TORONTO, March 1, 2018 /CNW/ - Celebrate the first day of spring with a new 10-part documentary series focused on cultivating meaningful connections with nature and the community through accessible gardening. A series by Tell Tale Productions, Growing Sense premieres on AMI-tv Tuesday, March 20 at 8:30 p.m. ET and PT.
Novice gardener Milena Khazanavicius once worked as a floral designer with dreams of opening her own shop before losing her sight at the age of 22. Rosmarie Lohnes is a veteran ecological landscaper with a passion for restoring sustainable ecosystems that connect people with nature. Together, they'll build and tend to an accessible garden plot at Common Roots Urban Farm in Halifax, Nova Scotia, growing a variety of foods, tackling tough landscaping projects and fostering a lasting friendship.
"Growing Sense really highlights the importance of following your passion and stepping outside of your comfort zone," says John Melville, Vice President of Programming and Production for AMI-tv. "The show provides some interesting how-to content with an array of helpful tips for gardening enthusiasts of all abilities, including individuals living with sight loss."
