Taming a fig, the magic of moss and Glenmona reborn

This week David Maxwell heads through the Glens of Antrim to Glenmona House in Cushendun. The 19th century house, owned by the National Trust, is getting a new lease of life. David meets gardener, Una Quinn, who wants to make the grounds both flamboyant and practical. At Ann Fitzsimmon’s garden in Killinchy, she is taming two thugs; a fig tree that has got out of hand and bamboo that was threatening to come into the house. Also on the programme, what poison plants are lurking in your garden and should we give moss another chance? Claire Woods joins David in studio with seasonal inspiration and jobs for the week.
