Gardeners World 2009 Start date:

[seasprout]

Gardeners World will be back on our screens 3rd April for the Weekly episodes.

This is a week before Easter, last year, in 2008, It started 29th Feb.

The late start is believed to be due to cost constraints.

Before the weekly episodes start there will be 3 'specials', 2 of which were delayed from last year.

1st special is called Plant addicts (13 March) In which Carol Klein meets ordinary Gardeners and professional nurserymen who are obsessed by plants.

2nd special (20 March) is called 'no grounds for gardening' in which Joe Swift looks at gardening without a garden.

3rd special (27 March) Is called 'for peat's sake' in which Toby Buckland investigates the Peat industry.

Hope this info is of interest to you all

Cost constraints????

I'm sorry to those who like the new guy - but he still can't hold a candle to Monty...

[Nicos]

Fancy cutting costs on the nations biggest expanding hobby!..
oh- sorry- I forgot, must be cheaper to buy coverage of men running round on a piece of grass mucking about with a round ball????

Thanks for the dates seasprout- I was wondering!

Thanks for the update - had stopped watching while Monty was on as it was getting to be far too much about the bleeding long border (I DON'T CARE - I DON'T HAVE ONE!!!) but the new bloke is much better so I'll be continuing to watch again.
