}}Bob Flowerdew is an organic gardener and television and radio presenter. He is a regular panel member of BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time. He has nearly an acre of garden in Dickleburgh, Norfolk, England, where he lives with his wife, Vonetta, a care worker, and their twins, Italia and Malachi.[1][2]

He is known as one of Britain's leading organic gardeners. He is the son of a farmer and his family have been working the land in East Anglia since before the time of the Tudors. After graduating in financial management, he worked his way around Europe and North America, becoming fascinated by the different gardening and farming methods, returning to pick grapes with one French family for 12 successive years.
