I had the great fortune of being in touch with some of the most respected garden writers this week.

All of them are award winners and they are appearing on this week’s Garden World Report show!

 

In addition to this, I am also covering three international garden stories of the week:

Fiskars has opened the registration process for the 2010 Garden Grants for community gardens in USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Deadline is Feb. 19, 2009.

Wimpole Hall Gardens in Cambridgeshire, England is allowing their  male garden caretakers to pee in the garden on a straw bale that is used in their composting program. What will be next, public “number two?”

“Black Friday” is upon us again this week. I’m encouraging people to skip the malls and head to their Botanical gardens.

Botanical gardens usually have stores that sell plants!

Enjoy the show!
