Weekend Stuff: gardening with Kate Hillier

From Afternoons, 3:24 pm today

Gardening consultant Kate Hillier has some ideas about getting everything in ship shape before Christmas and the judging eyes of visiting relatives.

The garden of listener Helen's father who died a couple of years ago, just before his 89th birthday. It was a montser patch - the equivalent of a three bedroom house, Helen writes, and after his death became a sea of weeds. She has since resurrected the garden into a "riot of colour", and her mum is able to take flowers to enjoy inside.
