Watch Online: Visionary Gardeners Season 2 Premiere Episode!

In case you missed the broadcast premiere on VisionTV, the Season 2 premiere episode is now available to watch online (available online until June 5, 2024).

Visionary Gardeners, S2E201: “Pruning Things Back”
Gardening legend Marjorie Harris has spent over fifty years tending the same plot of land while writing best-selling books and journalism on the subject. Now in her mid-80s, she’s made the difficult decision to downsize and say farewell to her beloved home garden. She embarks on the next chapter of her life (and maybe even a new book!), gardening on a balcony twelve stories up in the air in downtown Toronto.

John Thompson’s design aesthetic originates from his many years spent in Japan, where he worked as a carpenter and studied gardens. He specializes in constructing serene pathways, stone stairs, and wooden structures with the perfect gardening views. He has designed gardens for many celebrities, often building them around places of meditation.

Meet a Remarkable Group of Creative Gardeners in Season 2 of Visionary Gardeners

“The real challenge of making Visionary Gardeners Season 2 was narrowing it down to just ten,” said producer/director Ian Toews. “We meet so many excellent gardeners across Canada, so those we followed this season are a just the current cross section of many more. This series strives to film people who really push against the definitions of what gardening is. So, we have a garden designer who is more interested in rocks than plants, another who propagates tiny bog plants, and another who uses her garden more like an outdoor art gallery — just to name a few.”
