David Maxwell brings you gardening advice and inspiration for summer.

David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including holiday garden care, the sunken garden at Botanic and Knockbreda Community Garden.



Just a few days after the summer solstice and it’s all go in the garden. From growing fig trees in pots, to spooky webs in shrubs; David Maxwell takes questions from listeners in this week’s gardening programme.  Also on the show, with summer holidays on the horizon, Amy Kelly has tips on keeping the garden going when you’re gone.  David visits the Global Medicinal Garden and the sunken garden at Belfast’s Botanic gardens and as Knockbreda Community and Wildlife garden prepares to open, David meets some of the dedicated volunteers who have turned an unloved allotment site into a haven for people and wildlife.
