Gardening magazine. Jim McColl shows how to make fruit pruning a simple job, while Carole Baxter and George Anderson help out with an inspirational community garden in the Borders.

In the Beechgrove Garden, this is the perfect time for fruit pruning, but for most people it is a complicated subject. Jim goes through the basics and with the phrase 'look twice, cut once' makes it a simple job.

Carole and George are helping out with the final stages of a community garden in the Borders. Nestled in a sheltered bay on the Solway Firth, Auchencairn has the best of the Scottish growing conditions. The area was known in the past for smuggling activities and is now a haven for artists. Carole and George help uncover buried treasure in this inspirational new garden.
