The Roof Garden at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary

Nicola Singleton visits a garden on the roof of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Gardener Diana Robertson shows us the plants that flourish in this type of environment.

Nicola Singleton’s going up in the world this week when she visits a garden on the roof of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. This green oasis was made for the Chelsea Flower Show then moved piece by piece to the hospital. Gardener Diana Robertson shows us the plants that flourish in this type of environment. The staff tell us the benefits the garden brings to their patients, including those who are wheeled out on their beds from the intensive care unit. We also have advice from the Beechgrove Garden on dealing with a flatworm infestation, and tips for getting your geraniums to look their best. Meanwhile in the kitchen, Graeme Pallister has some suggestions for seasonal herbs.
