In this episode, the Beechgrove team show how to create the scents and flavours of a herb garden even if you don’t have much space.\n\nLizzie Schofield has been developing the programme’s herb garden this year, and this week she discusses and sows the herbs that are ideal for container and window box cultivation, perfect if you don’t have access to a larger area to plant in.\n\nHorticultural lecturer Ruth Vichos joins the gardening team at Beechgrove and demonstrates how to expand your plant collection without spending a penny by taking softwood cuttings. There is also a great idea about what to do with your grass cuttings and what biennials to sow that will help the pollinators in your area.
