HBGTP Ambassador Announced

We are delighted to announce Alan Titchmarsh MBE as our first-ever ambassador for the Historic and Botanic Garden Training Programme (HBGTP).

Alan became an apprentice gardener with his local council at 15 – an experience that helped inspire him to begin his incredibly successful career as a gardener, broadcaster and writer.

“I’m really proud to be the ambassador for the Historic Botanic Garden Training Programme. We have tremendous skills in this country, and it’s vital that we keep them going. We can do that through this training programme.”
