We’re celebrating Earth Day! Barbara Pierson, manager of the renowned White Flower Farm dishes about the new tomato called Chocolate Sprinkles, and we tell you how you can get an exclusive “At Last” rose bush from White Flower Farm*. Plus, gardening tips galore from the Connecticut Garden Journal’s Charlie Nardozzi. Charlie’s new book is called Foodscaping, and it’ll teach you how mix edibles with ornamental plants, turning your yard into a delicious foodscape.

I caught a bit of your show. While I intended to make my usual yearly pledge through the mail, the White’s Flower Farm certificate encouraged me to pledge by phone, a little more than usual but balanced by the book and certificate reward. Thanks, Faith, for all you do. I can’t wait to drive up to White’s and look around. That new tomato variety sounds intriguing. Love your show!
Thank you so much, Carolyn! We love you right back.
Did Barbara Pierson grow up on Whippoorwill?
Not sure. We’ll ask her and report back. She does loves birds, so it would be fitting 😉
How do i find the tips I hear in the mornings like the salmon avocado topping , I searched during morning addition.
I listen on NPR 90.5
Thanks for all
