Native plants have a special place around the garden because they will thrive under the harshest conditions. They were simply built to survive while other flowers and plants need special assistance to thrive.  During this round of southern gardening questions, Felder Rushing talks about these native plants and others while gardeners are quietly anticipating the time for summer planting.  Also, he shares updates on his upcoming events where you can see him live and in the community.    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Gestalt Gardener | Native Planters

Each week, horticulturalist Felder Rushing shares stories, answers questions and just talks gardening. Of course, you’ll hear a bit of “cheesy music” in every program and you might hear a bad joke or two as well. The Gestalt Gardener is a long-time favorite on MPB Think Radio, due in no small part to Felder’s laid-back, your-neighbors-might-talk-but-so-what approach to gardening.
Email Felder anytime at garden@mpbonline.org and listen Friday mornings at 9 and Saturday mornings at 10 to The Gestalt Gardener on MPB Think Radio. And in the meantime, as Felder says, get out and get dirty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
