May 2010

Susan Morrison (a good twitter friend of mine) took a film making class and for her project, she created this great video all about my friend Rebecca Sweet of Gossip in the Garden and Harmony in the Garden.  I love how this video tells the story of the gardener and reveals why some us are so passionate about gardening. Also, I have visited this garden and it truly is lovely and is a great expression of the wonderful person that Rebecca is.

Both of these women are inspirational. It is their life’s work to create beautiful spaces for people, but I love how they share their own gardens in their videos, photos and on their blogs!

If you have trouble viewing it here, you can watch it on YouTubeand get the BIG version.

You can also follow Rebecca and Susan on their Twitter accounts:  @sweetrebecca and @susanLmorrison, respectively.

GGW_PromoShot1LOW Did you hear the buzz in the gardening world over the weekend?

Our new gardening series, "Growing A Greener World" launched on Saturday!

The show stars Joe Lamp'l, Patti Moreno and Nathan Lyon.

It is presented by Blue Ridge PBS and airing on Public Television stations across the nation. (Distributed by American Public Television) You can visit our website to find more information on the show. There is even a link to access your local PBS station to see if and when they are airing it in your area.

As the Associate Producer of the show, I can tell you first hand that we have had SO much FUN over the past 6 months filming episodes and can't wait to show you all the wonderful places and gardeners we have discovered. (If you want to hear Joe and I explain what the show is about go HERE)

If you can't find the show listed on your local PBS station, CONTACT THEM and request it. Remember you are the boss with PBS! Be persuasive. We have heard several success stories already from people who pushed until they got it up on their own stations.

But if that does not work, fear not. You can watch the show on our website a few days after each air date.
