Just like Skip's garden, High Plains Public Radio started with tender loving care from its founders, listener-members and volunteers who helped broadcast the seeds that continue to produce a year-round harvest of news, information and entertainment. 

This ongoing support helped the HPPR garden grow from a tiny sprout in Pierceville, Kansas, to encompass parts of five states - Kansas, Texas. Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas. 

Because of member support, HPPR has weathered financial dry spells and the high winds of technological change.

Whether you’re an old hand, or a newcomer in our garden of audio delights, we hope you’ll roll up your sleeves and do your part to jeep the High Plains Public Radio garden growing strong.

Years ago Skip Mancini left the rocky coast of Northern California to return to her roots in the heartland. Her San Francisco friends, concerned over her decision to live in a desolate flatland best known for a Hollywood tornado, were afraid she would wither and die on the vine. With pioneer spirit, Skip planted a garden. She began to learn about growing not only flowers and vegetables, but hearts and minds. If you agree that the prairie is a special place, we think you'll enjoy her weekly sojourns into Growing on the High Plains.
