Thanks very much, Mr K - I'd have missed that if you hadn't said.  Now scheduled to record

Oh brill, thank you for the reminder

I got about a third of the way through before losing interest.  Nah, not for me.

As I've mentioned on Hello Forkers - it's about window dressing/set design - not gardening   although to be fair, I suppose that's in the title.

I like learning a bit about design too.  And not the usual green circles drawn on a piece of paper stuff, but more about what looks good with what, and what happens if you try an unusual combination.  

show gardens are all theatre.....but still get some great ideas from them

I really dislike Joe in GW, but he's much more pleasant to watch on this program.  Or maybe I've just got used to him?

Dislike all the references of "Is this theater?!", "Oh, the theater is amazing!", "The theater this and that!", etc.  Never put theater in my mind with gardening.  More visual Art.  A living sculpture?  Line, color, texture, value, space.  Emphasis, movement, balance, harmony, variety, contrast, etc.
