Founded by English gardener John Tebbs, The Garden Edit redraws the traditional boundaries associated with shopping and the garden by bringing together a modern collection of products that embody functionality, timelessness and beauty.
What an amazing gardening-video, published by "Nowness, for the culturally curious"... Enjoy.
The Zurich Succulent Plant Collection is one of the most impressive of its kind, covering more than 4750sqm and displaying over 6500 plants. We visited the collection and brought our good old 35mm camera.

It is named after Paeon, a character from Greek mythology who was turned into a peony flower. The peony is more than just a pretty flowering plant; extracts from the peony have been used in both traditional and modern medicine. It's highly regarded in both China and Japan and is often featured in Chinese and Japanese works of art.
It is said that mischievous nymphs hide in amongst the petals of the peony so you may want to keep an eye out for these little troublemakers!
The peony has a reputation for being hard to grow, but with a little attention you really shouldn't have too much trouble and the resulting floral display is well worth any extra effort you may have to put in. Once established they should reward you with flowers for many years to come.
