BBC Radio Foyle is lucky to have a garden but at present
it's a sad, neglected space. So as communities, schools
and streets across the North West gear up to create Breathing
Places, Radio Foyle felt ashamed. It is now leading by example
and creating a Breathing Place with the help of Ivan Black
and his team from the Ulster Conservation Volunteers. Listen
to the reports below and browse the gallery of

Planting Wildflowers
In days gone by the fields of the North West were filled
with wildflowers - in recent years as farming methods have
changed the wildflowers have become a rarity. As we continue
to develop our graden as a Breathing Place, Deirdre got
out into the garden with Annie Mullan and planted some traditional
wildflowers.
Texter, Janet: I live in Drumahoe and numerous times yesterday I have cleared gratings blocked by bottles and cans and takeaway wrappers left by the public - not DoE. Janet. Ps, if they would take their rubbish home!
