For this new episode of the Extraordinary Garden, Tanguy invites us to take to the heights, with our heads above the clouds on the roof of the European continent. We're off to the Alps to discover its unique wildlife. The Alps, a magical world stretching 1200 kilometers, connecting eight countries and reaching heights of up to 4000 meters above sea level.

In this fascinating world, we'll encounter acrobatic animals that defy the void, such as the chamois and the ibex, which nearly disappeared in the early 1960s. We'll witness the majestic spectacle of the golden eagle, capable of flying hundreds of kilometers to find its food. We'll dive into the company of the astonishing red frogs. Throughout winter, males can cling to the backs of their females in lakes where the water barely reaches 2 degrees.

From the long dizzying mountains to snow-covered slopes, to glaciers in danger of disappearing, Tanguy will shed light on the strategies deployed by wildlife to survive the extreme conditions of the Alps.

For this new episode of the extraordinary garden, Tanguy takes us on a journey in the middle of the Indian Ocean, to the land of the Dodo, an animal now extinct, en route to Mauritius.

Located off the coast of Madagascar, Mauritius remained uninhabited until the 16th century. Protected from erosion by coral reefs, it boasts unique endemic fauna and flora found nowhere else in the world. Such as the Mauritius fody, a bird with incandescent red plumage, or the Mauritius gecko. This colorful lizard has the ability to move upside down. In the Mondrain reserve, the last native forest, lives the only endemic mammal of the island. The Mauritius flying fox, a bat that brings life to the forest. In the Ferney Valley lives the astonishing pink pigeon and the Mauritius kestrel. This small falcon is the emblem of the struggle led by Mauritians to preserve the island's extraordinary fauna. Off the Mauritian coast, there is a community of the largest predator on the planet, the sperm whale.

In recent decades, the island's inhabitants have made colossal efforts to help endemic species survive. Today, people have learned to love and preserve these very special species. Exceptional encounters and images!

Harchies: Just over 40 years ago, in 1976, one of the last coal mines closed: the Sartys pit, in Hensies. At the time of closure, thousands of tons of waste were left on the surface, while underground, it was like a real Swiss cheese: galleries were dug to depths of over 1000 meters to extract coal. As a consequence of this mining activity, the ground subsided in some places by several meters! Hundreds of hectares were filled with water, giving the area an inhospitable appearance and making the land unsuitable for agriculture. Paradoxically, this situation gave rise a few decades later to one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Wallonia: the Harchies - Hensies - Pommeroeul marshes. Nearly 550 hectares covered mostly with wetlands, ponds, mudflats, and reed beds. It is one of the largest natural refuges in the region for waterfowl, as well as for plants, insects, or amphibians... A very particular ecosystem that the Jardin Extraordinaire invites you to discover.

For this new episode of the Extraordinary Garden, Tanguy takes us on a journey to discover one of the most hostile regions on the planet, in the heart of the oldest desert in the world where no one can resist the extreme conditions. Let's head to the southwest of Africa, to Namibia, to explore the Namib Desert.

Unwelcoming landscapes, no habitat, absence of life forms... And yet, life is very much present in the Namib Desert! When you pay attention, the desert teems with life, its inhabitants are numerous. In this delicate balance, we encounter insects and reptiles, we can observe the remarkable way a beetle cools itself. We meet opportunistic squirrels and daring jackals. Not to mention the largest land animals such as elephants and graceful giraffes that have adapted to the particularly harsh living conditions of the region.

Fantastic images are captured, including from a hot air balloon, showcasing the oldest dunes in the world, over 65 million years old, and a land where everything seems frozen in time and drought.

For this new episode of "Our Extraordinary Garden," Tanguy takes us to inspect the connected birdhouses installed throughout Brussels and Wallonia. Not less than a hundred of these birdhouses have found their place among the most passionate of our viewers! We will visit Etienne just a few steps from the collegiate church of Nivelles. There, Etienne's sheep provide the wool, the main material used by the blue tits to build their nest. In Erquelinnes, Perrine attentively monitors the progress of the broods and the first feedings of the nestlings. In La Louvière, Marie-Paule keeps her eyes fixed on her connected birdhouse and is totally captivated by the strength of its occupants. In Mont-Saint-Guibert, Madame Chantal's class welcomes a birdhouse much to the delight of her young students. Tanguy will also take us to Auderghem where a great spotted woodpecker almost decimated an entire brood of blue tits. In Liège, in an urban setting, on the terrace of an apartment building, where Pitchoune has taken possession of the connected birdhouse installed by Pascal. The extraordinary adventure of the connected birdhouses of the Extraordinary Garden now forms a veritable network where information, advice, and beautiful images are shared to better understand and protect the birds of our regions!

For this new episode of "Our Extraordinary Garden," Tanguy invites us to step inside the CREAVES, centers dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and, after rehabilitation, releasing wildlife injured or sickened by human activity. This episode is unique in that it was crafted using footage captured by volunteers from the visited CREAVES centers.

In this special episode, the team of "Our Extraordinary Garden" visited three CREAVES centers, each with its own focus. In Temploux, thanks to large aviaries, they care for birds of prey and deer. In Hotton, in the province of Luxembourg, they tend to badgers and martens, while in Ottignies, the volunteers at the CREAVES center specialize in caring for hedgehogs.

Remember not to attempt to care for wild animals you may have found yourself. Did you know that in the Walloon region, it is strictly prohibited to keep wild animal species in your home, and only CREAVES centers are authorized to temporarily hold wild animals for the purpose of providing necessary care.

It is the oldest National Park on the planet. If the Park is named 'Yellowstone,' it is indeed because of the color of the rocks, yellow, which can be seen under the thick layer of snow. But the real wealth lies underground: intense volcanic activity, with the region hosting half of the world's geysers and hot springs. The result is a breathtaking landscape, dotted with fumaroles (more than 500), which was actually the main motivation for the protection of the area and its designation as a National Park.
