Grow your own fly trap, Isaac Newton’s apple and the allotments with a view

Gardeners' Corner

Available for over a year

David travels to the award winning Farmyard Nurseries in Carmarthenshire where Richard Bramley shows him the large collection of fly eating Sarracenia. Greg Sachno reveals how he’s created a small garden orchard on the windswept Ards Peninsula. It includes an apple unique to the local area called Ecklinville seedling and an apple genetically linked to the very one Isaac Newton sat under when he started thinking about gravity. On White Mountain, David visits Little Green Allotments, a diverse community of keen growers who are producing their own organic food. In studio Claire McNally joins David with seasonal inspiration and the all important answers to listeners’ gardening questions. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
