What a stonker of a red rose, with a beautiful perfume. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
The last time I set foot in that building, I was going to a Christmas party. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
It is, of course, the Dean Castle. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
I was with my Aunt Mary and my cousins. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
The family used to do some work for the estate - | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
that's why we got invited. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
That same Aunt Mary's oldest son was Robert. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
He was in the war. He was much older than me. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
And when he came back, he started | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
a market garden business - glasshouses and so on, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
about half a mile upstream from the Old Brig of Alloway, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Brig of Ayr, Brig O' Doon. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
His name was Robert Burns. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Think about it. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
In 1950, there was a Robert Burns gardening at Alloway. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
How's that for coincidence? | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
You will recognise this is a statue of a much more famous Robert Burns, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
our national bard. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
Do you know, it's said | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
that there are more statues around the world raised to this man | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
than anybody else on earth? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Remarkable. This one is located in the Kay Park, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
one of a number of parks | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
that my dear old dad helped to manage several years ago. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Decades ago. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
Well, many of you will have guessed | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
I'm talking about my old home town of Kilmarnock. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
We're involved specifically in a project that's bringing | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
a wee bit of direction and pride, as well as a garden, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
to the community of Knockinlaw. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Jim's old home town, Kilmarnock, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
is an industrial town in East Ayrshire | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
with a population of over 44,000, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
making it the second-largest town in Ayrshire. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Here, in the town centre, is the Laigh Kirk, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
a church originally built in the early 13th century, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
which became the heart of the town as it grew up around about it. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Jim was actually christened in this very church, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
but possibly not quite that long ago. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
This is the Knockinlaw area of Kilmarnock, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
where the BBC series The Scheme was filmed. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
At the end of the series, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
we saw the community campaigning to save their old community centre. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
'Last time on The Scheme, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
'one family, the Crees, were leading the fight to reopen the old community centre, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
'which their mum and dad had started, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
'and their family had been running as volunteers for two generations.' | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Despite the building eventually being torn down, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
this community never gave up. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
The story continues here, and is becoming much bigger and more positive | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
than saving an old, dilapidated building. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Around what will be a new state-of-the-art community centre, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
the people of Knockinlaw have gone one stage further. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
They're going to build a community garden to wrap around the building, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
to complement the building and welcome and involve everybody. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
It will be called The Central Gardens. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
However, there's still a lot of work to be done. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
All the community gardens this year are being supported | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
and Greenbelt Group. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Both of these groups are supporting community initiatives like this | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
throughout the whole of Scotland. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
I'm in the first part of the garden to be completed - | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
the patio, the paved area. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
It's looking beautiful. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
I have with me Janet and Marion Cree. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
There's always somebody that really drives these projects, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
and I think this is you two ladies. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
The Cree family have been involved with community initiatives for a long time? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Yes, from way back in 1970, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
when Marion's parents and other members of the community | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
kicked off Knockinlaw Community Association. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
They knocked the doors in of the old centre, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
got the Salvation Army to bring beds, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
and provided housing for | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
folk that didnae have a house | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
when there was severe flooding in the area. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
So this is our phase one, now, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
of two phases, possibly three. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
And we're getting really excited now. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
You must be so proud of yourselves. Marion, what's this going to mean across the community? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
It's going to mean quite a lot to the community, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
because we're going to have adults and children involved. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
When we get a centre, it's somewhere to go, cos there's nothing. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
The garden's going to give them experience how to do a garden. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-It's going to really make a difference? -A big difference, uh-huh. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
You can see here, this is definitely still work in progress. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
The hall is going here, and the kids' play area. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Marion and Alistair, you've been involved in the project right from the beginning, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
I believe congratulations are in order, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
because you've only recently got married? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
Uh-huh. We got married on the Saturday and we were out here on the Monday morning. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
Well, that's complete dedication. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
Why did you get involved in the first place? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
I got involved through friends and family and my wife here... | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Oh, that's nice to say your "wife"! | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
But it's mainly to see something good happening in the community. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
It will be a place where the children can come and play | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
and go to different clubs and activities, and things like that. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
