## Resource

Join David Maxwell for an hour of gardening advice for summer. He'll be joined in studio by expert Ann Fitzsimons who has advice on how to save a fig tree and offers plant recommendations for wedding anniversary gifts. In County Down, just outside the village of Killyleagh, David visits an old walled garden full of organic fruit and veg. Ballytrim Pantry was started by Mollie Cunningham in her family’s large garden during lockdown and became a small business that celebrates the unbeatable taste of home-grown food. David revisits Jimi Blake’s Huntingbrook gardens to hear about his top five summer perennials. Also on the programme, Nicola Kenny visits Friends of the Field community garden in lower botanic gardens where she learns about the values of permaculture and the benefits of skill sharing.
