Family Plot is back to guide local gardeners through the ups and downs of a Mid-South season!

Horticulture expert Dr. Chris Cooper from the UT Shelby County Extension Service and other experts share their garden wisdom, answer e-mails and letters about your lawn and garden, and take you on field trips throughout the Mid-South to help you keep your Family Plot green and growing.

Viewers can send in their garden photos and questions to familyplot@wkno.org. Some of the emails may be featured on the show. Thanks for making our first season such a success, and please join us next year!
