I just realized I have not seen either of these ladies this gardening season. Have you?

Yes, I have seen both. More so Roxanne selling her fireman's hose and some pollinators. Can't remember the context of seeing Barbara King.

ETA: Have also seen Roxanne with hummer feeders.

I was looking for some things from Barbara King the other day and there's not very much left and the majority are on clearance.

I remember when she started it was such great fanfare and I've bought some lovely things from her over the years. I will miss her.

Yes, saw quite a lot of Roxanne DePalma and also her substitute brand rep for her brand Ultimate Innovations.

Cannot remember seeing Barbara King at all though.

I think the gardening shows as a whole were much less this year than in years past. I stopped buying plants from QVC quite a while ago, but I always purchased some pretty yard decor. They did have things that I couldn't really find at my local stores. It's too bad.

It looks like Barbara King is just gone though. They didn't have her on much last year either. This year it seems official.

I used to love the Marigold line (I believe it was QVC's own gardening line) and that's gone too. It didn't last long.

Plow & Hearth is all but gone too.

I'm assuming they are phasing out most of their gardening shows/lines. I know not everyone enjoyed them, but they were a nice break from the same old stuff...

Along the same topic but there were not any outdoor rugs this year either. There was a brand called Noursin that was always on. Same with the Scott brothers. Maybe Q is getting out of this side of their business.

Or.....maybe no one wants to sell on the Q because they aren't getting paid??

@Patriot3 I doubt that is the case. That is just your supposition. There are many new vendors that have come to the Q to sell

Cottage Farms hasn't had a TSV this year which is weird too.

My Plow and Hearth store closed several years ago. Was told the company was sold to someone in Japan and they closed many stores. I miss the store; bought quite a bit there. I think they are just online now.
