Gardening Show Wins Regional Emmy

The NC State-produced show In the Garden with Bryce Lane has won a regional Emmy Award. The production team accepted the award in Nashville, Tenn., last week at the Midsouth Regional Emmy Awards.

In the Garden is produced by Communication Services. Host Bryce Lane, a horticultural science instructor, brings more than 28 years of teaching experience to television. The production team includes videographer/editor Simone Keith, producer Sonya Williams Harris and graphic artist John Vanaman. The show airs Saturdays at noon on UNC-TV.

Williams Harris said In the Garden won the award for a show about gardening with children. The episode, from the show’s seventh season, features Lane’s grandchildren working in his home garden, as well as students from Raleigh’s Ravenscroft School and 4-H horticulture specialist Liz Driscoll demonstrating gardening activities for children.

In the Garden, beginning its ninth season this year, is both a television series and a distance education  course. Viewers can register to earn college credit.
