Visual artist and horticulturalist Mairi Gillies moved to the island of Lewis five years ago. A year after purchasing a new home on the island, a former school and schoolhouse, Mairi is ready to develop her garden - a large space in need of some TLC.
Although Mairi is an experienced grower, gardening on a Hebridean island with its unique weather is a new challenge for her. We follow her through the growing season as as she seeks advice and inspiration from other passionate gardeners and creates a unique growing space on a limited budget while keeping her carbon footprint as low as possible.
Mairi is ready to start planting her veg, she meets biodynamic gardener Kirsty Macdonald, who started an island garden from scratch 25 years ago, and artists Margaret Uttley and David Knight whose polytunnel houses their beloved bonsai collection.
