Roger Swain, “the man with the red suspenders”, is recognized by millions as host of The Victory Garden, television’s longest-running gardening show. For fifteen years Roger planted and pruned, harvested and chatted with PBS viewers across the country. More recently, he co-hostedPeople, Places and Plants on HGTV, a show which celebrates New England gardens and gardeners, and features his commentary, “Food for Thought.”. Biologist, gardener, writer and storyteller, Roger Swain was born and raised outside Boston Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College, and went on to earn a Ph.D., studying the behavior in ants in tropical rain forests, before becoming Science Editor of Horticulture magazine.
