The family adopted by bees, how to care for Camellias and what to grow under a hedge

David Maxwell presents the weekly gardening programme, including creating a wildlife friendly family garden, caring for Camellias and what to grow under a hedge.

What do you do if you鈥檙e adopted by bees? That was the Watson family鈥檚 question when the insects started making honeycomb in their compost bin. Now with two hives, mum Julietta is always thinking how she can make her County Down garden a haven for both her family and the wildlife on the doorstep. With Magnolias and Camellias blossoming across the country, David rejoins John Anderson for a woodland walk in the 35 acre Savill Garden near Windsor where the collection includes, Camellia 鈥� Cornish Snow Winton鈥� and the very popular Camellia 鈥楧onation鈥�. Also on the programme, Brendan Little joins David in studio to answer questions including what to plant under an established hedge. Contact the programme.
