Hello, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Birthdays, anniversaries, various milestones – all reasons for getting together. When having fun time flies and that’s just what’s snuck up on Making It Grow, we’ve been on the air for thirty years. Rowland Alston of Clemson Extension was ahead of his time in noticing the burgeoning interest in home gardening and collaborated with SC Public Television’s Sumter station to share tips and best practices. Well, he stumped his toe, so to speak, and the show became wildly popular – with knowledgeable experts from Clemson appearing and with Rowland’s visiting people and places across the Palmetto State. He kindly asked me to come on the show and for twenty years I’ve been part of the action, ten as host. We’re having a party on the evening of September 25 in Sumter at the Opera House, stay tuned for details.
