People, Places, Plants, "Green Guerillas"
PEOPLE: GREEN GUERILLAS - Nearly three decades ago, they originated as renegade gardening activists. Recently, New York City's "Green Guerrilas" were instrumental in saving more than 100 public gardens. PLACES: NYC GARDEN NOOKS - In our Places segment, Paul Tukey stays in the big apple to visit some of the Garden Nooks that give the Big Apple its horticultural charm. PLANTS: HEMLOCK WOOLY ADELGID - Roger and Peter Del Tredici, Senior Research Scientist at the Arnold Arboretum, climb Hemlock Hill to look at the hemlock woolly adelgid infestation, and talk about the future of our eastern forests. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: ELECTRIC LAWN CARE - The familiar power lawnmower, along with other garden power equipment, accounts for a significant amount of air pollution. One solution is to replace the lawnmower's gasoline engine with an electric-powered one. The newest generation of such machines uses rechargeable batteries, eliminating the need to use an extension cord.
