Our Judges are Location Scouts!

As America In Bloom’s judges visit American cities from coast to coast this summer, they will also be scouting for potential filming locations for the 2012 season of the award-winning TV show, Growing A Greener World. Locations must meet the television program’s mission of telling the story of people, places and organizations that make a difference in this world through gardening.

The show’s host, Joe Lamp’l remarked, "I am very excited to have AIB's keen sense of discernment as they travel the country seeking the best of what America has to offer. They already understand that great gardens can build a rich community. We look forward to seeing what they discover for us as well as for the America in Bloom organization."

AIB board member and judging chair, Jack Clasen, added, “Our judging team is the best ever and they’re looking forward to sharing this exciting opportunity with our participating towns and cities.”

The show was founded by executive producer and host Joe Lamp’l, otherwise known as Joe Gardener. As one of the nation’s most recognized and trusted personalities in gardening and sustainability, Lamp’l shares his expertise on NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s Good Morning America, The Victory Garden on Public Television and more. He’s a popular author on the speaking circuit, engaging the public in person and online through his social media platforms. Growing A Greener World is nationally distributed through American Public Television and presented by UNC-TV.

Lamp’l has become a big supporter of America In Bloom (AIB) and its efforts to revitalize communities and make them more livable and sustainable. In addition to presenting awards to the winning cities in St. Louis last October, he will be a keynote speaker at AIB’s 10th annual awards symposium in Crystal City near Washington, D.C., on October 7. AIB looks forward to contributing to Growing A Greener World’s high quality programming and shining a spotlight on vibrant community programs.
