How can gardeners make a real difference for wildlife?Rod Whiting is joined by Boom Radio's nature expert Mary Porter and resident horticulturist John Stirland to explore simple, practical ways to turn your garden into a haven for birds, bees, butterflies, hedgehogs, and countless other creatures.Following one of the hottest, driest summers in recent years, they discuss how wildlife is adapting, the plants that provide food when it's needed most, why ponds are such valuable habitats, and how a few small changes can have a surprisingly big impact.Along the way you'll hear about hummingbird hawk moths, kingfishers, dragonflies, grass snakes and the simple joys of watching nature return to your garden.Whether you have a window box or several acres, this episode is full of ideas to help wildlife thrive through every season.

What if flowers are more than beautiful? What if they're speaking? Nature might be the medicine we need right now! In this heart warming episode of Medium Curious, Sarah and Jane sit down with Mary Porter Kerns—writer, flower communicator, and creator of The Flowers Are Speaking—for a soulful conversation about plant intelligence, intuition, imagination, and our ancient relationship with the natural world. Mary shares how her connection with flowers evolved over time, from gardening and houseplants to receiving direct messages from flowers through meditation and free writing. She opens up about the turning point that helped her trust her inner knowing (“what if it doesn't matter if it's ‘real'?”), how flowers can offer emotional and spiritual support, and why reconnecting with nature may be one of the most important things we can do in challenging times. The conversation weaves through magnolias, hellebores, dandelions, forest bathing, flower essences, imagination vs. intuition, and the deeper “long story” of interconnection between humans, flowers, and the living world. It's mystical, grounded, funny, and deeply comforting. Flowers are more than decoration — Mary describes them as sentient beings with ancient wisdom and emotional intelligence. Intuition and imagination work together — not as opposites, but as a two-way street that opens deeper perception. Nature can help regulate the nervous system — especially in times of collective stress and overwhelm. Flowers may communicate through emotion — Mary believes plants sense our emotional states and respond in their own language. You can begin connecting with flowers right now — by noticing which flower/plant draws you in, observing its qualities, and free-writing what it wants to say. The “long story” matters — flowers hold deep evolutionary memory and can help us remember cycles, patience, and interconnection. Cut flowers are not “bad” — Mary offers a beautiful, loving perspective on bringing flowers into the home as a reciprocal relationship. Hellebore as a message for this moment — Mary shares a powerful emerging insight about shock, madness, and collective wake-up calls. This work is both mystical and timely — Mary bridges the science of plant intelligence with the heart and soul of direct relationship. “If we can be connected with nature the way our ancestors used to be… then we might actually revere all people as sacred as well.” — Mary Porter Kerns “What if it doesn't matter if it's real or not? It's real in some realm.” — Mary Porter Kerns “Dreams and wishes matter… because dreams can change our DNA.” — Mary Porter Kerns “Our imagination can open up our intuition. Our intuition can allow our imagination.” — Mary Porter Kerns “Quit taking flowers for granted. Do you realize what a miracle this is?” — Mary Porter Kerns Mary Porter Kerns Website: https://theflowersarespeaking.com/ Mary Porter Kerns Substack:  https://maryporterkerns.substack.com/ Mentioned in podcast: Flower Essence Practitioner Medium Curious Website: https://www.mediumcurious.com Jane's Website: https://www.janemorganmedium.com Sarah's Website: https://www.sarahrathke.com Jane's new cohort 'Source Studio'; https://www.janemorganmedium.com/higher-calling Instagram: @mediumcuriouspod https://mediumcuriouspod.substack.com/

As gardeners, we're closer than most to nature and we have a good understanding of the role we play in attracting wildlife into our neighbourhoods. But, with many species in a progressive decline over recent decades, that responsibility becomes ever more critical. Mary Porter has dedicated much of her life to wildlife promotion and protection and we're delighted to have her as a guest to LYG as Spring brings fresh challenges and opportunities for us to do our bit.Thanks to our UK-based sponsors Fitzgerald Laing Decorators:for a free quote and advice on any project, here's their Facebook Group:  https://bit.ly/3zvPicBPROUD TO HAVE BEEN A FINALIST  IN THE ‘22 GARDEN MEDIA GUILD AWARDS FOR PODCAST OF THE YEAR.

We discuss with the spokeswomen Mary Porter about the Guthrie County Southern Gospel Sing that takes place on August 5 and 6th.

Regardless of your views on climate change, July's record UK temperatures, coupled with similar events globally, remind us that something is very definitely afoot.  It's an issue gardeners especially have been aware of for some time, particularly those taking an interest in our wildlife - or lack of it!Our guest this week, Mary Porter, has spent a lifetime championing the cause of UK wildlife from her Lincolnshire base with weekly reports on local radio and now a national station: Boom Radio on Sunday mornings.  We discuss the changes, the challenges different wildlife face and the things we can do as gardeners. Because it's a general conversation between Mary, John and myself, there are no chapters this week, it's one just to set aside half an hour for a, hopefully,  informative piece on this topical issue. As ever, your feedback on our podcasts is welcome... email: rod@rodwhitingcommunications.co.ukThanks, as ever, to our sponsors, Fitzgerald Laing Decorators - visit:  https://bit.ly/3zvPicB for free advice or a consultation.

This episode is with Mary Porter, founder of the Looking Glass Peyote Church in Oregon. This is the first church in North America to run under Pre-European Contact Law, and is able to give certain Schedule 1 substances to people of any race, such as San Pedro, mushrooms, and peyote cactus. Peyote requires a DNA test previous to use (I made a mistake and said San Pedro instead of peyote in the beginning my apologies!) I sat down with Mary the night before the Spirit Plant Medicine Conference where she was one of many excellent speakers. Mary will have a podcast of her own coming out soon as well called "Mirror Mirror," and has been on The Entheogenic Experience and Psychedelic Salon Podcasts if you want to hear more from her! Hear me fail to understand the way neurons work in the intro! This was a fun episode.
