Beechgrove: Episode 26 (S44EP26 BBC Scotland Thursday 29 September 2022)

A team of gardeners is on hand at Beechgrove for the final event of a fantastic growing season to provide more excellent guidance and to reflect on how their own gardens and the Beechgrove garden have performed.

More helpful advice is available from Carole Baxter, George Anderson, Calum Clunie, and Kirsty Wilson. Calum is completing his new garden at Beechgrove, Kirsty is planting bulbs for some wonderful spring colour, George will offer some great growing tips, and Carole will announce the winners of the giant tattie competition.

There will be a trip to East Lothian to see how Diana Yates’ garden and some of the seeds and plants she started earlier in the season have fared in this dry summer. There will also be helpful advice on numerous autumn and winter tasks that can be completed before Beechgrove returns the following year.

Season 44 Episode 26

The Beechgrove Garden has been on air since 1978 and remains a firm favourite with audiences in Scotland. It consistently outperforms what is being screened by BBC Network in the same slot. At the heart of the series is a 2.5 acre home garden, situated on a cold, inhospitable slope west of Aberdeen, deliberately chosen to reflect Scotland’s harsher climate. Horticultural advice in gardening magazines and on UK network gardening programmes is rarely suitable for most of the UK outside the South East of England. Beechgrove shares with its viewers the weekly challenge to work with the Scottish conditions to produce maximum yield of as many varieties as possible of fruit, flowers and vegetables.
