Ethical gardener to head Gardeners World

Toby Buckland has been chosen to front Gardeners World. He will join Carol Klein and Joe Swift (both Garden News writers) in September. He’s an organic gardener and his ethical garden at BBC Gardeners World Live won gold this year. All really good news for green gardening. With the team firmly behind the idea of creating a new direction in gardening it seems we’re back on the right path, following on from what Geoff Hamilton was doing all those years ago. Toby is a big Geoff Hamilton fan so I’m really looking forward to seeing what direction he’s going to take the programme in. It would be really great to see it go back to the sort of programmes Geoff Hamilton used to make – such as Paradise Gardens and the Ornamental Kitchen Garden. The new series, with Toby at the helm, starts in September.
