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.

  • Felder Rushing is the most charming and knowledgeable gardening expert you could ask for. I don't think I really qualify as a gardener but Felder makes me dream of a much bigger garden. He keeps me laughing and smiling and always forgives his listeners their gardening sins.
