Gardeners Question Time success

Over 150 keen gardeners packed the Tiverton Community Arts Theatre for Radio 4's recording of Gardeners' Question Time on Wednesday.

Eric Robson was chairman with Pippa Greenwood, Matthew Biggs and Anne Swithenbank the panel of experts delivering the answers to the chosen from the audience.

Four Garden Club members were lucky enough to have their question picked and were given the chance to read it out.  The panellists were challenged on a couple of questions but bounced ideas around and the answers will be listed on the Radio 4 website once the programme has been aired.

The recording will be aired on Friday 20th June & repeated on Sunday 22nd June.
