I know how much some of us miss our garden programmes over winter, but dont despair as BBC are showing a new 10 part series called the Great British Garden Revival, which has most of the well known presenters. It is on 9 - 13 Dec. and then 6 - 10 Jan.

How can you lie there and think of England
When you don't even know who's in the team

    Hi all,

    Just a quick note to say there is a new gardening TV series starting on Monday 9 December, 7pm on BBC2, called the Great British Garden Revival. It runs for a week in December (Monday-Friday) and then returns for a week in January (Monday-Friday, 6-10 January, 7pm, BBC2). 

    It features Monty Don, Joe Swift, Carol Klein, Rachel de Thame, James Wong, Chris Beardshaw, Toby Buckland, Charlie Dimmock, Sarah Raven, Tom Hart Dyke, Christine Walkden, Alys Fowler, Diarmuid Gavin and Matt James. Each episode is themed around two different styles or aspects of gardening and there's footage from some beautiful gardens around the country, many of which are open to the public.  

    In the first episode, Monty is celebrating wildflowers from Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Joe Swift is sharing his tips for front gardens from an award-winning street in Tyne and Wear.

    There's also a new TV series called Grow, Make, Eat, about allotment growing, which is currently scheduled to start early next year.

    Hopefully these will help fill the gap until Gardeners' World and The Beechgrove Garden return.
