Gardeners' Corner celebrates spring with a visit to the world-famous RHS Garden Wisley. Covering 240 acres, it's one of five gardens run by the Royal Horticultural Society and it attracts around one million visitors every year. Presenter David Maxwell visits several part of the garden that really come alive in spring, including the woodland areas at Oakwood and Battleston Hill and the crocus display on the conifer lawn. He also visits the labs at RHS Hilltop where scientists preserve plant DNA for future generations and sees a treasured dried potato plant collection by Charles Darwin. Also on the programme, a visit to Katy Bell's wildlife-friendly garden in County Down where insects, amphibians and birds are waking up and Amy Kelly explains how to have success with spuds.

Les podcasts sont des opportunités pour se poser des questions et des réflexions privées et sociales. Dans ce podcast courageux et sans tabou, nous ouvrons un esprit critique sur un sujet de santé pour permettre aux gens de mieux comprendre et d'agir en âme et conscience, avec discernement et responsabilité pour eux-même. Notre propos n'est ni de parler de victime, ni de coupable. Chacun doit se prendre en main, en tant qu'adulte libre et souverain. De plus, quoi qu'il arrive, on ne peut rien faire pour autrui, mais juste pour soi.En tant que professionnels, nous observons que des éléments importants passent sous le radar ou sont invisibles lorsqu'on divise les gens. Si on morcelle les champs d'observation et les données, on passe à côté de signaux potentiellement alarmants, voire graves. Les personnes non impactées par les traitements médicaux récents pourraient minimiser ou refuser de voir ce qui se passe sous leurs yeux, alors que les personnes directement impactées crient au scandale. Mais de quoi parlons-nous vraiment? Santé individuelle et collective? Ouvrons les yeux et le cœur sur la santé sexuelle actuelle.Comprendre la santé globale requiert que les professionnels qui possèdent chacun une visibilité sur une partie limitée du puzzle, un angle de vue réduit, se rassemblent pour partager leurs observations avec esprit critique.Que constate-t-on actuellement dans la santé sexuelle ? Les statistiques de problématiques en lien avec la santé sexuelle explosent depuis quelques années. C'est inquiétant.En ce moment, l'honnêteté de certaines institutions est peu scrupuleuse. (Scrupuleux signifie être exigeant sur le plan moral. Consciencieux. Qui respecte strictement les règles, les prescriptions… Les principes de précaution). Ce n'est pas compréhensible de l'œil du citoyen libre de tout conflit d'intérêt. Il conviendrait de demander aux personnes les plus critiques et indépendantes d'analyser les données de manière méthodique. Sans conflit d'intérêt (c'est-à-dire totalement indépendant de ceux qui ont contribué à la situation actuelle, quel que soit leur rôle). Il conviendrait de prendre plus de mesures/données (nouvelles aussi) et d'augmenter l'analyse de celles-ci. Il faut élargir le spectre de vigilance, et surtout ne pas le réduire ou le scinder en morceaux plus petits. Les statistiques peuvent être manipulées et empêcher de ce fait de voir ce qui se passe réellement. La société devrait exiger la plus grande vigilance. D'autre part, saviez-vous que tout le monde peut informer la pharmacovigilance ?Ne vous endormez pas par une médecine de protocoles autoritaires qui saurait mieux que vous. Faire remonter les informations est un acte citoyen qui ne dépend que de vous.Cela permet d'être vigilant pour soi ainsi que pour les autres. Ce que l'on aborde aujourd'hui dans ce podcast est un sujet d'autant plus important à discuter que la plupart des médecins n'osent pas aborder le sujet déjà en temps normal dans leurs pratiques (sexualité, sexologie). Et partant de ce constat, comment pourrions-nous obtenir des données officielles fiables et complètes sur l'impact des thérapies modernes sur la sexualité des gens si personne ne se/vous pose la question? A chacun.e sa route. L'important étant de prendre soin des un.e.s des autres en âme et conscience. Nous avons pris notre responsabilité. Nous vous souhaitons une bonne écoute.Citations : 1. Saviez-vous que dans son dernier interview donnée à la BBC il y a 75 ans le 25-07-1949, George Orwell, auteur du livre a dit des choses étonnantes. (Eric Blair, de son nom de plume George Orwell, a publié le livre 1984. Avant de mourir, le prophète des dérives totalitaires légua un ultime avertissement:Version originale :“I think that allowing for the book being, after all, a parody, something like 1984 could actually happen. This is the direction the world is going in at the present time.In our world, there will be no emotions except fear. rage, triumph and self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the orgasm. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party. But always there will be the intoxication of power. