Hi All
How good a gardener do you think you are? Put down your trowels for a moment and pick up a pen for a chance to be crowned Gardener of the year 2009! The application process couldn't be more straightforward: simply download and print off the application form, fill it in, attach four pictures to reflect your gardening and return it all back to us before midnight on the 29th July.
There's only one certainty in gardening - every year is different from the last.
Hi All
Even though we've been off air for Wimbledon over the last couple of weeks, as always we've been working very hard in preparing an action packed show for next Friday.
I've got chickens - two lovely chooks that cluck and scratch! They have turned my garden from being a predictable suburban stretch to something far more exciting. I can't help but skip down every hour or so to look at them. They are called Gertrude and Alice B. after Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.
Hi all
With the summer here, this week Toby will be planning ahead for a spectacle later in the year and creating our very own prairie border at Greenacre. Toby is hoping to bring grasses to life by combining them with some tall herbaceous perennials including some that we've recycled from Berryfields. Prairie borders are easy to maintain and look fab in the autumn.
I've literally just got home from the NEC where I've been for the duration of Gardeners' World Live. I am absolutely shattered! I filmed for two days for the programme and then gave talks and master classes for a further three days, floating between the main celebrity theatre, the 'grow your own' stage and the small stage on the 'Taste of Greenacre' garden. It's a big venue with all the show gardens and a floral marquee so my legs are now thoroughly aching. In all it was a huge success.
