What can we expect from this episode

There is a lot to do and evaluate at Beechgrove Garden now that the scorching month of June is almost over and gardens in Scotland are in full swing.

One of Scotland’s most popular tourist destinations, Culzean Castle, is visited in order to learn more about the produce being grown in the grounds’ famous walled garden. Also included is some guidance from a former show participant who is now a member of the castle’s gardening staff.

While Beechgrove Garden’s Back to Basics provides more information for newcomers, Carole Baxter travels to a different garden—this time in Huntly.

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.
