Gardeners World

New series starts tonight (Friday, BBC2 8.30pm) With Monty Don making a return and the programme coming from his Herefordshire garden. Also making a return is Rachel de Thame and completing this years team is Carol Klein and Joe Swift.

Will have a look in on that tonight

I have high hopes that Monty Don - plus excellent team - might rescue Gardener's World.
The past couple of seasons have been pretty dire overall. However, I would be more inclined to lay the blame at the door of the production team, rather than the unfortunate presenters.

 

look forward to watching it tonight. (or on demand!)

Thanks for the reminder Steve

 

Its a shame about Toby and Alys and about Greenacre too, I wonder what the BBC will do with that?

Could there be room in TV scheduling for Toby and Alys to host another gardening show...perhaps called "Greenacre"...what do you think?

Steve...

 

I really enjoyed their presenting style, and would love for them to revisit greenacre. Seems like such a waste to not use the land which was invested in over the last couple of years.

Greenacre always seemed like it was used for demonstration purposes, and was good for watching projects develop.

 

Wise words...maybe the producers should register and use gardening forums such as GC, or maybe come here in an official stance and ask gardeners what we would ALL like.

Steve...

 

I hope the compost bin is big enough for the both of them but its been a hard winter it does takes its toll not just on plants by the look of it.

And yet another garden , at least with Greenacre it was intresting to see it grow and the same with the garden Monty had with the pond they built , it would be nice to see how that has grown or not as I remember when they went back to Alans garden it looked a total mess , such a shame , I think Arthur Billets fruit garden is now a car park

Cheers Steve,

Watching it now[hr]
Gardeners World now have a link to this thread and an invitation to look round the forums.

 

I got a lot out of the last series. Not much from previous ones of late. Hopefully i will be able to reflect that this new series is instructive too.
