Alan Titchmarsh: From Yorkshire roots to national treasure
About this episode
🌸This week, Cressida and Isabella are joined by gardening royalty, TV presenter and national treasure Alan Titchmarsh.
🌸 Alan reflects on what he calls a ‘blissful’ childhood in Yorkshire, and how the unwavering support of his parents allowed him to follow his passion for gardening. He also opens up about the tougher moments in life - from being bullied at school to coping with the death of his parents.
🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives.
💬 Plus, hear from listener Ant, who shares some of the most valuable lessons he’s taken from his mum!
