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.

Autumn leaves make great compost. You can buy a compost bin pretty cheaply, then simply put them in and wait. You'll be surprised how quickly they compact down ready for the next batch.
You can also use your autumn leaves as an effective mulch, just add a couple of inches of leaves on top of your flower beds, leaving a small gap around stems.
Leaf mould is good for adding to your soil, especially for potted plants and it's easy to make, although it does take time. Find a spot in your garden and pile your leaves up in layers, with an occasional layer of soil. After about a year you'll have plenty of good leaf mould.
Don't forget to save a few for the kids to get crafty with. A collage made of autumn leaves looks lovely on the wall and it's a fun winter activity.
