The Kitchen Garden

27/08/2015

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Highlands and Islands

This week Pennie Latin travels over the 'Bealach na ba', the highest mountain pass in Britain, to visit a walled garden with a long history in this community. Applecross is the destination this week. Restaurant Manager of the 'Potting shed café', Jon Glover and gardener Jackie Lubbe, tell Pennie how they have toiled in this garden for years to restore it after it fell into disrepair following the 1st and 2nd world war. Jackie's partner and fellow gardener Peter shows Pennie around, cheerfully sharing his tales of his battle to grow against the elements. The locally fished squat lobsters are on the menu today, prepared by Jon who divides his time between the cafe and his fishing boat. There's a little treat for after too as Pennie brings some of Charlotte Flower chocolates from Perth. Nicola Singleton gets a peek into the life of Charlotte, a foraging chocolatier who uses her environment to flavour her chocs. Show less
