Heads, herbs and hail

On Gardeners’ Corner with David Maxwell this week; how gardening can help your mental health, the new herb garden at Glenarm and plant jargon explained.

We all know gardening is good for us, but why is it now a recognised therapy? David Maxwell speaks to Larne based horticultural therapist, Liz Curtis. David explores the freshly planted herb garden at Glenarm Castle Gardens and Amy Kelly explains some plant jargon like β€˜potting on’ and β€˜pricking out. Also on the programme, David will be joined live by Ann Fitsimmons and Maurice Parkinson to take listeners’ questions including, planting inspiration for a new bed and how to tackle cutworms, and presenter of the Scottish garden podcast and Northern Ireland native, Julianne Robertson, on taking Dahlia cuttings.
