Talks & Events from the BBC Gardener of the Decade

Contact me today to discuss talks giving talks at your show, event or club.
It is so exciting to be giving live talks again, but Zoom talks are still available for £100

  • Talks

    Since winning BBC Gardener of the Year, I have given many garden club talks all over the South West, including the scenes that were deleted from the programme. Never mind about the gardening, I can reveal the secrets of Charlie Dimmock’s underwear drawer and whether or not Alan Titchmarsh dyes his hair……

    I have also added the sequel about winning BBC Gardener of the Decade and have developed other talks such as Plants That Should Be Better Known, and New Tricks For Old Gardeners – see below for full talk list

    My live talk fee for 2024 is £180, for 2025 £190, plus return travel from Norton sub Hamdon at 50p per mile, as long as the current high price of fuel continues.  Zoom talks are £100. Please contact me for further details.
