As the Snowdrops reach their peak David Maxwell heads to one of the biggest collections in the country at Altamont Gardens in County Carlow. The collection started by Corona North has been maintained and increased since she left Altamont to the state in 1999. David meets Robert Miller, a resident ‘Galanthophile’ who introduces him to both rare and run of mill snowdrops. In Wicklow, David visits Jimi Blake at his Hunting Brook garden where the early spring show is on and Jekka McVicar reveals her herb for February. Also on the programme Cherry Townsend is live in studio to answer questions and suggest some jobs for half term including planting summer bulbs. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
