How to have happy houseplants, pruning gooseberries and apples and taking the work out of gardening
David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including how to care for houseplants, pruning gooseberries and apples and making gardening easier.
You don鈥檛 have to have a garden to enjoy plants and this week David Maxwell explores the plant world that prefers the indoor life. Roisin Horgan set up her houseplant business in east Belfast after years working in offices which lacked greenery. She reveals the best plants for different indoor locations including, the trailing Pothos or Parlour Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) for a dull hallway, the Calathea for areas of high humidity or the tree like Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) for bright locations. In his Templepatrick garden, Reg Maxwell is pruning gooseberries and apples and David visits Claire Barnett鈥檚 new north Antrim garden where she鈥檒l be taking part on the RSPB鈥檚 Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. Cherry Townsend joins David in studio with tips on making gardening easier and the best beans to grow in 2025. Email the programme - gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
