Søren Ryge Petersen is a Danish television presenter, journalist, and writer.[1]
Born in Gram, South Denmark, on 31 July 1945, Petersen grew up some 50 km further south in Achtrup, Schleswig-Holstein.[2]
The holder of an M.A. in Danish language from Aarhus University,[3] he is a self-taught horticulturalist and was editor from 1978 to 1990 of the magazine Haven ("The Garden") published by The Danish Garden Society.[4] He has also written for the leading daily newspaper Politiken.[3]
Petersen began working for the Danish national broadcasting corporation DR in 1977,[3] and in 1988 got his own show on DR television: DR Derude ("Out There"), a gardening programme in which a camera crew followed him around his own garden at Djursland as he demonstrated how he looked after it and talked about the flowers and crop plants it contained.[5] In 1992, the programme went live under the name of DR Derude Direkte, later renamed Søren Ryge.[3] Edition number 100 was broadcast on 6 August 2008 and presented a series of clips from the earlier shows.
As well as DR Derude, Søren Ryge Petersen has made a series of other programmes for DR,[5] presenting the nature of the world and its people, with particular emphasis on the portrayal of people living simple lives.[3]
