Among satellite dishes and skyscrapers in downtown Minneapolis, Kolls cultivated a 4,000 square foot garden on the roof of WCCO-TV, which became locally famous as the "roof-top garden." Popular with viewers in Minneapolis and a standout among other meteorologists because of her on-air gardening tips, Kolls was featured as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which led “Rebecca’s Garden” a nationally syndicated TV series carried on local TV stations throughout the country for 11 years.
Kolls was the lifestyle and gardening contributor for ABC’s “Good Morning America” since 1998, is the author of the book, “Rebecca’s Garden: Four Seasons to Grow On,” and now publishes her own magazine, “Seasons by Rebecca.” Rebecca is a sought after speaker and has appeared on many national talk shows such as; Rachel Ray, Oprah, CNN, Regis and Kelli, Tony Danza, NBC’s Weekend Today Show, The Other Half and many more.
