Chelsea Flower Show is not the place to use Nikki Chapman and it makes her appear vacuous which I don't think she is. Hope not anyway.
Keen gardeners and plants people will watch Chelsea Flower Show and any other gardening coverage in the hope of decent info and new ideas and I don't see why its presentation needs to be dumbed down to cater for people who use the TV as a baby or OAP sitter.
Surely, if nothing else, the pandemic has highlighted the importance of outside spaces and growing plants to keep people sane and healthy and improve communities. Far too important a subject to relegate to horticulturally unskilled, untrained, inexperienced presenters who don't know their roots from their shoots.

Chelsea FS is a celebration of horticulture and is huge fun. Monty does tend to approach it all as a guilty pleasure needing sackcloth and hair shirts.

It’s all very well wanting someone with horticultural knowledge etc ... but speaking live to camera whilst listening to the director talking to you through an earpiece is a skill few professional horticulturists have acquired.
