Season Premiere: March 30, 2010 at 8:00pm

Celebrate Ten Years with Virginia Home Grown! Our gardening series features helpful tips, tours of area gardens and live call-in segments for your questions. The March season premiere will feature soil analysis with Charlie Thornton. Charlie will help you learn how to take a proper soil sample, how to interpret the results, and how to make changes to the soil to help your plants grow. Also, visit Gryffon’s Aerie where Heritage Breed livestock are raised without hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. Breeds include Milking Devons which were brought to the US from Devonshire, England in 1623 and Karakul sheep which may have been around during the Babylonian Empire. Peggy Singlemann from Maymont Foundation will give us her pick for the “Plant of the Month.”

Tune in March 30, 2010 at 8:00pm (WCVE|WHTJ) (R) April 3, 2010 at 5:00 pm (WCVW).

Virginia Home Grown is broadcast live from our Richmond studio and features guest experts providing in-studio demonstrations, call-in segments, and pre-recorded visits to public and private gardens in central Virginia. The one-hour program, which airs monthly from March through October, is hosted by Richard Nunnally, Extension Agent Emeritus with Chesterfield County. Co-host Amy Barton Williams joins him each month.
