Moving Mount Venus, Adam Frost's bulb of the month, and Culmore's new allotments get going
David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including a trip to the new Mount Venus nursery, Adam Frost's bulb of the month and new allotments get going in Culmore.
David meets up with Oliver Schurmann in the old abandoned quarry that's the new home for Mount Venus nursery. After 25 years in a walled garden, the new location is a magical place reclaimed by nature. Adam Frost chooses his bulb of the month (Crocus tommasinianus) and a dream comes true for some residents in Culmore near Derry as a brand new allotment site gets going. Also on the programme, Amy Kelly on getting your seeds going early and Colin Agnew joins David in studio to talk about creating a home for alpines and they answer listener questions.
