Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith

Renaturing small spaces with James Canton

October 22, 2025 • Ben Goldsmith • Season 6 • Episode 4

"Something like 27 million people in Britain consider themselves gardeners. If you can harness those people, if you can get them thinking about their relationship with the natural world; with wildlife, with invertebrates, with bugs, with biodiversity, you're getting quite a big chunk of Britain heading in the right direction."

In this episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks to Dr. James Canton, author of Renaturing: Small Ways to Wild the World.

Discover how James transformed a humble two acre field into a buzzing haven by digging ponds, sowing meadows, and inviting wildlife back. Learn accessible 'renaturing' tips for your garden or windowsill to heal our planet, one patch at a time.
