Fredders Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Hi guys An Australian TV show called Better Homes and Gardens confirmed with me on the weekend that they will be airing a CP segment this Friday, March 21. According to the Melbourne TV guide, the show starts at 7pm on Channel 7, then due to the AFL match, it switches to Channel 7Two at 7.30pm. The producer said that it came out pretty amazing, so I can only hope! (As this is probably a Australian show only, once it's aired I'll see if it's available to watch on their website and will give you the link.)

Neil Cornish Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is this something they have filmed using your plants? They've had the occasional segments with VFTs in the past but it would nice to see something in more depth with CPs. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredders Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Neil It should be substantial as they were filming at my house from 8.30am to 3.30pm, and said the segment could probably go for at least 5 minutes, depending on how they edit it and how much time they want it to run for. I received a confirmation email last Friday and the producer said that it looked amazing so I can only hope that it came out well. There main aim for Better Homes and Gardens was to film a garden that contains unusual plants growing in them, so I sent them a few photos of a peat bog and pond that I built in 2010 that contains some Sarras, VFT's, Drosera and Utrics. They were pleasantly surprised that you could grow them easily outside and asked if they could come around to film the peat bog, pond and my plants in my 2 greenhouses and also interview me about them. As they wanted the easiest genera to grow for the general public, they concentrated mainly on VFT's, Sarracenia, Drosera and Nepenthes, but also filmed some Cephalotus and Utricularia. Graham Ross was the presenter that came out to do the interviewing and talk about the plants. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredders Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 This is the pond 6 months after construction in 2010. 3 years later! A word of advice, don't plant flax too close to anything as most varieties have a 2-3m spread and in this case began choking the pond. Consequently they have now been removed.

Neil Cornish Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 That pond looks great! I'll definately be watching and look forward to a glimpse into your world. Congratulations, you may see a sudden spike in membership at the VCPS. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Can someone upload this to YouTube and link it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Just watched this over here and was really impressed. I don't think Better homes and gardens has ever dedicated such a section to a specialist plant group before. They must have been really taken with your collection. I've got it saved on my T-box but I think it's impossible to move it to your PC via a usb stick otherwise I'd put it on You tube. Hope you can find a link somewhere.
