Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some relaxing gardening shows to watch. We've all heard of Gardeners' World, but I'm curious if there are any other great options out there? One of my personal favorites is 'Garden with Marta'—a Polish lady sharing her garden throughout the seasons and offering handy tips. I'm after something easy-going, nothing too loud or fast-paced. Just pretty plants and soothing voices, please! Any recommendations? I'm recovering from a concussion, so I'm not looking for anything too intense at the moment, but I might venture into that later!

You should give Monty Don's 'Big Dreams, Small Spaces' a go if you have Amazon Prime. It’s super chill and Monty has such a soothing voice. Also, Huw Richards on YouTube is amazing; his videos are really relaxing and full of great advice!
For some light-hearted fun, check out 'The Big Flower Fight' on Netflix or 'The Big Allotment Challenge' on BBC. They’re great to rewatch and I find them pretty calming. Also, have you seen 'Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing'? It’s not strictly gardening but really soothing and lovely to watch. It helped me relax during tough times!
The Big Flower Fight was so great! I can't believe it didn’t last longer!
You should definitely check out Beechgrove! It's got a lovely, relaxed Scottish vibe that feels much more down-to-earth than Gardeners' World. I started watching it recently, and I actually think it's better! Plus, the way they introduce segments can be really amusing—like 'Now let’s go over to Angus, who’s doing a wee jobby in the greenhouse!'
Beechgrove is definitely my pick too! It feels more accessible than the more upper-class vibe of some shows.
Where can I catch Beechgrove? It sounds like just what I'm looking for!
I love Huw Richards too! Just found out about him and I’m hooked now.
