Episode 26

All of the Beechgrove team are back in the garden and looking ahead. With a packed programme of seasonal jobs and expert advice, they advise on how to prepare your garden for autumn and winter, and set the stage for a flying start to the 2026 season.

George, Carole, Brian, Lizzie, Calum, Kirsty and Ruth share their top tips; from planting tulips to leaving parts of the garden untouched to support wildlife through the colder months. Discover what to do with autumn leaves and other timely tasks to keep your garden thriving.
George is planting hyacinths, while Carole announces the winner of this year’s vegetable plot competition — which presenter’s Beechgrove plot will she judge to be the best looking and most productive?

In a heartfelt moment, the team complete the replanting of a special area of Beechgrove as a heather garden, in memory of their late colleague Jim McColl — a touching tribute to close the 2025 season.
