Gàrradh Phàdruig follows the progress of keen newbie gardener Peter MacQueen, as he sets about transforming his back garden in the heart of Glasgow from a messy, neglected disaster zone to productive, and aesthetically pleasing, outdoor space.

It’s nearing the end of the season, but there still lots going on in the urban garden. Joy Dunlop comes to visit and inspect the handiwork in the garden, and sample some homegrown treats. After minty cocktails, who knows, there might be a garden cèilidh. Peter plants bulbs for next spring and plans for the winter - he’s hoping to grow Brussels sprouts and other winter veg in the off season.

The series is filmed across a growing season, from January to October. Seòras the dog is with Peter all of the time - Westies love to get their paws dirty!
