The Insomniac Gardener and transforming an urban wasteland.
David visits the Insomniac Gardener aka Rosie Maye in County Meath and how a group of women have transformed an urban wasteland in north Belfast.
A childhood fantasy has become a reality for Rosie Maye who has spent 20 years transforming the three acres around her home near Slane in county Meath. Without any formal training Rosie aka The Insomniac Gardener on social media, has created a woodland garden, an ornamental meadow and a Mediterranean courtyard among the ruins of old farm buildings. In this week鈥檚 programme, David Maxwell finds out how she filled the space with year round colour without breaking the bank. Also on the programme, how a group of women in north Belfast have transformed unused parking spaces into an urban oasis and what鈥檚 going on at Ards allotments in National Gardening Week. All that and the experts will be taking questions live. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
