They often show the little videos of people who live abroad. I thought that they hadn't received enough from people in the UK. I would rather have seen @GardenerSuze's video.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
@clematisdorset Sadly not. I sent it in about 18 months ago. It was an awkward shape so we added a brick circle in the centre and then I added evergreens throughout the space. Box, Irish yew, cotoneaster ,phormium, santolina,hedera Ice Cream. Next deciduous Corylus maxima purpurea ,Rosa Glauca, Muliti stemmed Amelanchier, Hypericum indorium Magical Universe all of these needed controlling! Perennials included Helianthus Lemon Queen all along the window side,Eyrngium, Allium cernuum, Erodium, Phlomis, Helianthemum Henfield Brilliant The grasses, Calamagrostis Overdam which was repeated each side if the circle, Stipa gigantea, Seslaria Autumnalis, Nasella, Molinia and Miscanthus, these greens calmed the space. Not all seen in the photo. The eye was drawn to the centre of the garden and the borders were deep so lots of plants could be added. A hot sunny space lovely in winter. Early spring it looked boring so I filled the gaps with sixty Tulip Ballerina each year. Then it became a garden for all seasons.
@Busy-Lizzie Thankyou it does look better the right way up. I think they might receive lots of videos. I have recently deleted mine from our computer. I looked at it again a month or so ago and I didn't like it. However the general gardening idea I think was a good one and it was that I wanted to put across.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
I seem to remember @BenCotto saying that he'd submitted a video, but with no luck. It makes you wonder what criteria they use, as looking the photos he posts on the forum, l would have thought there was enough of interest for them to use. The Irish gentleman's video seemed to end abruptly, but l don't recall him saying "thanks for looking" or something similar, and to be honest l'd drifted off a bit.
I did enjoy the visit to RHS Bridgewater and the hydrangea trials, but l'd rather have seen the Helenium one. Maybe they will show some other trials at a later date.
Thank you @GardenerSuze, that is kind of you to go to the trouble of listing your plants. I do enjoy learning about new plants and there are several there that I have never grown. I love you had a garden for all seasons - that would be the ideal in my mind! It looks as if the GW programme lost out by not airing your video.
Sorry to witness the demise of the forum. 😥😥😥😡😡😡I am Spartacus
@AnniD it does make you wonder really. I was starting to enjoy the garden in Ireland with ferns and then ithe clip just sort of stopped and moved on to the next segment....I agree, not very satisfactory!

Watching GW programmes from 2002 it's striking that they note then how much global warming had changed the plants over the previous 20 years. It's also interesting to see the obsession with grasses and prarie planting even then.
