Dirty Weekends

By Roger Hall & Philip Norman

19th February - 11th March 2000

 

SYNOPSIS

Gardening - New Zealand's favourite pastime. The jokes spring up like weeds, the situations tangle like clematis and the songs sparkle like hoses on a summer evening. We watch the horticultural frustrations of three Kiwi couples as they dig, fertilise, plant, prune and intrigue. With their fingers on the Kiwi pulse Roger Hall and Philip Norman hit the mark!
