Didn't think Carol Klein did too bad a job, though the people that
inspect the gardens, at least in Bucks., are not fearsome creatures
shown on the programme!

More programmes showing NGS gardens might encourage others to open their
gardens, it might inspire people to jazz up their own plots as often the
gardens are on a more intimate scale than the great public acres. It
might also generate visitors to the gardens all in a good cause.

Didn't see the prog but I agree with you about NGS needing more publicity
they have not done as well since Geoff Hamilton died, he was always a
staunch supporter.
Also agree that the vetters are not at all fearsome! ours down here are more
concerned with loos than gardens!
Anyone reading this who has never opened their gardens its great fun and if
you group together if your gardens are small then it becomes quite a fun
social thing (as well as safety in numbers!)
