@Helen P3 Watched GW this morning and really did enjoy it in fact I thought it better than some of the normal GW programmes. It kept your attention all the way through.
I can't agree that every garden has room for a tree unless its a small tree that is and unless the gardener is prepared to plant it away from his neighbours garden, apart from that I enjoyed the programme especially the school kids planting the tree named Adam with Tony Buckland.
Every garden may have enough space to plant a tree, that doesn't mean the garden will be suitable for the use the owners of the garden once a tree is planted. Many modern gardens are tiny, and a tree planted far enough from the boundary not to overhang adjoining properties could be a major inconvenience.

Was it Baranoss Rothschild who said " Every garden, no matter how small, must gave 4 acres of wilderness" ? All things are relative
I quite enjoyed this week's. Loved The Hidden Life of Trees too @didyw, absolutely fascinating. Just finishing Oak and Ash and Thorn by Peter Fiennes, which is more broadly about woods and their place in our lives.
That Judi Dench doc about trees a couple of years ago was excellent too.
" Monty is back at Longmeadow, getting stuck into more seasonal tasks.
Joe Swift heads to Houghton Lodge Gardens in Hampshire, renowned for its walled kitchen garden and heritage fruit collection.
We visit Rachel de Thame’s garden, where she has been experimenting with growing different and unusual cut flowers. She is joined by floral artist and designer Hazel Gardiner as they both create their own unique flower arrangements.
Plus lots of ideas and suggestions from our viewers' own gardens "
I love the idea of a walled garden Dick Strawbridge's looks great with the greenhouse built against one of the walls, I think if I had one I would die happy.
