In this special reflective episode, I pause to look back on 2025—a year filled with growth, connection, creativity, and community inside Outdoor Classrooms.Rather than an interview, this episode is an invitation to slow down. Together, we reflect on what it truly means to build outdoor classrooms over time—with intention, curiosity, and care—while looking ahead to what's taking root for 2026.

Frohes neues Jahr! In dieser Folge wird zwar noch ein wenig an der Illusion gerüttelt (Stichwort: Voraufnahme im Pyjama), aber wir starten mit Vollgas in das Campingjahr 2026. Eva (@czamping) und Inke (@luftschloss_liebe) blicken auf ein Wahnsinnsjahr 2025 zurück und verraten euch, warum ihr dieses Jahr öfter mal eure Hausaufgaben machen müsst. Wir schauen hinter die Kulissen der Camping-Trends, blicken auf neue Maut-Regeln und verraten, welche Campingplätze für die kommende Saison so richtig fett aufrüsten.

It's the final episode of the year and we're going out sparkly, chaotic, and very on brand ✨ This week, we're joined by the incredible Melanie Eaton (Helms), Richmond-based luxury fashion, boudoir, and branding photographer, plus ME Program member Hannah, for a conversation about confidence, creativity, community, and taking bold artistic risks.We talk disposable cameras, Barbie shoots, Vikings, mermaids, snakes (yes, real ones), and why overthinking is the hardest thing to photograph. PLUS—Big Daddy brings us some truly unhinged Bad Santa crimes, and we round things out with high-key and low-key New Year's Eve plans around Richmond.

The Olympic Peninsula beckons with its captivating blend of lavender-scented fields, historic coastal towns, and magical gardens just waiting to be discovered. Join us, The ROAMies, as we unpack our adventures through this Pacific Northwest gem, starting in Sequim—North America's lavender capital—where purple fields and blueberry farms inspired a special tea blend bearing the town's name.Sequim proved the perfect launch point for our peninsula explorations. The quaint town buzzes with lavender culture, featuring shops like Sunshine Herb and Lavender Farm where everything from culinary seasonings to home goods carries the signature scent. Though we missed the Olympic Game Farm's drive-through safari experience, we'll definitely return for close encounters with bison, bears, and llamas.Our wanderings took us to the stunning Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, where a rugged trail stretches 11 miles round-trip to a distant lighthouse. We ventured to Port Townsend, a Victorian seaport brimming with maritime charm, art galleries, and the starting point of the ambitious Olympic Discovery Trail—a 130-mile pathway being built along a former railroad corridor connecting communities across the peninsula.The most unexpected adventure came during our cross-border journey to Victoria, British Columbia. A forgotten passport meant one of us explored alone while the other uncovered Port Angeles's hidden gems. Victoria's crown jewel, Butchart Gardens, revealed its century-old splendor through the Sunken Garden (transformed from an abandoned quarry), the star-shaped pond originally designed for ornamental ducks, and meticulously maintained Japanese, Italian, and Rose gardens.• Sequim serves as the perfect home base with its relaxing atmosphere and status as North America's lavender capital• Lavender and blueberry fields inspired a special tea blend named "Sequim"• Sunshine Herb and Lavender Farm offers everything lavender from seasonings to home goods• The Olympic Game Farm provides drive-through wildlife viewing opportunities for families• Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge features an 11-mile round trip beach walk to a lighthouse• Port Townsend charms with Victorian architecture, art galleries, and maritime history• The Olympic Discovery Trail spans from Port Townsend to La Push along a former railroad corridor: https://olympicdiscoverytrail.org/• Victoria's Butchart Gardens showcases stunning themed gardens including the Sunken Garden, Japanese Garden, and Star Pond• Travel mishaps can lead to unexpected adventures, as when one forgot their passport for CanadaWhether you're chasing Twilight filming locations, seeking tranquil lavender rows, or craving coastal hikes, the Olympic Peninsula grounds you in Pacific Northwest beauty while feeding your wanderlust.

A special report from RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week. Ali was incredibly fortunate to be invited into one of the Show Gardens to interview the designers.  What a surreal experience to be recording the very talented Dido Milne and Sophie Parmenter in the garden they designed for The National Autistic Society. An enveloping, safe and calm garden in the midst of a bustling show. Upon stepping into the garden, this girl from the countryside who prefers peace and quiet, was completely rejuvinated. This garden will be relocated to a National Autistic Society site at Catrine Bank in Scotland, where, I am certain, many clients will benefit greatly.Web links below Su Hoskin is back to talk about the Hāwea Food Forest - Community Food Forests are buzzing with activity and camaraderie, and participants get to enjoy the fruits of their labour, it's a win - win.Dandelion root tea is the flavour of the day - actually it's more a coffee substitute, will Jen like this one??Barren period until 2nd June then its Root crops 3rd & 4th… Keep planting bulbs for Spring colour.The winter crops are being harvested now, the last of the pumpkins, Jerusalem Artichokes and NZ Yams.

