I am delighted to announce that I am now an ambassador for Ecotalk + RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). To kick it all off, I am bringing you content for the first time from outside the tiny garden/allotment by travelling to meet Dr. Simon Pickering, Principal Ecologist. We chatted about ‘Winter Gardening Tips for Wildlife’ in his wildlife friendly garden! This video is packed with tips for plants, feeders, compost, ponds, messiness & soil health!
Why have I decided to be an ambassador of a mobile network? Well, Ecotalk and RSPB have teamed up to create new habitats for Britain’s wildlife. They use the money from customers’ bills to give land back to nature. We are all of course part of nature but we need to move quickly towards greater balance for our vital ecosystems and what easier step to take than by switching your everyday bills to start making a real difference? They’ve also been recognised by Ethical Consumer as a “Best Buy” for their low cost tariffs and unrivalled national coverage, thanks to their use of the EE network. As well as donating all profits to RSPB, they are also the only zero carbon mobile provider – ensuring 100% renewable energy matches your use. I have been using Ecotalk as my mobile network provider for a few years so I can wholeheartedly recommend switching. This has been in the works for a while, even before I represented Ecotricity on instagram last summer (which, by the way, is still Britain’s greenest energy company!) so I am delighted to tell you about Ecotalk + RSPB.
There will be another video from Beyond the Tiny Garden at a special RSPB location coming up so watch this space and if you have any questions drop me a line in the comments section below!

When it comes to wildlife conservation i couldnt understand why our local council cut the long grass on a large field next to tunstall hills in the middle of july last year. surely this was a bad idea when birds and insects would still be breeding at that time.
