Voices: John Wiggett's pride and joy is a Wisteria
John Wiggett has a Wisteria in his front garden in Delamere Avenue, Levenshulme. It's his prides and joy - mainly because of advice from Alan Titchmarsh.
John's Wisteria is 32 years-old and hadn't been performing as well as he had hoped.
But after reading an article by TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh, John says that he's expecting great things from the plant this year.

"I've counted 74 flower buds and that's the most it has ever had".
When it is in full bloom (in mid-May) John is expecting a lot of interest from passers-by, some of which stop to take pictures!
"Prince Charles has a cottage on the Isles of Scilly called Wisteria," says John, "It's covered in Wisteria, but he has a man looking after it that knows what he's doing".
