Alan Titchmarsh
The Ground Force star, born 2nd May 1949, in Ilkley, Yorkshire announced to school friends of the age of 10 that he would be the next Percy Thrower, although those ambitions were, he tells us, fudged in some uncomfortable encounters with the opposite sex (He always picked girls who were taller than him, and the relationships didn't last).

His first experiences as a gardener at the Royal Botanical Garden at Kew are full of the kind of quirky incident that makes his writing appealing. As his fame grew, Titchmarsh began rubbing shoulders with the likes of Nelson Mandela Julia Roberts and the Queen.

Alan Titchmarsh has had a passion for gardening for as long as he can remember, and with such great programmes as Ground Force under his belt it seems he'll be on our screens planting and pruning for many years to come.

Alan Titchmarsh Autobiography: Trowel and Error
Trowel and Error is described as a "touch of the memoirs" by Alan Titchmarsh now a national institution; with his characteristic good humour and charm. Communication is his special skill, and it was to be expected that Trowel and Error (the groan-inducing pun is all part of the Titchmarsh armoury), would be revealing and evocative. Many a book conceals a rampant ego behind an "aw, shucks" manner, but Titchmarsh comes across as a genuinely nice guy--one who is self-deprecating. This is a truly engaging (and often very funny) autobiography.
