Visionary Gardeners, Season 2 World Premiere!
VISIONARY GARDENERS, the television documentary series in which innovative Canadian gardeners tell their stories, returns for a second season across Canada on VisionTV over five Monday nights beginning May 6, 2024 at 9pm ET (6pm PT).
This season (5 x 30’ episodes) of the cinematic series from filmmakers Ian Toews and Mark Bradley of Victoria-based 291 Film Company, we travel from a remote bog on Vancouver Island, over the southern Gulf Islands, through the BC interior, to a twelfth-floor balcony garden in downtown Toronto, ending up in the stunning Eastern Townships of Quebec. Along the way, VISIONARY GARDENERS introduces viewers to the expansive minds of those who have brought their personal, creative visions to gardening.
In each episode of the series, we meet two visionary gardeners with different, yet related, visions. They reveal personal stories of their first experiences in a garden. They tell us of the ‘eureka’ moment when each made a garden discovery. But it is their exceptional ideas which set them on their individual gardening paths. VISIONARY GARDENERS captures the state of being that inspires their creativity by delving into the minds, beliefs, and motivations of these true visionaries.
