Ground Force

Ground Force is a BBC "lifestyle" television programme in which a team of gardeners descend on some supposedly worthy individual's place and improve the garden for the cameras within two days. Ground Force started in 1997.

Alan Titchmarsh hosted the programme between 1997 and 2002. In one episode he and his colleagues, Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh, worked on the garden of Nelson Mandela.

The team have also worked on a number of other notable projects, including:

• a garden in memory of TV presenter Jill Dando
• the New York Restoration Project garden near Ground Zero in New York
• an Old Servicemens' Home garden in Jamaica
• a Childrens' Home garden in New Delhi, India
