BBC Countryfile at Chastleton Garden

Very excitingly we had BBC Countryfile come and film in the house and garden at Chastleton in August 2012. The programme aired on 2/9/2012 at 7.30pm and is now available on iplayer for the next 7 days. We had a good day with Helen Skelton and Matt Baker and the friendly and helpful crew. John Poole and myself were both seen on screen promoting the garden. The weather was a bit variable. Filming the sections on fruit and topiary in the morning were very wet and blustery, but by the filming of the croquet in the afternoon and evening the sun was out. Thanks John - you were great! Anna.

Matt and Helen learning the art of croquet.
The brown marks on the croquet lawns are where I have just treated the 2 fairy rings that appeared at the end of last year and continue to make a statement on the lawns!!
It has been a battle with the weeds on the fine turf lawns this year - I have just completed the autumn weed and feed programme.
