I love P. Allen Smith its to bad the HGTV and even are local PBS station don't show his hole show we only get the 30 mint version

in a nut shell the reason i think theirs no dedicated Gardening net work is well lets face it there arn't allot of us out there. and to the non gardening telly net work exec whats there to talk about you dig a hole and put the plaint in it water a bit give it some food and thats the way they look at it they figure the design portion is covered by the DIY channels but really it isn't we know that other then P Allen Smith who really goes in to any in depth detail on how to landscape sure they show you lots of pretty pictures but no one really talks about the principals of line space negative space texture color and culture so on and so forth this would require that you have viewers that are interested in the deeper more complicated aspects of gardening and lets face it HGTV and DIY don't want to get that deep in to it the show only the most basic info even there home DIY shows are like kindergarten to me

sorry to say but your best bet is to read books on the subject take some design courses at your local com-university and do like us share your experiences with each other its a time honered way of learning and a heck of a lot of fun if you ask me how els would i have ever met such nice folks as you all and when was the last time the HGTV sent you a plant for the heck of it

PS this is an after thought but if you realy want to learn from TV about how to landscap try waching a show on painting landscaps like Gary Spits its in the procese of learnign how to organise the space on a canvis can teach you alot on how to navagat the desine procese of gardning
