Founder Evie Murray explains how the idea of the urban croft came about and the ways in which the local community have embraced the shared growing space.

Gardeners Tom and Katherine explain how they get mixed planting to work on the urban croft and why they like to encourage bees to the growing area.

In this week’s seasonal recipe, chef Carina Contini shows Gillian Russell how to make a redcurrant syrup, perfect for drizzling over a simple vanilla sponge … plus gardening tips for growing and cultivating redcurrants in your own garden.

Carole Baxter shows Helen Needham that it’s possible to grow your own citrus fruit, right here in Scotland.

Tom describes the idea behind their latest garden experiment – hot composting!
