With daylight at a premium the work goes on in two stand-out gardens visited by Gardeners\\u2019 Corner this week. At Musgrave Park Hospital in South Belfast, the charity Horatio\\u2019s Garden is creating a garden for spinal injury patients designed by Chelsea gold medal winning designer Andy Sturgeon. Helen Mark meets the new head gardener there and chats to Andy about this \\u2018high maintenance\\u2019 space. At Glenarm Castle the Walled Garden has recently been named Historic Houses 2023 Garden of the Year. The gardeners there are forcing daffodils for flowers at Christmas, sowing seeds and overhauling the hot border. In studio David is joined by gardener Claire McNally and wildlife expert Katy Bell who will be offering some advice on wildlife in the winter garden.
