A podcast about wilding the places we live,: one verge, garden and crack in the pavement at a time.
Hosted by Alena and Roisin, Your Wild Streets is a new podcast from UK Youth for Nature exploring how we can bring nature back into our everyday spaces and why it matters now more than ever. From gardens to councils, backyards to policy change, each episode weaves together seasonal reflections, guest interviews and action to inspire a wilder, more biodiverse world.
Whether you’re planting wildflowers on your windowsill or pushing your council to ban pesticides, Your Wild Streets offers a space to reclaim connection, beauty and belonging in the places we live.
This podcast supports the Your Wild Streets campaign, calling for a national ban on pesticides in urban areas and a shift toward pesticide-free councils across the UK.
New monthly episodes launching in June.

Politics of the Pavement (Part 1) with Jack Wallington
In this first half of our Politics of the Pavement two-parter, we prise up the paving slabs and look at how our streets and gardens became so obsessively neat and what we’ve lost along the way. From Victorian ideals of respectability to the post-war pesticide boom, this episode traces how control and order were built into our landscapes. We explore why weeds are still seen as shameful, the lasting cultural power of “tidy,” and how chemical dependency became normalised in public and private spaces.
Later in the episode, we’re joined by writer, organic grower, and garden designer Jack Wallington, who reflects on his journey from Chelsea Flower Show gardens to wilder, chemical-free growing. Together, we explore what it means to rewrite the story of gardens.
