Thanks to Mel who introduced me to this charming, gentle gardening show. I've learned a lot in just the first episode.

Love this older British gardening series.
My mentor in the nursery business was an Americanized version of Mr. Dodson. Only my mentor, Art Rich, would stand & scratch his back on a greenhouse post telling stories whilst lighting his pipe. Miss you, Art. youtu.be/pQ0wQh6FUvU?...
