Green-fingered Murdo Macdonald visits some of the country’s most important gardens to explore their design, plant-life, setting and history.

Murdo explores Benmore Botanic Garden near Dunoon in Argyll. He visits the Victorian fernery, the Tasmanian Ridge and the Chilean Rainforest Glade where he plants a monkey puzzle tree.

Dr Mark Newman of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, tells us about the important role of botanic gardens in conservation and education.

Tha gàirneilear sgileil, Murchadh Dòmhnallach, a’ tadhal air cuid de ghàrraidhean mòra na h-Alba, a’coimhead air an cruth, na tha fàs unnta agus an eachdraidh.

Sa phrògram seo tha Murchadh a’gabhail chuairt tro Ghàrradh Luibheanach na Beinne Mòire faisg air Dùn Omhain ann an Earra-Ghaidheal. Tha e a’faicinn a’chruinneachadh rainich, a thòisich san naoitheamh linn deug, agus chì e earrainn den ghàrradh an riochd Tasmania agus cuideachd ceò-choille Chile, far a bheil e fhèin a’cur craobh monkey-puzzle.

Innsidh an t-Oll. Mark Newman bho Ghàrradh Luibheanach Rìoghail Dhùn-Èidinn dhuinn cho cudromach sa tha gàrraidhean luibheanach a thaobh glèidhteachas agus foghlam.
