The Radio Foyle Garden

BBC Radio Foyle is lucky to have a garden but at present it's a sad, neglected space. So as communities, schools and streets across the North West gear up to create Breathing Places, Radio Foyle felt ashamed. It is now leading by example and creating a Breathing Place with the help of Ivan Black and his team from the Ulster Conservation Volunteers. Listen to the reports below and browse the gallery of photos.

As we continue to develop our graden as a Breathing Place, Deirdre got out into the garden with Annie Mullan and planted some traditional wildflowers.
