Gardeners’ World filmed in top-secret Birmingham location
“I like taking something that is unlikely and turning it into a beautiful feature.”
The location of the four-acre site is being kept under wraps amid fears it could be targeted by vandals.
TV insiders said they were confident the new Gardener’s World site, which replaces the Berryfields site in Warwickshire, would remain safe and secure despite its urban setting.
And traditionalists will be happy to hear that show producers will be keeping the best elements of the programme, which is now in its 41st year.
Presenters Carol Klein, Joe Swift and Alys Fowler will give tips on the best spring-flowering shrubs and bulbs, and demonstrate how to construct a compost bin in tonight’s episode.
A feature for the more frugal gardener will also be aired, beginning with ideas on plant swapping and a grow-your-own fruit salad.
n Gardener’s World is on BBC2 at 8pm.
