The cocker spaniel of trees, growing community and the waterless pond

David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme including; a visit to Islandmagee community garden, a waterless pond and Tony鈥檚 tree of the month.

Some enjoy the solitude of gardening alone, for others it鈥檚 a social thing and that鈥檚 certainly the case at Islandmagee鈥檚 Community Garden. In this week鈥檚 programme, David Maxwell meets some of those who鈥檝e turned an overlooked corner into a haven for residents and wildlife. Also on the programme, David White chats about 鈥楾he Queen Elizabeth II Rose鈥 released in spring 2022 ahead of next week鈥檚 state funeral. Ann Fitzsimmons shows David her winter pond which might be waterless in early autumn but is still putting on a good show and Tony Kirkham on the 鈥渃ocker spaniel鈥 of a tree that鈥檚 his favourite for September.
