Gardening: Search for ‘The People’s Gardener’
February 3, 2009
The Alan Titchmarsh Show and RHS launch search for ‘The People’s Gardener’

ITV1’s The Alan Titchmarsh Show has teamed up with the Royal Horticultural Society’s Britain in Bloom to launch the search for ‘The People’s Gardener’. The competition to find the country’s most passionate community gardeners was launched on Monday 19th January. Every fortnight The Alan Titchmarsh Show will profile four candidates for the title and a spectacular prize, which includes the chance to present a gardening slot on The Alan Titchmarsh Show’s autumn series.

The prize will reward the winner and their local community. The People’s Gardener will take home £10,000 in National Garden Gift Vouchers to spend on community gardening projects where they live.
A top gardener from the RHS, the leading gardening charity, will visit to assist with the winner’s projects. The winner will receive life membership of the RHS, a VIP trip to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, spending time there with Alan, and attend the RHS’ National Britain in Bloom Awards as a guest of honour. The People’s Gardener will also become an informal ambassador for the RHS, helping the charity to promote the power of gardening to transform communities.
