The Garden Journal, broadcast each Saturday from 10:00 to 10:30 am on KSFR 101.1, is a compendium of interviews, advice, and inspiration for home gardeners throughout Santa Fe County.
The Garden Journal, a project of the Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners, has been on the air every week since October, 2013. The program is produced by four participating organizations in rotation each month, each about how to understand our roles as humans in the natural world and featuring local and global experts:
The first Saturday of each month join Slow Food Santa Fe’s Lissa Johnson and Nina Rosenberg and their guests. The Slow Food Santa Fe, the local chapter of a national and international grassroots organization promoting food that is “good, clean and fair,” focus on perspectives from the local food community.
On the second Saturday of the month in the Santa Fe Extension Master Gardener edition, Alexa Bradford joins in conversation with local gardening experts, environmentalists, seed stewards, and policy-makers. Tune in for high desert gardening tips, news, events, and gardening inspiration.
On the third Saturday join Kaitlin Haase of the Xerces Society on “People, Plants, and Pollinators”. This show gives listeners a glimpse into the importance of pollinators and invertebrates, the native plants they rely on and the people working to create healthy ecosystems in neighborhoods, cities, farms and natural lands. The program informs listeners about educational wildlife gardening and conservation topics with an emphasis on insect pollinators and will feature guests from wildlife biologists to native plant ecologists and more.
And finally, the last Saturday of every month Jannine Cabossel , the Tomato Lady, shares her vegetable gardening expertise and advice for each coming month in the Home Grown New Mexico edition.
Four times a year, Tom Dominguez, Santa Fe County Extension Agent weighs in with gardening advice and updates on the Master Gardeners and other County Extension programs.
