BBC Local Radio - Mark Forrest, What are you proud of creating in your garden?

Meet the 75 year-old who's spent 13 years creating a 150ft-long giant dragon hedge.

Join Mark Forrest as he brings the best of the day's BBC Local Radio together.

Meet the 75 year-old man who's turned an ordinary, boring garden hedge into a 150-foot long, 30-foot high dragon. Mark will be getting out trimmers and clippers and talking topiary. Hear from one of the most popular topiary gardens in the UK, Levens Hall in Cumbria, and a topiary expert who'll help you cheat your way to wonderful creations!

Looking ahead to the Bank Holiday weekend - we'll hear about a 'living orchestra' in a forest, a domino topple with a difference in Coventry, and the Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts....

....whatever you're planning there'll be a full weekend weather forecast with Peter Gibbs from the BBC Weather Centre at 2040.

Do you get your knickers in a twist about 'its' and 'it's', 'there' and 'their', or 'your' and 'you're'? Mark's talking bad grammar - as he heads to Coventry to see some poorly written signs that have just gone up. Do you care though? Are you a pedant if you hate bad grammar? Speaking to a copywriter who's so enraged by a bad sign at her local nursery she won't consider sending her child there!

Sports and hobbies can become a bit of a bore when you're a child...not so for children in Wiltshire who've had a special visit from Team GB's captain of their sport - water polo! We'll hear from one 10 year old who's been so inspired he NEVER wants to stop playing. Encourage him tonight with your stories of sticking at it, when others quit. Mark will be speaking to the Chair of the Society of Recorder Players - who have 1300 adult members in the UK.

Introducing tonight comes from Leeds band The Dukes of Bevington, and Crayon from Oxford
