‘This Is A Gardening Show’ Trailer: A Curious Zach Galifianakis Has Fresh Eyes & An Open Heart In His Netflix Series This April

Zach Galifianakis, the funny man best known for his viral mockumentary interview show “Between Two Ferns” and breakout comedic roles in films like “The Hangover,” is looking to literally get his hands dirty with the new Netflix series, “This Is A Gardening Show.”

Instead of reading a list of cheeky questions to various celebrities created by veteran comedy writers (you may remember that Netflix was behind the feature film version of “Between Two Ferns”), Galifianakis is looking to explore the world of gardening and foraging with fresh eyes and an open heart (alongside his charming sense of humor and abbilities to vamp with strangers) in the new show arriving on the streaming service next month.

Thankfully, the streamer has sent us a trailer for “This Is A Gardening Show” to share, giving audiences a great early preview of what to expect from the project. The producing team consists of Chris Kim alongside exec producers Frank Schema, Jon Kamen, and Galifianakis.

An official synopsis for the new streaming series via Netflix:

A refreshing and whimsical take on gardening, hosted by Zach Galifianakis. Rather than positioning himself as an expert, Galifianakis approaches the subject with curiosity and self-effacing humor, with the goal of learning alongside his audience and giving viewers valuable, accessible, and educational tools to use in their own gardens. The series blends lighthearted comedy with a sincere appreciation for people and the planet, and is ultimately about the joy of connecting with the earth.

“He is genuinely interested in how to grow stuff,” said series director Brook Linder in an official statement talking about the new Galifianakis show. “Making this show often felt like Zach’s excuse to talk to other gardeners. I kinda think his garden was struggling, and he needed help; he couldn’t get by walking up to these people in their backyard. You will see a grown man honestly gasp when shown the proper way to plant a seed. This is peak TV.”
