  • Can anyone tell me if my Ceonothus hedge will recover from last years severe weather. All the leaves have turned black and are falling off. The hedge looks very sad.
  • I can't believe Monty Don, and Rachel are coming back, have the BBC not heard the old saying you can never go back.
    All Gardeners World needs is Carole, and watch the viewing figures rise.
  • Daisydolittle: Perhaps is about the best I can offer at the moment, sorry, but don't give up yet. Watch out for new leaves breaking over the next few weeks.
  • I hear that Monty Don is back. Isn't he the guy who had us rushing out to buy Mediterranean and drought tolerant plants, most of which have since died due to the cold, damp British climate?
  • Gardeners world, won't be the same without Alys. Her quirky and unusual approach, brightened the programme up.
    Only Alys could make flower salads seem intersting. Her presentation made gardening more interesting. Can we have a repeat of her mini series please, complete with chickens.
  • I thought Toby and Alys were painful to watch. They are no doubt lovely people and great gardeners but their over scripted attempts at being natural and just happening to bump into each other or just happening to be talking about what the other was doing were like having your fingernails plucked out with rusty secateurs. Not sure about going back to Monty though - surely there's some fresh talent out there that could appeal to everyone and cover gardening for all budgets and sizes without talking to me like I'm back at play school.
  • Did not like Toby and Alys when they took over gardening world but as the series progressed I really enjoyed the programme very sad that they have been dropped. Also what has happened to the gardening they were creating . It was lovely what a waste of time and money (licence money).

    Although I like Monty Don , he seems to be calling the shots re: using his own garden. Bring back Toby and Alys in some programmes please
  • I'm gutted that Toby has been replaced - he was so approachable for a non-gardening expert to watch. Watch the viewing figures decline further.
  • I'm very disappointed as well.
    This evening i am watching Garderers Wold here at my home in The Netherlands.
    This year, after living in a very nice flat for 11 years, i will have a garden of my own. i was looking forward to Toby and Alys and get a lot of ideas from them. As many of you state, i do not dislike Monty, but truth is, the down to earth (haha) approach of Toby and Alys i like best.
    Anyway: BBC give them a new program and please on BBC1 or 2 so i shall be able to receive it here in Holland as well.
  • first episode of gardeners world was a total bore fest - please bring back Toby and Alys bbc
