Green-fingered Carol Klein loved by avid gardeners

Presenter Carol Klein’s passion and enthusiasm has endeared her to gardeners everywhere.

Four years ago, on a ‘significant’ birthday, Carol Klein’s husband Neil bought her a lovely, authentic gypsy caravan. It was, of course, for the garden — quirky, colourful, a bit different, useful, aesthetically pleasing and in keeping with the Devon garden she has spent a lifetime creating.

Carol has been a huge presence in the media since first presenting on Gardener’s World in 1989. Trained originally as a fine artist, shel spent many years teaching art until she started gardening, opened her own nursery in Devon and her hobby, like for so many of us , eventually became her career.
