Hey folks! I'm on the hunt for some TV shows that focus on gardening and actually teach practical skills. I'm curious about recommendations that are great for both beginners and seasoned gardeners. Have you come across any hidden gems that really helped you improve your gardening techniques?

For me, 'Gardener’s World' is a must-watch. I also recommend checking out HortTube on YouTube. The host, Jim, is knowledgeable and he offers a 'Learn to Garden' series that I think is really valuable. Just be cautious with some other popular YouTube channels; not all of them provide reliable information, and some can mislead beginners with incorrect advice. But if you're looking for something fun, 'Grow Cook Eat' is entertaining, though I’d say it's more suited for novices like me!
A classic choice is definitely 'Gardeners' World'! It's full of tips and inspiration for all skill levels. If you're into YouTube, I’d also check out channels like Epic Gardening, Self Sufficient Me, Garden Answer, and The Permaculture Gardener. They have tons of practical advice and are quite accessible for beginners.
I believe there are some local or PBS gardening shows that are worth watching. I've noticed that 'This Old House' sometimes features segments dedicated to gardening, which can be pretty insightful.
Totally agree about HortTube! Jim really knows his stuff, and it's refreshing to see someone who doesn’t just regurgitate what they've heard. Plus, he has a great way of explaining everything clearly.
