A Little Bit of Gardening – Rabbit Proof

Posted on by

We have looked at many plants and kept an emphasis on coastal plants, due to our Kilkee location. However, there are many country areas within the location, with large, open spaces close to homes in these rural settings. For some of these homes, it is probably true to say that rabbits are the most serious source of plant damage and loss in the garden… So that is what I thought we could look at today, rabbit resistant plants….
Tune in at 7.30pm on Monday, or 5.30pm on Wednesday, to find out more. Or you can listen in on our webpage at rcb.ie at your own convenience….

A Little Bit of Gardening – Ornamental Grasses

Posted on by

Ornamental grasses have the combined attraction of elegant habit, foliage and seed heads. They are all easy to grow and can be planted individually or in groups for an immediate effect.
Mixed grasses planted for contrasting effect can make a spectacular collection, especially when inter-planted with tall herbaceous and perennial flowers. This is known as ‘Prairie Style Planting’.
So that is what I thought we could look at today, Ornamental Grasses and Prairie Style Planting…..

A Little Bit of Gardening – Rockeries and Stumperies.

Posted on by

When we are planning out our gardens, the choice of trees, shrubs and flowers are endless. There are plants for every position and we can soon fill our beds and borders and create environments that fill us with pride, and soothe and relax us.
But what about those awkward little nooks and corners, where the ground is too dry and unable to support even grass or too shady to work with.. These little pockets within our gardens give us a fantastic opportunity to try something a bit different, such as a Rockery or a Stumpery. So that is what we are looking at today, Rockeries and Stumperies..
Tune in at 7.30pm on Monday, or 5.30pm on Wednesday, to find out more. Or you can listen in on rcb.ie at your own convenience….
