Beechgrove Garden (1970) : 47x6

Gardening in a way that helps and reacts to the environment is the focus in this episode with Brian Cunningham and Lizzie Schofield. Brian continues to develop the new rain garden, an area that is being created as a response to last year’s wet summer conditions, and the pair get to work pruning. Lots of varieties in the garden flower early, so now is the time to cut them back to encourage new growth, and more colour, for next year. Lizzie is also planting up hanging baskets, and there’s a visit to a community garden in Dunfermline.
