Join David Maxwell in his own garden this bank holiday weekend along with expert Ann Fitzsimons. The pair chat about must have plants including Alchemilla mollis (Lady’s mantle) and Alliums. Also in the programme, David visits Ards allotments where Amy Kelly is growing strawberries and raspberries as well as some more unusual edibles. Is Portaferry the new Darjeeling? David heads to Ireland’s first tea plantation to find out if it’s possible to grow a ‘builder’s brew’ in the Northern Irish climate and organic grower Klaus Laitenberger gives his monthly update on sowing and growing including an introduction to the immortality plant.
