Big Dreams was a good programme wasn't it? I always get more inspiration from seeing gardens more on the scale of my own than rolling acres.
I think the ability to listen to bonkers ideas and not flinch and gently steer people towards a more achievable and pleasing plan which is still very identifiable as their idea and space is the art of both consummate professional and gentleman.
Can't wait for the next series.
I see that MD is also interested to do a series looking at American gardens and spaces. That would be an excellent subject. Many Americans have a very different attitude to gardening / land management to us Brits and there is a huge range of climate, terrain and fauna to contend with - but there are some truly excellent gardens in the States.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Can't say I've ever noticed either. Monty can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned, and as for the adorable Nigel - I just love him. The interaction between Monty and Nigel is enough to tell you what a nice man he is. Who cares what he does with his arms, he has a good heart and knows his stuff, which is what I watch GW for in the first place. Rock on Monty!
