Scotland Grows Show S3 E1: A Front Garden Flower Haven with Kim Light

Inspiring gardener Kim Light is well known on Instagram for her absolutely gorgeous cut flower garden, at @my_scottish_garden, but it is no regular cut flower garden that Kim has created in Wishaw, just outside Glasgow: she ripped up her traditional front garden to transform the space, and the results are just wonderful!

 

We explore Kim's favourite blooms, the evolution of her plant preferences, and her commitment to sustainable, chemical-free gardening. Kim shared invaluable tips for growing from seed in Scotland's challenging climate, from using grow lights to the importance of native perennials. Tune in to hear how gardening has not just flourished in her garden, but in her soul!
