Soggy summers, preparing Mount Stewart for climate change and National Allotment Week

Seasonal gardening inspiration with David Maxwell and guests, including climate change preparations at Mount Stewart, National Allotment Week and this summer’s weather.

The weather is always unpredictable but with a warm and dry June and damp July, it’s making life challenging for gardeners. This week, David Maxwell will be joined by Cecilia Daly to chat about the reasons for the recent weather patterns and her predictions for the rest of summer. Also on the programme, the National Trust’s Mount Stewart teams up with Bristol University to predict the future for the garden with climate change modelling and ahead of National Allotment Week David visits a hidden allotment in Bangor and Helen Mark catches up with some of those involved in Derry’s Acorn Farm project which supports families to grow their own. Claire McNally will join David in studio to take questions. Email gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
