- Sustainability
ALAN TITCHMARSH, MBE is a famous English broadcaster. Titchmarsh studied at the Hertfordshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture, before finally moving to the renowned Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Writer
Titchmarsh was initially employed as an Assistant Editor of gardening books by Hamlyn Publishing, before moving to Amateur Gardening Magazine in 1976, taking up the Deputy Editors post, before going freelance in 1979. In recent years, Titchmarsh has returned to writing, both as a novelist and with gardening articles for BBC Gardeners' World and Radio Times magazines, along with the Daily Express and Sunday Express newspapers.
Television
Alan Titchmarsh first few television appearances were on the long running BBC television show Nationwide as a horticulture expert. This interest in television led to him being invited to present coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show for BBC television in 1983, something Titchmarsh has now hosted every year to date. Titchmarsh also appeared on other BBC shows, such as Breakfast Time and Open Air, again as either a guest presenter or as a gardening expert, providing commentary and answering viewers` questions.
Gardeners' World
In 1996 Titchmarsh took over as host of another long-running BBC television program, Gardeners' World with the show being filmed in his own garden. In 1997, he took gardening to the masses with a popular BBC One television series, Ground Force in which he and fellow presenters Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh would perform a makeover on a garden. The show has travelled as far as USA and South Africa, where a memorable episode saw the Ground Force team makeover Nelson Mandela's garden.
Away from the gardening world, Titchmarsh has had spells presenting Songs of Praise, and a series of programs on BBC Radio 2 where he played a selection of light classical music.
In addition to writing around 40 gardening books, Titchmarsh has recently started writing fiction, and had his first novel, "Only Dad" published in 2001. To date a further five books have since been published.
