Beckham's Blooming Garden: A New Green Thumb

0:00On March 21st, here's the latest in entertainment and celebrity news. Sir David Beckham, the former football star, once famous for his right foot, has traded pitches for plants. At age 50, he set to host a garden at this year's Chelsea Flower Show, alongside gardening expert Alan Titch Marsh. The display, called the Curious Garden, comes from a project with the Kings Foundation. It highlights a beginner's fresh take on horticulture, meant to spark interest in gardening among young people and promote environmental jobs and rural crafts. Beckham grew up in the city but picked up gardening tips from his dad early on. Now at his Cotswold's home, he's built an impressive setup with vegetable rows, flower beds for his wife Victoria, and daughter Harper, a pond, chickens, bees and more, all with help from a head gardener. He's a patron of the Kings Foundation, which focuses on sustainability and heritage. Beckham shares a love of nature with King Charles, who toured him around high grow gardens
