Nicola Singleton helps you get the very best from your growing space, whatever shape or size it is, as we celebrate the seasonality through Scottish gardens and kitchens. Coming from a range of gardens across Scotland, Grow It is peppered with seasonal gardening advice and weekly masterclasses from a range of experts, together with antidotes to a variety of growing pains and advice for the city gardener along with the occasional foray into wild flowers, herbs and foods, for those with green and non-green fingers alike. And, to help you make the most of the wonderful home-grown produce that the Scottish growing season offers up, we'll also be dropping in on the kitchen garden with advice for grow-your-own enthusiasts and our team of chefs who have a selection of brilliant recipes as well as advice on what varieties will deliver you the best flavour in the kitchen.
