The plants that give weeds a run for their money and taming a jungle in Limavady.
David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including growing at Broughgammon farm, the garden restoration at Drenagh Estate and the plants that can take on the weeds.
Can weeds be useful? This week David Maxwell meets Becky Cole at Broughgammon Farm near Ballycastle. She considers some weeds free food and uses others for their useful herbal properties. Down in Slane, County Meath, Rosie Maye has a selection of attractive plants that can give those problem weeds a run for the money - Lamium, Lady鈥檚 Mantle, Euphorbia robbiae are top of the list. Also on the programme, Helen Mark visits the historic Drenagh Estate in Limavady where the gardens are being tamed after decades as a jungle and the Chelsea designer who is creating a 鈥榟igh maintenance鈥� garden for spinal patients in Belfast.
