In a teaser for the series, Galifianakis humorously offers a remedy for the human condition: gardening and "acid," though the latter may be more of a joke. Still, the actor takes a somewhat serious approach as he explores the topic with curiosity and self-deprecating humor. The show aims to uncover the “perverse” ways food is currently sourced and to shed light on the gardening process.
Throughout the episodes, Galifianakis engages in activities such as digging, harvesting, and asking questions about gardening basics. One notable moment includes him asking, "What is a tomato?" to someone more knowledgeable, highlighting his genuine curiosity and the show's accessible style.
Netflix describes This is a Gardening Show as a "refreshing and whimsical take" on gardening, created by the co-creator of Between Two Ferns. Rather than presenting himself as an expert, Galifianakis learns alongside the audience, offering viewers useful and educational tips to apply in their own gardens.
The series is directed by Brook Linder and produced by Chris Kim, with RadicalMedia collaborating with Galifianakis’s Billios Productions. Executive producers include Galifianakis himself alongside Frank Scherma and Jon Kamen from RadicalMedia.
Zach Galifianakis is represented by Brillstein Entertainment Partners, UTA, and Yorn Levine. Apart from this new series, he is set to star in AMC's The Audacity. His recent work also includes roles in Bob’s Burgers, Only Murders in the Building, Ron’s Gone Wrong, and Baskets. He is also known for co-creating the popular interview series Between Two Ferns, where he famously interviewed top celebrities like Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Charlize Theron, and Jennifer Aniston.
This is a Gardening Show is scheduled for release on Netflix on Earth Day, April 22, making it a timely addition for viewers interested in gardening and sustainability. The series promises a unique blend of humor and insight, with Galifianakis inviting audiences to rethink their relationship with food and nature.
