Carol Klein opens winter border in memory of Geoff Hamilton
A  'winter border' planted in memory of the late Geoff Hamilton was opened by celebrity gardener Carol Klein this week at the Rutland gardens he created for BBC2's 'Gardener's World' programme over 14 years...

The border, planted up to mark the 20th anniversary of his untimely death, was populated with plants donated by many of Geoff's friends and colleagues on the re-worked site of his original winter garden. Geoff always felt that a garden should be enjoyed all year round, so the winter garden set out to show off plants that could provide interest through the darker months.

Geoff Hamilton’s New Gardeners Foundation bursery student Matthew Narciso helped to lay out and plant the border. The foundation, chaired by Geoffs widow Lynda, was created thanks to a donation from programme makers Catalyst TV and is funded through the sales of videos of Geoff's Barnsdale projects. 

Barnsdale Gardens and its adjoining nursery is run by Geoff's son Nick and is a significant tourist attraction in the region. The winter border opening attracted a huge crowd.
