Am i just miserable beggar from Amersham or is the 2008 "media female
personality" taking us round Chelsea grating on anyone else's' nerves?

i don't know who she is, some afternoon TV presenter, certainly not a
gardener of the keen kind and too easily made to do 'media' stuff such
as pace up and down (cue pacing music) waiting for the girls who give
out the cards, then running behind them giving girlish shouts of alarm
as they hurry on. Probably trying to get rid of her i should think!.
Sorry don't think she's the right personality/media presenter for the
programme, she even asked one entrant who had just received a bronze for
goodness sake, if he was pleased!! Not sure if the answer wasn't edited
a bit

Why not Penelope Keith or any other 'personality' gardener if that's
what is needed?

Think Andy Sturgeon comes over very self effacing and still pleased to
get a medal, but weird fence/hoops. Glad not to see the dreaded Dermuid.

Did anyone go and were the gardens as good or bad as they appear?

Afraid Mrs Lennox-Boyd is going to find the immaculate pond she built
needs to be cleared every day or it will get weed and floaty bits of
rubbish under those trees every few seconds. It will never look
immaculate after the first ten minutes! In our garden there would also
be blown in plastic pots, the wrapper from some chocolate, leaves, the
dogs ball would land in it and heavens know what other rubbish and
especially duck weed!!

Did like that huge stone ball in the sensory/dementia garden, very
tactile and unusually acceptable, don't know why.
Nobody commenting?
