The Great Garden Revolution: who is Poppy Okotcha?
Poppy, a former model, has built up quite the fan base on Instagram thanks to her gorgeous garden shots and top tips for transforming your plants and outside space. Poppy is also no stranger to TV as she's made a number of appearances on Gardeners' World alongside national treasure, Monty Don, and is also a regular contributor to the Royal Horticultural Society podcast.
Poppy is keen to use her platform on the show wisely. She said on Instagram: "I hope, as a mixed race young woman, by occupying a visible space in growing & sustainability I am challenging the system, setting a precedent, opening the door to people who may never have considered this world was for them.
"I wish I'd turned the telly onto a young black female gardener with natural hair when I was 14. A gardener who used her body for its strength and stood for helping to change the world. I hope that through this show the story of how we can reconnect with the land and all its inhabitants will reach many homes."
