In this episode of Gritty and Green, host Meredith Nutting starts at the PHS Flower Show with the students from Lankenau Environmental Science Magnet High School to hear about their community rooted exhibit. Then she talks to a flower farmer in Memphis Tennessee about how a post on Buy Nothing led to a farm built on neighbors' land. Marisa Mender-Franklin, owner of Midtown Bramble and Bloom, talks all about creating a flower garden and turning it into a thriving business in the heart of Midtown, a diverse and dynamic neighborhood in Memphis.
