On the sixth episode of Live from the Avant Garden, the Astro Stage is graced by the inestimable talents of Selena Benally, Alyson Cina, and Erin Frisby; collectively known as Ammonite. The trio discuss what's in their garden and how to prevent raiding deer from trampling on your dreams of growing prolific cantaloupes, corn and other copious crops. In the second half of the show, Ammonite put the local avian community to shame with their mind blowing harmonies and brilliant compositions.
