Gardeners' Corner

How to have the perfect lawn, using farm troughs in the garden and Jimi Blake’s summer borders


Listen Later

You don’t have to call yourself a gardener to want to have a perfect lawn and this week, David Maxwell has been finding out how to achieve the perfect sward from the experts at the Greenmount campus of the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise. In county Wicklow, a visit to Jimi Blake at his Hunting Brook Gardens provides inspiration for creative containers more usually found on a farm. Jimi also reveals some of his favourite Dahlias for 2024 and the value of lilies in the summer garden. In studio David will be joined by Brendan Little who will answer questions and reveal his garden highlights for the first week of August. Email the programme at [email protected]
