BBC Two - The Beechgrove Garden, 2017, Episode 16

The Beechgrove team are in Orkney, a place with famously tough growing conditions.

Gardening magazine. The Beechgrove team are in Orkney, a place with famously tough growing conditions, where they discover how much has been achieved by its gardeners.

The whole Beechgrove team are on the ferry to the Orkney Isles this week. Famously a place of only two seasons, 18 hours of light or 18 hours of dark, with constant winds but mild and with little or no frost.

The assumption always is that nothing much grows on Orkney in those conditions, but Jim, Carole and George find that is far from the case as they discover the determined gardeners of Orkney and how much they have achieved, to the extent that there is a thriving Orkney Garden Festival across the islands.

Jim, Carole and George host a Beechgrove Gardeners' question and answer session in Kirkwall and visit a host of good gardens on South Ronaldsay.

Gardening with Jim McColl, Carole Baxter, Chris Beardshaw and George Anderson.

Scotland's gardening series returns for another season to dig up pearls of wisdom from the past. With Jim McColl, Carole Baxter, Chris Beardshaw and George Anderson.
