My Favorite Growing a Greener World Episodes

I am an official fan girl of the Growing a Greener World TV show on PBS (although I almost always watch the episodes online). I have a shirt to prove it. In case you haven’t seen the show, it’s hosted by Joe Lamp’l and Patti Moreno, and they cover eco-friendly living mixed with traditional gardening ideas. Oh, and one of my favorite parts are the recipes with Chef Nathan Lyon.

Here are my top five episodes:

1. Living Homegrown Fresh
2. Growing Power
3. Seed Savers Exchange
4. Greensgrow Farm
5. Waterwise Gardening
