Still Game is a Scottish sitcom about the lives of a group of elderly residents of the fictional Craiglang estate in Glasgow. The show began airing in 2002 and has gained a cult following over the years. Season 2, episode 1 is titled "Gairden."

The episode begins with Jack and Victor, the show's two main characters, attempting to start a community garden in their local area. The two men are excited about the prospect of bringing some life into the otherwise dreary estate. However, they soon discover that their plans have been thwarted by a group of teenage vandals who have destroyed the area they had hoped to use for the garden.

Despite the setback, Jack and Victor are undeterred and they begin to search for a new location for their garden. They eventually find a small patch of land near the local community center, but they soon discover that the land is already being used by a group of young girls who are trying to learn how to skateboard.

Rather than give up on their garden, Jack and Victor decide to work together with the girls to create a shared space that can be enjoyed by everyone. They begin to work together, clearing the land, building raised beds, and planting seeds. As they work, they begin to forge a bond with the young girls and they start to see the benefits of intergenerational friendships.

Alongside the garden storyline, the episode also follows the escapades of other Craiglang residents. Navid, the local shopkeeper, is feeling down after being told he needs to take a cholesterol-reducing medication. When he learns that the medication will also lower his sex drive, he decides to try and find a herbal alternative.

Meanwhile, Winston, the show's resident schemer, has taken up birdwatching and is trying to convince the other residents to join him. However, when he tricks them into coming on a birdwatching trip, they soon realize that he has no idea what he's doing and they are forced to spend the day wandering around the countryside, getting lost and arguing with each other.

Overall, "Gairden" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the strength and resilience of the Craiglang community.
