Alan Titchmarsh Love Your Garden Vitacress Herbs

Vitacress' herbs in position 

Herb supplier Vitacress featured on Alan Titchmarsh’s Love Your Gardenshow on ITV this week as part of a programme to revamp the garden of Afghanistan veteran and Gurkha Hari Budha Magar.

The company’s herbs were used by Titchmarsh and his team to create a herb garden for Magar, a double amputee who had previously struggled to access his garden.

Inspired by Nepal, the new garden was designed to be “invigorating and pleasant”, with the herbs planted in recycled filing cabinets beside sunflowers.

Millions of viewers witnessed the airing of the programme on 12 July.

Vitacress’ head of marketing Tony Reid said: “The premise behind the programme is a great idea, creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces for people who really deserve them. We were more than happy to provide some herbs for the fantastic garden the team at ‘Love Your Garden’ created. We hope Hari enjoys it.”
