After 30 years of filming the world’s most iconic creatures, Colin heads back to Ireland and a garden he spent his childhood summers mowing and spraying. But now he wants to transform this old orchard into a celebration of the native plants and animals now struggling to survive on these islands and inspire viewers to do the same.
