A Whole World on a Cabbage
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
A two-hour ferry ride from the North Devon coast lies a tiny island often described as Britain's very own Galápagos.
It's home to all sorts of wildlife, including a plant that grows nowhere else on Earth. And hidden among its leaves is a tiny beetle that only lives there too.
Join us as we head to Lundy to meet the people who spend their days counting cabbages, and discover why this little-known plant has become such an important conservation story.
