The Launch of "The Next Generation Gardener" on YouTube!!

So, it finally came together!!

The first pilot episode of "The Next Generation Gardener" was posted about a week ago and I was joined by friends, both old and new, to help launch it.

This project came about when Hyejin Yun (my photographer friend who I invited to take photos at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show) wanted to venture doing videos and film production. She wanted to produce an informative video that features me as a young gardener talking about what I do. We decided on a simple subject (container gardening) that aspiring gardeners could take on.

With 2 months of planning, writing the script, Hyejin taking classes and learning about the equipment needed, etc., we filmed everything in one day and then Hyejin went to work  on editing. For a 7 minute clip, it takes so much work! Heck, even 30 second commercials on TV can take much longer. 

Have a watch and let me know what you think. Your feedback will be most welcomed!!






Now check out the blooper reel:

2012 Northwest Flower and Garden Show: Part 3: Through the Eyes of a Non-Gardener

11 Hyejin photographs here comes the sun
My friend, Hyejin Yun, joined me again at this year's press tour for the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. A far cry from her typical desk job working for Microsoft, but as an avid photographer, she's applying all the skills she's learned by taking photographs of landscapes, people, random artifacts, and comes to the show to treat her eyes with something far more compelling than codes and email complaints.

It's always fun to share my world with someone who's not too familiar with it, yet has utmost respect for it. I fill her in on the technical aspects of the show, but I also have to turn off the "plant snob professional" mode  so I can let her explore and discover the beauty that is the Northwest Flower and Garden Show on her own and develop her own connection with plants and flowers. The subjects she chooses to photograph are intriguing to me because it lets me look into her eyes and what she sees.

It's the last day of the show and I'm headed down to soak up the show and stir things up a bit. ;-)
