Ross Traverse says goodbye to 50 years of gardening broadcasting

Bouquets were the order of the day on CBC Radio's The Signal on Tuesday, which is not unusual for its weekly gardening show.
But this episode was a little different, and the bouquets were not actual flowers, either.
It was not only the final gardening episode of the year, but more importantly the final time super-guest Ross Traverse was gracing the airwaves — period.
Traverse, an author and a champion of horticulture, ran his own successful business in Torbay. He's also part of the Atlantic Agriculture Hall of Fame and has 50 years of radio advice on gardening, to boot. He has answered countless queries for listeners of Radio Noon, CrossTalk and now The Signal.
