Latchford Locks Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi All I have had this nagging question inside my head for days ,but no amount of googling can help. So here goes.. As a child my Mum took me to the Garden Centre I think it may have been the opening? And this famous gardener did the honours,He had a "Jimmy Edwards Type" moustache and he was certainly famous judging by the turnout. But I can't remember his name Can anyone one shed any light ???

Bazj Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Found a chap called Christopher Lloyd (not the one from Back to the future)... he was a bit well known as a gardener and had a moustache too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I think I've found him.... chap called Harry Wheatcroft.... he was known as "The King of the Roses" back in the 1960's and he ticks all the boxes; era and Jimmy Edwards style moustache!!
