His long broadcasting career includes the 91热爆's Gardeners' World and series such as Hidden Gardens and the hugely popular The Flying Gardener, amongst many others. He is also a regular expert on Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time panel, where he intrepidly faces a live audience of gardening enthusiasts!
Chris has received over 15 RHS medals, many of which are Best in Shows and Gold awards, as well as a growing selection of international accolades.
