Gardening Radio Shows

Many congrats on a brilliant piece of PR work for the site!
And, shame on your own father to say such a thing! I do hope that you have a reply to that one!

Did they contact you or was it vice-versa? Can we look forward to hearing you on Radio West soon?

Hi Spritz & David, I hope you both had a good Christmas - 16 guests David!! Your house must have been hectic. My parents had 6 this year - the most ever was 13.

We got in touch with the radio shows and have got a few more to come in the new year. I won't be on Radio West just yet but we're trying :o)

Hi peter hope you had a lovely christmas - how about the bbc - i would have thought bbc radio 2 would be interested - i might sound like an old foggie by saying this but i bet it is the most listened to station in garden centres! i know we always used to have it on in the garden centre i worked in many moons ago out back in the green houses whilst pricking out the summer bedding what a boring job that is! but then i was only 15 at the time i did switch it over to Kiss FM at given opportunity! lol

We listen mostly to BBC Radio 2 all day in the operating theatres where I work (but it doesn't distract us from "saving lives", LOL!). It would be a great source of publicity! You MUST let us know in advance, if you can, Peter, about up -and -coming broadcasts.Also, despite the number of guests, the kids and I did manage to escape to a room to watch our most fab, awaited-for programme - the Dr Who xmas special - in real broadcast time! And when we emerged, the dining room had been cleared and tidied, as if by magic!

I hope you had a great Christmas too, Majeekahead.

Well, it looks like Radio 2 is the gardener's choice :o) I'll keep you updated of future broadcasts, although the ones coming up are local radio. I think I'd be even more nervous going on national radio!

This reminds me of a time, 20 yrs ago, when I was interviewed live on BBC Radio Scotland on a local history topic. I was in a little box room in the Edinburgh studios and the presenter was actually miles away in Glasgow! When I got off the train at home, I learned that our whole town had been tuned in, even the shops had had their doors wide open and radios blaring. That was the point where my nerves got the better of me and I was SO embarrassed. Great fun, though.

we had a lovely christmas thanks peter, and yes please do let us know in advance of any broadcasts, i bet you will do fine! and we also enjoyed Doctor who on christmas day, but unfortunately no faries to clear the table ect... was left to me as usual! maybe i should have a word with Ron for next year and see if he can lend me some of his lol!
