The popular BBC Radio 4 programme Gardeners' Question Time comes to Witney on February 4 to record two programmes.

Gill Pyrah chairs the panel of experts -- leading organic gardener Bob Flowerdew, writer and broadcaster Matthew Biggs, and forester and broadcaster Tony Russell.

Two programmes will be recorded at the Corn Exchange in Market Square, where the team will be guests of Witney Horticultural Society and gardeners from Oxfordshire.

Producer Trevor Taylor said: "We know we have many loyal and enthusiastic listeners in the area and we look forward to meeting them as well as answering their questions."

The programme is in its 57th year and since its first broadcast in the spring of 1947, the programme has visited thousands of gardening clubs and horticultural societies.

It has answered more than 26,000 questions from gardening enthusiasts from all over the UK.

Gardeners' Question Time can be heard on Sundays at 2pm and is repeated on Wednesdays at 3pm.

The programmes recorded at Witney will be broadcast on February 29 and March 21.
