Christine Walkden

Christine Walkden is a gardener who was born on 07 April 1955 in Rishton, Lancashire. 

Her parents ran a Sports Outfitter shop and had no interest in gardening.

A School lesson where she was given a Crocus in a yogurt pot was to get her interested in gardening.

They had a small front garden at home and soon Christine was looking after this as well as several neighbouring gardens. 

Christine got her first allotment at 11 years old where she grew flowers and vegetables that she sold locally.
