The world of television gardening
| 16:09 UK time, Thursday, 21 August 2008
Echoing Rosemary's blog of last week I can say that I am thrilled that Toby is to be our new lead presenter.
What is so wonderful about Gardeners' World is that, from time to time, the programme is refreshed by a new face with a new approach to gardening. I never got to work with Geoff, but worked with Alan and Monty - both fantastic and experienced gardeners, but with such different personalities. Now, I'm sure Toby will have his own individual approach to gardening. So it's going to be so exciting for us on the programme working with him and I'm really looking forward to it.
It's also a bit of a change for me for a few weeks as I get to work on Gardener of the Decade which is a 'champion of champions' challenge for former Gardener of the Year winners! It all looks like a lot of fun at the moment as we put the finishing touches to the challenges and, of course, they've got to have quite a degree of difficulty as our former winners are all formidable gardeners. I'm looking forward to meeting them when we film in a few weeks and you will be able to see the results later on in the year!
In the meantime, enjoy the Gardeners' World special programmes coming up and Gardeners' World will be returning to half hour programmes with Toby on the 12th September.
