Publisher's Synopsis
Geoff Hamilton was probably the most respected and loved television gardener and when he died in 1996 a nation of gardeners mourned the passing of an old friend. From an undistinguished birth in the East End of London, two business failures and a broken marriage, he emerged triumphantly to become not only a business success but also the doyen of practical gardeners - the people's gardener. Told by his twin brother, Tony, this unusual story traces Geoff's path from an idyllic childhood in rural Hertfordshire, where he was first bitten by the gardening bug, through National Service, and into horticulture.
