A touch of horticultural magic descended on Worplesdon on the evening of Tuesday 18th February with the arrival of the BBC Gardeners’ Question Time panel.

Worplesdon Garden Club and the Trustees of Worplesdon Memorial Hall were honoured to host the entertaining and supremely knowledgable Matthew Pottage, Pippa Greenwood, and Matt Biggs, with Peter Gibbs chairing questions from a capacity audience at the Worplesdon Memorial Hall.

Two recordings were made during the evening with a total of twenty questions being posed to the panel with topics ranging from improving tree health by mulching and aerating the soil, through using nematodes to control vine weevil on Heuchera, to getting Bird of Paradise plants (Strelitzia reginae) to flower.
