Anyone else watching this? My initial reaction was a big disappointment - and listening to Monty Don ‘enthusing’ over it made me think of the King’s new clothes!!

I’m not, but I will and report back.

Give it a chance. It’s early days and I really think they’ve visited too soon.
No doubt there will be return visits.

Just watched a lady showing Carol Klein how they take cuttings of a plant!!

It will probably look stunning in a few years time. Needs time to develop, but I thought too it would be different.
However, when it was new I saw Alnwick Castle new Waterfall and garden. Lots of advertising and hype but I was so disappointed, basically not much to see no doubt it's magnificent now.
Look forward to seeing the New QE11 garden in a few years time.

Yes it did seem disappointing and rather boring atm. It has to mature, however, and could be lovely in a few years time when I hope they return so we can enjoy it.g
