Garden Variety, hosted by Charity Nebbe

Even though there are few things that are green and growing outside this time of year, the holidays inspire many of us to bring new plants into our homes.

Iowa State University Horticulturists Aaron Steil and Cindy Haynes tell us how to keep our poinsettias, trees and wreaths fresh and care for other holiday plants too.

Guests:

  • Cindy Haynes | professor of horticulture at Iowa State University
  • Aaron Steil | ISU Extension horticulture specialist
