Definitely did not like the plastic wall plants - it will be faded in a couple of years. They could have put the humongous, v. expensive water feature on that wall. I do love Alan but agree that this programme is dwelling into people's personal lives too much. But I'll keep watching in case I can pick up any ideas coz I did like the pallet planter
I agree about some of the content....plastic wall and only lasting 5 yearsnot for me ......but it is a prog I shall watch again. Better than the cheating amd viciousmess of tv stuff like Eastenders.
Don't watch Eastenders either - not since the stealing of Kat's baby - couldn't bear that
The only soap I watch is the Archers - the pictures are better
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I tried the first series of this hoping for gardening content but I don't like most of the gardens they do and absolutely do not like all the maudlin stuff. Have to wonder how long such gardens will alst and who will maintain them because gardens are not static and need upkeep.
I really do wish he'd do another proper, intelligent and informative gardening series like How To Be a Gardener. It could be based on front gardens, gardening for therapy, gardening for pleasure, gardening for wildlife, gardening to eat, gardening in the community but please, not gardening for sentimentality.

Apparently Alan has done a garden in our village near Perranporth but I don't know when it is to be broadcast.
There's a high fence round a very small garden and the tops of lollipop bay trees can just be seen over the fence. the team wanted to bring the plants etc. through next door's garden but he wouldn't allow them to. They had to hire a crane and managed to break some windows in the garage in the process.
Seeing Monty in the flesh on July 19th when I go to his lecture so will report. That garden was crammed much too full for those tiny children who need space to grow - themselves as well as strawberries. I expect if they could tell us they would say they liked the old garden better. Tricycles come before wheelbarrows at that age. It is an advertising feature all the way through. I feel so guilty always watching the grief of the participants when you cannot help but this time I felt particularly bad as gardening was a great healer for me after my husband died and the team left nothing for the poor girl to do.

Not watched it yet, but they do tend to spend a lot more than we would on structures in the garden.
plastic plants because nothing grows on a north wall ???!!!! Really?

If you look at it logically, it's exploiting the victims' grief and the viewers' sympathy in order to advertise the products used.
Don't like it.

I watched one of those programmes on youtube once.
Not quite true, I watched about a quarter. More than enough
