Korean TV – SBS Morning Wide – Films at City Farmer

SBS Morning Wide is a variety, morning news show in Korea, which covers local, nationwide, and global issues. The show is very much like ABC’s Good Morning America or CBS Early Show in the U.S. This segment’s subtitle is ‘City Design Projects and World Famous Sustainable Cities in the Pacific Northwest’.

Charles Kim/Field Producer, Ji-eun Kim/Producer Director and Hyoo Joo Park/Cameraperson visited the Compost Demonstration Garden yesterday to shoot a segment on urban agriculture.

“Case Studies of World Famous Cities in the U.S., Canada and Europe. In the U.S., and Canada, we cover Seattle, Portland, New York, San Antonio, and Vancouver. How did these places become sustainable cities? What are their eco-friendly policies? Are they green? What should we learn from these cities to make Seoul better place to live? Introducing Seoul Festival and Designing Modern Cities. Promotion of Hi Seoul Festival.”

It rained, of course, as Sharon gave the TV crew a tour of the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden

After interviewing Mike and Sharon at the Demo Garden in Kitsilano, the Korean filmmakers visited Sharon’s home to see her food garden.

Sharon reports:
“They asked me to prepare something with veggies from the garden and I decided on a simple salad. We went to the greenhouse where I picked some tomatoes and yellow peppers. The salad included lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and my secret ingredient-blueberries. They loved it.”
