Coverage of Chelsea
What did everyone think of last night's tv programme? As always, we became
very irritated with the number of plants whose name didn't appear onscreen, though that improved when Carol Klein was in the marquee. But why oh why do they, every year, take us away from Chelsea and off to other locations? Chelsea is Chelsea. All those other places they show could be the subject of another series of gardening programmes. I have no particular dislike of Lawrence L-B but can't help wondering why he, an interior designer, has been recruited to present a programme on Chelsea. Alan Titchmarsh did his usual professional job - I think he's an excellent presenter but I did not welcome the mercifully brief appearance of Diarmuid Gavin. I don't like his style, I don't think he's a gardener and I find him incomprehensible. We thought the Chinese garden was really beautiful. We loved that mossy wall effect, though I've just read the feng shui is 'bad' - can't say I really understand all that! While I do think the presentation of Chelsea has improved immeasurably over the past couple of years, I really don't understand why the programme makers are frightened of making it just about Chelsea and of putting plant names on screen. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) |
