Christine's Garden

Christine's Garden was first shown on  BBC2 on 30 December 2005 with just 6, 30 minute episodes and ran for 2 series.

The series was repeated on BBC2 in January 2022 bringing this charming programme and memories back to our screens.

The programme features Lancashire lass Christine Walkden in her 1950's ex council house and garden in Harlow Essex with the background of constant plane noise from nearby Stanstead Airport.

This seems an unlikely location for the Horticulturist / gardening expert with over 35 years experience to make what turned out to be a popular and much loved gardening programme of its time.
