TV stills photography Manchester – the Great Garden Revolution

Nice to get out during lockdown and produce some TV stills photography for The Great Garden Revolution, Channel 4’S new gardening show. Got to visit locations across Manchester, Wakefield and Birmingham during April…and the show is quick to air at 8pm on Saturday 01 May after a speedy edit. Looks like Channel 4 is aiming at the ever-growing interest in gardening that has kept the UK busy during the Covid pandemic. Will this new-found love of all things horticultural continue as life slowly gets back to normal? I can see it getting another series at least. I love my gardening and have always enjoyed growing veg and, more recently, flowers too. So, if you’re looking for gardening tips…and I know that I spent more time giving them out than taking photographs over the last year…then take a look at their work here.

The Great Garden Revolution – Channel 4’s foray into the gardening craze.

Gardeners World

A small garden in Birmingham got a child-friendly makeover.

I didn’t get much time on the various sets, but it looks like the show is pitched as Gardeners World for the under 35’s.  The cast are a trio of easy-on-the-eye young experts:

Joel Bird
Design Expert 

A carpenter, gardener and builder from Liverpool, Joel won the first Shed of the Year competition on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces.

Poppy Okotcha
Plant Expert

Poppy is all about connecting you to nature, through your garden, showing you how to make the most of what you have, and in the most sustainable way. Poppy lives in Devon where she is creating her own edible and medicinal garden.

Bruce Kenneth
Carpenter
Bruce is the show’s resident wood expert. A carpenter and furniture designer living in West Yorkshire, he’s also a regular upcycler on the BBC show Money for Nothing.

Experts will give viewers a variety of tips, builds and ideas that can be put into action straight away, and it will feature a celebrity guest each week who will show off their own garden and demonstrate their bespoke hacks.
