Mairi鈥檚 back at work in her island garden, embracing the joys and challenges of growing in the Hebrides and learning from other passionate growers along the way.
It鈥檚 Mairi Gillies鈥檚 second year growing in her garden on the island of Lewis. We follow her as she further develops the garden and seeks advice and inspiration from other enthusiastic growers.
Although Mairi is an experienced horticulturalist, gardening on a Hebridean island with its unique weather challenges was a new experience for her. Last year, we saw her start to develop her garden, a large space surrounding her new home, which was in need of some TLC. Mairi has a limited budget, and aims to keep her carbon footprint as low as possible.
Summer gales damage the garden but undeterred, she visits Chrissie Macleod鈥檚 beautiful flower garden on the Isle of Lewis and learns more about botanical illustration from accomplished artist Jacqui Pestell.
