Spring has sprung (sort of, brr) so here are 5 great YouTube channels for gardening videos and learning about all things green!

It all depends on where you are of course, but spring generally connotes sunshine, new life and greenery. After a long, dark winter of restrictions and lockdowns, why not get outside, breathe the fresh air, and have a go at growing some plant friends? Not everyone has the luxury of a garden or outdoor space, but you can still experience horticultural joy indoors – everyone can have a go at a spot of gardening!

YouTube is a fantastic online resource for learning new skills, like yoga or game design, and gardening is no exception. We’ve put together a list of our 5 favourite gardening channels for you to check out today.
