Matthew Appleby’s Gardening Blog is a thoroughly entertaining read, which always generates great interest amongst the gardening community.
Writing for Horticultural Week, Matthew certainly takes a lighthearted approach to his articles, which he describes as “offering an insider’s view of the world of horticulture”.
Matthew Appleby - Offering insights into the horticultural world
Sometimes controversial, always witty and often painfully honest with his frank opinions, Matthew always gets people talking (or commenting to be more precise).
It seems that nearly every article Matthew writes, he receives a mixture of critical, inquisitive and positive responses, but what’s nice is that he takes the time to respond to all of them and joins in with the ongoing conversation.
I think it’s fair to say that the blog often strays from focusing purely on gardening, but the tangents Matthew takes are funny and entertaining, somehow always managing to find his way back to the world of horticulture.
With such an engaging writing-style it’s hardly surprising that Matthew has now taken his horticultural views to a wider audience, with his regular column in the Telegraph.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Matthew Appleby’s Gardening Blog is now Dobbies Gardening Blog of the Week.

Matthew always amuses me, but not for the reasons he thinks he does! lol. seriously, his bermuda shorts and pumpkin-headed baby photos are always funny.
Wish he wouldn’t gossip so much about people we’ve never heard of. But he’s the most fun we’re having at the Telegraph, no doubt about that!
