This episode the team does a non-stop recording beginning to end with their guest, Mary Kutchko. Peter helps us understand the horticulture and agriculture of our area a little better, and Mary shares a very authentic and emotionally honest story of how she and Lenny started the Country Garden Center through tragedies and triumphs.
