In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from three people who know how to keep a plant alive. Chris Wilson grew up on a farm and now raises sheep. Dominick Haynes has been growing food for years, but he's not as old as you'd expect. Nancy Kavanaugh has tips, loads of tips, for how to start your garden. The landscape of agriculture is changing. Listen to these three talk about how it's changed in Jonesborough, and what it's like now. Voices from the Archive is a monthly segment of StoryTown Radio. It shares stories from people living here, just how they told them. You might think of it like a news report that tells you about all sorts of things. From ghost stories to apple butter, you could learn just about anything from the people living here in East Tennessee. Listen in as they tell the stories of their lives here in Appalachia. StoryTown Radio is a production of the McKinney Center's Story Initiative. Grounded in the belief that stories connect people to each other, the Story Initiative sets out to collect, archive, and share the stories from the region. Broadcast from Jonesborough, Tennessee, the Storytelling Capital of the World, StoryTown Radio is one way these stories are shared with people, nearby and all around.
