We’ve all sprung forward, and the gardeners among us are just itching to get their hands in the soil. On Real Virginia, Virginia Farm Bureau’s weekly television program, you can find out why the Victory Gardens that took root during World War I are still relevant today. You can also revel in the exotic and colorful plants at a Powhatan County orchid supplier.

We’ll also share information on what Virginia farm and forestry products are in demand overseas, and how agriculture remains alive and well in Loudoun County.

Real Virginia can be viewed online and airs nationwide at 3:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month on RFD-TV on Dish Network and DirecTV, and on selected cable outlets around the state. It airs weekly on WVPT Harrisonburg, WCVE Richmond, WHRO Norfolk, WVVA Bluefield and WTKR Norfolk.
