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.

I used to live with a vegetarian. She’d not eaten meat since she was a young girl. Then one day, after we’d been living together for about three years, I went away for a weekend. When I came back, I asked what was new. “Sally’s not a vegetarian anymore,” said our other flatmate. “Oh really?” I said, somewhat surprised. “Yeah. She just went out and bought a chicken, roasted it, and ate the whole thing.”
I just about fell on the floor. But since then, many more of my ex-vegetarian friends have joined her. There’s Leena, who broke her lifelong vegetarianism by buying a Wimpys burger at the bowling alley (what a way to start) - or Sheena, who decided that after 10 years of not eating meat, she missed filet steak too much – so she bought one (better).
But there are a lot of reasons to be vegetarian – whether it’s due to issues around animal treatment, too many farting cows (it’s a serious climate change issue) or simply because you don’t like meat. And there are probably more people who choose to become vegetarian than there are those who drop off the wagon. But what should you do if you become a vegetarian and you own a carnivorous plant?
