Am I the only one fed up with not having a decent Garden Show on TV in New Zealand Gardening is one of the top pastimes in this country and yet we have had no quality Garden Show for years ( and no I\'m not including Half-hour Garden makeover programmes that are barely entertaining). Help change the situation by signing this petition and include any topics of garden interest, in the box provided, that you would like to see included in the show. The aim is to have an informative, educational, topical, entertaining show relevant to NZ conditions ( presented by people who know what they\'re talking about!). Practical advice, Hints and tips, viewer\'s gardens ( and not just the big already well-known ones!). If Coronation Street fans can get things changed then so can we. Let all your family and friends know of this site/ petition which will be open until 30 June 2006 and then presented to the CEO of TVNZ. Gardeners are only asking for 1 hour a week, we currently have NOTHING! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking the time to read this and sign. Together we can make a difference! Sharon Delaney

The momentum behind this push for a local gardening show is undeniable. Email the link to your local television station executives today to show them exactly what viewers expect. We are building the pressure needed to get this on the air.

Would love to see real home gardens and not just expensive architect designed jobs. let's see some vege patches!

Bring back the quality gardening programs. miss the days when tv actually taught you something useful for the weekends.

Sick of these makeover shows where they just slap some paint on a fence. We need some actual horticultural advice for our climate!

YES PLEASE. watching uk shows is useless when our seasons are totally different. give us something local that teaches us how to grow things properly.
