Access Hour | Live for the Pledge Drive with Louisville Chorus & The Urban Ag Coalition | 3-30-22

We are live in the studio at 2pm on March 30th to encourage you to donate whatever you can during Forward Radio’s 5th Anniversary Pledge Drive at http://forwardradio.org. Joining station co-founder, Justin Mog, are two members of the Louisville Chorus (http://louisvillechorus.org), Ruth Newman and John Trueblood. We share some of their great music and discuss their concert coming up on Sunday, April 24th at 3pm at Christ Church United Methodist.

Also in the studio are our friends from Forward Radio’s Community Partner, the Urban Agriculture Coalition (http://foodinneighborhoods.org/grow), Bethany Pratt from Jefferson Co. Cooperative Extension and Madeline Marshal of the Jefferson Co. Soil & Water Conservation District. We talk about starting gardens, testing soils, making rich compost, keeping chickens & goats, and the first treasures of spring: asparagus and strawberries! The Urban Ag Coalition looks forward to welcoming you to their booths and workshops at the Louisville Free Public Library’s How-To Fest on Saturday, May 14th from 10am-3pm at the Main Library on York Street (https://www.lfpl.org/how-to/).
