Christine's Garden.

The programme Christine's Garden, BBC2 Friday evening at 8.00pm, is about a Lancashire lass.

It's a joyous programme, celebrating the delights of plants in what is quite an ordinary garden. Although she now lives in Essex, under the flight path of Stanstead airport, Christine Walkden was actually born and bred in Rishton.

Her enthusiasm, combined with her warm Lancastrian brogue, make this a must see programme for anybody with an interest in gardening, and makes a pleasant change from the quick fix with a bit of decking/make over type shows.

I heard her being interviewed yesterday on Radio 2, and she was suprised that the show as become such a big hit. It was also on the show that I heard her talk fondly about Rishton, and her Lancashire roots.
