TAMPA -- The Newsradio WFLA family is in mourning as one of our own has left us.
Longtime "Florida Gardening" host Mark Govan has passed away at age 60. He had either co-hosted or hosted the longtime Sunday morning show for more than two decades.
Govan had led the Sunday morning program since its founding host, the late Gil Whitton, retired in 2003. He started working with Whitton on television as co host of "Gil's Garden", a live call-in show, from 1994 to 1997. He later joined Whitton on Newsradio WFLA as a co-host.
Govan founded his pest control company, ABC Pest Control, in 1982.
The Florida Gardening podcast is the second most-popular podcast on the Newsradio WFLA site, trailing only AM Tampa Bay.
Earlier this year, Florida Gardening acquired the full-show sponsorship of financial firm Graham Capital, which also produces the David Graham financial show "Guaranteeing Your Retirement."
Below we've added several podcasts of Govan's shows.
Listen to a tribute podcast with longtime WFLA personalities Tedd Webb and Sue Treccase.
