GARDENING tips and advice sought by enthusiasts from the region will be shared with listeners of one of radio's longest-running shows this month.
Gardeners' Question Time, the popular Radio Four show that has been running for 60 years, was recorded at Durham University last night.
The show's panel -Eric Robson, Bob Flowerdew, Bunny Guinness, Roy Lancaster, Matthew Biggs, Anne Swithinbank and John Cushnie -and a green-fingered audience met in the Sir James Knott Hall, at Trevelyan College.
The university, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary, has an award-winning Botanic Garden and invited the show, which has made few appearances in the North-East, to the city.
The show is due to be broadcast at 2pm on Sunday, September 30.
University vice-chancellor Professor Chris Higgins said: "The popularity of our Botanic Garden is an indication of the passion and interest in gardening that exists in the region, and this event provided an opportunity for gardeners of all abilities to receive some tips and guidance from a renowned panel of experts.
"As the university continues to mark its 175th anniversary, this event provided another opportunity to welcome the wider community to join in our celebrations."
