A horticulture expert from Lancaster will star in a new series on national TV from next week.
Lachlan Rae, a former Young Horticulturalist of the Year, runs his garden management company from his base in Caton, and stars in a six-part series for More4 called ‘Garden of the Year’, where a team of judges, including host Zoe Ball and designer Manoj Malde, will search the UK to find the best and most spectacular gardens.
In the series, they will travel the length and breadth of the country on the hunt for the UK’s most spectacular home gardens. From classic English country gardens to the coolest contemporary designs; from spectacular hilltop locations to cosy, clever, urban green spaces, the team will be looking for the best of the best.
Lachlan said: ‘’(I’m) thrilled to have been working with this pair recently, the wonderful Zoe and Manoj.
‘’We’ve seen some top shelf gardens across Britain, I can’t wait for you all to see them too.
‘’Thanks to IWC Media and the Banijay Group for the opportunity, as well as to all those who’ve made the production a reality.’’
Split into regions, each episode will feature four contrasting gardens that represent, in different ways, the best of garden design in the area. The judges will visit each garden and score each one out of ten, based on their personal perspective and particular expertise: horticultural value, imaginative design and the overall visual impact.
The winning gardens from each episode will then go head-to-head in the grand finale, where one of them will win the title of Garden of the Year.
Zoe Ball said: “It’s a joy to be able to spend a summer in some of the most wonderful gardens in the country. The level of creativity and flair on show is incredible and it’s inspirational to see how our contenders have made their outdoors spaces into beautiful, relaxing havens. I think this will be a treat for any viewer, whether they are looking for ideas themselves or just enjoy a peek at gorgeous gardens.”
Garden of the Year is an IWC (a Banijay UK company) production for More4. It begins Monday, August 22nd at 9pm.
