From away to garden.com and Robinhood Radio.com, this is Away to Garden with Margaret

Roach.

You're a weekly invitation to dig in and grow.

Could your houseplants use a tune up after a hard winter indoors?

I know mine will need it from repotting to light pruning to full scale rejuvenation in

So I wanted to get expert advice.

Today's guest has been growing houseplants since age five and the last 25 years he's been

doing that not just at home but also in historic Longwood Gardens Conservatory in Kenneth Square

Pennsylvania where he's the conservatory manager.

In 25 years working on the conservatory at Longwood Gardens, Carl Gerson estimates he's seen more than a million pots of display plants.

exceptional to make the grade the best varieties and grown to perfection. So I

know he has the answers on both fronts on which plants to choose and how to care

for them. Thanks for making time today, Carl, to mentor us.
