Today he talks about some of these bugs around his home, a plant know as "campers friend", and answers a variety of southern gardening questions. Let's get dirty!

October 02, 2020 The Gestalt Gardener | Felder To The Max
On this edition of the Gestalt Gardener, Felder is broadcasting from the Queen City aka Meridian, Mississippi. Before giving a talk about yard art at the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience, Felder sat in a socially distant studio and answered your southern gardening questions. There was a tiny audience there to witness this week's garden party and I think it's safe to say Felder made a few new friends.

September 25, 2020 The Gestalt Gardener | Rainbow Garden
This summer has been a challenge for all but in Felder's world his garden has been a beacon of light. Usually overseas for the summer months Felder used his quarantine time to get dirty in the Mississippi soil and actually plant a garden. And by the color of his harvest you can tell he is mighty proud of what he planted. During this round of southern gardening questions Felder helps with red spider lilies, a jujube tree, and other everything else under this early fall sun. Let's get dirty!
