He has appeared in the TV series Living the Wildlife produced by Colin Stafford-Johnson, and in the recent Burren documentary broadcast on RTÉ in April 2021.

THEME
Gardening for Butterflies looks into how we should protect butterflies, as well as what we should be growing in our gardens to help them survive as a species. We also hope
to have a virtual tour of Jesmond’s garden (broadband permitting) to see his work in action.
This event is part of the National Biodiversity Week 2021
organised by Irish Environmental Network.
