STATION GARDEN RENOVATION, AND A MAKEOVER SHOW WITH LOCAL EXPERTS
Lots of spaces offer their unique challenges. At WHNT NEWS 19, the real challenge is the job! A busy newsroom doesn't leave time for the TLC a good-looking garden needs – or does it? The smart folks and Across the Pond and Bennett Nurseries promise they can deliver fabulous spaces that can take care of themselves, and their advice can be applied to any garden.

A renovation of the long-neglected outdoor weather set is finished. We're capturing how-to tips, plant choices and planning strategies to share with you.
