Beechgrove Garden: Episode 7 airs Thursday 18 May 2023 on BBC Scotland
In preparation for summer, Beechgrove Garden is planting flowers that attract pollinators and tending to their dahlias. Kirsty Wilson and Lizzie Schofield will be back with their regular half-hour of helpful gardening advice, which will undoubtedly include an update on the progress of the dahlia tubers planted in April and instructions on how to take cuttings from these tubers in order to grow your own free plants.
Kirsty has begun sowing a bed around the viburnum she relocated last autumn, and it will soon be home to a variety of plants that are great for pollinators. George Anderson has arrived in Joppa to begin transforming the outdoor space of a brand-new home for a young family.
Season 45 Episode 7
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.
