I remember the day in 1997 when the producer of Gardeners’ Question Time first contacted me and asked if we could meet. Trevor Taylor (of Taylor Made Broadcasts) had taken over at short notice when Stefan Buczacki and the then panel defected to the new Classic FM station in 1994. Anne Swithinbank, Queen of House Plants, was the first of the current panel on the show, and Eric Robson was the new chairman.
