About Host & Executive Producer Joe Lamp’l

As one of the country’s most recognized and trusted personalities in gardening and sustainability, Joe Lamp'l combines his national television experience with gardening expertise, environmental stewardship and passion for living a more eco-friendly life into each episode of Growing a Greener World.

Joe’s infatuation with gardening and nature began as a child after a run-in with his parents’ favorite shrub. Panicking, he jammed the broken branch into the ground and a few weeks later, it had taken root. Joe was not only relieved, he was also hooked on horticulture. That passion is now evident to a nationwide audience who has watched Joe as host of popular series and guest spots on network television and cable channels.
