Description
Produced by Dragonfly, experts in multi-rig documentaries, The Secret Life Of Our Gardens captures a charming insight into Britain’s relationship with its gardens and the furry friends that live within them. This 60-minute special documents nature-loving garden spies on their mission to capture high quality footage of the wildlife they share a postcode with.
A new breed of hobbyists are combining a love of gadgets and gizmos with a love of hedgehogs and badgers. It’s a growing craze inspired by nature documentaries and advances in camera technology that’s sweeping the country.
Every morning and night, amateur directors check the miniature cameras hidden in sheds and trees, set up their moth-traps, place food in their bug hotels and get their gardens ready to invite some of Britain’s best wildlife. When they check their footage, will they have captured the shot they’ve been hoping for?
The Secret Life Of Our Gardens explores the love for this hobby and documents first-hand the skill, money, dedication and patience it takes to capture footage that’s good enough to rival the professionals. Through the highs and lows of their passion, we watch how these characters track domestic wildlife with all the patience and technical precision of filming lions in the Serengeti.
