I have a confession to make...I don’t really like gardening anymore. 30 years of looking after other people’s gardens can do that to a childhood hobby. But don’t get me wrong – I still love spending time in beautiful gardens; I just don’t want to be tinkering under the bonnet any longer. And I’m not the only one.
This leaves
a huge blind spot – the lazy gardeners.
We make up the majority of society and yet we’re left scrabbling around
looking for ideas; most of us make hard work of it because, let’s be
honest gardening TV/media is a turn off. Just like cookery was in the early
1980’s. But then someone with vision let
Keith Floyd off the leash. BBC Gardeners’
World programme used to attract 5 million viewers, now it’s less than 2
million. Even publishers aren’t
publishing as many gardening books. The masses have changed how they see their gardens; they want to enjoy them but don’t want
to be gardeners.
