Gardening legend Alan Titchmarsh is joining the mass migration of TV talent to YouTube. Working with leading factual indie Middlechild Productions, Titchmarsh is launching a new channel called Gardening with Alan Titchmarsh in April 2025. Intriguingly, this is also Middlechild’s first YouTube first project.
Titchmarsh is the one of the most recognisable name in gardening and the new channel will see the horticultural rockstar pass on his knowledge and experience in a series of videos aimed to inspire gardeners around the world.
Weekly YouTube episodes will offer viewers a mix of entertaining ‘how-to videos’, informative tips, specific masterclasses and accessible advice from Titchmarsh, becoming an exciting and fresh online resource for new and experienced gardeners.
To maximise engagement with the audience, videos will be published simultaneously on newly created YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok accounts. Titchmarsh’s ambition for the channel is to reach a broad spectrum of gardeners from first time novices to experienced gardeners from around the UK and globally. The series will also have the potential for brand tie-ins and product placements.
Titchmarsh said: “I’d never have guessed that I would become a 75-year-old influencer and be hosting on the world’s biggest streaming platform. I’ve been gardening for more than 60 years, and this is the perfect place to pass on that knowledge to an international audience of all ages. YouTube has become the go to platform for people wanting to learn new skills so where better for me to inspire gardeners.”
David Sumnall, founder and CEO, Middlechild Productions added: “This will be Middlechild’s first YouTube project and we couldn’t be more excited to be working alongside a broadcasting legend in this new venture.”
