I notice its gone a bit quiet on comments in here, and maybe a number of
people - judging by the range of early churlish comments - bailed out
before the end of the first episode! But, particularly after last
night's show, I would suggest that Garden School has become virtually
essential gardening television.

Not only were many of last night's 'lessons' interesting, the visits to
various Italian gardens and Hidcote was an absolute joy on the eyes. I'm
suddenly quite envious of the students, and after a bumpy beginning I
would be astonished to hear nothing but positive experiences from them
by the time this all draws to a close.



Snow report: A couple of inches here, in north Bristol, overnight
Thursday - in fact quite late/early Friday morning. But fairly mild
temperatures saw it all disappear reasonably quickly too. The garden
looked stunning though, as following the snow fall it quickly cleared to
a cloudless blue morning sky - beautiful.