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory. the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one. Don't let it happen. It depends on you.”Version traduite :« Je pense que si l'on admet que le livre est, après tout, une parodie, quelque chose comme 1984 pourrait réellement se produire. C'est la direction que prend le monde à l'heure actuelle. Dans notre monde, il n'y aura plus d'émotions, sauf la peur, la rage, le triomphe et l'humiliation. L'instinct sexuel sera éradiqué. Nous abolirons l'orgasme. Il n'y aura plus de loyauté, sauf celle envers le parti. Mais il y aura toujours l'ivresse du pouvoir. Il y aura toujours, à chaque instant, le frisson de la victoire, la sensation de piétiner un ennemi impuissant. Si vous voulez une image de l'avenir, imaginez une botte piétinant un visage humain pour toujours. La morale à tirer de cette situation cauchemardesque et dangereuse est simple. Ne laissez pas cela se produire. Cela dépend de vous. »Orwell prononce deux phrases d'éveil des conscience très étonnantes à écouter en 2025:"Ne le laissez pas se produire. Ça dépend de vous !!!"“L'instinct sexuel sera éradiqué. Il aboliront l'orgasme!”2. Dr. Gustav Heinemann, président de la République fédérale d'Allemagne 1969-74, a dit: « Un peuple qui est gouverné par un pouvoir doit connaître le pouvoir qui le gouverne. Il, le peuple, doit diriger et contrôler ce pouvoir. Il doit dénoncer le pouvoir lorsqu'il commet des crimes. Dans le cas contraire, le peuple devient complice. Le fondement de la démocratie est la souveraineté populaire et non le pouvoir d'un État autoritaire. Ce n'est pas le citoyen qui est en relation d'obéissance avec le gouvernement, mais le gouvernement qui est responsable de ses actes devant le citoyen dans le cadre des lois. Le citoyen a le droit et le devoir de rappeler le gouvernement à l'ordre s'il estime qu'il ne respecte pas les droits démocratiques ».3. Dr. Mike Yeadon, ancien vice-président et directeur scientifique de Pfizer Global R&D :https://x.com/wideawake_media/status/1893984415623057835?t=OG8cpLv-Aim50fevtQSDqQWide Awake MediaPhrase originale:"[The mRNA-based Covid "vaccines"] were designed—intentionally—to harm, maim and kill, and to reduce human fertility."Traduction: « Les « vaccins » Covid à base d'ARNm ont été conçus intentionnellement pour nuire, mutiler et tuer, et pour réduire la fertilité humaine.Transcription complète de cette vidéo de 1min27: Speaker 0 | 00:00.212If you've followed me, you'll know I've spent over 30 years in research in the pharmaceutical industry and biotech. I've trained in toxicology and I've worked with colleagues designing experimental molecules that we hope will become medicines. That gives me the credentials to stand, as it were, in the shoes of the designers of these vaccines. and answer the question what were you thinking when you made these design decisions now you can go and watch any of my interviews or cut to the chase and you may not believe it but i am sure not slightly but sure these materials were designed intentionally to harm many and kill and to reduce human fertility. Well, that is my verdict. And I can stand it up. I will be in court, Supreme Court in Costa Rica very shortly, and I'll be using exactly this argument that I will give with detail. That's the first point. So don't take these injectables. Don't take the next lot either. They will also be designed to harm you. All mRNA-based materials are dangerous. Thank you.Traduction en français: Si vous m'avez suivi, vous savez que j'ai passé plus de 30 ans à faire de la recherche dans l'industrie pharmaceutique et la biotechnologie. J'ai suivi une formation en toxicologie et j'ai travaillé avec des collègues pour concevoir des molécules expérimentales qui, nous l'espérons, deviendront des médicaments. Cela me donne les qualifications nécessaires pour me mettre, pour ainsi dire, à la place des concepteurs de ces vaccins et répondre à la question suivante : à quoi pensiez-vous lorsque vous avez pris ces décisions de conception ? Vous pouvez regarder n'importe laquelle de mes interviews ou aller droit au but et vous ne le croirez peut-être pas, mais je suis sûre, pas légèrement, mais sûre que ces matériaux ont été conçus intentionnellement pour nuire à de nombreuses personnes, pour les tuer et pour réduire la fertilité humaine. Tel est mon verdict. Et je peux le défendre. Je serai très bientôt devant la Cour suprême du Costa Rica et j'utiliserai exactement les mêmes arguments que ceux que j'exposerai en détail. C'est le premier point. Ne prenez donc pas ces produits injectables. Ne prenez pas non plus le lot suivant. Ils seront également conçus pour vous nuire. Tous les matériaux à base d'ARNm sont dangereux. Je vous remercie de votre attention.https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/rfkjr/episodes/Former-Pfizer-Vice-President-Dr--Mike-Yeadon-Speaks-Out-e10fd1hSaviez-vous : Les cellules internes des vaisseaux sanguins, appelées les cellules endothéliales, ont un rôle crucial dans les fonctions sexuelles, dont l'érection masculine et féminine.

