Chelsea Flower Show
3rd May 2007 Janet Street Porter

Excitement is mounting with the news that one of the raunchiest, most outrageous and just plain sexy men in rock is to have a garden bearing his name.

Step forward Iggy Pop. In my wildest dreams, I would never have envisaged the man who made crowd-diving an art form, as a chap who would be holding a hoe.

Designed by former singer-songwriter Angus Thompson, the garden will feature an arc of water programmed to the beat of Iggy's tune.

By the way, the garden is sponsored by Ecclesiastical Insurance - you couldn't make it up.