But just as much for the elder people, as well, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
there's going to be lots of different activities and things. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
So it's important for all ages, really? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
It's going to help everybody in the community | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
to come together. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
Marion, what have you enjoyed so far? | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I've enjoyed working with everybody, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
getting out the house, seeing it actually come together | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
from where it started. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
It started as nothing, and then it came to this. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
-Aye, we've done well. -Aye. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
You enjoy the hard work? | 0:05:58 | 0:05:59 | |
I do so! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
-Getting your hands dirty, brilliant. -Getting in there! | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
I'm here with Lynn Harris, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
our veteran Beechgrove Garden designer. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
George, I'm not that old! | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
And don't look it, I have to say. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
This is a special project for you. Tell me why. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
It's hugely special, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
because this is where I was born and brought up. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
And I'm back to my roots. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
This is probably where my love of gardening started, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
helping my dad edge the lawn, plant daffy bulbs, | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
potatoes, that sort of thing. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
I suppose this is where it all started for me as a gardener. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
So no way you could refuse to be involved? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
In actual fact, from my bedroom window, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
over there, when I was a little girl, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:50 | |
I could look out and see the old community hall that used to be here. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
But there's no hall there at the moment. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Ah, but very shortly there will be. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
There'll be a brand, spanking new hall in the middle of the garden. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
This is a very unusual project for all of us, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
because we're putting the cart before the horse here. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
We're actually building the garden before we build the hall, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
because it's going to be a modular build. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
OK. So what have we got? | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Well, the community... This is a very multi-purpose hall. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
They wanted a multi-purpose space surrounding it. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
So we've got lots of different areas | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
for lots of different kinds of activities, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
surrounding what will be a brand-new community hall in the centre. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-Can we go and have a look? -I think we should. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
So here we are finally in the garden, George. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
This area here, all the way round the perimeter here, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
is going to be a massive shrub border. Lots of mature trees, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
loads of wildlife-friendly stuff in the garden, as well. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Coming round to this part, we've got a lawn, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
perfect for the kids. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Nice, well-drained lawn. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Leading on to an enormous patio! | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
You could do almost Shakespearian productions here. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
If they're having a wedding inside, they could have the photographs out here. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
And finally we come to the productive area, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
which is again a fair size. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
We've used this fantastic | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
resin-bound gravel, | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
which is really porous. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
-It's a product called Sudscape. -It's really good. -It's a fantastic surface. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
Quite free-draining? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
Very free-draining. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
So lots of raised beds here, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
lots of produce for all sections of the community | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
to be able to grow things. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:22 | |
There's a fair bit to do yet. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-I know. I'm off to get on with some work. -We'll see you later. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
Meanwhile, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Jim has been out and about, | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
looking at some extraordinary gardens. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Two of them. Extraordinary - why? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Because they're full of bedding plants. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
You know the problems you've had with bedding plants this year. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
The first one he went to see was Billy McIntosh. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Well, Mr Mac, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
we were advised to come and see this spectacle here. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Absolutely tremendous. How long have you been at this game? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
I used to help my father. He was a kind of show gardener. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
He used to grow a lot of vegetables in they days after the war, | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
and come on and develop 20 flowers on first show. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Sell most of them, mind you, to pubs. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-HE LAUGHS The sweet peas. -Did he really? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
He did, for his drink money. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
But it's remarkable, you know, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
how well this looks, | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
considering everybody's complaining about the weather. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Of course. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
I've saw it better, in better days, without this wind | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
and the rain we've had, but, eh... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
We've got to take it as it comes. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
It's quite a good-looking bit of lawn, but I'm surprised to see it there. How d'you cut it? | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
With great difficulty. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
I've got a sore back, every time I do it. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Cannae sort your back, nor your lawn, but I find | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
that it's pleasing, because it sets off... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Aye, it does. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:44 | |
Have you ever entered any competitions? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
Not really. An inspector came round and put my name in | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
for the local East Ayrshire Northwest area, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
and I happened to win it. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
I hadn't even entered it, but there you are. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
I'm going away to see another prize-winning garden - | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Harry Cassidy. Do you know him? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
He's my cousin's husband. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
