Having someone who knows little about gardening means that you will get
a program with many 'guests' ...


I half detect a contradiction in terms there. B-)

*IF* (big if) you can find a "celebrity" with a good enough grounding
across the board in horticulture to understand the expert guests then fair
enough. But it appears that most here want a programme that deals with
plants, the conditions they require and what sort of routine things should
be done in the garden at this time of year. Not what colour decking stain
is de rigueur, how to light your barbie or illuminate your brick and
paving slab sunken patio.