Elle décrit ces impacts comme un "attentat intentionnel" contre la sexualité humaine, mettant en lumière des dommages au système reproductif et des événements indésirables liés aux vaccins, affectant les femmes dans un ratio de 3:1 par rapport aux hommes5. En Belgique, Docteur Résimont a dit récemment à propos des effets secondaires: Tout ça pour un truc qui ne protège ni de la maladie, ni de sa transmission, ni des formes graves. Depuis quatre ans, j'ai été insulté, traité de dangereux, de complotiste, j'ai perdu des amis pour avoir dit que, pour n'importe quel médoc, il y a des effets secondaires, pour avoir clamé haut et fort qu'un pseudo vaccin qui tue plus que la maladie n'a aucune raison d'être utilisé, ni rendu obligatoire.J'ai perdu mon boulot de chirurgien pour cela.6.

Effets secondaires catastrophiques : Les vaccins mRNA présentent des taux d'effets indésirables graves sans précédent, incluant des décès et des risques de dommages à l'ADN humain.2. Données dissimulées : Des analyses révèlent des résidus d'ADN étrangers dans les vaccins de Pfizer et Moderna, un danger jamais testé ou communiqué au public.3.

With spring just around the corner presenter David Maxwell, explores what we can all get growing in mid-February to get ahead of the game. Sweet Peas, Tomatoes and Chillies can all be sown right now on a warm windowsill for a summer full of scent and home grown goodness. Amy Kelly reveals how you can have a delicious crop of raspberries and strawberries without a garden and Gardeners' World presenter Adam Frost tells us why he's picked a showy willow as his shrub of the month. Also on the programme, as Mount Venus nursery prepares to move up the road, David joins Oliver Schurmann to find out about the logistics of moving a plant business and garden that's celebrating its 25th birthday. In studio, David is joined by expert Ann FitzSimons. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

"Inclusion" Sunday, February 2, 2025 Who's in? Who's out? Belonging? Exclusion? Making room? Accommodations. Drawing the circle wider. Stretching beyond what we know, what and who is familiar.

"Story: Wine, Weddings, and a Coming Out" Sunday, January 26, 2025 The theme of January is “Story.” One of the things I love about a tradition—religious, cultural, or literary—is that the community starts to repeat and value certain stories as worth revisiting, as worth revising in light of the interpretations we bring to them based on where we are in our lives. I've long been fascinated and horrified by the story of the wedding in Cana, one scene in the life of Jesus. It takes place in the Gospel as told by John, Chapter 2, verses 1-12. It's about wine. It's about a wedding. It is about a moment of coming out and the frightening and powerful inevitabilities that can be part of a life too.  Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev.

"How Do We Lead?" Sunday, December 8, 2024 Church has always been a place (and houses of worship in general) where the definition and understanding of how leadership shows up among us is broader and fuller than the world sometimes defines it. It's not so much that we loosen the definition but that we see so clearly how it takes so many different skills and gifts to make the whole of what we want to do together possible. This Sunday we will ask three leaders, in different tenures of leadership, to reflect on what calls them into the work and what they have learned and reflect on our own notion of and call to lead. The service is created and led with our Nominating Committee -- the group charged at UUSF not just of identifying leaders but equipping and developing and celebrating their leadership. Rev.

