I have 25 years experience of running a horticultural nursery and certainly would not employ monty don. I don't believe he has much correct knowledge about gardening. He is also a boring, arrogant and smug presenter. Alys Fowler was excellent and abreath of young fresh air. Toby was very knowledgeable and was settling in well. Shame that they have been booted into touch. Thankfully Carol remains.
I have been reading everyones comments about GW, Monty & Toby over the last few months not knowing which way to think etc.I enjoyed Monty and his approach to gardening, however when he was poorly and they changed to Toby, I felt Toby was a good choice and looked forward to watching GW.I was a bit suprised at the "new garden" but hey, it was a new beginning!I am pleased Monty is back, but why can't Toby be there too,and what will happen to Greenacre and licence payers money? Perhaps they could have alternate programs each week. I will miss Toby and can't wait to see him gardening on TV again... just about to watch GW from last Friday... it's taken me this long to be sure enough to sit down and watch it!
I've just watched The Monty Don show ( formerly Gardeners' World ) I know he said apples don't need pruning every year, but clearly his haven't been touched in many years. Can anyone tell me why anyone needs 10 pairs of secateurs?
We are so disappointed to see that Toby and Alys are not back this series. We were looking forward to seeing developments in Greenacres too. Our favourite team was Toby, Alys and Joe as they really seemed to have genuine cameraderie and a great way of presenting gardening to novices and experts alike. So disappointing to see Rachel de Thame back. The whole thing was disappointing and GW was such a lovely start to the weekend- not sure we will be watching any more. BRING BACK TOBY AND ALYS!
I can't believe they've done this. I feel personally insulted by the idea of going back to proper gardening. I'd never watched GW until the week Toby began and it has been never miss TV for me. Suddenly I'm told this isn't proper gardening and isn't grown up! I'm sorry if it is childish to need advice on making the most of a suburban back garden.
