Sophie McKilligan is a gardener and Alotmenteer and a past TV Presenter on Beechgrove Garden.
Sophie in 2019 started studying for RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture via online learning.
Sophie has been sharing her Plot at Garthdee Allotments in Aberdeen with Beechgrove viewers since June 2019 but has been gardening on the allotment site for 6 years.
She is the youngest plot holder on her site.
Her early appearances featured Carole Baxter visiting Sophie to give her advice on Carrot Fly and varieties of sweetcorn and featured in 3 episodes in 2019.
At a time when more people were inspired to grow their own produce, Sophie's regular allotment based slot proved a popular addition to the long running gardening programme, during these unusual times.
Beechgrove during 2020 became increasing popular throughout the United Kingdom with more people tuning in to the repeated showings and the fresh approach to the gardening show.
The inclusion of younger gardeners like the addition of Sophie had us all reaching for the seed packets and I hope they continue to feature Sophie and her allotment.
Beechgrove in 2021 followed Sophie on her new role as part of the gardening team at Culzean Castle.
Sophie lives in the North East of Scotland with her very cute pug Mavis and Gruber the cat.
