The Wild Gardener(2021)

Wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson returns to his native Ireland with an ambitious mission: to rewild his childhood garden and restore it as a sanctuary for native plants and animals. The series follows his hands-on journey as he dismantles years of conventional landscaping to create habitats that attract local wildlife. Drawing on his decades of experience filming nature documentaries, Stafford-Johnson applies ecological principles to his own backyard, documenting the gradual transformation and the creatures that arrive. The Wild Gardener combines practical gardening advice with genuine wildlife encounters, offering viewers both inspiration and insight into how small-scale rewilding can make a measurable difference. It's an intimate portrait of one man's effort to reconnect with his homeland while championing conservation through everyday action.
