How to use colour with TJ Maher, the story of Portnoo Market Garden and making leafmould
Garden inspiration for autumn with David Maxwell and his expert guests, including a visit to Patthana garden and Barrie Quinn on the story of Portnoo Market Garden.
With autumn colour all around, David heads to an artist's garden in County Wicklow. TJ Maher has spent decades creating Patthana with his partner Simon. With an artist's eye, TJ paints with plants and particularly loves the rich, warm colours of autumn. As they explore the garden, David gets a masterclass in combining colours and discovers how they can influence the way we feel. Also on the programme, Barrie Quinn tells the story of Portnoo Market Garden, while Rosie Maye joins David in the studio to answer listeners' questions and explain why now is the perfect time to make leafmould and compost.
