  • Thank you, Carol, for your latest series on the BBC. It was totally inspiring and has left a big hole in my Friday nights! Coming from South Devon and now living in Berkshire it is a joy to see such a beautiful Devon garden in the different seasons. I would love to visit or come on your morning course but as I work in a school I am unable to take time off in term time.

    Many thanks and best wishes.

  • Thank you Carol for being such an inspiration. Your programmes were/are wonderful. I've bought your books Life in a Cottage Garden, and Grow Your Own Garden, and they are inspirational too.
    My husband always used to look after the garden and when he died I was almost overwhelmed, not knowing what I was doing or how to keep it all going. I wish you'd made your programmes earlier but now, thanks to you, and the late, great Christopher Lloyd whose garden at Great Dixter is fabulous, I just feel grateful to have a garden and the chance to grow things.

    By the way, in Carol's book she says that her little dog Fleur, and Fleur's puppy, Fifi, who we saw in the tv series, are 'probably' Lakeland Terriers. They look as if they've found a very good home.
  • Hi Carol Klein,
    I wonder if it would be possible to visit your garden. I do not know any other way to contact you as I do not know twitter and blog and those things, I do e-mail and skype but no face book and things.
    I would love to visit your garden with my lovely friend,lovely just your husband Neil.
    I might ask to much to see your garden but that would be lovely.
    Kind Regards Kristina
  • Hi Carol just thought you would like to know that after watching your Cottage Garden the January February one. I went into my garden one very cold crisp morning as I was inspired to take out a very large Japenese anenome and after seeing you move enormous clumps I thought 'I can do that' and I did!It just lifted so easily out of the wet ground, after trying several times (admitedly in the better weather) So thank you for your pracitcal help
  • i loked tonite for carrol klein?
  • Carol's programme was a tonic! With a glass of red wine in hand I learned so much and forgot all about everything but plants and gardens - just what was needed. Thank-you Carol.
    BBC - can we have a DVD of this wonderful series PLEASE.
    Carol - if you were given the choice of all Helenium varieties which would you choose and what would you grow with them?
  • Carol Klein has really inspired us this week. She delivers such an honest programme. We we so glad her garden suffered in the winter just as ours has! It's a change to see a real gardener who gets stuck in, we cannot believe her age! She is the best gardening presenter we have ever seen.Well done Carol.
