GW on the move

:cl-p::cl-p:Spot on.

The person that can't learn...is dead!

 

Just like in life, we all like different things, different presenters, different ideas.

It won`t matter so much as long as they cater to all, beginners of course-it is a wonderful, magical place a garden and people of all ages and stages should be encouraged, but with something for those who already know how to mow a lawn or to pick up the leaves after clipping a hedge. I imagine we`ll get plenty of propagation tips if Toby Buckland has such a large garden to fill. Who can afford the amount of bought in plants they used in the last two series`?


I just hope it doesn`t become changing rooms with grass is all. GW is an institution, and for all my moaning I will, of course, still watch it and learn from it-I`m still a beginner, there`s so much I don`t know and want to find out about.

The Master Classes is a great idea, but I will miss Rachel de Thame if she isn`t on the show anymore, I quite liked her.

 

She was about the only presenter on there that I really liked...k-l

 

I agree with Loofah :gnthb:

 

That would be a real shame, but yes, can all too easily see that happening. Here's hoping the beeb will rise above the temptation for it to go that way though.

 

They've all ready done that! It was called Ground Force.

I quite liked GF and think it had quite an effect in getting me interested in gardening in the first place!

There is a pattern emerging and I think it involves a certain yorkshireman. (Wouldn`t you know it! :-))

 

There's that Irishman Diarmuid whathisname as well.

 

I was sad to see on the news that Mr Smith had died,he was a great presenter.previously head gardener at Harlow Car gardens Harrogate.Some of his programmes would be worth repeating.Joyce

 

That's a shame about Geoff Smith. I remember that HE was one of those that got me interested in the first place. A real character with his own style. Sad :(

 

I knew he once presented GW but was too young at the time so don`t remember him.

Geoff Hamilton is the first presenter I saw and it was his pure joy at just being in a garden that set me off.

 

Geoff Smiths philosophy:
"Put the brown end in the soil, the green end above it, and you're in with a much better chance." :D :D :D

 

Excellent quote, sounded a sensible guy.

 

That's what I do!:hehe::hehe:
