Ravine, Neighbourly Gardening and an Outside Space to Remember

BBC Radio Ulster - Gardeners' Corner, Ravine, Neighbourly Gardening and an Outside Space to Remember

Gardening inspiration for summer with David Maxwell and guests.

David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including a visit to the Ravine project, Old Balloo House and Barn, and a garden to remember a lost love.



At the end of a week of record temperatures, David Maxwell chats to Ann Fitzsimmons about making our gardens more resilient.  David also visits the Ravine project at Knockbracken Healthcare Park which gives horticultural opportunities to young adults facing mental health difficulties. In Killinchy, Lesley Simpson and Moira Concannon have been gardening together as neighbours for decades – so just what makes this perfect partnership work?  And in Stoneyford, David meets Joy Gordon who has transformed her outside space into a place to remember her husband who was tragically killed in a car accident 2 years ago.
