Portstewart

Can weeds replicate the genes of the plants around them? How do you grow a perfect hot chilli? Are some gardeners naturally green-fingered? Kathy and her insightful team of gardeners are on the windswept coast of Portstewart in Northern Ireland. Ready to share their horticultural knowledge are self-proclaimed botanical geek James Wong, passionate plantsman Neil Porteous, and experienced garden designer Kirsty Wilson. Later, Kirsty visits Glenarm Castle to have a chat with Andrea and her prickly companion Precious about what we can do in our own gardens to keep hedgehogs safe.
