Charlie and Alan

Did anyone see it just now - Alan Titchmarsh strolling around Highgrove with Prince Charles.

Lovely - so lovely!

The Sewer Garden was amazing

[FionaH]

No was too busy nattering on here, would have liked to have seen that

[Two_Sheds]

missed it, had to take my cold to bed early

[piskieinboots]

It was good, hopefully it'll be repeated cos Snowdrop wanted to watch it but he was out boozing

Odd that he wanted to watch it cos he isn't a gardener as such, I guess he wants to keep an eye on the new Boss

I saw it Piskie and I thought it was wonderful. As you say, even the sewer garden looked good. They certainly have done a lot of work on it and the birdsong everywhere seemed to say they have got it just right.

I liked the garden but wasn't too keen on the programme. I did think they made a swift exit from the 'first stage' of the sewage reed bed, it looked a bit 'pongy' to me!
I'm sure we could all have such a beautiful garden if we had his money & a team of gardeners to take care of it & Alan looks too much as though he's lining up ready for his knighthood!
I did like the wildflowers & the stumpery but didn't like the guide telling everyone to not use phones or cameras ('no secateurs' was a good one though!), what do they think everyone is going to do take photos of Camilla hanging out her smalls to dry & sell them to the papers?!

That's nothing Sue; the rules when we were at the START festival the other week [at Clarence House] were a tad OTT - probably ok for a proper royal visit but a bit extreme for a festival.......where anyone could have bought a ticket....

Here's HRH's Clarence House veggie patch whilst we are on the subject....

Yes, I was expecting more.......crops?????

I've just watched most of it on iPlayer - there was a glitch, so it stopped - very inspiring I have to say. Lovely programme, and the Gardens would be well worth a visit, I reckon.

if for no other reason than to peer in through the Sun Dial Garden window and spot Charles hiding from 'us'

Yes!

Just managed to watch the rest of it. Lovely!

[scarey55]

Hmmmm, wonder if we (Grapes) can wangle a visit somehow

[Glutton4...]
