After Fresh From the Garden ended, Joe went on to host another show on PBS about gardening called GardenSMART from 2006 through 2008. Each episode featured Lamp'l as he toured public gardens all over the country. In 2009, Lamp'l began working on the creation of a new series with the goal of attracting brand new gardeners and inspiring existing gardeners with an emphasis on organic methods and environmental stewardship. In 2010 at the Philadelphia Flower Show, Joe premiered that new show and announced it would be called Growing a Greener World.
