Lancashire gardening expert Carol Klein is looking forward to making two return trips to her native county.

On April 12th -14th, she will be joining former Ground Force team member Charlie Dimmock and TV favourite Chris Collins at the Lowry Outlet centre’s first ever Garden Party.

Some of the UK’s best-loved gardeners will be offering expert advice on how to keep gardens blooming and there will be stalls selling an abundance of high quality plants, bulbs and flowers, plus spectacular garden features and furniture.

Carol, who now lived in Devon, grew up in Walkden, near Bolton, and had her first job at the Kendal Milne department store. ‘I love to come back to Lancashire but it just doesn’t happen often enough,’ said Carol, one of the main presenters of BBC’s Gardener’s World.

Carol is appearing on Sunday, April 13. You can find out more at www.lowryoutlet.co.uk

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Carol will be opening Southport Flower Show in August.
