H G T V Garden Programs

19 years ago

My feeling is that HGTV offers very little in the way of garden shows for the gardener who may not be a pro but who is advanced in knowledge and has been gardening for quite some time. Either their shows are too basic or are of very large gardens the average person does not own. What are your feelings?

My opinion is that they have taken the "G" out of the HGTV and replased it with a "D" for Home and Decorating TV. lol :)

Wishful thinking on my part, a show about down to earth real gardeners, peeks into their gardens, featuring plants we all know and love, new discoveries, segments on real plants-people, their gardens and their specialties. I know, I know, in your dreams....

Yeah - I think it is pretty limited too. Very basic shows. It seems their emphasis is on real estate shows (which I really don't get - most people aren't moving every year) or lots of cheap decorating shows during the day.

My questions to HGTV re garden shows received a luke-warm form notice which offered no encouragement at all. I give up.

Give it up, dear people, they just arnt listening and they dont care. Most of us who have complained already have not seen any improvements on gardening on HGTV at all, why they even have the "G" in the station at all is beyond me.

I remember that they used to have a few good gardening shows on, most of the good ones seemed to be produced in Canada or the UK. The shows they have on now are LAME, not even worth watching. They could do so much with a few garden shows instead of the same boring real estate or tacky decorating shows that they seem to recycle.

Trying again!
The entire network is one big commercial. At first they are fun to watch then poof you notice your taste, wants have changed and feel ernest. Lucky for HGTV they can direct you where to BUY it all.

I do like Gardeners Diary everyday at 8:00am est - some of the gardens featured are rather large but they are for the most part just regular gardeners and not to overdone. I don't like the landscaping shows - I don't happen to have $20,000+ to dump into hardscaping and loads of mature large trees and shrubs that need placing with a crane. I get most of my inspiration from magazines and looking at pictures on the various forums on here....
