Garden programmes on the web

kleipieper · November 2015

Good morning everyone,

Very little gardening on the web today.

All I could find was a short clip about vertical gardening in Wigan.

http://www.ardmediathek.de/tv/Faszination-Wissen/Im-Paradies-f%C3%BCr-Gem%C3%BCse/Bayerisches-Fernsehen/Video?documentId=30883802&bcastId=14912700

And a few oldies which I think I hadn't seen before.

First one about a German garden designerwho designs for public spaces.

http://www.ardmediathek.de/tv/HIER-UND-HEUTE/Die-Gartenrebellin/WDR-Fernsehen/Video?documentId=30502476&bcastId=13618324

And one about using natural predators to fight [ests.

http://www.ardmediathek.de/tv/NaturNah/NaturNah-Kampf-ums-Gew%C3%A4chshaus/NDR-Fernsehen/Video?documentId=30351156&bcastId=14049240

I'm pretty sure there will be more tomorrow.

Have a great Sunday!

Good morning everyone,

Still very mild weather here in The Netherlands, and many plants seem to be getting a bit confused by it.

I saw daisies flowering in a lawn and I've heard that people have snowdrops in flower and even some katkins.

Here are the gardening programmes that I found during today's round of the web.

RBB Gartenzeit looks at tropical plants in the botanic garden in Potsdam, shows trendy succulents, the best holly varieties, mini orchids, and explains how to get your tools ready for winter.

http://www.rbb-online.de/gartenzeit/

NDR Garten looks at house plants, tries to get rid of vine weevils, and tells what to do when you have problems with a neighbour.

http://www.mdr.de/mediathek/mdr-videos/c/video308392.html

And Jardins et Loisirs was at a cemetary. Featured plant is Tetrapanax Payrifer Rex. They also visited balconies to look at the plants you can grow there.

They also have a video about Belgian potagers.

Good morning everyone,

Still grey and mild here.

And this is what I found on the web...

Natur im Garten visited a garden with vegetables, bamboo and iron.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPRrOBW8GAM

And I found a new American programme on YouTube.

They have uploaded several episodes, which seem to be about vegetables.

Haven't had time to watch any yet though, so no idea if it's any good.

I also found a clip about growing kaki fruits.

Good morning everyone,

A gale here at the moment, brrr.

And not really anything gardening-related on the web today, as far as I could see.

But fortunately tonight we'll be able to watch The Secret History of the British Garden.

And I'm sure I'll have more from the web tomorrow.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Jardins et Loisirs visited a park in Belgium with gorgeous autumn colour. The gardeners there were planting thousands of bulbs for spring colour.

Plant of the week is the Ceanothus thyrsiflorus var. repens.

And they went to Dorset to visit gardens.
