Alan Titchmarsh's gardening tips

Getting on

Q: Got any tips for older and less able gardeners?

Look towards raising up your garden to meet you - use tubs or pots that you find more easily accessible. If you can't cultivate the whole garden, then put some of it down to gravel and have plants growing up through the gravel, which makes for easy maintenance. You don't have to give up gardening, even when you think that your body is giving up!
