A Little Bit of Gardening – Rabbit Proof

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

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…..
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….
