Having grown up in Leicestershire and graduated in Drama and English from the universities of Hull and Exeter, Tim taught both subjects in Cornwall before joining the team launching BBC Radio Cornwall in 1983.\u00a0 He became a journalist, producer, editor and also a popular presenter there for many years, winning several major national accolades including two Sony\/Radio Academy Gold Awards. He also presented programmes for, and contributed to, all five BBC national radio networks, especially for BBC Radios Two and Four and also hosted news and presented features on television for BBC One network and BBC One South West. Tim went on to coach journalism and presentation skills for the BBC across the UK and in Europe and for some years was an Associate Lecturer in Journalism and Media at Falmouth University.\u00a0<\/p>

His freelance career has encompassed corporate presentations, voice overs and media training, working throughout the UK as well as in the USA and Europe. \u00a0He hosts author\/audience events at Cheltenham, Stratford Upon Avon and other major literary festivals and has interviewed hundreds of novelists including John le Carre, PD James and Alexander McCall-Smith, as well as non-fiction writers such as chef Jamie Oliver, actor Dame Sheila Hancock and broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan.<\/p>

Specialising in travel, lifestyle and gardening, Tim writes features and articles for national newspapers and magazines including \u2018RHS The Garden\u2019, \u2018Country Living\u2019 and \u2018BBC Countryfile\u2019 and has also written four books; \u2018A Year in Cornwall with Tim Hubbard\u2019 (2000), \u2019The Great Gardens of Cornwall: the People and their Plants\u2019 (2017), \u2018Secret Gardens of Cornwall\u2019 (2023) and \u2018A History of Caerhays Castle (2024). He brokered a unique partnership between the Royal Horticultural Society and the BBC to create a show garden at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show built by BBC gardening presenters themselves. In connection with his books Tim has also hosted bespoke garden tours of Cornwall and, with the BBC and Holland America, in Canada and the USA.<\/p>

With his architect husband Nick Purchase, Tim lives in the far south west of Cornwall, in a house with its garden on the edge of the cliff overlooking Mounts Bay and out to the Atlantic. A keen gardener himself, in his own garden he grows \u201canything which can survive the storms\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Month by month, Tim\u2019s book follows the Cornish year and takes its reader to events, festivals and locations from Land\u2019s End to the Tamar. With wit, humour and a wry smile, Tim explains the perils of being asked to judge the baking competition when he opens a local fete, the challenges of walking the coastal path and the joy of being in Padstow on May Day. Sue Lewington\u2019s evocative line drawings capture the spirit of place perfectly – from Mousehole\u2019s Christmas lights to Helston\u2019s famous Flora Day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Great Gardens is a group of the very best major gardens and estates open to the public in Cornwall. When its members marked their 25th anniversary Tim was asked to write about the plants and history of each garden, as well as the people (owners, Head Gardeners and others) who\u2019d contributed to them over the years. The book also pays tribute to the work done to establish Cornish gardens as an important element within Cornwall\u2019s visitor economy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith breathtaking photographs by Rob and Jo Whitworth, Tim takes us on private tours of twenty of the county\u2019s lesser known gardens. Some are secret because they\u2019re hidden behind high walls or in remote locations and some are simply little known. Tim reveals gardens where plants survive in tiny crevices on granite cliffs, tracks down sophisticated Italian riviera planting schemes, and swelters in lush sub-tropical jungles. He admires immaculate Edwardian walled vegetable plots; open prairie planting and historic woodland and even goes to gardens where the wellbeing of the gardeners is as important as that of the plants they tend.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Caerhays Castle, on Cornwall\u2019s beautiful tranquil south coast, overlooks its private estate and beach and out to sea. It\u2019s home to the Williams family, one of Cornwall\u2019s most important dynasties, who became famous for their pioneering work during the county\u2019s tin and copper-mining boom. The Castle and its globally important gardens are now open to the public. Tim\u2019s book tells the story of the generations of the Williams family in Cornwall, the part they\u2019ve played in the county\u2019s history and the extraordinary home in which they still live.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
