Gardeners’ Corner heads to County Donegal where David Maxwell and Brendan Little visit some of the gardens that make up the Donegal Garden Trail.  Glenveagh Castle gardens sit within a National Park.  Sean O Gaoithin gives a guided tour of the walled garden and the native woodland where exotic plants also find a home.  At Cluain na dTor, Seamus O’Donnell shows David and Brendan how to make use of the space below deciduous trees and how to make sure they can withstand the winds from the nearby Atlantic coastline. David also chats to Brendan about his recent cancer treatment and how he has found comfort in his Kerrykeel courtyard.

Another chance to hear David Maxwell’s visit to Brendan Little’s Donegal garden in the summer of 2019.  Among the treasure trove of stunning summer flowers are wildflower beds and beautiful buddleia buzzing with bumblebees and butterflies. There’ll be tips on growing exotic vegetables, making the most out of the damp and sheltered parts of your garden and expect the unexpected as Brendan shows David his little trick for feeding his plants and shrubs!  Also on the programme, Helen Mark finds out about how a sunflower field in Co Tyrone is helping to raise money for charity and David scales the rooftops as he does a spot of gardening in one of Belfast’s busiest hotels.
