However, in a recent interview, Frances revealed that she "came to gardening quite late." She told One magazine: "Having had two failed attempts at the ages of six and seven when I tried to 'help' my mum and got in trouble, I never even thought about it again until I saw the job for an apprentice gardener at the age of 19, applied, turned up for the interview, had a walk around the garden and immediately knew it was what I wanted to do. I luckily got the job and haven't looked back since."
