Growing Wild has been espousing the virtues of nature since 2016, when it started as a radio show. Presenter and producer Charlotte Petts is a big nature lover and seeks people out to help understand different environmental issues, to tell of their work, adventures and, moreover, to share their mutual love of the outdoors. There are (to name but a few) wild swimmers, mountaineers, allotmenteers, soil scientists, swift watchers, writers, painters, therapists, garden designers and even hedge enthusiasts. Nature connection a go-go.
Winner of New talent award 2017, Best Radio/Podcast Production 2018 and shortlisted for Beth Chatto's environmental award 2019.

It’s so good to hear you

Sublime
Charlotte's podcast is just perfect. I listen to it at the end of the day when I want to relax. Charlotte is a natural presenter and storyteller, her voice is captivating and her subjects really interesting.
Superb Wild Swimming special
Made me want to rush off to the nearest stretch of water - please do more episodes on wild swimming !!!
Something for everyone
This podcast takes you on journey through so many subjects; some you know a bit about, some you heard a bit about and a whole bunch that is stuff I need to hear more about!!!
Hearing the people explain what they do while they're doing it and loving their subject is what I love most.
