After 33 years the Beechgrove Garden’s success still blooms

IT is a perennial hardy favourite that has inspired more than three decades of green-fingered enthusiasts and, as Beechgrove Garden prepares to return to our television screens for a new series next week, there are few signs of the nation’s affection waning.

BBC Scotland has reported a 17% rise in audience figures year-on-year from 2009 to 2010. The most recent series garnered 280,000 viewers, its rise in popularity being credited in part to the current age of financial austerity.
