On Monday 4 November 2013, BBC Radio 4ʼs Gardenersʼ Question Time
records a programme at Rochdale Pioneers Museum.
The celebrated panel of gardening experts will be tackling the questions put to
them by local gardening enthusiasts, with Eric Robson in the chair and the team
being made up of Christine Walkden, Bob Flowerdew and Pippa Greenwood.
Gardenersʼ Question Time is a Radio 4 institution, attracting over 2 million
listeners a week. Recorded in a different location each week, this long-standing
radio programme has answered well over 30,000 questions since its inception in
1947.
The panel members have been guests of a diverse range of gardening clubs and
other organisations; including a telecommunications call centre and the London
Transport Museum.
The panel never see the questions before the recording. Their encyclopaedic,
seemingly effortless answers are completely spontaneous and reveal their huge
experience and depth of gardening knowledge. Being on the GQT panel is not for
the faint hearted.
