Bunny in the Garden with...

18: Jimmy & Michaela Doherty


Listen Later

Today Bunny Guinness is in the garden with Jimmy and Michaela Doherty, who set up Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park, some 20 years ago. 

Jimmy and Michaela took on an almost derelict farm that had laid empty for 50 years, and it is now a humming, go to place with an ever increasing range of animals from Polar bears (in the worlds largest polar bear enclosure), to wolves, and rare breed pigs, cattle and sheep. 

Michaela’s grandmother was one of the first female students at Wisley. Her father was in the Ghurkas, and made beautiful gardens where ever he was sent. These influences are entrenched in Michaela’s DNA. She has created gorgeous gardens, and a beautiful natural looking landscape that surround and shelter the old Suffolk farm, bedding in the animals and buildings to the countryside in an idyllic fashion.

Bunny took Michaela and Jimmy a huge decorative outdoor thermometer - from The Worm that Turned - that is a thoroughly useful guide for any gardener.  https://www.worm.co.uk
