It was during a trip in this year (April 2008) to the Netherlands when I was searching for new interesting garden motives and topics for our TV Garden program, when I met Canada`s most renowned garden-expert STEVE WHYSALL. For both of us it became quickly clear that we were on the same gardening path. Now that we undertaken this first step Steve´s stories and advice will soon be appearing in print as well as audio on Mo´s grüne Welt!
Without any further to do, welcome Steve!
Es war in diesem Jahr (April 2008) auf einer Reise in den Niederlanden. Ich suchte neue , interesssante Gärten, Motive und Themen für unsere TV-Gartensendungen und lernte dabei den bekanntesten Gartenexperten Canadas kennen: Steve Whysall.
Schnell war uns beiden klar, dass wir in puncto Garten gemeinsame Wege einschlagen müssen. Der erste Schritt ist nun getan – Steve wird regelmäßig auf Mo´s grüne Welt zu lesen und zu hören sein. Herzlich willkommen Steve in Mo´s grüne Welt!
