GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — Pioneer Public Television’s Prairie Yard & Garden (PY&G) will focus on how to grow unusual vegetables on Thursday, April 4, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. The episode will be repeated on Saturday, April 6 at 4 p.m. and Monday, April 8 at 1 p.m. and will be available for online viewing at www.pioneer.org/pyg immediately after broadcast.

Host Mary Holm visits with Sara Thronsedt, an Otter Tail County master gardener who nurtures her gardens near the prairie lakes near Fergus Falls. Thronsedt takes her gardening to new levels each year by growing unusual, lesser known and healthy plants among her regular favorites — just for the fun of trying them!

Mary Holm of Morris has served as the host of PY&G for five years. PY&G is produced by the University of Minnesota, Morris in collaboration with Pioneer Public Television. Production sponsorship is provided by ACIRA, Heartland Motors, Diamond Willow Assisted Living and Shalom Hill Farm.
