Beechgrove starts later in March as, being further north, plants are usually later to start.
I love it. Packs in loads of info in easy format, does tests and trials, has good rapport between the presenters and lots of practical info including garden visits and helping viewers with problem corners. Sometimes a bit old fashioned for me with its bedding plants but bang on the money with everything else.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Beechgrove has been around for a very long time - it has been shown nationwide for a couple of years now.
obelixx - I couldn't agree with you more re your earlier post. I couldn't tell you anything that was shown or discussed in the programme the other night! Just a way of passing time really.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
aym280 good idea about joining National Trust as long as you get your money's worth it's great to visit some great gardens. Sissinghurst is on my list!
Hubby used to come visit some very elderly friends here in West Country and we used to pick a different route down and back each time so we could take in as many NT places as possible.
To add to aym's list I'd add Saltram House , near Plymouth, Barrington court and Tintinhull, and Uppark near Petersfield and Petworth near Chichester.
There's a nature reserve/reservoir a few miles away from us and we call it Brigadoon. Sometimes we find it on purpose, sometimes we find it by accident and more often than not, we don't find it at all.
Just a quick note - Beechgrove starts again at the end of March in Scotland and will be repeated on BBC2 nationwide on Sundays so set your recorders - - http://www.beechgrove.co.uk/ They do a downloadable factsheet too, every week.

Bough Beech Reservoir in Kent
It's quite small but worth a visit - If it's there that day!
