Speaking about appearing at the show, David, who writes his own column for Express.co.uk, told us: "I think it is probably the 25th year I've been at the Ideal Home Show and I love presenting at the show. A lot of people who go to the Ideal Home Show are specifically there to do something to their own home and garden, so it is a very friendly audience to me. I'm very pleased to see lots of people come.

"The topic that I am talking about this time is plants with superpowers. It's a part of my new book that is coming out shortly. It looks at plants that can move when you touch them, plants that can count and plants that can survive nuclear holocaust. There's a whole host of plants with unique and special abilities."

"I think the show brings in the spring. It's the show that starts in the winter and finishes in the spring because the clocks change while at the Ideal Home Show. So there's a great deal of excitement."

David writes a weekly column for the Daily Express. He has recently shared five jobs that should be done in March, necessities to make your garden come to life and the top six evergreen plants to brighten gardens all year round.

Keep your lawn looking fresh

Sharing some of his top tips for keeping a garden looking fresh in changing seasons, David shared: "The lawn is the first thing. The first spring cut to freshen up the garden is a good start.

"In fact, when grass is cut, the scent of cut grass is something that makes us more and more happy by engaging plants. It makes us think of the holidays coming up. The lawn is one of the key things. Getting it cut and tidy makes a big, big difference."

Plant some seeds

David added that now is the perfect time to start planting seeds, explaining: "There's a lot of people sowing seeds now. We're just waiting for the frost to finish but sowing seeds on kitchen windowsills, such as tomatoes or chillies to get them germinated and ready to grow is a very good start."

Refreshing plants in containers

A third tip that David shared was brightening up your flower pots. The gardening expert advised: "Another focus is plants in containers. At the end of the winter, refreshing containers with early spring flowering plants.

"Things like daffodils and tulips, but also things like winter flowering pansies and violas can really brighten up the front of the house. So, replanting containers for spring colour."

David Domoney will be appearing at the Ideal Home Show, on hand to offer lots of top tips, live Q&A’s and demonstrations throughout the 17-day event at Kensington Olympia. David’s fun insights can all be learned about at this year’s Ideal Home Show. https://www.idealhomeshow.co.uk/
