Synopsis
Nature writer Richard Mabey reflects on his lifelong relationship with science and the natural world.
He talks about his very first laboratory - his father's greenhouse, a magician's chamber, where as a nine-year-old he would conduct his own experiments with chemicals bought with his pocket money. His childhood adventures there led him on a path which was to inform the rest of his life exploring the natural environment.
