Vigorous plants can grow so fast they become floppy. That's the case in Walter's garden: his crinum has become too floppsy. Walter shows how to make a "girdle" to surround the leaves and flowers and hold them upright.

A Tea Garden and A Pizza Garden in Pots

If only we had smell-o-vision! Walter follows his nose with Amanda Campbell at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to visit plants that can be grown to make tea as well as a nice presence in a landscape. Moving along the culinary path, Amanda shows him a "pizza pot", which has been planted with most of the ingredients you’d need for a delicious pizza!

Repairing a Lightning Strike

Bang! Boom! You sit bolt upright in your bed during a thunderstorm and realize that the tree near your house has been hit by lightning.

Walter dons a disguise to visit his local house of spirits and collect the boxes he needs to demonstrate how to move plants from one home to another.
