Carole Baxter welcomes us to Episode 4 of  Beechgrove 2021 and introduces us to Mairi Rattray the Head Gardener who is helping her do some pruning and they are happy to have Brian Cunningham back in the garden after last weeks snow.

Mairi says there was no snow this week but it has been cold and dry and nice to see the sun is out today. 

She is a little worried they have had no rain and the sun makes for more watering in the greenhouses.
