“Peter Macqueen throws a warming comfort blanket round his audience with his touching and gentle portrayal of veteran gardener Herbert Pinnegar in Reginald Arkell’s story of a man looking back over his life and over English rural social history… Old Herbaceous to give him his nickname, is at times charming, crotchety, stubborn and given to flashes of humour… He’s full of little knowing chuckles as he casts his mind back nostalgically. Macqueen, or is it Pinnegar, sprinkles garden wisdom into a tale which engages the audience…one man on the front row nearly got a soaking from the old man’s watering can and cuttings were handed round for approval…as a gardener himself, Macqueen has empathy with the character, inviting his audience, his guests, to share his greenhouse, his tips and his life.” Keswick Reminder
