  • Mark Lane is a British television gardening presenter, landscape designer and writer. Born in Hertfordshire in 1969 he is also a landscape designer, and the UK’s first BBC gardening presenter who uses a wheelchair. He was born with spina bifida and in 2002 he had a car accident which led to operations on his spine and resulted in his having to use a wheelchair full time. After graduating from University College London in Art History his career led him to work at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) where he eventually became the Publishing Director. After this he moved to the Arts publisher Thames & Hudson as Managing Editor. His love for gardening led him to retrain as a garden designer via an Open Learning course. Once retrained he combined writing for gardening magazines with gardening. His break into TV presenting occurred after the BBC saw one of his articles and contacted him to see if he would be interested in presenting. He is now the only disabled presenter on Gardeners' World. He is a finalist for 'Celebrity of the Year' in the National Diversity Awards 2021. He lives in Kent with his partner Jason. (en)
