Garden railroading segment on HGTV

[Jerry Barnes]

He did a show one time before on GR's, probably a repeat from a few years ago, it was okay, if it's the same one.

Thank you for the heads up, although a HGTV fan, sometimes I miss shows I really want to see. Howard

I remember seeing such a segment on a program hosted by Mark Cullen. His dad has a garden railroad display located on the outskirts of Toronto. I met Mark Cullen when he was doing a promo in Owen Sound in 2005. I asked him why they didn't do more on the hobby. He felt that one segment was enough. Go figure.

I know a few months ago HGTV had a sement where their was a garden railroad.  I forgot what show it was on HGTV but it was pretty cool to see even if i caught the tail end.  I will have to remember this one.

I watch the shwo every Sunday morning before I go out to get the newspaper.  The vast majority of his "segments" run about 8 minutes.  Sometimes he has a 12 minute feature segement then 2 shorter closing segments.  Since this show (as per the link) has three segements and the GRR portion is listed first, I would guess it will be another 8~10 minute segment.

 Thanks Rene. I'm familiar with that show (Paul James, "the Gardening Guy") but don't see it much anymore since its on so early.

Please note the time is 7:30 AM and not PM ( 7:30 PM is HouseHunters time one of my wife's favorite shows).

 Brian,

 

Good question! It is a segment on a show called "Gardening by the Yard." I will try and include the link to that episode here.

 Rene,

Is this segment part of a show or one of those short commercial segments they do?
