About Paul Parent

Paul was born June 16, 1949, in Lewiston, Maine, the son of Rita and Roland Parent of Scituate, who predeceased him. He graduated from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture in 1970. The following year he met the love of his life, best friend, and partner, Christine Duncan Parent. They married June 24, 1972, surrounded by family and friends. Together they had three children and three grandchildren, whom they cherished greatly. Outside of family time, Paul's sanctuary was his garden. He spent countless hours tending his plants, getting his hands dirty and thinking of innovative designs. He channeled this love for gardening into his livelihood - The Paul Parent Garden Club. "Good Morning Gardeners and Welcome to the Paul Parent Garden Club" was his hearty welcome to listeners all over the world, engaging garden lovers of every age in discussion about his favorite subject for over 35 years. He loved all things New England sports.   Sadly we lost Paul on  On Aug. 13, 2018 where he is now tending God's garden.  Paul & Chris's youngest son Patrick has now taken over the Paul Parent Garden Club Radio Program; continuing in his father's tradition, Patrick has brought his own style to the radio program.