That cannae be a coincidence? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Well, he's a dedicated gardener. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
He works hard. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
It's a lot of effort, I can assure you. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Well, this has to be | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Harry's award-winning garden. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
How are you? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
-Hello, Jim. Nice to see you. -Good to see you. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
How d'you do it?! | 0:10:30 | 0:10:31 | |
Everybody's moaning! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
So they may! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
The weather, it's shocking! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-It's terrible. -This is fantastic. So what awards have you won? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
I won the Kilmarnock Northwest Area for private houses. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
Uh-huh? Is that the first time? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
No. I won it in 2010. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Have you got any favourites? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Begonias. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
-I like begonias. -Aye. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
But you have a huge range. Do you grow all the stuff yourself? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Most of it from seed, yeah. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
With the exception of begonias, of course. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
I've got to buy them, and the trailing lobelia. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Do you work with plugs? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:06 | |
Plugs? Yeah. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
And when do you start the whole process? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Usually my plugs in April. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
First week in April, and I take it from there. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Just bring them on in the greenhouse, | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
then into the cold frames, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
and then, first week in June, plant out. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
And when the judges come here, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
do they look at front and back, as well? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Front and back, yeah, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
-I'd better have a look at the back then. -Aye. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Wow! | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
We're maybe coming to the end of the season, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
but you've still got a fantastic display! | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
I suppose it's getting the right plants first time, eh? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-Ah, well... -What are the most reliable? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Well, you cannae beat them, Jim. The fibrous-rooted begonias. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
They do well in this weather up here, the climate. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
But the petunias are really fantastic just now. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
I had these last year. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
These are really good - great results. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
Yes, but everywhere you turn, you've got them. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
They're still flowering their heads off. D'you do much dead heading? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Oh! -HE LAUGHS | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
-Maybe two hours a day. -As much as that? -Oh, aye. Anyway. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
At least two hours a day. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
The other thing that caught my eye was this aster here. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
It's a lovely purpley-blue. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
It's a bit big for my liking. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
On the packet, when I planted them, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-it was supposed to be dwarf... -But it's no' quite as dwarf? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
No, they look about 15 inches high. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
I wonder if it's been up there, looking for more light? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
It's possible. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
It's drawn it a wee bit. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
But just everywhere you turn, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
you're doing fantastically well. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
So, all is not lost, and you'll be back at it again next year? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-Oh, yeah. -More prizes? -Cannae wait. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
You'll see there's been a lot of progress at the site - | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
the plants coming in, which is absolutely great. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
And willing helpers, too. Jim and Linda, | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
you've been involved right from the beginning of the project, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
but also, Jim, a lot of family history here? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Yes, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
my mother and my father's 41 years | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
in the build that was here, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
before it was demolished. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Big difference, isn't it? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Big difference to see this that's coming on here, it's beautiful. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Linda, you're fairly familiar with this area, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
because you've been digging this over? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Aye, two or three times, we've dug it up. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
There's been more muck put on top of it, and more compost, and more muck. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-That's important. -That's it. -I mean, it's worth it. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
It's well worth it. The place is beautiful, actually. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
Absolutely gorgeous. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
And I believe you've been keeping the women in order? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Yes, I've been a whip-cracker. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Well, I'm going to be the whip-cracker now. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Perhaps you can bring in the rest of the plants, and Chloe, as well. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
-Right, that's lovely. -Coming? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
You'll see that there's a bit of a theme going on here. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
When you take a look at the fence, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
it's only a metre in height. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Now that's quite important, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
because we're by a road, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:24 | |
and that's all to do with being able to see when the cars | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
come to the junction. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
The plants are exactly the same. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
These are all fairly dwarf. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
You have things like the Hebes here. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
They're evergreen, which will give us interest right through the season. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
But lovely flower colour. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
The yak hybrids, they only grow to about a metre in height. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
And we have things like the euonymus Emerald Gaiety. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
So they'll stay small, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
and you'll find Carolyn has a theme with her plants, as well. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
The theme for this area here is plants with spikes on them. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
So they're great for a security aspect. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
As you go back from the front of the garden, | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
we can get a bit taller, so we have a tree here. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
This is a Crataegus, which had white flowers on it in the spring, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
