Tulips with Sarah Raven, air plants and lawn care

Gardeners' Corner

Available for over a year

In the first gardening programme of November, presenter David Maxwell talks to his guests about planting tulips and he interviews to the queen of cut flowers Sarah Raven. With plenty still to do in the garden before winter, David gets some lawn care tips from Neil Porteous at Mount Stewart. Also on the programme, Conrad McCormack profiles air plants or Tillandsia – just how do you grow plants that don’t require any soil? And David’s expert guests Ann Fitzsimons and Reg Maxwell will be answering listeners’ questions on everything from pineapple lilies to snakeskin maples.
