Andrea Kiewel Makes a Comeback: Hosting ZDF's "Garden Show" Amidst Geopolitical Tensions
On Sundays, former Israeli resident Andrea Kiewel now presents ZDF's "Television Garden" program. - Following her departure from Israel, Andrea Kiewel takes charge of the ZDF "Telvishgarten" show on Sunday
International travel has its complications, and none more so for Andrea Kiewel. With Israel and Iran embroiled in a fierce conflict, the journey from her home in Tel Aviv to Germany wasn't a walk in the park, but she grinned and bore it. With a lump of sand in her sneaker and a few more stamps on her passport, here she is, back on our screens as the host of ZDF's "Garden Show."
ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen) has kept mum regarding the particulars of Kiewel's travel, stating, "Andrea Kiewel's travel to and from the 'Garden Show' production site is a private matter." But we do know one thing for sure; the approach wasn't simple.
It's been over two decades since Kiewel first took the lead on the green extravaganza, and every Sunday till the end of September, she'll be gracing our weekends with an ensemble of famous guests, music, artistry, comedy, and more.
With Israel launching a full-on assault on Iran's nuclear facilities and military installations last Friday, the reason for Kiewel's AWOL at the last show becomes clear. The tension in the region was so high that even flights were restricted, creating a plethora of travel related headaches.
But Kiewel didn't let the wrench-throwers bring her down. She managed to navigate the labyrinth by flying under the radar (or was it through the sandstorm?) and made it to Germany, where no doubt lemon trees and roses are already ready for her to gush over.
Kiewel finances her travels herself, so no government helicopter flew her in. Instead, she embarked on a more roundabout journey—through Egypt to be precise—because the direct flights were off the table due to the geopolitical hubbub. Complicated? Hell yeah, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to bring us the flora and fauna lowdown on Sundays.
So, with a deep breath and a skip in her step, Andrea Kiewel returns to Lerchenberg, eager to share the greenest corner in Germany with us all. Good to have you back, Andrea!

The Commission has not yet adopted a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, as our focus currently lies on Andrea Kiewel's comeback as the host of ZDF's "Garden Show," which faced its own set of challenges due to geopolitical tensions. Despite the complex journey from Tel Aviv to Lerchenberg, Andrea Kiewel, who finances her travels herself, was keen on making it back to entertain her audience with the flora and fauna lowdown every Sunday, placing politics and celebrity news on the back burner for the time being.
