In Gardeners' Corner this week Helen visits a community garden group which is passionate about growing veg and broadcaster, designer and author Matthew Wilson reveals why gardening with the environment in mind is so important for both us and the wildlife that inhabit our gardens. Also in the programme Helen goes beyond the gothic gates at Downhill and finds a wonderful mix of semi-formal gardens and woodland merging together and Ann Fitzsimons is in studio with lots of ideas for creating spring in a basket. That's Gardeners' Corner this Saturday morning just after the nine o'clock news on BBC Radio Ulster.
