When autumn arrives, the bright colours of summer fade. The garden is now a quieter place, although not silent, as a robin sings to mark its territory.

An evocative series telling the story of an Oxfordshire garden through time and the seasons, from its earliest creation to the challenges it faces in the 21st century. This is a fictional tale based on fact, set against a backdrop of specially recorded sounds.

When autumn arrives, the bright colours of summer fade. The garden is now a quieter place, although not silent, as a robin sings to mark its territory. Swallows, swifts and house martins leave the garden and migrate south, while the frogs and toads search for a suitable place to hibernate for the winter.

Narrated by Peter France

Wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson.
