Speakers


Paul James
Key Note Speaker for Awards Banquet

Paul James "The Gardener Guy", host of HGTV "Gardening by the Yard" will entertain us with his humor and gardening knowledge at our Awards Banquet. Paul served as Gardening by the Yard's creator, writer and senior producer and shoots almost the entire show in his own backyard. That realism, plus Paul's somewhat zany style and a commitment to all-natural approaches to gardening, has endeared viewers to his show since it first aired on HGTV in 1996.  Paul's gardening career began in 1978 when he and his wife, Carrie, purchased their first home.  As an undergraduate, Paul studied botany, plant physiology and plant pathology.  He obtained his Master Gardener certification in 1983.