and is going to be followed by these lovely | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
orangey-red fruits, as well. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Pyracantha is another great plant. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
Birds love it in the winter. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
This variety is Soleil d'Or, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
which will give us nice yellow berries. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
In front of here, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
mahonia. This is Charity. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
This has got yellow flowers in the winter. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Very highly scented, a lovely plant. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
At the front here, some mass-planting of Rosa rugosa. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
You can see it has pink flowers, just about to come out. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Large pink flowers, single blooms. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Very highly scented. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
Followed by these gorgeous hips at the back of them. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
Bright red, almost cherry-sized hips. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
What I think will be nice behind that, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
we have a very nice hole being dug. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
This is a Berberis atropurpurea. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
That will have dark, pinky foliage, | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
And in front of that, bright pink flowers. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
I think that'll have a nice colour combination to it. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-How are you getting on with the hole? -Eh, good. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
Good! | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
The bed which is going | 0:16:00 | 0:16:01 | |
to surround the lawn, | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
which is still to be laid, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
is a nice mixed planting. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
So it's got trees, shrubs and herbaceous. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
A lot of the plants in here are good for wildlife, too. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
Sorbus, or the mountain ash. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
This is Joseph Rock. It has yellow berries. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Those are less favoured by the birds, so they will last | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
a little bit longer. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
Buddleia, here, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
which has finished flowering, but will be brilliant for butterflies. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
But it doesn't matter that that's finished flowering, | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
because the perovskia, Blue Spire, is still to come. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
This is important. If you're planting for wildlife, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
you need to have continuity of colour and food. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
It's no good having feast and famine. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
In amongst this bed, | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
we've got Verbena bonariensis. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
It's normally much taller than this, | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
with purple flowers on the top, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
and butterflies absolutely adore that. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
And this is sprinkled through the bed. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Then, at the edge, there's Alchemilla mollis, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
which is going to be frothy, and it'll just foam over | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
the edge of the patio here. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Much more formal, at this side. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
This is going to be a hedge. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:02 | |
It's lavender Hidcote. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Bees will adore that. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
They're such good pollinators, | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
which is going to work really well, because there's lots of fruit, just next door. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Jean Brown, how are you? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
I'm well, thank you. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
You've been involved with this project from the beginning, almost? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Yes, I chair East Ayrshire North Communities Federation, | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
and the group are one of our members. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
We've been helping them in their aspiration | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
to have their community facility restored... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
-Right. -..With an add-on in the form of a garden. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Well, here is the garden. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
We've tried to make use of this south-facing wall. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Lesley talked of pollinating insects - we're make use of it here. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
We've put in espalier trees. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
They'll take up the space along the wall. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
They're not going to be huge and bulky. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
So, lots of trees in a small space. Great for that. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-Ideally suited to the space available? -Absolutely right. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
Then, in the corner, you recognise that one, don't you? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
-Victoria. -Good old Victoria plum. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-A great plum for the Clyde Valley, wasn't it? -Absolutely. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-We're not far from the Clyde Valley. -It does well in this area. -Absolutely. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
Along the back, loganberries. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Along the front, blackcurrants. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
And then, some raspberries. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
That's one of these new-ish varieties - that's Glen Ample. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
So that should do well here. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
A goosegog in the corner... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
-Absolutely great. -..for jelly. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
Plenty jams and jellies now for the community. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-No reason not to get on with it. -Right! | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
Margaret, I can see you've done this before. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
You're a bit of a gardener? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
I enjoy my garden, yes, Jim. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
And we are in the productive area, I suppose. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
All these beds will be filled up with fruit and vegetables... | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
-That's right. -..And herbs. -Yes. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
-Here we've got sage, parsley... -Parsley, chives. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
And the other troops out here, they've got rosemary and thyme... | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-Some thyme, yeah. -Strawberries. -Good for the soup. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
-You are in the same organisation as Jean? -That's right, yes. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
She's explained the outline of it, but tell me, | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
do you actually give money? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
No, we don't give money. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
I'm the project development person, | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
so I help develop the projects, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
and to find funders that will give them money for their projects. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-So you stay with them and see them through the project? -Yes. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
We're planting into lovely compost. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
-Yes. -This bag here, is something the local people can have, | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
to get recycled compost. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
