About Gritty and Green

Gritty and Green explores all the facets of gardening in a city -- whether it's creating your own small backyard garden oasis, planting herbs on your roof deck, growing flowers in containers on your stoop or cramming as many plant babies onto your windowsill as you can. Each episode host and Master Gardener, Meredith Nutting, is joined by folks that know the ins and outs of urban gardening from the tiniest seed to the biggest bureaucratic policies in urban agriculture. You'll learn a little about the sciences and a lot about how to grow your own flourishing urban garden.
