Johnathan Lenard is celebrating his second season of gardening! His rookie season was a patio garden, and he stepped up in size to a traditional garden plot that he created himself from the grassy yard of a supportive relative. Johnathan also works at a community garden in Fayetteville North Carolina. A fan of the show, he tweeted us about his trials and tribulations in his garden and we got him in the studio to share his experiences with you! Johnathan teaches competitive ballroom dancing and aspires to get his Master Gardener certification.
