Jennie Garth Hits The Aether To Get You Into Veggies

Going live on the 19th, the new iVillage digital production Garden Party stars Jennie Garth, and hopes to get you and your kids eating healthier by sharing fun and interesting ways to get vegetables into your diet. With a new vegetable each week (it's broccoli week to kick things off), the web series aims to spin new life into things you don't eat, and theoretically (I suppose) introduce some things you don't even know you don't eat.

Give it a look at iVillage here, and check a few of the videos below.

The new original web series "Garden Party," hosted by celebrity mom Jennie Garth, ("Beverly Hills, 90210," "What I Like About You"), will premiere Tuesday, January 19 on iVillage (www.iVillage.com/gardenparty).  The digital lifestyle series, from NBC Universal Digital Studio and the makers of Hidden Valley® Ranch dressing, serves to help families incorporate vegetables into their diets.

"I saw this series as an opportunity to help inspire, educate and motivate families like mine," said Garth.  "I found out that incorporating vegetables into your families' life is not only healthy but can be fun too."

Garden Party celebrates a new vegetable each month.  Host, Jennie Garth, meets with farmers, chefs, moms and kids to find new and exciting ways to get families to love their veggies.  From planting cucumbers at home, to visiting a kid’s cooking school, to taking a tour of a family farm, Jennie infuses her personality and experience as a mom into the series to make the information come alive.  Jennie shares her own experience and tips with rich interactive elements including a "Cook and Tell" cookbook, a "What's For Dinner" meal planner and an opportunity for moms to tell their veggie stories.

“We know how important it is to Moms that their children enjoy balanced meals and that vegetables play a big role in that balance,” said Priscilla Tuan, Marketing Manager for the Hidden Valley® brand.  “We are excited about the opportunity to help families learn more about creating a lifelong love of veggies.”

“Garden Party” can be found on iVillage (www.iVillage.com/gardenparty), the largest content-driven community for women on the web.  Additionally, the series will be distributed across family-oriented broadband, mobile and video-on-demand platforms.
