About Charlie Nardozzi
Charlie Nardozzi has worked for more than 20 years bringing expert gardening information to home gardeners through radio, television, and the printed page. He delights in making gardening information simple, easy, fun and accessible to everyone. He presently is the senior horticulturist and spokesperson for the National Gardening Association (NGA). He also writes the national news for the Regional Reports Newsletter, conducts media interviews about gardening and NGA, and provides horticultural consultation to NGA programs.
For 12 years he was an editor with National Gardening magazine, writing stories on a variety of gardening topics from roses to tomatoes. He has written for national magazines such as Organic Gardening and contributed to many of the Gardening for Dummies titles, authoring Vegetable Gardening For Dummies in 1999. He also contributed to other book projects such as 7 in 1 Gardening for Dummies and the Better Homes and Gardens' Yard and Garden Owner's Manual.
Charlie's skills as a garden communicator extend beyond the printed page. In 2005 he was the host of PBS's Garden Smart, which reached more than 60 million households. He has also been a gardening expert on many nationally syndicated television shows, such as HGTV's Today at Home and Way to Grow, Discovery Channel's Home Matters, DIY's Ask DIY, and has appeared on QVC and the Home Shopping Network. From his home in Vermont, he co-hosts In The Garden on the local CBS-affiliate television station (WCAX-Channel 3) and a weekly call-in radio show on WJOY-1230AM, and is a commentator on Vermont Public Radio.
