Gardeners' Corner

Listen Later

At Mount Venus Nursery in the Dublin hills David Maxwell meets owner Oliver Schurmann whose enthusiasm for plants can be traced back to a local farmer giving him a handful of seeds. He still retains that childlike wonder as he tends to walled garden which blends seamlessly with the nursery full of both common and unusual plants.

David meets up with Senior Woodland Officer Alan McHaffie who explains how those within the city limits can play a part. Contact the programme on [email protected]
