I’m wondering 🤔 how many of you are enjoying Carol Klein’s new Spring gardening series…..I never thought I would hear myself saying this,but I am learning so much more from her programmes than I do from Gardener’s world with Monty.(Although his relaxed manner of presenting is still attractive)
I do hope she does all the seasons.
Does anyone feel the same?
We are visiting Aberglasney Gardens in Carmarthenshire in August where Carol recorded a few programmes showing the seasonal changes.. It has a magnificent orchid house and a long Laburnum archway.
Will take some photos and write a blog after our visit.

She seems more relaxed in her own garden - not so much gesticulating and poetic transports! She is more down to earth.

I’ve missed it so far but will hope to catch it soon, thanks.

She has covered the Autumn, so hopefully she will do a Summer one.

I really like her programme too and she has such a natural manner as she explains things. She is very helpful and I learn something each time I watch.

I do as well,Chris...she must have help with that huge garden.

I am really looking forward to watching these programmes ... I refer to one of her books on propagating quite often ... such a helpful guide. I seem to have more success with cuttings now than I do with sowing seeds!

I haven't watched it yet but will get it on Catchup, I do like Carol, agree she is better when in her own garden, I find she gushes too much when presenting at a show..

I was never a big fan of Carol Klein, but, I’ve warmed to her over the last couple of years. I used to be such a big fan of Monty, but, I am finding him more and more detached from ‘ normal British gardeners’. I did enjoy his small gardens series several years ago however.
I do enjoy tuning in to the Beechgrove garden. I’ve watched it since I was a small child, it was a favourite of my maternal grandfather.

Do agree,K....Beechgrove is a favourite here especially when Chris Beardshaw is on....saying that, I know he's doing a show garden in Chelsea but there hasn't been a mention of him.I can't take too much of Joe Swift.
