Channel 4's The Great Garden Revolution returns this summer, with Errol Reuben Fernandes, head of horticulture at the Horniman Museum and Gardens, making his co-presenting debut alongside designer Joel Bird and craftsman Bruce Kenneth. Together, the trio will use their expertise to transform under-utilised garden spaces, giving viewers a variety of tips, tricks and ideas they can immediately put into action. Errol Reuben Fernandes commented: “I am really looking forward to joining the team and being a part of this series. I hope to be able to engage and inspire through my own passion for plants and gardening, as well as champion ecological and sustainable gardening practices that support wildlife and are environmentally friendly. I want to demonstrate that we can garden with this approach and still create spaces that are, immersive, stimulating and beautiful for us too.” The 4 x 60' series is produced by Rumpus Media for Channel 4.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
