ITV’s Love Your Garden star grows the celebrity line-up at this year’s Southport Flower Show

Southport Flower Show are delighted to announce ITV’s Love Your Garden’s Katie Rushworth will make an appearance at this year’s show on Sunday 21st August.

Katie is an integral part of the successful presenting/gardening team from ITV’s Love Your Garden.

Katie found her passion and skill for gardening when she first did garden maintenance locally in Yorkshire. She decided to turn this love affair with gardening into a career after studying horticulture at night school and working part time at her local garden centre.

Katie’s enthusiasm for gardening comes across clearly for all to see on the ITV show. She has excellent plant knowledge and a great eye for design, function and beauty and this is conveyed to the watching audience with humour, expression and accessibility. She thrives on working outdoors in naturally beautiful habitats.

Katie will join a great line-up of special guests this year. On Thursday we have BBC Gardeners’ World Presenter Adam Frost. Friday we have Strictly’s Janette and Aljaž. Saturday we have The Drag Queen Gardener Daisy Desire and Hairy Biker Si King cooking live. Sunday we have children’s TV presenter Justin Fletcher and Great British Menu finalist and Ready Steady Cook chef Ellis Barrie. More to be announced soon.

Alan Adams, General Manager of Southport Flower Show and Victoria Park said “We are looking forward to Katie coming to this year’s show and sharing her knowledge and expertise with our visitors. In previous years we’ve had ITV’s Love Your Garden presenters Alan Titchmarsh and David Domoney at the show so to have Katie join us as well is fantastic. We know she will be a hit.”

Plans for this year’s show are well underway and the combination of show gardens, floral displays, cookery demonstrations, arena entertainment, live music and much more makes Southport Flower Show a great day outdoors for the whole family this summer.
