Our translator station serving St. Francis and Cheyenne County at 96.3 FM is off the air due to an air conditioning breakdown at its leased transmitter site, making it too hot for HPPR's equipment to operate. We are currently working to fix the situation. We apologize for the loss of service and ask listeners to tune to KZNK at 90.1 FM or listen on line through the player above or HPPR's mobile app.

Tom Gillan: Gardening on the Side

Cindee Talley

 Tom Gillan is the owner of Native Nursery.  He's also in the midst of writing a book titled Gardening on the Side.  It's not about gardening as a hobby, it's about planning and planting specific to the side of the building.

For example, here on the high plains, any planting done on the west side of a structure needs to keep in mind all weather conditions plus the reflection of the hot sun off the sides of the building as well as window.  Those circumstances require careful planting.

Native Nursery is located at 17025 S. Golden Rd. in Golden, Colorado.  The toll free number is: 1-888-278-3750.
