Alan's No.1!
A recent article in The Daily Telegraph listed Alan Titchmarsh as Britain's most influential gardener.
The list compiled by garden writer Tim Richardson included 30 names of 'the great and the good' of horticulture. However, special praise was reserved for Alan: "Ask anyone in Britain to name a gardener and the great Titchmarsh will usually be invoked." and "Such a profile gives the broadcaster unparalleled influence in this sector".

We've always known Alan was No.1, that's why we love his garden tools so much!
