I adore gardens and garden history, with a special focus on the 19th/early 20th centuries. I have also spent the last eight years recovering the lost archive of garden maverick Ellen Willmott.

Gardening royalty, Alan is the voice of gardening for many of us. Writer, broadcaster, novelist, and with the Garden Collective from the start.

I am a garden designer, broadcaster, writer and design director of Modular. I have presented Gardeners' World and many other TV shows since 1998 and write weekly for The Times.

I'm a writer gardener. Author of The Grove and currently working on GREEN KINGDOM: the Family History of Plants, but having the most fun here on the Garden Collective.

Since my first garden article in 1979, I've been gardening correspondent of The Times, written for Country Life and other magazines, authored 11 books, and been awarded the EMH in 2024.

I'm a comedy writer. My long-running Radio 4 series, Conversations From A Long Marriage, stars Joanna Lumley. I live on the Suffolk coast and sea swim every day. I dream of creating a beautiful garden.
