Did you know that Switzerland has around 65'000 kilometres of hiking trails? That's about 1.5 times the circumference of the earth! A huge number of municipalities and volunteer organisations maintain the hiking trails and offer hikes in all the cantons.
Dig It! - Globes for Plants - September 2016
Hester Macdonald, contributing correspondent of the BlueBox team, garden designer and founder of the Swiss Gardening School, hosts our regular gardening segment, Dig It! With a wet spring and a dryish summer, many perennials in the garden are a lot taller than usual, and in need of some support. Bernhard Anliker, of the company Einzigartiges, has produced the ideal item to help out: hollow metal spheres, perfect for tucking into a border to support your plants, or just to admire on a terrace or even indoors. He met up with Hester Macdonald at the home and garden decoration show, Ornaris, in Bern, and told us all about these magic spheres.
