After months of Avian Flu restrictions, Emma Ruff explains why Open Farm Sunday offers a much-needed chance to show off her twelve thousand free-range laying hens to the world.

Could you identify a Common Dog Violet, or the humble Red Clover? In a recent survey it was found that many people are clueless when it comes to wildflowers, and Trevor Dines from Plantlife explains what they plan to do about it and why it's so important. As he points out, plants are the only kind of wildlife you touch, smell, eat and pick and take to your home, which you can't do that to a Guillemot!

There's also listener reaction to George Monbiot's call on Wednesday for people to trespass on farmland.

Presenter: Charlotte Smith
Producer: Toby Field.
