C. H. Middleton
On November 21 the 'best known gardener in Britain' made his television debut with a demonstration of autumn pruning. This afternoon and this evening he is to deal with one of the most fascinating of gardening hobbies - a lily pool.
The laying out and cultivation of such a delightful addition to a garden is an interest in itself. What more beautiful than lilies? What more charming than a pool in which fish hang like shadows of living gold? And let it be remembered that plant life is essential to the life of fish.
But it is in these winter days that the work must be done. C. H. Middleton will explain to viewers the plants they should avoid, like the duckweeds and azolla which spread too rapidly and cover the water like a carpet. Those who have been to Wisley will remember the lovely water-lily pool on the fringe of the woods.