How can parents encourage outdoor play? In today's episode, we have Heather Bishop sharing her perspectives of Outdoor Classrooms as both a parent and educator. Heather shares her journey as a teacher, raising two boys outdoors, her family stories from the Secret Gardens Outdoor Classroom, and how she has taken lessons learned from an outdoor classroom and woven them into both her parenting and teaching.MEET HEATHER: Heather Bishop is a mom of two boys and an educator with a heart for the outdoors! Heather's passion for teaching spread outside of the classroom walls after having her first son which has allowed her to work with students of all ages, within several content areas. From teaching first grade in a public school setting, to pre-k in a private setting, and even tutoring for years with students from age 4 to 24, using nature as a classroom has been a powerful component of Heather's teaching. Just over two years ago, Heather and her eldest son and met Victoria and were welcomed into her Outdoor Classroom. Now, her whole family looks forward to their time in the Secret Gardens as often as we can, and Heather notes that she is encouraged and inspired to continue educating through nature because of this beautiful program!CONNECT WITH VICTORIA:WEBSITE: www.outdoor-classrooms.comEMAIL: Victoria@outdoor-classrooms.comInstagram: instagram.com/outdoor_classrooms/Facebook: Facebook.com/OutdoorClassrooms1OUTDOOR CLASSROOM RESOURCES:The Outdoor Classrooms CIRCLE MembershipThe Outdoor Teaching Bootcamp Seeds of Inspiration for Outdoor Learning Card DeckFREE PDF Library of Nature-Based Children's Book & Weekly Seedling News

Seruan Setu – The Secret Gardens of the Sea promises an enchanting musical journey that spotlights Malaysia's endangered seagrass ecosystems, through the magic of the performing arts. Seagrasses are vital to both marine life and coastal communities, yet their rapid decline is often overlooked. In this concert by Rhythm in Bronze, the group will present original gamelan compositions interwoven with compelling stories of seagrass and the communities that depend on them. We discuss what's in store, and also the team's commitment to connecting environmental issues with the arts with both Dr Jillian Ooi, the Artistic & Music Director of Rhythm in Bronze, she's also a Marine Ecologist & Senior Lecturer at the University of Malaya, and a Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation, and Sharmini Ratnasingam, Rhythm in Bronze's Executive Producer.Image Credit: Rhythm in Bronze

Few of us need reminding that childhood can be a difficult and challenging time; but it can also be a magical one. That duality is at the heart of The Whalebone Theater, the best-selling debut novel of Joana Quinn. Childhood is central, also, to Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 classic novel, The Secret Garden, in which a group of three young children discover the transformative magic of nature during the course of three seasons in a remote house in the Yorkshire moors. It is one of two books that Quinn has chosen for Shelf Life. The other is Michael Ondaatje's prize-winning novel, The English Patient, a deeply poetic story of love and betrayal, identity and class that takes place in an abandoned Italian villa in the waning days of the Second World War.

We first visited in summer and are now looking forward to better weather to come when we can explore the gardens of The Newt once again – all 17 acres of them.

Our first guest of 2023 is award-winning garden writer Barbara Segall. Her new book 'The Secret Gardens of the South East: A Private Tour' is out now and packed with inspiring plots.Alongside telling the story behind the book, Barbara shares Show and Tell from her own garden. More of that next week, plus FLOMO.PLANT LISTIlex aquifoliumIlex latifoliaIlex × koehneana 'Chestnut Leaf'Ilex aquifolium 'East Ruston Gold'Miscanthus nepalensisMalus transitoria

