New TV programme features Tipperary-based woodlands business
Living Woodland, which is based in Tipperary, will feature on episode one of the shows third series
The TV series Home Grown returns to RTÉ One with a brand new third series celebrating Irish horticulture. Industry advocates and presenters Kitty Scully and Colm O'Driscoll once again travel the country in this popular series, searching for stories that highlight the very best in the Irish horticulture industry.
The series explores everything from innovative growing techniques to the extraordinary people shaping Ireland's green spaces, profiling small producers, and highlighting the generosity of community gardening for a good cause.
In episode one of the show's third series, Kitty meets Limerick brothers John and Colm Galvin of Living Woodlands, based in Tipperary, who are using an adaptive version of the internationally recognised Miyawaki Method of afforestation and ecosystem to build complex and biodiverse living woodlands.
This method allows them to establish urban biodiversity havens on unused green spaces and larger spaces, and in rural areas.
Home Grown series three returns to screens on RTÉ Óne at 8pm on March 5.
