    I saw it.

    IMO the person who won it (without naming names in case anybody hasn't watched it) was deserving. Although not perfect, he designed a 'real' garden and gave some thought to his planting and left space for things to grow. Plus he knew his plants inside out. Out of all of the contestants he's the one I would ask for advice because he really knows his stuff.

    The judges were right in that the winning garden would have looked better with some height at the back, but apart from that I thought it looked the better of the two.

        He was indeed a little star. I'm sure once he's got a bit more knowledge under his belt, he'll be fab :thumbsup:
