Gardening TV Shows

[Cosmo and Dibs]

There hasn't been a decent gardening series on the box for ages.

Gardeners' World is good 70% of the time, but I hate the 'Aren't we wonderful and rich' segments where we get shown around someone's 50 acre garden. Lucky you. Plus, I'm not keen on the design bits from Joe.

And, the UK Gardens channel has ceased to be. They did say that they would be showing gardeing stuff on the UK Home channel, but I've not seen any yet. It is all Cash in The Attic.

You'd think that now we are coming into the main season there would be at least 1 series on the BBC- a public broadcaster- instead of endless dancing shows.

I thought Alys Fowler was due to have a series on air early this year- The Edible Garden.........?

My thoughts exactly, maybe we should complain !

Used to love watching Mr Hamilton on the garden channel and the big dig !

I was miffed last year when I found out that on sky+ we wouldnt have UKTV Gardens. I hadnt had sky tv for a couple of years and was realy looking forward to it.

As interest in all things growing gains - Television coverage seems to be lessening!
Glad I am not alone in this line of thought,

Any ideas when the Alys Fowler show starting?

You'd think there would be a decent amount of gardening shows around. Why are they fascinated with house buying shows in this recession? Inapproriate?!

Alys’s new series, The Edible Garden is due to be aired on Tuesday 16th March, on BBC 2.

I like the beechgrove garden - not on over winter - its on BBC1 scotland and had seen it on i-player then it vanished. Grew up watching it
