SPRINGWATCH GARDENS with Bill Oddie
8pm Tuesday 17 June, BBC TWO

Bill Oddie invites you into his very own garden to reveal wildlife stories of drama, passion and surprise. We Brits are a nation of animal and garden lovers and in our unassuming gardens rather ordinary creatures are doing extraordinary things... and all right under our noses.

Wood mice produce huge families of up to 36 babies a year, gentle ladybirds deal savagely with garden pests and sleepy hedgehogs live dangerously in compost heaps. Bill offers garden tips, simple things that we can do for nature and uncovers the lengths that some people, including himself, will go to lure wildlife into these little green nature reserves.