What trees work well in small spaces? This week David Maxwell visits two experts who have the answer. Amy Kelly's small suburban garden is full of fruit trees including the mysterious Medlar fruit. Once commonplace in Britain and Ireland, the fruit, which has to be left to over-ripen, has fallen out of favour. Amy thinks the tree still deserves a place because it provides several seasons of interest and fruit to boot! In Ann FitzSimons' Killinchy garden, she is growing a variety of shrubs and trees in pots.

"Listening Deeply to Hear if We Got the Story Right" Sunday, October 13, 2024 Storytelling is powerful. Maybe the most powerful tool we have to move human hearts and wills—a nation, a family, people—all of us tell and live into a lot of stories and their truths. Which means stories also need to be interrogated, and we only do that by listening deeply, getting curious, and being willing, if need be, to change something as sacred as the stories we tell... and live by.

"Accountability to What We Hear Inside" Sunday, October 6, 2024, 10:50 am As we enter into the Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and as we launch into an examination of the theme of Deep Listening, I find myself reflecting on how deep listening to ourselves, our inner voice and feelings, is foundational to our personal discernment.

"Spiritual Practices and Climate Justice" Sunday, July 7, 10:50 am, 2024 "We can never return to innocence, but we can move forward with integrity." - Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman The 20th-century spiritual leader, Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman, loved San Francisco. A mentor to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Pauli Murray, Thurman found in this city a special dynamism, a variety of people, and chance interactions that could be a gateway to transformation, individually and collectively, to resist racism, classism, and hardness of heart. In a time of climate crisis, what is love asking us to do? Spirituality and activism are not opposites—Thurman would often say they are complements. To sustain long-term work for change—whether challenging air pollution health risks, adapting to rising sea levels, cultivating food forests and community gardens, securing safe, affordable housing, or preparing renewable energies—requires vision, community, and time to "center down." Let's explore how personal spiritual practices may help inform our work for climate justice.  Rev.

Despite unseasonably cold weather, David samples the delights of early summer at Ballyrobert Cottage Garden where Maurice Parkinson has a large collection of that reliable perennial Astrantia. In west Belfast, he visits Bog Meadows where Ulster Wildlife have created a new garden.

Amy Kelly reveals how you can grow a mini orchard on your patio and David catches up with some of those taking part in the Great Gardeners' Corner Grow Along. In studio, Mary Doris brings the taste of summer with Elderflower cordial and she also uses the foraged flowers in jam and cupcakes. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

"When Legacy Propels Boldness" Sunday, April 28, 10:50 am, 2024 The word "legacy" always draws for me images of things past: heavy, anchoring, a little dusty, and old. But in reality, they are just as often more like a sail for covering fast oceans or a ballast for weathering storms than a heavy anchor somewhere fixed and forgotten. This Sunday, I will talk about some of the legacy of the UU Service Committee (UUSC) and its living legacy as I return from a trip to Poland with its Board to meet with organizations doing the work to protect human rights and serve war-torn lands as boldly as that which launched the organization over 70 years ago. Moreover, this Sunday we will talk about our own legacy in this church with our Allyne Circle and those we honor and name this Sunday who are added to our plaque. Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev. Laura Shennum, Minister of Congregational Life; Sarah Ellerman, Allyne Circle; Linda Enger, Trustee; Reiko Oda Lane, Organist; UUSF Choir led by Mark Sumner, Music Director; Wm.

"What Will You Save?" Sunday, February 25, 10:50 am, 2024 As the years accumulate and I (Rev. Sonya) experience growing satisfaction with a life well lived, I wonder what it is worthwhile to save—for posterity, for my children, for our communities? At the same time, a recent article lifted up the fact that longevity often depends on engagement and connection with people and efforts rather than saving and consuming. Rev. Sonya Sukalski and Carmen Barsody will take up the topic with an eye toward walking that fine line. Rev. Sonya Sukalski, Sabbatical Minister; Rev.
