THE BEECHGROVE GARDENS
While I was employed with the Roots and Fruits organisation as a community worker and gardener, we applied to the BBC to ask them if we might appear in their Beechgrove Gardens ‘problem spot’ program.
The crew came to see our garden shortly after our application and we made it to a short list of six gardens. A few weeks later they advised us that we had been selected.
I must admit that I felt very proud. This garden had once been a derelict plot of land. With the help of just a few volunteers I had been able to develop it into something quite special.
The film crew turned up one fine sunny day in July while we were working with pupils from the local Tranent Primary School. The children took to the occasion and loved it just as much as I did.
A great day but quite nerve-racking, particularly when I was being interviewed. It was a bonus to get an insight into how these television programs are put together.
