Kylemore Abbey: Connemara’s answer to Kew Gardens and Growing 1000 edible plants
Manage episode 428641750 series 1301536
Kylemore Abbey in County Galway is an iconic image of Ireland. Built originally as a private home in the 19th century, it later became a Benedictine monastery, and today it attracts half a million visitors annually. Alongside the impressive granite castle sits a six acre Victorian walled garden which was once considered the ‘Kew Gardens’ of Connemara, boasting over 20 heated glasshouses. David Maxwell explores the garden with Head Gardener Anja Gohlke. Also on the programme, organic vegetable grower Klaus Laitenberger reveals his latest project to create a garden with 100 edible plants. David finds Klaus on a piece a land he had purchased on the wild Atlantic way near Achill Island in County Mayo. Oliver Shurmann reveals his perennial of the month, and David is joined in studio by gardener Mary Doris. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
