14. Garden Therapy
There is no question that the act of gardening is therapeutic. There is also no question that providing the gift of a garden to a family or community that needs one is therapeutic for the giver and the receiver.
Together, Advertiser X and Radio Station invite listeners to join them in creating a garden for those community members who are in need.

15. Garden Therapy
Radio station and Advertiser X partner to identify the recipients of a garden that the community will help to build.
Recipients may include:
Hospitals
Nursing homes
Assisted living residences
Subsidized housing areas/projects
Families in need of help
Once the recipients are identified, radio station will create, produce and run promotional spots announcing the partnership between Advertiser X and the radio station and inviting listeners to participate in one or more of the Garden Therapy events scheduled throughout the spring season.

Advertiser X will provide all tools and supplies for the Garden Therapy events.

Together, Radio and Advertiser X provide simple ideas to create a garden and recipes that use the home harvests.

Vignettes will run as :30 or :60 spots throughout dayparts on weekdays and weekends.

25. Home Grown Recipes How it works: Example vignettes:
“Welcome to Home Grown Recipes sponsored by Advertiser X. I must admit that the garden is really not my territory but I plant a few of my favorite herbs and enjoy watching everything grow. I don’t have much space, but I’ve found it’s quite simple to maintain a small windowsill planter for a couple varieties of herbs. I gotta tell you the first time I harvested from this little garden, I was SO glad I did it. You can find everything you need to start at Advertiser X and visit the station website to see the home grown recipe of the day and the veggies and herbs that you can grow to make them!”
“Hi! It’s time for Home Grown Recipes sponsored by Advertiser X. Yesterday I told you about the windowsill planter trick – if you haven’t started yet – I promise – it’s well worth the effort. Even if all you do is tend a little basil plant this summer, picking that fresh basil to garnish your favorite summer pasta changes the way you think about your food. Stop by Advertiser X, they have everything you need to keep you eating healthy all summer long. Don’t forget to visit the station website to see the home grown recipe of the day and the veggies and herbs that you can grow to make them!”

27. Planting Tips
Consumers tend to get overwhelmed by the thought of starting a lawn and garden project. They have no idea how much it should cost, not sure if they will do it right, feel stupid asking basic questions and don’t even know what the right question is. To top it off, there are so many sources of information, they don’t know who to trust.
Advertiser X and Radio to the rescue. Together, we will provide seasonal and location based planting tips throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall - on-air, online and via mobile applications.

28. Planting Tips
