VIRGINIA HOME GROWN (CC), the Community Idea Stations’ series especially for central Virginia gardeners, begins its eighth season on WCVE Richmond PBS and WHTJ Charlottesville PBS. The program repeats Saturdays at 5 pm on WCVW Richmond PBS.

The program is broadcast live from our Richmond studio and features guest experts providing in-studio demonstrations, call-in segments, and pre-recorded visits to public and private gardens in central Virginia. The one-hour program, which airs monthly from March through October, is hosted by Richard Nunnally, Extension Agent Emeritus with Chesterfield County. Co-host Amy Barton Williams joins him each month.
