How cool! Two of our PPS members have/will have their gardens featured on an episode of "Volunteer Gardener" on NPT. We think the air dates will be this Fall. Here Paul's garden footage from 2016. Enjoy! facebook.com/volunteergarde…


Query came in: I'm new to TN & living on a mountain top in McMinnville. I'm not finding the quality & variety of perennials & trees I'm used to in VT. I'm planting a large property and looking for specimen trees, shrubs & perennials. Any recommendations on where to buy from?
