BBC TV gardening expert Christine Walkden visited Sanders Garden World, near Burnham-On-Sea on Sunday during the garden centre’s Tomato Weekend.
The award-winning horticulturalist, who recently starred in her own TV series on BBC2 on Friday evenings and has also presented the BBC’s Gardeners’ World programme, was joined by the BBC TV crew filming the next series of Christine’s Garden.
Peter Burks, Managing Director at Sanders Garden World, gave Christine a guided tour of the garden centre and was filmed chatting to her.
He said: “We were delighted that such a distinguished TV gardener was able to join us for our Tomato Weekend, which tied in with National Tomato Week. She was very complimentary about the garden centre and our staff.”
“Visitors were able to chat to Christine, who was very personable and knowledgeable, about her work and get expert advice on how to grow their own tomatoes, one of her favourite plants. She said she would love to come and see us again.”
