WEST CHICAGO, IL – During Spring Trials in Santa Paula, California, this year, garden designer and new media broadcaster Shirley Bovshow visited Ball Horticultural Company and Burpee Home Gardens® to film segments for “Garden World Report,” a weekly online garden TV talk show. During her visit, Shirley interviewed Jessie Atchison, brand manager for Burpee Home Gardens, who filled her in on the latest varieties from the Burpee line-up, and showed her how Burpee’s new ready-to-plant vegetables can save time and space in the garden.

Also this season, Shirley will contribute her creative, accessible and fun style to the Burpee Home Gardens Blog as a guest writer. She’ll discuss garden designs that include edible landscapes, which integrate edible plants with ornamentals to extend the use of yards for both food production and entertaining.
