As the nation's foremost gardening expert, Melinda Myers is once again taking center stage at the annual PBS Garden & Green Living Expo. The nationally renowned TV host, author, and speaker is prescribing the perfect remedies for what ails Midwest gardeners at this year's event in Madison, Wisconsin.
What this really means is that Myers is leveraging her decades of experience to provide practical, science-backed advice to help both novice and seasoned green thumbs get the most out of their outdoor spaces. As PBS Wisconsin reports, the "plant doctor" is using her expo booth and presentations to empower attendees with the knowledge they need to cultivate thriving, sustainable gardens.
A Passion for Plant Education
For Myers, the annual Garden & Green Living Expo represents a unique opportunity to connect directly with gardeners from across the Midwest. As she told OnMilwaukee, "Garden & Green Living Expo is a great opportunity to meet in person. It's the premier event for gardeners in the Midwest and I talk to gardeners not only from Wisconsin, but Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa."
The bigger picture here is that Myers views each interaction at the expo as a chance to empower attendees with the knowledge and resources they need to become more confident, capable gardeners. As PBS Wisconsin notes, "Whenever possible, I like to give thorough answers with plenty of background and references to resources. I feel that if I can guide you to ask the right questions, you can often solve problems."
Cultivating a Greener Future
Ultimately, Myers' participation in the Garden & Green Living Expo reflects her deeper mission to promote sustainable, eco-friendly gardening practices that benefit both people and the planet. By sharing her expertise and inspiring a new generation of green thumbs, she is helping to cultivate a future where everyone can enjoy the physical, mental, and environmental rewards of successful gardening.
As the 2026 expo approaches, gardeners across the Midwest would be wise to heed Myers' advice and make plans to attend this celebration of all things green and growing. With her guidance, they're sure to leave the event armed with the knowledge they need to nurture their dream gardens.
