Charlie Dimmock

Charlie Dimmock is no stranger to gardening TV, having famously co-hosted fellow BBC series Ground Force between 1997 and 2005.

Dimmock grew up with a passion for gardening, and decided against a course in forensic science in favour of horticultural college. Dimmock then worked at Romsey Garden Centre where she met TV producer John Thornicroft, which led to her breakthrough presenting role on Ground Force.

Dimmock has since hosted a number of gardening shows in both the UK and the US, including The Joy of Gardening, Charlie's Garden Army, and coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show.

Dimmock has also written several gardening books including Water Garden Workbook and Container Gardening, and has launched her own range of gardening equipment under the brand name In The Garden.

Most recently Dimmock has been the long-running co-presenter of Garden Rescue, fronting the show since its inception in 2016.

The Rich brothers

Harry and David Rich, affectionately known as the Rich brothers, are best known for co-presenting Garden Rescue since it began in 2016.

Hailing from rural Brecon, Wales, as well as presenting the show the two run their own landscape design studio Rich Landscapes, whose clients have included big-name brands including Chanel, Jack Wills and luxury hotel Heckfield Place. The popular duo have also won twice at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, becoming the youngest ever team to win gold in 2015.

The brothers have also released their own book Love Your Plot, which is full of conceptual designs for budding gardeners to make the most of their space, and in 2020 launched their own garden range with Habitat.

Despite proving popular with viewers, series six of Garden Rescue will be the last for the Rich brothers - but we're sure they'll be back on our screens in some form before too long.
