BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time is set to record two shows in front of a live audience at the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA) in Staffordshire.

The recording takes place on 22 October in the NMA, which was named the VisitEngland Business Events Venue of the Year 2023.

For over seven decades, Gardeners’ Question Time has provided expert advice and insights into all things gardening and continues to draw an audience of approximately two million listeners each week.

“Whilst caring for the National Memorial Arboretum’s 150-acre estate keeps us incredibly busy, it’s a task that brings our team such pride,” says Paul Johnson, grounds and landscape manager at the National Memorial Arboretum.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming other passionate horticulturists to the arboretum for this special evening.

“Even with a wealth of experience at our fingertips, I’m confident that we’ll still pick up some valuable tips and tricks.”

Tickets for the live recording will go on sale at 10am tomorrow and will cost £4.50 each with attendees welcome to arrive earlier in the day to enjoy the 150-acre site.
