Presented by Jeff Poppen
Join us for a gallery talk by Jeff Poppen, one of the hosts of the Nashville Public Television show Volunteer Gardener. We will explore the Tennessee Harvest, 1870s–1920s exhibition and learn more about our local landscape and its connection with gardening and farming.
About Jeff Poppen
Jeff Poppen says his parents loved growing plants on their Illinois farm, and he credits them for his passion for growing. He’s made his living growing the best organic vegetables he can. Jeff acknowledges he has learned through experience over four decades. He is also an avid student of old-time farming methods, the way folks grew stuff before all of the chemicals in farming. He is compelled to try and shorten the learning curve for other gardeners. Jeff adds, “My wish is that my love for growing organically inspires others.”
