Now Featuring Patrick Parent as the Radio Host
To our Simples & Worts Newbies, Novices and Adanced Gardeners;
Paul Parent had been on the radio providing gardening advice to listeners in New England for 35 years under his brand; “The Paul Parent Garden Club”. I have loved the show and want to share it with you. I would always listen to the live audio feed on Sundays from 6:00am to 10:00am.
The Paul Parent Gardening Club expert gardening advice is now heard on stations all over the country with one-half million loyal listeners.
Paul Parent Legacy
Paul graduated from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture in Massachusetts, in 1970. The following year he met the love of his life, best friend, and partner, Christine Duncan Parent. They married June 24, 1972, surrounded by family and friends. Together they had three children and four grandchildren, whom they cherished greatly.
Outside of family time, Paul’s sanctuary was his garden. He spent countless hours tending his plants, getting his hands dirty and thinking of innovative designs. He channeled this love for gardening into his livelihood – The Paul Parent Garden Club.
“Good Morning Gardeners and Welcome to the Paul Parent Garden Club” was his hearty welcome to listeners all over the world, engaging garden lovers of every age in discussion about his favorite subject for 35 years.
Sadly, On August 13th, 2018 and at the age of 69 Paul Parent left us to tend a new garden with the angels, passing peacefully in his sleep.
Now, the torch has been passed on to his son Patrick Parent, whom with his years of gardening experience and guidance from his father, Paul, will continue the Garden Club and gardening expertise.
