HomeGrown 10/04/09 - Chrysanthemums & The Brother Gardeners

Mum’s not the only word on HomeGrown this week as Bob and Jeneen examine that great fall flower – and the lives of six 18th Century men who made gardening what it is today.  John Capobianco of the National Chrysanthemum Society talks about 13 classifications of mums, and which would work best in the Louisville area – or not.  Andrea Wulf, author of “The Brother Gardeners,”  speaks from London on the compelling lives of six gardening icons who changed the world forever.
