Gardening with Wilson

It has been quite some time already. Finally, the episode featuring Singapore, together with gardens in two other countries, namely, Bangkok and Bali will be shown in the 10th episode of BBC2′s gardening series titled “Around the World in 80 Gardens”.

In this episode, there will be an interview with Minister Mentor Lee and also a feature on my community garden too. Below is a picture I have taken with Monty Don, the host of the series. It was shot while we were filming for the episode in February last year. One thing I must say is that the garden then and now is quite different. It is now more established with more plants around the garden and the soil’s better too.

Apparently, in the series’ trailor that was put on YouTube, there was a brief mention of Singapore and I admit that I am proud to be one of the gardens that was featured out of the 80 gardens, many of which are much, much more spectacular than mine.

I have also bought the book written on the series from Amazon UK. It is still somewhere in the mail system though and I cannot wait to see what’s being written on Singapore!
