The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies. – Gertrude Jekyll.
Just thought I’d share this with you.

Gardeners World is worth watching if you like listening to the softly spoken Monty Don. He’s the lead presenter at the moment and makes a very relaxing gardening experience come to life from the TV. It’s described as ‘Gardening show packed with tips, advice and timely reminders from the experts’ and it is.
Nice Friday evening TV.
You can watch them online for a limited time via the iplayer or they’re repeated again at least once.
