HomeGrown 03/07/10 - International Potato Center & New Urban Farmers

HomeGrown this week offers some old-fashioned gardening expertise from Peru – and Louisville. Bob Hill returns from his Peruvian vacation to interview Pamela K. Anderson, director of the International Potato Center, on the history and Inca culture connected with that plant. Closer to home, Stephen Bartlett of Sustainable Agriculture Louisville explains a new program designed to help local would-be farmers grow crops and raise animals right here in the city.
