About MP Landscape & Garden Design &; Food and fire outdoor living and The White Shire

Welcome back — I’m Michael Palmer, garden and landscape designer, founder of MP Landscape & Garden Design, and creator of Food & Fire Outdoor Living. Alongside my wife, Lyn, we run The White Shire, exploring the very best of Yorkshire — its landscapes, walks, history, and hidden gems. On this podcast, I’ll share stories from gardens I’ve designed, tips for outdoor spaces and kitchens, and adventures around Yorkshire. Whether you love garden design, cooking outdoors, or discovering Yorkshire, you’re in the right place.

From Goats to Honey: The Story of Herd & Hive.

Welcome to The White Shire [https://www.thewhiteshire.co.uk/] Podcast, where I celebrate the makers, growers, and craftspeople who help keep Yorkshire’s heritage alive. I’m Michael, and each episode I take you behind the scenes of the small, hardworking businesses that give our county its character — the people who still believe in doing things properly, with care, craft, and a real connection to the land. Today, I’m sharing the story of a family‑run business that’s become a personal favourite of mine. It’s rooted in the countryside, shaped by the seasons, and built on simple, honest values. This is Herd & Hive [https://herdandhive.co.uk/?srsltid=AfmBOorDKKicAhxyKOSrXCgu9kEbb79gQvhHbGEJFW6azw9T2Z9kebLT] — and they’re a perfect example of what makes Yorkshire craft so special.

Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Michael from ⁠MP Landscape and Garden Design⁠, and today I’m diving into one of my favourite topics in garden structure design

Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Michael from MP Landscape and Garden Design [https://www.mpgardendesigns.info/], and today I’m diving into one of my favourite topics in garden structure design — timber pergolas and garden arches. These features do far more than frame a view or hold up a climbing rose. When they’re designed properly, they shape the way you move through a garden, create atmosphere, and add real architectural presence to an outdoor space.In this episode, I’ll be talking through how I design pergolas and arches for my clients, the practical considerations that go into choosing the right timber, and the subtle design decisions that make these structures feel intentional rather than just “added on”. Whether you’re looking to create shade, define a route, or add a focal point that draws the eye, timber structures can completely transform the character of a back garden.So settle in — and let’s explore how pergolas and arches can bring structure, style, and a touch of craftsmanship to your outdoor living space.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
