Publisher Description
Just in time for Valentine's Day (and with plenty of time for Mother's Day) professional flower grower Alina Alvarez joins us to discuss a new line of Fair Trade certified cut flowers. She is the CEO of InBloom Inc. The sale of these flowers directly benefits the Ecuadorians and Columbians who grow them. Plus, during the Question of the Week: Figs aren't just tasty; they contain more calcium than milk, more potassium than a banana, and more fiber than any other fruit! Mike McGrath will reveal how to grow them, how to protect the plants over the winter, and how to start with cuttings or sprouts from an existing tree. [Broadcast Date: February 7, 2008]
