In every garden magazine you see pictures of beautiful rooms that contain an assortment of annuals and perennials that can be very intimidating to the novice gardener.  It almost seems unfair that there are some people that have a natural green thumb and can make anything grow, or so it seems. Then there are other people who feel artificial plants are the way to go because every plant dies no matter how hard they try.  When you look at the big picture, these plants can be a very expensive learning curve. With all of the gadgets available, especially the ones “as-seen-on-TV” it makes you wonder what exactly should you buy and what products you should avoid.

Fortunately, there are certain plants that are actually very hardy and are very easy to grow. You don’t necessarily have to be an expert, have to buy some kind of funky gadget, etc. to care for them either.

In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Horticultural expert, John Peter Thompson, who is President of the National Agricultural Research Alliance (http://www.NARA-B.org ). John Peter will discuss plants that are easy to grow and care for to make your garden look like the Victory Garden! Stay tuned!
