More than perhaps any other program, Gardeners' Question Time embodies the essence of Radio Four. When researching the program, it appeared that over the years there were just 400 or so questions, or variants of questions, which cover 95% of all the those asked. The book is a compilation of those questions and answers, under headings such as Pests & Diseases, Fruits, Vegetables, Ornamentals, and Trees & Shrubs.

John Cushnie is a landscape designer and contractor. Bob Flowerdew is Britain’s leading organic gardener. Pippa Greenwood is one of Britain’s leading plant pathologists. Bunny Guinness is a chartered landscape architect and Anne Swithinbank was Glasshouse Supervisor at the RHS at Wisley for Four years. All of the authors are GQT panel members.
All seasoned gardeners know Gardeners' Question Time. Sunday lunchtime would not be Sunday lunchtime unless they tuned in to listen to gardening advice from experts, delivered with wry humour and the occasional discursive bantering. Be it in the "Potting Shed" or a village hall, you are guaranteed a laugh coupled with tips of the week and solid horticultural knowledge from acknowledged experts in their fields. Started over fifty years ago, the world's longest running gardening programme has amassed a core of oft-asked questions. As long ago as the end of the war people were having problems with slugs and snails and organic gardening, all as pertinent now as then. This book is a collection of the 350 most frequently posed. The contributors are all regulars of Eric Robson, the Chair, and include specialist expertise such as organic gardening (Bob Flowerdew), greenhouse gardening (Anne Swithinbank), garden design (Bunny Guiness), pests and diseases (Pippa Greenwood) and general cultivation (John Cushnie). With all that experience mixed together the book gives a rounded picture to all queries presented. Each question is answered by the relevant expert but also accompanied by any other thoughts from the other contributors. A must for all GQT listeners, a must for all gardeners and a conversion aid to all those people not yet ensnared by this endearing British institution. - Lucy Watson
