The Garden - Episode 3

Logo for The Garden - Episode 3

An evocative series telling the story of an Oxfordshire garden through time and the seasons, from its earliest creation to the challenges it faces in the 21st century. This is a fictional tale based on fact, set against a backdrop of specially recorded sounds. In summer, the air is filled with sounds of hoverflies, bees, butterflies, beetles and dragonflies. The appearance of so many insects also provides food for other creatures, including hungry nestlings. Narrated by Peter France Wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson.
