GQT at Home: A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Available for over a year

Accompanying you this Christmas, Kathy Clugston hosts the gardening panel show. Bob Flowerdew, Christine Walkden, and Matthew Pottage are on hand to answer the gardening queries. Alongside the usual mulch of gardening goodies - a how-to on home-growing parsnips and skirret, a plant that tastes like an oyster, and the curious appearance of a partridge in a pear tree - Kathy brings humour in the form of the now-traditional GQT cracker jokes. Providing us with some trimmings foraged from the great outdoors, Matt Biggs speaks to the team in charge of growing the Christmas tree for Windsor Castle, and Chris Beardshaw shares the folklore of that familiar festive flora, the holly or ilex.
