Gardens as art ? Yes, he is for art and not for artifice of the tv gardening kind. Perhaps it is a contradiction and a compromise to keep presenting, but then it is his day job.

I know that feeling well (not being tv persona) and I think it shows sometimes in my job...but we are all a bit like that perhaps ?Paul Steerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16934578411450049838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051537693446858666.post-59307385910424843262012-06-10T09:37:14.984+01:002012-06-10T09:37:14.984+01:00No, I don't think you are creepy.

We wait with trepidation to witness the effect upon your sensitive soul.<br /><br />It would be interesting to hear what digger Monty thinks of gardens as art.<br /><br />You are right too. It is the worst thing to attempt and is much about beauty, which is totally unfashionable.<br /><br />I think beauty is worth a revival.Bugger digging and lily beetles.
