Alan Gardner- The Autistic Gardener
This series will start airing on Channel 4 next Wednesday at 8pm. I’ll be watching with interest.
Channel 4 Features has commissioned ‘The Autistic Gardener’ from betty. The 4×60’ series will follow award-winning gardener Alan Gardner as he leads a team of autistic green fingered amateurs who will use their unique skills to transform neglected gardens across the country.
Alan – who himself is diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome– believes that people on the autistic spectrum have a potentially special gift when it comes to creating beautiful spaces. Having worked as a garden designer and horticulturist, he will put together a team of trainees for the series who will work under his expert leadership.
The series will be full of takeout gardening tips and inspirational designs as these potential gardening professionals and viewers at home learn skills and practical tips from Alan.
