Beechgrove Garden

SYNOPSIS

Jim McColl shows how to prune a range of hedges, from the straightforward cotoneaster to the more challenging elevated pleached lime. Carole Baxter heads to Burnhervie near Inverurie to see Ian Alexander's Birken Cottage garden, and George Anderson visits Alison Ramcharran in Coldingham, Berwickshire, to help her plant a living windbreak with native shrubs and trees to withstand sea and salt spray.
