HOLDERNESS — Lead Horticulturist and Exhibits Assistant with Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Emma Erler will co-host a new weekly segment, Homegrown NH, on New Hampshire Public Radio focused on practical, timely gardening tips for Granite Staters.
“Homegrown NH” debuted Saturday, July 5, and will air weekly at 8:35 a.m. during Weekend Edition, paired with BirdNote for a double dose of nature and inspiration. The segment is produced in partnership with Kirkwood Gardens at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and will also be available as a podcast.
Erler brings a wealth of expertise in ecological landscaping, native plants, and environmental education to the program. With a background that includes roles at UNH Extension, Tower Hill Botanic Garden, and Heritage Museums and Gardens, Erler is passionate about helping gardeners of all experience levels cultivate a deeper connection to nature.
Each week, Erler will join NHPR’s Jessica Hunt to explore topics ranging from ecological gardening and pollinators to sustainable practices, all rooted in New Hampshire’s unique growing conditions.
“We are so proud to see Emma share her knowledge and enthusiasm with listeners across the state,” said Iain MacLeod, executive director of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. “Her work embodies our mission to inspire joy, connection, and wonder through nature education.”
