Melinda Myers has a master’s degree in horticulture, is a certified arborist and was a horticulture instructor with tenure. She’s hosted “The Plant Doctor” radio program for over 20 years as well as seven seasons of “Great Lakes Gardener” on PBS. She also hosted “Yardworks,” a nationally syndicated yard care and garden show where she interviewed celebrities in their own gardens. She was a contributing editor and columnist for Backyard Living magazine and has written articles for Better Homes and Gardens and Fine Gardening. She’s written 20 gardening books, has won virtually every award and recognition possible in horticulture and media, and currently Melinda hosts the nationally syndicated Melinda’s Garden Moment segments which air on over 125 TV and radio stations throughout the U.S. She’s here today because my lovely wife saw Melinda’s educational dvds in the Great Courses catalog and said “holey moley you need to call her”. She’s modern day gardening royalty!
