50 Of The Best Pics From The ‘Interesting Gardening’ Online Group
Interview
There are two things that you have to know about me. First of all, I am a huge fan of nature and I utterly love wildlife. And secondly… I am a truly terrible gardener. Frankly, just awful. If I were born a Hobbit, I’d have been kicked out of the Shire to wander the lonely trails of Middle Earth long, long ago. However, I hope to get better.
One of the most inspiring places online for gardeners everywhere, both amateur and veteran alike, is the r/gardening subreddit. It’s a community that has sunk its roots deep into the internet, having grown to nearly 4 million members since being planted all the way back in the spring of 2008.
We’ve collected some of the most impressive photos from gardens, as shared by the friendly folks of r/gardening, all to make you smile and inspire you to give gardening a shot as well, dear Pandas. These pics would make any Hobbit proud, that’s for sure. Be sure to pick out your fave photos and give them an upvote as you’re climbing down this long vine of a list. Oh, and if you’ve got a green thumb (or two!), you can tell us all about your love of gardening in the comments.
Bored Panda reached out to the moderators of r/gardening to learn a bit more about the community and its popularity. One of them, with over a decade of experience moderating the subreddit, had some great news for those of us who have trouble with plants. "There is no such thing as a green thumb or a black thumb. Anybody can grow plants. Just a little bit of attention paid will yield results," they said that everyone is fully capable of becoming a gardener. And the subreddit is there to help in case you need it.

The Guy In The Image Collects Lost Apple Varieties
Lance d'Boyle 4 years ago
Johnny Appleseed was a real person who bought up land in the opening western territories of Ohio, Kentucky. and Illinois and planted large groves of apples trees. Why, you ask. Because he knew that people would be moving west and those people would get thirsty and in the early 1800s the drink of choice for adults wasn't beer or hard spirits it was hard cider. There is a 'museum' of heirloom apples I think in W. Virginia (there are a bunch of heirloom orchards across the US) that has thousands of varieties. Apples are outcrossed so the seed from the apple will not produce the same tree or apple variety as its parent. All of the heirloom varieties are grafted plants. Finally the only true North American apple variety is the crabapple. There will be a quiz on this next Friday! You've been warned.
