Me with Richard Nunnally on the set of Virginia Home Grown |
The next part of the show had me completely nervous all week. First of all, this is a live show, filmed in front of a live audience. That part didn't end up being bad at all. The way the studio is set up, there is a wall of cameras between me and the audience, so I really forgot that the audience was there. Plus, Richard told me to look at him while I was answering questions so I eventually forgot the cameras were there as well. The second part that made me nervous was that, during the show, viewers and audience members can submit their gardening questions and we have to answer them live on the air without any prep... eek! I figured that most of the questions would be about orchids since that was the theme of the show, and most of them were, but there were also a few general gardening questions as well. Although I started out a little shy, I think my confidence grew as I realized, hey, I actually know the answers to these questions and I can actually help people by answering them! It turned out to be a really fun experience and brought some great exposure to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. I look forward to getting to do this again in the future!
The show was streamed live on the web, and they also have the full version currently on their web site. Check it out!
