Charlie
Dimmock started
her career by training for four years as an amenity
horticulturalist in Winchester and Somerset, as well as a year
at the Chelsea Physic Garden. |
| She was working at a
water gardening nursery and built a pond for the Meridian television
series Grass Roots when television producer John Thornicroft
discovered her. He didn't forget her and five years later when he
was putting together Ground Force he made her part of the team. The
rest is history. |
|
In an interview for the BBC Gardening
website, Charlie revealed that she doesn't have a television at
home. And when asked if she prefers being a gardener, or a gardening
TV presenter, she said: "Swings and roundabouts. I get
frustrated because I don't get to do enough gardening, but then you
get lots to do sometimes. You get to meet lots of people and see
people's gardens that you don't normally see." |
|
In recent years, Charlie has enjoyed
some success with a local ITV Meridian series called 'River Walks',
in which she walks along various rivers in Southern England,
visiting landmarks and attractions along the way, as well as meeting
people who live and work on the rivers.
