Episode 2 trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCPTDf_35GE&t=19s

Hi there! Everyone on here has been so incredibly supportive of my new documentary series about food, craft and culture in Ireland. Episode 1 hit 10,000 views thanks to everyone here!!!

The second episode is about the Irish Seed Savers.

an environmental non-profit that does important work preserving the country’s native heirloom seeds, while making them available to the public. They are also caretakers of Ireland’s heritage apple tree collection, with over 180 rare varieties across their orchards.

Many of these indigenous trees were at serious risk of being lost forever, but through their incredible research and hands-on approach in which they worked directly with the public in communities across the country they have managed to catalogue and save these trees for future generations to benefit from.

Haha I’m under serious pressure! Editing, sound mixing, waiting on exports, checking for errors, writing out the captions for YouTube, making thumbnails that the algorithm will like, making social media snippets, and I have to do that for each 20 - 30 minute documentary!

You should feel very proud of your project. It’s a wonderfully positive and informative series that tells important stories, and we need more of them. Our past and our wisdom is important for the future. I thank you. Seriously.
