Sprouts Friday Featured Favorite: What Vivi Did Next

Several years ago, Sprouts posted our 20 Favorite YouTube Gardeners. It's consistently our most popular post. Since then, more gardeners have shared their wisdom and gardens on YouTube. Each Friday, we will feature one garden channel we find inspiring.

This week's featured YouTube Gardener is somewhat new to YouTube, but you've seen Vivi on Sean's Allotment Garden. Now she's started her own channel "What Vivi Did Next."

Hiking Mt. Tom in Woodstock Vermont

Some scenes from our hike up Mt. Tom in Woodstock Vermont. It's a lovely hike, much of it on carriage roads with a beautiful view at the top of Woodstock village.

This weeks bouquets from the garden-Portland, OR

This week the summer annuals have begun to put on a spectacular show. This year I have been experimenting with growing a cutting garden. Among the flowers blooming are some old fashion favorites; cosmos, lavender, snapdragons, cleome and cosmos. I have been learning how to do simple hand tied bouquets by viewing videos like the one linked to this post.
