Exeter gardeners are being invited to apply for a chance to feature in a new TV wildlife programme.
Plimsoll Studios are looking for gardens across the UK to feature in a premium wildlife series for a public service broadcaster.
Filming will take place during late 2026 and 2027, with the series set to feature a variety of gardens in all shapes and sizes.
The programme is looking for gardens bursting with character, nature and life – whether big or small, wild or manicured, urban or rural, including shared allotments and community gardens.
Applicants will need something distinctive about their garden: an interesting story behind it, or something particularly special about its wildlife, plants, location or people.
Each episode will highlight one special garden, meeting the gardener behind it and revealing any secrets and stories it may have, featuring any wildlife that call it home.
Gardeners don’t need to be gardening or wildlife experts but just have a passion for their gardens and a curiosity about the wildlife on their doorstep.
Applicants are being asked to upload photos/videos of their garden, house and wildlife and give as much information as possible on the following:
- The garden: what makes it special - whether that’s its setting, history, design, standout features or a particular focus.
- The wildlife: what they see regularly, including any individuals or families they recognise, have watched grow up or feel a special connection with, as well as any more unusual or unexpected visitors.
- The applicant: a little about them and the people they share the garden with.
Those interested can apply online here - https://plimsollstudios.com/take-part/ or by emailing gardens@plimsollstudios.com
