Spring gardening inspiration with David Maxwell and expert guests including; Esker Farm Daffodils and herb expert Jekka McVicar. 

While damp weather is making it tricky to get in to the garden  there is still plenty to keep Dave and Jules Hardy busy at Esker Farm Daffodils. Since David’s last visit the county Tyrone couple have added a large garden area which shows how the daffodils can be grown in mixed borders. Amy Kelly kicks off the Great Gardeners’ Corner Grow Along by sowing Beetroot, Carrots and Sugar Snap Peas. In Dublin, Oliver Shurmann picks some seasonal highlights at Mount Venus nursery and friend of the programme Jekka McVicar joins David to chat about her new book ‘100 Herbs to Grow’.  Also on the show, Claire McNally is in studio to answer questions and suggest some garden jobs for the St Patrick’s weekend.  Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk.
