Murdo goes to 'The Impossible Garden', Inverewe, on the coast of Wester Ross near Poolewe. He finds out how the unique climate impacts on the plants they are able to grow, including rare Wollemi Pines and insect-eating plants in the Savage Garden. He’ll also find out more about the history of the garden from those who work there now.

Cluinnidh e cuideachd eachdraidh a’ghàrraidh, bhuapasan a tha ag obair ann an-diugh.
