Burpee Home Gardens to sponsor eco-friendly television series

Burpee Home Gardens will sponsor PBS series “Growing a Greener World”


Burpee Home Gardens will sponsor a new Public Television series “Growing a Greener World”. The show begins airing nationally in May and featured gardening personalities Joe Lamp’l (aka Joe Gardener), Patti Moreno (aka The Garden Girl) and celebrity chef Nathan Lyon, host of “A Lyon in the Kitchen” on Discovery Health.
Each episode (26 during the 2010/2011 season) will highlight people, places and organizations that use gardening and eco-friendly practices to promote environmental stewardship. Viewers will learn how to apply these same principles to make a difference in their own little corner of the world.
Lamp’l and Moreno will deliver the latest trends in eco-friendly living mixed with traditional gardening know-how. Lyon will show viewers how to prepare meals with fresh-from-the-garden produce and local ingredients.
The show is expected to reach an estimated 175 Public Television affiliates, creating more than 8.2 million total impressions for the Burpee Home Gardens brand.
