UKTV Gardens: What's your favourite style of garden / garden design?
Anne-Marie: "Reclaimed messy meadow. I just like gardens that look lived in and take their lead from nature. I like using plants that are native and grow naturally in the environments they're supposed to grow in. Simple as that, really."

UKTV Gardens: What is the coolest plant or flower in the world? And why?
Anne-Marie: "Hemerocallis, or day lilies. There's so many and hundreds of colours and they just bloom forever - even though each bloom only lasts for about a day, they bloom throughout the whole summer. They associate well with so many other things too. And do you know what? You can even eat them."

UKTV Gardens: What has been your biggest gardening cock-up?
Anne-Marie: "To be honest, I haven't made all that many. One of my landscapers did once have a whole load of York Stone delivered and it ended up going through the front garden and straight into the cellar."

UKTV Gardens: Is the changeable British weather a gardener's friend or foe?
Anne-Marie: "Friend, of course. We get so much rain so it's bound to make things grow."

UKTV Gardens: Who is your gardening hero? And why?
Anne-Marie: "Thomas Church - because, as he always said, gardens are for people."

UKTV Gardens: John Steinbeck once said: "There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp." Would you agree?
Anne-Marie: "Absolutely. Nothing like soft damp earth."

UKTV Gardens: What would you be doing if you weren't doing this for a living?
Anne-Marie: "Something in music. DJing, probably. I'd like to be Jo Whiley."

UKTV Gardens: Which famous people's gardens have you worked in?
Anne-Marie: "I did Lennox Lewis's garden once."

UKTV Gardens: Alan Titchmarsh once joked his obituary would read "The Man Who Planked Britain". What will yours read?
Anne-Marie: "Wild by nature."

UKTV Gardens: Is decking chav?
Anne-Marie: "Certainly is. But that's why we love it!"
