Episode 24
Landscape gardening show. The Beechgrove team are on the road to Spey Bay to help build a garden full of wildlife themes at one of the most exposed sites they have ever worked on.
The Beechgrove team are not in the garden this week. They are all on the road to Spey Bay to help with the finishing touches to a very unusual community garden there.
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society in the tiny village of Spey Bay attracts over 60,000 visitors each year. The Society's site teeters right on the magnificent mouth of the Spey as it tumbles out to sea, in the best position to watch the dolphins. Also part of the site is a 19th century Ice House, the largest of its type in the UK. The Society want to create a welcoming garden around their site and around the Ice House for visitors and locals to enjoy and to take some shelter from the elements.
This is a seaside garden with a difference. Full of wildlife themes and images, it is also a real challenge as a garden as it is in one of the most exposed sites that we have ever come across. Beechgrove has assisted in the creation of over 200 community gardens since 1996.
