Golden grasses, hedges for hogs and rose hip syrup
David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme including; a Killyleagh garden with golden grasses, wildlife friendly native hedging, and making rose hip syrup.
In this week鈥檚 programme David visits the Killyleagh garden that was never meant to be. Janie Metcalf wanted land around a house for horses, her late husband loved trees, but over the years she was bitten by the gardening bug and now has an enviable collection of plants that thrive on her thin dry soil. Among her favourites are the grasses which are stealing the autumn show. At Ballyrobert Cottage Garden, Maurice Parkinson explains how to improve native hedgerows for wildlife. Also on the programme, Cherry Townsend is taking questions and among her 鈥榡obs for the week鈥� is making rose hip syrup. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
