Gardening inspiration for autumn with David Maxwell and guests.

David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme including; gardening on the vertical, the cameras come to Yew Cottage Garden and a low maintenance border at Airfield estate.



How can you garden if you only have a yard? The answer is to garden on the vertical! This week, presenter David Maxwell chats to Ann Fitzsimmons about her new living wall.  She maintains it with a fork and spoon from the cutlery drawer and manages to grow both flowers and herbs. In Magherafelt David meets the youngest competitor in the Garden of the Year TV series on Channel 4. Just how has 28 year old Philip Stewart created a top class cottage garden while holding down a full time job?  Also on the programme, a return to Airfield Estate where Colm O’Driscoll says a simple low maintenance border can be created with just three plants and expert Claire McNally will be in studio to take questions live.
