Speaking as someone with an autistic nephew I'm looking forward very much to this programme tonight...8 00pm Channel 4. Obviously not simply for that, the fact its another gardening show too

Speaking as someone who is on the spectrum I too will be watching to see how well these folks communicate with each other which can be a problem.
And speaking as someone who used to work with youngsters with profound autism I will be recording this
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I will be watching too
Mostly coz it is a gardening prog and I used to have red hair too 
me going to watch too like garden programmes
Just watched it and loved it.
Thanks downloading now, found it on iplayer
I loved it too - very refreshing
I wasn't sure about the camouflage netting 
but otherwise thought it was good 
I thought it was brilliant!!
The sleeping giant was a masterstroke...will be watching next week for sure.
I enjoyed it! Great to see those young people developing confidence - and what a great garden they made.
I was a little concerned about the camouflage netting - mainly from the safety angle with such small children, but when they get a bit bigger it'll be fine.
And great too to see what could be done on a limited budget without flashy sponsorship - Mr T take note!!!

I very much enjoyed watching the AG
it shows just how normal people with autism are & they can love gardening as well
not forgetting it`s a marvelous therapy for so many those with conditions or without.
