Description

Alan Titchmarsh has had a passion for gardening for as long as he can remember. Aged 8, he announced to friends that he was going to be the next Percy Thrower, although he thought it was no more than a dream.

With the magic touch of a best-selling writer, Alan tells his own story from Ilkley Moor to Pebble Mill and to the final realising of his dream of becoming TV's favourite gardener. Along the way, the cast of characters includes everyone from Auntie Ethel to Nelson Mandela and the Queen.

With great charm, humour and passion, this is probably the best story Alan Titchmarsh has ever told.

Alan Titchmarsh is known to millions through the popular BBC TV programmesBritish Isles: A Natural History,How to be a Gardener,Ground ForceandGardeners' World. But he started out in far humbler beginnings, in a rural childhood on the edge of Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire.
After a spell at Kew he became a horticultural journalist, as an Editor of gardening magazines, before becoming a freelance broadcaster and writer.
He has twice been named 'Gardening Writer of the Year' and for four successive years was voted 'Television Personality of the Year' by the Garden Writers' Guild. In 2004 he received their Lifetime Achievement Award.
Alan has appeared on radio and television both as a gardening expert and as an interviewer and presenter, fronting such programmes asPoints of View,Pebble Mill,Songs of Praise,Titchmarsh's TravelsandAsk the Family, and since 1983 has presented the BBC's annual coverage ofThe Chelsea Flower Show. He now has his own daytime TV show on ITV,The Alan Titchmarsh Show. Alan has written more than forty gardening books, as well as seven best-selling novels, including his 2008 success,Folly, which have all made the Sunday Times Bestsellers List. Alan has published three volumes of memoirs;Trowel and Errorsold over 200,000 copies in hardback when published in 2002, andNobbut A Lad, about his Yorkshire childhood, was published in October 2006 with similar success, and his third volume of memoirKnave of Spadeswas a Sunday Times bestseller.
