Ihave always found Carol Klein to be an inspirational and informative gardener, but the new series "Life in a Cottage Garden" takes her infectious professionalism to new heights - I ordered the book immediately and am reading the chapters that keep a pace with this great new series. It has been a good move to have Carol presenting from her own garden as she is so "hands-on" - may it continue on Gardeners World. Monty and Carol are are a formidable team and I have great expectations for the new series of GW.
How wonderful to see so much support for Carol's programme, being one of the best presenters on gardening programmes I am inspired by her drive and courage, climbing the tree whilst Neal held the ladder but there again the programme is about what Carol does in the garden, always enjoy her on Gardener's World always talks a lot of sence.
I do so agree with the accolades for Carol. At last a proper gardening programme again, come to think of it she has been involved in most of my other favourite programmes & snippets of GW.
Carol is an inspiration to us all, even my husband, who just gardens as when I direct and mows lawns! LOVES HER. I spend two afternoons in the garden this week thanks to Carol's inspiration, thankyou BBC.
I missed the programme on the night but watched it on iPlayer this week. I thoroughly enjoyed the progamme as a good winter clear up is such a motivational activity with instant results. Carol is such an enthusiastic presenter she made me want to go straight out the following day and do the same in my garden had it not been raining, of course.
snow finally gone, just very wet and windy today ... going to try and get some time in the garden this weekend, looking forward to being at home in daylight hours instead of leaving for work the dark, and coming home again in the dark - feel like a vampire! Even if just get some of it tidied, and get rid of the rubbish that's blown in, it'll be something!
Geoff was the best but Carol runs him a close second. Just what we need a good down to earth (sorry)programme about real gardening by someone who knows what she's talking about and who has bucket loads of enthusiasm. Power to your trowel carol. Look forward to the rest of the series.
very special gardening programme, chiefly because of the infectious enthusiasm of Carol. Have fallen love with her 2 adorable dogs and wondered if anyone could tell me their breed?
Love Carol's new gardening programme, just what we need to cheer a dull winter. Gardeners's World is not long enough to satisfy all tastes no matter who the presenter/s. Poor Toby and Alys suffered from the short-sighted TV programmers who expect one half hour to satisfy all ablilities, whereas past presenters have benefitted from a glut of programmes that took the pressure off expectations of GW content. What gardeners and viewers need is the same variety of choice foodies get with cookery and food related programmes then we wouldn't have such high expectations for our meagre half-hour.
