Exploring Secret Gardens

In Gardeners' Corner, David Maxwell visits a wildlife garden in Omagh and Helen Mark visits a secret woodland garden in Co. Antrim and a plant packed Co. Down garden.

David Maxwell visits a beautiful garden in Omagh, best described as heaven for wildlife. He is guided by owners Sir Bob and Lady Salisbury around the woodland areas, formal gardens, and ponds, all of which have encouraged native wildlife from birds to rabbits, otters and hedgehogs, just to name a few. Also in the programme, Helen Mark discovers a secret woodland garden in the hills of Cairncastle and enjoys the company of Moira Concannon and Lesley Simpson, who garden together at Balloo, Killinchy, where their plant-packed garden is open under the National Trust's Ulster Gardens Scheme.
