Default Gardener's World

My wife is an avid Gardener and has been a fan of Gardener's World back to
Percy Thrower. This week she lost interest half way through and did other
things. The Gnome's Sanctuary finally drove her out!!!

What are other people's views as to who BBC are aiming the programme at? Not
the 'Grown up' gardener for sure.

I am a complete novice and found some of the show very useful. I've only
been watching the Gardener's World for 3 years (as long as I have had a
garden) and, for what it is worth, have found these last couple of
programmes of greater relevance to my needs that most of the previous
ones - which have been more about gardens than gardening in my view.

Later in this thread someone complains about the eyes and wire for
climbers article, well, that was a complete revelation for me. Yes,
really. But then that's because I haven't much of a clue apart from what
I read in books, on the internet and see on the TV and can buy in shops,
as I do not have anyone to learn from. I've been using wooden trellis up
until now but will be having a go with wires!

I didn't however like the gnome article.
