Must-have ground cover plants, outdoor exotics in Slane and Adam Frost鈥檚 bulb of the month

David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including a visit to Horatio鈥檚 Garden in south Belfast, outdoor exotics in county Meath and Adam Frost鈥檚 bulb of the month.

A garden that has to look good in every season is the Horatio鈥檚 Garden at Musgrave Park Hospital in south Belfast. Two years after it was planted up, David Maxwell chats to head gardener Matthew Lee about how the garden continues to change, and about the great groundcover plants that help keep weeding to a minimum. Adam Frost begins his new 鈥楤ulb of the month鈥� series with the common snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis. Ahead of the Big Garden Birdwatch, the RSPB鈥檚 Claire Barnett visits David鈥檚 garden to find out what鈥檚 coming to his feeders. In studio, gardener Anna Hudson, brings some seasonal highlights from the Ballywalter and answers questions live. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
