Gardeners world (UK TV show)

[davisan1]

Gardeners world tonight, BBC2, 8.30-930 is partly from Kew about cacti and succulents and their care

"With the increasing popularity of houseplants, Nick Bailey spends the day at Kew exploring their cacti and succulent collection to find out more about how we should take care of them"

Let's hope the programme quality is better than of late.

Thanks for the tip.

I've stopped watching it but will switch on for this evening's show. I find that Monty Don regurgitates the same stuff year after year; which is ok if you haven't seen it before...

Just seen the piece from Kew. Just the 1 Lithops. Fairly basic stuff I thought but it might encourage some people to buy some plants, hopefully they may then become addicted........like us

It was pretty dull old stuff.

Better than the past 2 weeks.
Ok the old hands may have found the C&S material "boring" but as a newbie I found it reassuring. May have encouraged a few to try. My wife who knows nothing about my hobby found it interesting .... that may be a sign.

About 16 minutes into programme https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m ... -episode-8

about 8 minutes on national TV must be good but didn't notice any mention of BCSS (will have to watch it again on iPlayer)

I thought the C&S section fairly pedestrian, but expected nothing more and it wasn't bad. But I must admit I found far more interesting (not to mention relevant to today's big issues) the programme segments on plastic pots. So thanks again davisan1 for drawing this to our attention.

No mention of the society and they could have found a more worthy presenter for that section. Still better than nothing I suppose......
I’m pretty sure that the geography was a little off for Mammillaria geminispina? Or maybe I misheard what was said.
