This Week's Celebrity Gardener

George Bush - President of U.S.A.


The most powerful man in the world - Gardens! That's right, you heard it first on Amateur Gardening and we bring you an exclusive personal interview with the man himself.



AG: What inspired you to take up Gardening as a hobby?
George: When I was growing up, our next-door neighbour thought they had the best lawn in the street and I knew ours was really the best. I took up gardening as a competitive challenge.

AG: Describe your gardening 'Moment'?
George: It would have to be walking Thabo Mbeki around the gardens here at the White House. He loved the place and was amazed at the plant selection, the rolling lawns, the helipad, FBI shooting range...

AG: Now George, you've been harshly criticised in the press for not composting. Do you compost your waste materials?
George: Of course. Apart from the little thing I've got going in the Nevada desert I'm a big proponent of recycling our own home garden waste.



AG: Finally George, if you could change one thing in the gardening world today, what would it be?
George: Thrips. They're schemes are bent on destruction and evil and we need to route them out and rid ourselves of this terrible blight on gardening societies.
