    For novices, This Is a Gardening Show is perfect. It’s funny, looks beautiful and brims with such unalloyed enthusiasm that you can’t help but fall in line. I’m already making plans to show this to my kids. If it lands as hard as I think it will, the next generation of gardeners starts here.

    It is a little gem (lettuce pun intended).

    While This Is A Gardening Show has some degree of Zach Galifianakis’ brand of awkward comedy, it doesn’t overwhelm his enthusiasm for the subject and how much that enthusiasm informs each episode.

    It’s enlightening, it’s heartfelt. Episodes run about 15 minutes, and while YouTube is full of videos of comparable length where you can learn all about corn and apples and tomatoes, visit with farmers, hear jokes or find children being adorable, you’ll never find it all in such a delightful single package.
