There is no one in the world quite like Paul James. The first HGTV garden show host, Paul was destined to become a garden legend in his own right. With an irreverent sense of humor and a passion for gardening organically, he is still venerated as a beloved garden mentor by the many fans of his HGTV series, Gardening by the Yard.
When his series was cancelled, Paul presented fresh options to the broadcasting community, but the world of media had shifted in favor of the under-30 crowd and a craze for home makeovers.
So, what has this fun-loving garden master been doing since his HGTV days? Joe Lamp’l gets a firsthand update when Paul shows up for a tour and a chat at the GardenFarm™.
The two share some garden tips and more than a few laughs and insights into the life and times of garden legend Paul James.

Over the years, Paul and host Joe Lamp’l have become fast friends. They enjoyed some quality gardening time together at Joe’s GardenFarm for this fun and educational episode.
