    That question has been asked, and answered, earlier on this thread (and on several other threads).....

    I think the iPad app that Joe was using is called art studio.

    Joe was simply using his tablet to draw a freehand sketch. There was no sophisticated garden design software involved. Alan Titchmarsh used to so something very similar, using a sketchpad and pencils.

    Am I the only one here who doesn't worship the cult of Geoff Hamilton? I always found him patronising and dull.

  • Just want to echo everything Yarrow said. Really summed up my feelings. image

    Basically us gardeners want experts that have time to show their expertise and enthuse the nation.

    Sorry Calendula, Geoff hamilton "patronising and dull"?  I've just watched one of his DVDs and found him practical, engaging, clear and enthusiastic.  The programmes look a bit dated now but he knocks any of the current lot into a cocked hat as far as his ability to communicate and his understanding of what ordinary gardeners are interested in.

    Not sure what at 'ordinary gardener' is Tall Paul - they seem to me to be a remarkably diverse species - that's probably at the root of the difficulty - trying to meet such different needs in one 30 minute programme a week. image
