My Real Garden provides real time gardening advice by the award winning garden designer. An associated book, entitled ‘My Real Garden‘ was released in 2021 which shared the passions, successes and failures of gardening during lockdown, the proceeds of which go to the charity Greenfingers.

Ann-Marie Powell is an award-winning garden designer and has been designing private and commercial gardens since 1998. She is a prominent figure in UK Horticulture and probably one of the most colourful.
