Gardeners' World extended to an hour long show

Posted by Landscape Juice on July 20, 2016 at 7:54am

This September, Gardeners’ World will be extended to hour-long episodes which will run from September until to the end of the series in late October.  It’s an exciting time and one that offers a great opportunity to expand the breadth of gardening we cover.

We are going to introduce a range of new strands with some new faces to sit alongside the familiar faces of  Monty, Joe, Carol and Rachel.

These strands will cover topics as diverse as tropical plants to city gardens and inspirational garden designers to the science of gardening.

We’ll spend time with head gardeners from some of the countries leading gardens and meet passionate amateurs.

    Whooosh. What's that, a breath of fresh air? About time; the tedious reliance on Monty Don as main presenter has been getting more and more tired. I wonder if Toby might be persuaded to come back? He and Joe Swift had a good level of banter when they presented together and I'd like to see them at the helm again.

"Can't say I've ever seen silver leaf in 22 yrs because I don't prune prunus in the winter. The only dease I've seen on cherry is a die back due to old age. With exception a fungal thing that was poor soil related and did recommend to customer not to…"
