Frogmore House and Gardens

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Peter Gibbs chairs a very special edition of GQT, continuing the programme's 70th Anniversary Celebrations with a visit to Frogmore House and Gardens in Windsor Great Park - an historic royal retreat rarely open to the public, where The Queen takes a keen interest in the gardens. The highlight of the programme is a recorded message from Her Majesty herself, on the occasion of the programme's 70th anniversary, while Peter Gibbs takes the opportunity to meet up with The Keeper of the Gardens, John Anderson, to hear how The Royal Family have long influenced the landscape at Frogmore, right up to the present day. We also hear from Rufus Bird, Deputy Surveyor of The Queen's Works of Art, on how a theme of gardening and botanics can be found running throughout the house. Regular panellists Matthew Wilson, Anne Swithinbank and Matt Biggs join Peter in The Duchess of Kent Sitting Room to take questions from a local gardening audience. Produced by Darby Dorras Assistant Producer: Laurence Bassett A Somethin' Else production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
