Celebrity gardener

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gardeners who have achieved fame through their pioneering innovations, writing or, more often, their television personas, may be classed as Celebrity Gardeners.

The writing of C. Z. Guest, Esther Dean and Stirling Macoboy brought them enough fame for them to be considered celebrity gardeners.

In England, the Royal Horticultural Society has described both Alan Titchmarsh and Monty Don as celebrity gardeners. [1] [2]
