"I adore giving talks. Growing my own produce, arranging exotic plants in the greenhouse and enjoying the plants and wildlife of our garden give me so much pleasure, I love sharing this with a keen audience. Everybody brings along their own opinions and it's great fun to play with these, so a good talk is full of both cheers and groans. Too soon the evening is finished, but there's a real buzz because as well as learning something, we've all enjoyed sharing our passion for plants and gardening, problems and successes. Gardening either attracts or creates lovely people and even though I arrive knowing nobody, when I leave I feel I'm saying goodbye to a bunch of friends."

Anne trained at Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew and then went on to be the glasshouse supervisor at RHS Wisley. It was here she gained her first television experience and her regular broadcast appearances have made her a household name.

Anne lives and gardens in East Devon and cultivates a one and a half acre plot of the finest Devon clay.

Her easy going style enriched with a classical horticultural training and years of experience means she is in great demand for talks, broadcasts, books and newspapers articles.
