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.

They don't grow too big either so they're ideal for growing indoors. Even with the smallest of space you can pick a dwarf variety. Chilis need plenty of water, so choose a clean plastic pot that won't absorb water from the soil, and make sure it has good drainage. If it doesn't have holes in the bottom, make some. Multi purpose compost from any garden centre is perfect for growing chilis in.
You can encourage germination by putting the seeds between a couple of sheets of damp kitchen roll for a few days until they swell or grow small sprouts. Next pot them up a couple of inches apart, and cover with a thin layer of compost.
As we've said before, chilis love moisture so keep them well watered. Keep them in a sunny position and fingers crossed in a few weeks you'll start to see some shoots appear. Continue to keep them well watered and you can feed them monthly to get the best results. In about three months you should have a crop of chilis ready to cook with!
