Naturally Green

Savor Life's weekly hour dedicated to the splendor and beauty of everything growing in our region.

Since 1994 your host Michael Warren Thomas has brought his knowledge of gardening, landscape design, and horticulture to listeners through this show.

Callers often have questions about when to prune trees, when it's safe to put new plants in the ground, and how to care for their gardens. Additionally, Michael is often sent photos of things that callers are hoping to identify and learn more about!

Tune in weekly to hear more about garden life, seed planting, and more on Naturally Green.

Starting in January 2023, the Naturally Green brand has carried on to new pastures! Michael Warren Thomas is now offering sustainable landscape services to the Finger Lakes. You can visit the new Naturally Green website for info.
