Gàrradh Phàdruig follows the progress of keen newbie gardener Peter MacQueen, as he sets about transforming his back garden in the heart of Glasgow from a messy, neglected disaster zone to productive - and aesthetically pleasing - outdoor space.

Spring is marching on, and there are plenty of jobs to do in the garden. Peter prepares the bed for planting out the brassicas and the struggle with snails begins! Peter pots some tomatoes, upcycles a discarded container to use as a planter for baby lettuce, sows carrot seeds in a bucket and plants a very ornate dwarf tree.

The series is filmed across a growing season, from January to October. Seòras the dog is with Peter all of the time - Westies love to get their paws dirty!
