“This is the first time the show has been broadcast from West Dean Gardens. The panellists took time out before the recording to see around the spectacular walled gardens accompanied by gardens supervisor Sarah Wain.”
The programme will be broadcast at 3pm on Friday, October 4 and repeated again at 2pm on Sunday 6 October.
The Friday broadcast will kick off an weekend of gardening activity at West Dean as thousands of visitors descend on the gardens for its new harvest themed event, Grow! Cook! Eat! being held on Saturday 5 and Sunday, October 6.
