Who or what is the target audience?

A) The complete new person to gardening? In that case the celebrity is not
required, someone who can put things over in an interesting and
informative way. Someone who remembers that they too once knew nothing
about gardening, but doesn't talk down to the beginner.

B) Someone who has been gardening in their patch for years to keep it
'nice looking' but doesn't know the names of plants, other that it is a
'Rose', a 'Daffodil' (I think or is that the Tulip?) and would like to get
their fingers a little more dirty in the garden and experiment and be
encouraged? Then someone as in A) but a bit more of a 'household name' but
not the celebrity

C) The person who knows it all and the TV Programmes are just for them to
criticise?


The great unwashed who, it has been decided by the producers, want to be
entertained without engaging brain. You only have to look at what's on offer
every evening to see that. Personally I tend to only watch documentaries,
the news, and scientific programs but they seem to be getting fewer and more
dumbed down too.

The person in C does not exist, nobody knows everything about
gardening/plants. I've been gardening all my life but almost every week I
learn something new on here and elsewhere.