Horticulturist and garden writer Barbara Segall, editor of The Horticulturist, the quarterly journal of The Chartered Institute of Horticulture and a well-known gardening author, is the guest on this HortWeek podcast.Segall talks about the importance of networking, particularly post-lockdown.She discusses her new book Secret Gardens of the South East and what her approach is to find interesting gardens.A prolific visitor of these gardens, Segall talks about her highlights including one designed as a church grown over 30 years: "It's got two storeys, it's got doors windows and buttress and this summer [the gardener designer's] daughter got married in it!...I think that's what I've discovered - that gardeners are amazing!"The herb expert selects her favourites and chats about gardening in Suffolk and her South African background.She talks about her Chartered Institute of Horticulture journal editing role and a forthcoming article on Project Giving Back as well as the role of the Garden Media Guild, of which she is a long-standing member. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode sponsored by Genus gardenwear Joff Elphick talks to Barbara Segall about her new book GARDENS of the SOUTH-EAST published by Frances Lincoln. Within its 144 pages are  20 gardens many of which often remain overlooked but all of which display the passion of the owners or gardeners that look after them. It's a fascinating talk with not just the gardens, but many names of people involved in horticulture scattered throughout the episode for one reason or another. Jane perrone, Alys Fowler, Peter Donegan, Rocky Coles, Marcus Harper, Fergus Garrett, Clive Boursnell,Beth Chatto, Christopher LLoyd, Tom Coward,William Robinson, John Brookes,  and Gertrude Jekyll all get a mention. The publisher says: A tour of some of the UK's most beguiling gardens in the counties of Kent, Sussex and Surrey, the counties that exemplify 'the garden of England'. In these three counties a wealth of history and horticulture has combined with geography in the shape of rolling landscapes, wooded valleys and meandering waterways, to provide an attractive and fascinating collection. They are in villages and towns, as well as in deep countryside, and all are privately owned. Some have been in the possession of the same family for many generations, while others have recently been transformed by new owners. Some open for the National Garden Scheme, while others are open privately and in some cases for just the occasional day for charity. The stunning gardens explored in this visually rich guide include: Arundel Castle, Denmans, Gravetye Manor, Munstead Wood and Sussex Prairie Garden. The book also includes a gazetteer of other important gardens in the area with location advice, to enable readers to plan a more elaborate tour of this fertile garden area. Filled with stunning, specially commissioned photographs by Clive Boursnell, Secret Gardens of the South East is a unique guide that opens the gates to the most intriguing gardens in this part of England.

I was happy to finally connect with John Boles to talk about his impressive post-rock project, Align in Time! In our conversation, we discuss how he creates these elaborate instrumentals by himself, why that usually means long gaps between albums, doing some recording at Strangeways in PVD back in the day, and what people can expect from Align in Time's first show in 10 years. Plus, he teases a little more about some fun stuff he's got planned for the future! Make sure to catch Align in Time with Secret Gardens, Circus Trees, and Strip Mall at Fete on Saturday, November 12, 2022!!! Interlude song order: "Men Without Chests" from Align in Time's album, Me & My Arrow "This Is Later" from Align in Time's album, On a Spiral " I Go Too (Acoustic)" from Align in Time's acoustic EP // Interview recorded November 7th, 2022 via Instagram Live // Intro music by Cedros // Hosted by James Toomey // /// If you enjoy the episode please leave a rating or review wherever you're listening right now! ///

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world … is a garden.” When Frances Hodgson Burnett penned those words more than a century ago in her classic children's book The Secret Garden, there probably were very few, perhaps not any flower gardens on the University of South Carolina campus. But we've made up for it in the past 50 years or so. On this short tour, you'll learn the history of several not-so-secret gardens on campus and what's planted in each one.

It's all part of the Secret Gardens weekend. David gets a preview of a view of the gardens opening for a good cause. Also on the programme, the art of painting plants. David meets botanical artist Ali Walker who explains her endless fascination with flora and a visit to Belfast's Botanic Gardens where the team are getting ready for summer.

  We talk about Morocco's most infamous secret prison; about fathers and sons; about survivors who tell their stories and writers who borrow (or steal?) them.  Show Notes:  Johanna Sellman “Memoirs from Tazmamart: Writing Strategies and Alternative Frameworks of Judgment” gives an overview of the survivors' writing about Tazmamart through 2006. In 1999-2000, Mohamed Raiss published an account of his experiences serialized in Arabic. It was translated to French and published in book form in 2011 as Skhirat to Tazmamart: Return from the Bottom of Hell. Ahmed Marzouki's Tazmamart Cellule 10 (Tazmamart Cell 10) came out in 2000. There is also a more recent interview with him, translated to English, in Jadaliyya. The account of  Ali Bourequat, In the Moroccan King's Secret Gardens (1998), is out of print. In 2000 Medhat Bourequat, another of the Bourequat brothers, published his account, Mort Vivant (Living Dead). Tahar Ben Jelloun's Cette aveuglante absence de lumière (That Blinding Absence of Light) appeared in 2001 and was apparently based on a three-hour interview with Aziz Binebine, who wrote an open letter saying Ben Jelloun pressured him to talk and disavowed the novel. Aziz Binebine's own testimony, Tazmamort, appeared in 2009. The English translation, by Lulu Norman, appeared this spring. Binebine's brother, Mahi Binebine, has written a novel about their father, who was a favorite companion and court “jester” of Hassan II, and who disavowed his son when he was imprisoned, Le fou du roi.  The Moroccan novelist Youssef Fadel features both the figure of the father/court jester and the prison of Tazmamart in his novels A Beautiful White Cat Walks With Me and A Rare Blue Bird Flies With Me. We discussed the devastating Syrian prison memoir The Shell, by Mustafa Khalifa; and we talked about Morocco's years of lead previously in this episode.
