television gardeners?

[mullein2]

who is your favourite television gardener and why?? mine is monty don..as i like his style of gardening and i watched his programme where he fetches food from his garden and cooks it...a very close second is diarmuid gavin..i dont like the gardens he designs with all those plastic balloons etc...but i think he is a genius..and i love watching him on the television..in a weird sort of way he inspires me....and hes nice on the eye to look at.." thats a bonus"

i like Matt James- The City Gardener, he has great ideas for very small gardens and is cute too!

Charlie Dimmock for me....can't stand her grating whiney voice but she has plenty of other good points. Just seen her on local TV and she's put on a bit of weight....niiiiiiiiiiice !!!!!

Somebody, throw a bucket of cold water over andy!!

Hi mullein, I like Monty too he seems like a really nice person & I love his laid back manner. He doesn't believe in over tidying a garden which is fine by me too.

Love Diarmuid - very fanciable!  Not all of his designs are over the top or whacky - saw him do a traditional garden & it was one of the loveliest I'd ever seen. 

Also very gorgeous is Cleve West & some of his designs are amazing but we don't see much of him on tv.  Neither do we see enough of Bob Flowerdew - I love to listen to him when he's on GQT on Sundays on Radio 4, he's hilariously funny.  The funniest comment I heard him make was when someone told a woman to prune her ground cover roses to 6 ins above the ground.  His advice was to prune them to 6ins below the ground!!  Obviously not his favourite plants!

Oh nearly forgot, Sven Wombwell is good too....oh & the lovely Chris Beardshaw....  In fact anyone who can use a garden spade is good for me!

I too like Charlie Dimmock - a good 'wholesome' woman !

Also find Simon Harrison-Knibbs quite funny on UKTV. I like his rather off-the wall ideas and his charming 'upper-class twit' type performances.

I like Charlie but I also like Kim Wilde. I think she has done really well to change her career and know so much about it.

I like Joe Swift and Gay Search.Joe Swift is so like his father I keep expecting Mrs.Bouquet to pop up from somewhere!
I like Alan Titchmarsh but think we are suffering from overload with him at times.I did meet him in Wyvales in Morden when we lived in London and he signed my book. A nice chap actually. But Monty Don does it for me....he could talk me about anything and not necessarily gardening!!!
