About Garden Talk with Larry Meiller

Meiller’s familiar and much-loved voice will help celebrate all things green.

“The Garden & Green Living Expo brings together people who are curious, thoughtful and excited about caring for the places they live,” Meiller said. “It’s wonderful to talk with people in person and then know they can step right out and explore everything the Expo has to offer.”

As Meiller approaches his upcoming retirement in June 2026, the Garden Talk live broadcast offers a timely moment to celebrate the spirit of curiosity, generosity and shared learning that has defined Garden Talk for decades — and that continues to shape Garden & Green Living Expo.

Note: There is a four-ticket limit per order.
