    One day it might be reviled that half, maybe more, of these presenters are not real gardeners in the sense of get all muddy during winter.
    A lot are just scene setters at the Chelsea flower show, moving around the exhibit.

    Its a throw back to thrower, Percy the bloke that never took his jacket and tie off.

    Percy Thrower wore jackets and ties because he was on TV. Men did in those days. I shouldn't think he did when alone in his garden.

    Gardeners’ World is gradually changing, the BBC are pivoting away from the one main presenter format to several presenters, this is due to scandals in particular Hugh Edwards, they also want to move away from the pale, male and stale look, a better example of this, is Bargain Hunt when it started 20 odd years ago the main presenter David Dickinson and experts were 95% white male, it certainly doesn’t look like that now, I agree with all this as a programme should reflect who views the programmes. I am saying this as someone who is pale, male and very much stale.
