On The Garden Lady today, C.L. starts off with a postcard about holes in leaves. Then she welcomes Dabney Day, Writer, Producer and Director of the film “The Gardener.” This movie, screening in selected theaters, invites the audience to slow down, listen and feel. Then the program moves from the metaphorical to the practical with plant questions from listeners about herbs, potatoes, blueberries and other June gardening matters.
