The Best of Making it Grow! sets its roots in Making it Grow!, a hit show also produced dually by Clemson University in the United States and ETV. Making it Grow! has won numerous awards, including 2 Regional Emmy Awards for Best Interview/Discussion Programme and Set Design, and has expanded to a variety of media, including radio, newspaper and Internet.
Making it Grow! began in 1993, with a focus on promoting the horticultural and agricultural aspects of the southern US state of South Carolina. It has expanded into being one of the premier outlets for viewers to find information about their gardens, farms, plants, and wildlife.
Making it Grow! is a highly interactive, live television programme, where viewers call in their gardening and agricultural questions to Clemson University's Rowland Alston, who hosts a panel of experts to answer the various inquiries. "Basically, it's a common sense approach to gardening," says Alston, a 30-year veteran of Clemson University and the Clemson Extension Service.
"There's just an insatiable appetite for more information on both houseplants and plants around the world."
Making it Grow! also features a taped segment in each show, which focuses on an interesting person, place, or product from the unique growing regions of the US South.
The Best of Making it Grow! and Making it Grow! are currently in production, and will be as long as there are farmers who grow heirloom vegetables and backyard gardeners cultivating new planting styles. More information about upcoming features can be found at www.mig.org.
