Flowers, flowers... everywhere!
8 August 2021
I enjoy these types of gardening programmes due to their relaxing atmosphere and laidback tone, which is why I like to see Garden Rescue (2016-) with Charlie Dimmock and the Rich Brothers whenever it comes on telly as it's just them and their crew giving people's backyards a total makeover. They're a very easy watch and can be quite soothing at times, often making you forget about the stressful worries in your life (with the tranquility of its serenity, I'd call it some much needed escapism).

Netflix's The Big Flower Fight (2020-) makes for some right good viewing as it's always a delight to see a bunch of people pottering about outside in the fresh air having fun while arranging the floral setup in beautiful nature, surrounded by an abundance of grand greenery and the whimsical wildlife that's native to the local area. In this competition series, the contestants are tasked with making lovely decorative displays comprised of nothing but fluorescent pretty flowers and they do so in a whole load of uniquely creative ways which employ all sorts of different methods (a rather nice idea for a reality show).

Gardening can be extremely therapeutic for your state of mental health and particularly does wonders for your general wellbeing, even if you're not the most endowed person with a wealth of knowledge on the topic of plants (like me, I'm relatively still a beginner). It just makes you feel good about yourself, getting off out there on a day trip exploring around a nearby meadow with tall trees in the countryside somewhere, instead of being stuck indoors all the time (your body seizing up as a result of that). If you think this might be your kind of thing, then I say give it a watch.
