Hello, hello! 👋 I hope you're very well! Can you believe it's already November? Where has the year gone?!

Things have been busy, but I've managed to clear the decks for a very exciting announcement: I'm launching a collaboration! 🥳

I'm partnering with the incredibly talented Annie Gray of Curly Wurly Creations to launch a brand new pattern celebrating the countryside, gardening, and my life at home! We've poured months into designing a beautiful pattern featuring everything from garden tools and homegrown veggies to my very own Corgi, Willow, riding in a wheelbarrow!

But the best part? We are doing this to raise money for a charity very close to our hearts: Yellow Wellies (The Farm Safety Foundation).

In this episode, you'll hear from Steph Berkeley, founder of Yellow Wellies, about the incredible work they do for the physical and mental well-being of the next generation of farmers. Plus, I sit down with Annie Gray to chat about:

• 🐑 Her deep farming roots and why lambing is her absolute favourite (and most intense!) time of year.
• 🎨 The inspiration behind Curly Wurly Creations, how her kids influence her designs, and the challenge of drawing different sheep breeds.
• 💖 The story behind our collaboration, why 50% of the profits will support Yellow Wellies, and where you can find this exclusive design on everything from aprons to tea towels!

I've had a difficult year with my own mental health, and I am so proud to be giving back to this amazing cause. We're doing a huge giveaway to celebrate the launch, so be sure to check my social media!

If you enjoyed the Gardener's World episode, welcome back! If you're new, thank you for joining me for a very special look behind the scenes of one of the UK's most beloved shows.

I was thrilled to return to the beautiful Kew Gardens for the In Conversation Live with BBC CountryFile event! I managed to sit down with the incredible team of Matt Baker, John Craven, and Anita Rani for a group chat where we discussed the show's massive shift to prime time, the power of connecting urban and rural audiences, and why CountryFile has become such a cross-generational program.

Join me as I connect with these TV legends and hear how their work truly inspires people to get outside. It’s a joy to be part of the "convert" club, moving from town to country, and I know you'll love this inspiring chat!

Hey everyone, it’s Lizzie!

This week on Second Nature, I’m bringing you something really special. I recently got to visit the incredible Kew Gardens for the In Conversation with BBC Gardeners' World event!

I felt completely immersed in the greenery of Kew Gardens, and what a fantastic setting for an intimate chat with some of the best minds in gardening.

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with three of my favourite BBC Gardeners' World presenters: Frances Tophill, Adam Frost, and Nicki Chapman! It genuinely felt like catching up with old friends, and we covered everything from their own projects to some of their best gardening advice.

In this episode, you’ll hear us chat about:

• Frances Tophill's new book, A Wildflower Year, and her fantastic advice on how to start gardening on a budget, no matter how small your space.
• Adam Frost's top tips for planning your garden this autumn and how getting outdoors has positively affected his own wellbeing.
• Nicki Chapman's perspective on how to design a garden that’s your own personal sanctuary.

So grab a brew and get ready to hear some fantastic tips and behind-the-scenes stories!

Get in touch! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can always get in touch with me on social media at @LizzieMuddyHeelsMac or by emailing info@second-nature.co.uk.
