Neil Grant and Andy MacIndoe are Radio and TV stars of the week - and Carol Paris on Wake up to Money BBC Radio 5 Live
The unprecedented levels of national TV and radio coverage of garden centres over the Easter period continued last week.

A feature by Giles Brandreth on The One Show filmed at Ferndale Garden Centre in Sheffield was broadcast on Wednesday evening.  Follow this link:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01rnx8n/The_One_Show_03_04_2013/  The garden centre feature starts at 6:40 into the programme. 



Then on Friday lunchtime part of BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme came live from Hilliers Winchester featuring an interview with MD Andy MacIndoe and a phone link with GCA Chairman Peter Burks.

We've been scouring the web all week to find the missing link to the BBC Breakfast News interviews with Guy Topping on Good Friday but they are still nowhere to be found.  If anyone finds them before us, or if you know of any other pieces of TV and Radio garden centre coverage please let us know.  Email trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk

Wake up to Carol Paris

For those who weren't up listening to the radio at 5:30am this morning, here's a link to the very latest national radio piece about the weather and the effect on our industry.  Just as I was having my breakfast Mickey Clarke introduced HTA Director General Carol Paris with the line: "Now Thursday was the coldest April day for 20 years..."  Hear the interview here:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rqj6d.  Carol's interview starts at 28:30.
