HGTV gardener lectures at Fellows

YOUNGSTOWN – Gardening gives people a sense of hope, says Erica Glasener.

The horticulturist, author and host of HGTV’s “A Gardener’s Diary,” spoke to a group of 65 gardeners Mill Creek Park's Fellows Riverside Gardens Saturday.

“Twice a year we bring in speakers to do programming,” said Keith Kaiser, Mill Creek Metroparks horticulture director. “It’s a great time to help people think about gardening in a different way and to get new inspiration. [Glasener’s] very much a great horticulturist and gardener and we appreciate all of her scientific knowledge, as well.”

Glasener shared a slide show of the gardens she’s seen in her 13 years of traveling as host of “A Gardener’s Diary.”
