Ed Hume has been honored with the 2015 Gold Circle Emmy award, which honors media professionals who have been in television for at least 50 years. Hume’s TV show is the only show in Washington, Oregon, Montana and Alaska to reach the 50-year mark.

Hume’s show has been on nearly every network in the Seattle-Tacoma market, with expansions into the Portland and Spokane markets. He also wrote a gardening column for the Seattle PI newspaper before becoming the Seattle Times’ garden editor.
