Official website

Toby Buckland is the main presenter on BBC Gardeners' World.

Toby's career as a gardener started on leaving school, working as a pinks and rose nurseryman at a local Devon nursery before leaving to train in horticulture first at Bicton College, Devon then later studying landscape and amenity management at Hadlow College in Kent. Further training at Cambridge University Botanic Garden led to a post as woodland supervisor.

Toby comes from a family of builders and gardeners. His grandfather was a professional gardener who grew cut flowers for the London theatres. Toby followed his grandfather into the trade, though his love of creating handmade features crafted from reclaimed and found materials he owes to his father and uncles, all lifelong builders.

TV credits include BBC 1 Garden Magic, Home Front in the Garden, UKTV's Weed It and Reap, and as resident kitchen-garden expert on Great Food Live.

Toby has penned three gardening books ~ The Garden Makeover Book (Cassell Illustrated), Garden Boundaries (Murdoch Books) and How to Make Your Garden Grow, recently revised and reprinted in spring 2009. His latest book BBC Gardeners' World: Practical Gardening Handbook (Ebury) is out in March 2010.

Toby has also designed dozens of gardens for TV and private clients and won Gold and Best in Show for his Ethical Garden at BBC Gardeners' World Live.
