Columbia County residents, creators, and co-hosts of GardenFit, Expert Gardener Madeline Hooper and Fitness Trainer Jeff Hughes will introduce two 30-minutes episodes and conduct a Q&A.

In GardenFit, co-hosts Hooper and Hughes visit more than a dozen stunning private gardens and specialty farms across America, learning about each unique environment and its knowledgeable owner. Every show starts with a tour of the property, highlighting the distinctive gardening style while discussing insights, tips and techniques before discussing the owner’s physical aches and pains. “We’re not teaching people how to garden, “ says co-host Hooper, “We’re starting a GardenFit movement that integrates gardening with fitness techniques to prevent aches and pains.” Read more and view trailer here.
