Make a date to visit the Bayer Garden Roadshow
Once again, we are looking forward to taking our Roadshow to many major gardening
events over the coming months. We are delighted to be adding Northern Ireland to
our list of venues for 2007 meaning that for the first time we will now be visiting
all four countries of the United Kingdom!
Hosted by Martin Fish and in association with Garden Answers and Garden News, our
Roadshow offers a full programme of live demonstrations plus question and answer
sessions, giving you the chance to quiz our team of gardening experts and win a
gardening goody-bag. Whether it is your lilies that are being eaten, lawns looking
pale or apples turning scabby, our panel of experts will be pleased to give you
advice on all your gardening problems.
