I never heard of Carol Klein, but send her my congratulations. What is the medal.

the medal is in recognition of the work done in Horticulture. Often they are plantsmen or women. some go to people who have done important research or breeding programmes.
the actual medal is rather pretty. looks to be made of bronze. google its image and you will see what I mean.

What an honour and so well deserved, I do like Carol, her enthusiasm is infectious and she is not afraid to get herself dirty even when in front of the camera, she comes across as a gardener not a presenter.....

So pleased for Carole to hear this news! ??? If ever anyone deserved it it is our Carole! Congratulations! ?

Her enthusiasm is tremendous & I really like seeing her on BBC Gardener's World! As others have already said, she doesn't mind at all getting her hands dirty, nor does Monty Don for that matter! ???
