Famous Gardeners On the List ...?

Just a thought ... It has crossed my mind if there are any famous or celebrity gardeners that are members of this website? To me it would make sense; you can keep your identity anonymous, yet have access to the knowledge of the 1000's of members and forums.

We can't all be experts on every aspect of gardening, so what a great research tool this website/forum is ... I wonder if Monty, Joe Swift, Mr Titchmarsh or Carol K etc have been responding to members questions or indeed asking question of their own ...

Further to this, who knows, there could be other famous people, who like their gardening and want to know more. I suppose we'll never know, but as I said, just a thought ...

By the way, no, I'm not famous!!!

 

I'm famous. I used to be on telly regularly. Well, by regularly I mean twice, with an 8 year gap between appearances. And when I say appearances, I mean that in one the camera scanned past the crowd I was in, and on the second go the top of my head was broadcast for about 3 whole seconds while someone filmed me using an angle grinder, as part of an article about our engineering course for deprived youths.

I was also listed in the credits on the back of the printed programme for the show 'A Christmas Carol ', as performed by our university drama society where'd I'd volunteered as sound engineer in the hope of winning the affection of the fine young ladies that had also joined the drama society.

 

OK then, folks, it's time to stop pretending, I'll give you some clues........


I was born in November 1948
I live near Tetbury
I have a sister and two brothers
My mommy is more famous than me !

 

Ive been on Toughest pubs in Britain a few years ago starts just over 4 minutes in

 

I think @shiney knew Capability Brown

 

I think your nearly right but slightly mistaken.

I'm fairly sure that capability brown's grandad was a child apprentice of shineys.

 

I also have been on the telly, Twice in casulty, not in hospitol, but the programe about a hospitol

 

I've never been on telly.
I'm yet to be discovered.

If they dont hurry up it could be too late.

 

I was on the telly some years back on a dreadful programme called Diners. I agreed to be on it BEFORE I'd actually seen just how awful a programme it was. Luckily the episode featuring yours truly went out at some ungodly hour like 23.30 pm. I told nobody I was featuring and so the only person who I knew did see me was our farrier who mentioned seeing the programme with a big sniggery grin on his face...phew could have been worse.

 

@roders , we dont often agree
Everyone else thought the bit about hurrying up was FUNNY, you hit AGREE?

That's you off my Christmas card list.

 

One of our locals was on toughest pubs, they had a day trip to Porthcawl....magic!
Been on local news twice, once for some xmas party for the mine and the other time talking about an exercise class called 'pushy mums' .. I tend to hide from cameras these days though!

 

Been on telly twice, in1963 when the queen visited Newport, myself and 69 others sang in front of her at the Civic Centre. Second time was in 1966 when the first Severn Bridge opened.
