Talented private gardeners sought
Volunteers are being sought for a new television programme which celebrates talented private gardeners

The makers of a new television programme that celebrates talented private gardeners are seeking volunteers. They're particularly keen on gardens notable, for instance, for tranquility, prize-winning vegetables or national plant collections.
Welcome to My Garden, to be shown on Sky 1 HD next year, will cover six regions, including Eire, and participants will visit each other's gardens, offer critiques and exchange cuttings. Telephone 020-7424 7645 or email gardens@outlineproductions.co.uk.