They buy a bag for two quid. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
They can take it back and fill it as often as they like. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-We'd better get this job finished. -OK. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
We'll never get hame the nicht, otherwise. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
Now, our Georgie Boy has to wheech off pretty quickly, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
cos he's going down to Hillhead Primary School, | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
which is Lynn Harris' old school, by the way, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
and it's still standing. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
They have an absolute cracking little children's garden. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
We're going to meet the principal teacher, Emma Beattie. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
So, Emma, what's all this about? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
This is Hillhead Primary's | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Outdoor Learning Environment. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:48 | |
It's taken us three years to get to this stage that we're in today. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
A lot of hard work from our children, our staff and our parents | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
to create this learning environment for our children. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
But you've got an Eco flag? | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
We do, yes. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
Flying proudly, so well done. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
A lot of hard work for that. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
These are the folks that have been involved in the garden, is that right? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
-ALL: Yes. -All worked in here? -ALL: Yes. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
What did you do, Derrie? What did you sew? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-Peas and carrots. -And Morgan? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Peas and carrots. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
What was your bed? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
That one over there. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Everything looking OK? Kudzai, | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
any questions for me? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
How would you stop the peas from getting damaged | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
when it starts to rain? | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
Sometimes it's because they've finished cropping, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
other times, because they're too wet. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
So keep the ground hoed. Sarah? | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Is there any fruit and vegetables | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
that survive the winter? | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
Oh, yes. Carrots will survive the winter, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
but also turnips | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
and cabbage and sprouts and leeks. Do you like them? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
-Yes. -Good. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Why do you have big sunflowers and small sunflowers? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
We have them both here, haven't we? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
I think these are just dwarf sunflowers. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
If you remember the packet they were in, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
it will have told you they were dwarfs. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Charlotte, you've got a question? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
How tall can an apple tree get? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Because you have an apple tree there, | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
and worried you couldn't reach the fruit at the top. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
I think it will just grow up to about | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
nine feet, or two metres, or something like that. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-Do you all like working in the garden? -ALL: Yes. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
What do you like best? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
-Being outdoors? -ALL: Yeah. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
-Having your wellies on? -ALL: Yeah. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Lots of enthusiasm here. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Lots of youngsters starting off in gardening here, as well. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
But Jim's somewhere else. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
He's away with a younger group of people. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
More enthusiasm! | 0:21:31 | 0:21:32 | |
He's away with the Avenue Childcare Services, and he's with...? | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
ALL: Pauline Barbour. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
There you are. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
The Avenue Childcare Services is a local voluntary sector organisation, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
based in the Northwest area of Kilmarnock, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
providing quality care to children in East Ayrshire. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
We have two main services. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
There's the daycare of children aged zero to five, | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
and a sitter service, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
care of the children aged zero to 16. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
Today, we're in the nursery. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
The nursery provides childcare for children | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
aged six weeks to five years. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Now then, Pauline, you have a lot of tyres lying about here. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
What do you plan to do with them? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
Our plans for the tyres was to make | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
flower planters with them for the children. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
And vegetable planters, | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
so the children could get involved in planting. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Seeing the process of planting the seed, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
and seeing how it grows up to the final flower. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
Planting their vegetables. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
Seeing that they turn into the foods that they eat | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
during their snack time. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
And actually produce some for them to eat? | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Yes, we're hoping. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:35 | |
Well, you've made a good start, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
because you have a cracker of a greenhouse there. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Yes. We've just finished the greenhouse. It's took us a wee while. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Lots of staff and volunteers helping. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
These are amongst the best sunflowers I've seen this summer. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
I know. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
That's special thanks to Sonia, in the upstairs room. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
She's our resident gardener. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
We're here for a wee while. I want to help you get started. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
We'd better get the sleeves rolled up. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:57 | |
Aye, that's great. Thanks. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
The ploy here was to use | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
a range of small containers for small people, | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
so it's easy for them to reach into them, and so on. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
We've used planter bags that are readily available | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
off different companies. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
And we've done recycling by using old tyres. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
We've wired them together | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
and the wires are all inside, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
so the kids can't get caught with the wire. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
And we've put a bit of landscape fabric in the bottom, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
