What a loss to Gardeners

[carlton23]

John Cushnie has had a heart attack and has died. I`m sure everyone who lisens to Gardeners Question Time on Sundays Radio 4 @ 2pm will miss his Irish voice and funny quips. RIP John, and may you find a beautiful garden in Heaven.

Carlton thanks for posting this, I had no idea that John had died, it's very sad news. He seemed to be lovely man & at 66 was too young to go. His wit, humour & expertise will be very much missed.

I agree with all that has been said.
I wonder if you realise that there is to be a special tribute Gardener's Question Time to
John on next weeks programme.

Thanks Bromsgrove...

I have made this post sticky for 3 days.

It is a sad loss.

All the best

If you haven't already done so read the Obituary In Sat 16th Daily Telegrah. You will find it in the Gardening section of the paper

This is a total surprise & shock to me....I used to listen to him on R4 -What a brilliantly funny man he was & such an expert in his field. He will be greatly missed and irreplaceable.....So sad. RIP
