What Is ThingsGreen TV and How Can You Watch It?
ThingsGreen TV is the television arm of ThingsGreen, a plant, lawn, and landscape diagnosis service hosted by Nick Federoff. If you're looking for the broadcasts, the site lists two regular slots: Saturdays at 9AM on PBS|KLCS Los Angeles, and Saturdays at 8AM on CBS|KCAL News. Episodes and news clips are also watchable online through links on the ThingsGreen site.
What the show covers
ThingsGreen positions itself as a problem-diagnosis resource rather than a general gardening lifestyle show. The stated approach is: "WE DIAGNOSE THEN HELP FIX IT." Nick Federoff describes helping homeowners, serious gardeners, and businesses fix plant, lawn, and landscape problems "using professional horticulture and contractor-tested methods—without wasting money on gimmicks."
The site also ties the show to Zone 0, describing ThingsGreen as "the trusted interpreter of Zone 0" and framing it around the idea that "you don't have to choose between wildfire preparedness and a beautiful Landscape."
Broadcast schedule
| Program | Day and time | Station |
|---|---|---|
| Things Green | Saturdays, 9AM | PBS|KLCS Los Angeles |
| In the Garden | Saturdays, 8AM | CBS|KCAL News |
Both listings appear on the ThingsGreen homepage, each with a "Watch Episodes" or "Watch News Clips" link.
Watching online
The site points to several online destinations:

There is also a Spanish-language companion, Temas Verdes con Ricardo Ortiz.
Getting a question answered
If you want a plant, lawn, or landscape problem diagnosed rather than just watched, the site gives two phone numbers:
- 1-800-405-NICK (6425) — the call-in line, described as "Talk to Nick"
- 1-800-9NewYard (800) 963-9927 — the business/office number
A fax number, 562-273-5176, is also listed. The homepage includes a "DROP US A LINE" contact section and a contact form route.
What to check before you tune in
Confirm the current schedule on the ThingsGreen site or the station pages before relying on the times above, since broadcast slots can change. If you're outside the Los Angeles area, the online episode and clip links are the practical route, since both listed stations are LA-based.
