In this episode I chat with a young Irish lad from the emerald Isle, Sean Keane (or @thepollinatorgardener as he is known on Instagram) has some great advice on his passion of wild plants and the important role they play in our gardens for pollinators and other insects. His passion is obvious as we talk away with the odd intake of air...
