Ep39: A Good Ol' Chit-Chat With... Martin Dohrn

Martin Dohrn was on Gardeners' World 2025, episode 11 when he showed us around his fascinating garden of 60 species of bees. We were thrilled to have him join us for a Chit-Chat during which we learned a bit more about his award winning film My Garden of a Thousand Bees, some of the challenges of natural history film-making, and a bit of behind the scenes on how he captured his tiny subjects on camera. As well as hearing what would make it into Martin's dream garden, we also talk wildlife bridges, gentlemen's cycle clubs, dune slacks, de-insecticiding our gardens, loving wasps more, Martin's latest award-nominated project, and drinks made from artichokes.
