Nick Hamilton’s father was Geoff – who appeared on BBC Gardeners World for seventeen years. 

And Nick’s written two books all about growing up with a horticultural legend for a dad ‘and all the weird and wonderful things that happened along the way.’

Geoff created Barnsdale Gardens in the East Midlands – where BBC Gardeners’ World was filmed. 

And then Nick took over when he died and opened it up to the public. 

He wrote about his and his father’s life in The Right Genes which came out in 2022.

And he’s written a follow up The Right Jeans.

To be in with a chance of winning both, fill in the form below.

A Guardian article once "doffed its cap" to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back. Our job is to help keep it that way.
