Lizzie Schofield is a Gardener, presenter and TV Gardener on Beechgrove and prior to this she was a Primary School Teacher.
She joined Beechgrove, BBC Scotland flagship Gardening Programme as a fulltime presenter from Beechgrove Garden 2023.
The story of how Lizzie ended up as a Presenter on Beechgrove started when the cottage Lizzie and her Husband Malcolm had bought on the coast at Buckie, Moray had hardly no garden.
About 7 years ago they bought the plot of land to the side which included a very steep bank.
They were not gardeners and learnt as they went along from reading books and magazines and watching gardening programmes.
They added steps and terraces and planted the garden up from scratch and added a pergola and filled the garden with colour making a beautiful garden.
Lizzie and her husband Malcom beautiful coastal garden in Buckie won the Judges' and People's Awards in the 2020 Gardener's World Magazine Garden of the Year contest.
Their hillside garden at Cuthbert's Brae overlooking the Moray Coast is also open for the Scotland's Gardens Scheme whom Lizzie is also an Ambassador for.

Lizzie began as a Remote Guest Presenter in Beechgrove 2022 alongside Diana Yates and Erin & Joe Armstrong who both returned for Beechgrove Garden 2023.

In 2024 Beechgrove had a complete change of format for its Winter Schedule with a whole new programme Craft Christmas at Beechgrove.
Lizzie Schofield featured in each one of the 4 episodes and was in her element from making decorations from plants to crafting with children.
The programme was hosted by Jean Johansson as well as the usual Beechgrove Presenters plus special guests.
Lizzie Schofield accent has caused a lot of debate with some people saying she has a slight Australian accent and others a combination of an English and North East Scottish accent.
As Lizzie keeps her life quite private, the accent speculation will just have to continue as little is known about her background.
Lizzie lives with Husband Malcom and their 2 children plus Klaus the dog in Buckie on the Moray Coast, Scotland.
