Garden Hotline

Sunday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Ralph Snodsmith first began to learn the difference between "roots and shoots" at the University of Illinois where he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Floriculture and Ornamental Horticulture. In 1965 he started as Agricultural Extension Agent in Rockland County, NY, and in 1970 assumed the position of Executive Director of the Queens Botanical Garden in Flushing, NY. As the popular host of The Garden Hotline®, Ralph has been heard on WRKL, WLIR, WRCR, WOR Radio Network, and ABC Talkradio Weekend. In his eight years of appearances on Good Morning America as gardening editor, Ralph Snodsmith educated millions of Americans about plants and their proper care. In 1993, he distilled his 25 years of experience teaching at the New York Botanical Garden into an eminently comprehensive and usable guide for gardeners of every level, Ralph Snodsmith's Fundamentals of Gardening. He also authored Tips From the Garden Hotline, and hundreds of fact sheets and newsletter articles. The Tri-State Gardener's Guide was released in 2002. His latest book, New York Gardener's Guide, was released January 2004. gardenhotline.com | Listen Live
