‘Flaming' June has arrived, and Beechgrove enters a time of colour, scent and productivity. Lizzie Schofield explores these features as she revisits the herb garden she revitalised the previous summer.Meanwhile, Ruth Vichos is in her 6x8 greenhouse checking the tomato plants. This year, Ruth is experimenting with a hydroponic system so that she can compare its yield with that of traditional growing methods. Ruth also checks on her vertical garden, an excellent solution for those with limited space, and there is a visit to a project in the Cairngorms that leverages the therapeutic benefits of gardening to support patients with dementia.
