Matt James is a garden designer, horticulturist and university lecturer who rose to fame with Channel 4's The City Gardener and later helped Andrew Winter give hard-to-shift properties some kerb appeal in Selling Houses.
Matt's gardening career began as a teenager working on a small farm. He then went on to study at various horticultural colleges and work at nurseries. Matt was honoured in 2000 as Londoner of the Year in the field of Environment and Regeneration, in recognition of his work establishing a successful circuit of Farmers' Markets in the capital. Today his enthusiasm has led him to teaching and he lectures at a South London college.
Matt's greatest passion as a gardener is trees - he is a genuine, 21st-century tree hugger and has made it his mission in life to get as many cityfolk as possible planting trees again!
