Chef Neven Maguire’s kitchen garden, reliable roses and a last visit to Kilcoan

This week David Maxwell heads to the kitchen garden behind chef Neven Maguire’s restaurant in Blacklion, County Cavan. There his grower Kevin, produces micro-greens, herbs and edible flowers just a few steps away from the award winning restaurant and cookery school. Neven chats about his mission to inspire everyone to produce home grown gourmet food. On a last visit to Kilcoan gardens in Islandmagee, Cherry Townsend reflects on creating the garden there over the last 16 years and she picks some of her favourite roses that will be going with her. Also on the programme Colin Agnew joins David in studio to answer questions and wildlife expert Katy Bell suggests some critters we should be looking out for in our gardens this summer.
