Climate Change, Grow your own, Allotments, Vegetables

At last something is happening in the world of gardening TV.
Tomorrow at 9 am sees the launch of The Horticultural Channel.tv, a new television micro-channel to be broadcast for the first time on Sky and Freesat.
Programmes can even be downloaded via iTunes.
THC.tv provides programmes for amateur gardeners and allotment holders throughout the UK. It offers practical advice on how to grow vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers plus information on how to keep chickens and bees.http://thehorticulturalchannel.info/current-programme/

Filmed all over the UK the programmes offer an insight into the people and the places that make up the network of allotment sites throughout the country.

I really hope this new channel does well and is followed by more inspirational gardening TV programmes .The UK is  a nation of gardeners and yet our screens are just full of soaps and sport – time for TV companies to wake up and smell the roses I think – anyone else agree on this one?

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
