Gardening is one of the nation's most popular hobbies. In the Central  Valley, though, climate and soil can pose particular challenges.  Fortunately for local gardeners, help is at hand in the form of John  Pape, horticultural consultant, certified arborist and host of KVPT’s  popular The Art of Gardening.

 The Art of Gardening
is the Valley’s only local gardening show that  enables viewers to call in and have their questions answered live. The  show also features tours of local gardens as well as seasonal  gardening tips and issues.

A graduate of Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in ornamental horticulture, John has experience in nursery and landscape maintenance and landscape installation. He is also a licensed pest control operator and owns a tree and landscape health care company.

The Art of gardening airs Tuesday at 7:30pm. Have a question for John? Send it here and tune in to hear the answer on the air.