to prevent the material from going through. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
They are mobile - you can move them about to suit yourself. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
There's plenty space there. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Now here come the troops, | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
armed with a whole range of plants. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
At this time of the year, the planting has got to be limited. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
It's quite late, but we've tried a few herbs, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
so we're going to put in some sage and marjoram, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
and basil. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
'We have a few vegetable plants, and a few vegetable seeds to put in, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
'like broad beans, which will come up, and so on.' | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Is that nice? Look at that pretty face it's got. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
Isn't it? Add a bit of colour - some pansies. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
'Just for late colour, and it goes | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
'with the old sunflower theme, of course, in this wee garden. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
'I think that'll keep them going, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
'and hopefully it will encourage them to try and do a bit more.' | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Mucky! | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
I think you've done a fantastic job here, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
so let's have a big cheer for the gardeners. Yes? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Yes! Come on! Gie's a cheer! Come on! | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
They're not impressed! | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
But they have done a great job. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
A new race of gardeners here. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:32 | |
It's time I was away back to the other garden. See you later. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
THEY APPLAUD AND CHEER | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Meanwhile, back in the garden, the plants are going in. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
This is the area where it's a metre or under, and it looks great, doesn't it? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
And it is. It's now all about the finishing touches. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
So mulch is going down. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
It's a gorgeous colour, | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
and it will help suppress the weeds, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
which will make looking after this garden a little bit easier. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
Looking after the trees, we have good stakes in, and tree ties. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
That's really important, because it can get a bit windy here. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
Oh, I think George is getting a bit of a lesson here! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
How's it going, George? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
Wonderful, it's just like icing a cake. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
But it's super stuff. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
It's porous. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:40 | |
-Water goes right through this! -And it sets in, what, a few minutes? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
-It's resin-bonded, so... Yes. -I can't stop. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
-I think it's great. -Don't get your hands on there. -Don't stand on it! | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-I won't! -I really like the colour. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
And the grass really sets off a garden, doesn't it? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
-Doesn't it just? -We're standing on boards. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
We're on boards here, so we don't stand on that and hurt it. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
It's like when you decorate a room and you finally put the carpet back. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
It just finishes it off. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:03 | |
It looks fantastic! | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
Yeah. This paved area, I think, is absolutely beautiful. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
But a real feature... John and his team there | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
have got the arch going in, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
and that came from the old community hall, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
so that's beautiful, isn't it? | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
It's very significant. That's what this is all about. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
Rebuilding here. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
And these stones are going to be used for benches, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
which will be a real attractive feature... | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
And that came from the old community hall, as well. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Rosemarys. A bit of scent there. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
Nice sentinels, just at the entrance of that part of the garden. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
And then over here, rose beds. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
Lots of pretty things, and productive. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Yeah, there's some seeds that have been sewn. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
The children have really enjoyed planting that. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
It is a hive of activity. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
That's the point. There's things here for old and young. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
It's bringing everybody together. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
This is another fine example | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
how a community can get together, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
and if they're of a like mind, they can work wonders. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Because when we arrived a couple of days ago, apart from a bit of land-forming, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
there was nothing here - it was bare. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Just look what can be done | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
with a great pile of volunteers. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
This is a very special project for all sorts of reasons, | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
but also because it's slightly topsy-turvy. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
We've got a beautiful, useful garden created now. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
It's just waiting for that all-important community centre. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
That'll be great when it comes, too. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
Obviously, our play area for the children will go at the front of the garden. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
We've mocked that up to let them see what it will look like. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
But I think you'll enjoy that when it's in, won't you? | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
Yep! | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
I think so. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:48 | |
While the children are playing, the adults can have a well-earned rest | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
on this picnic table, which is wonderful. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
And, when they're working on the productive area here, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
they'll get their feet wonderfully dry, | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
because that SUDS material just lets all the water flow away. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
So it's really impressive stuff. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
Well, apart from the people | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
that brought it together, there's a whole host of others | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
who have given materials in kind and so on | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
to bring this to fruition. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
And it's been a great delight, being back in my home town. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
And speaking my own native language. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
Next week, we're back in the garden but until then, from all of us here | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
at the new Central Gardens in Knockinlaw...! | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
ALL: Bye! | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
