The Gestalt Gardener — Games & Hobbies
The Gestalt Gardener

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.

The Gestalt Gardener | Broken Pieces Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Felder Rushing's blue MPB mug is so famous that it could have had its own Instagram page. First, Felder would have to get himself an Instagram account and we do not see that happening anytime soon. But after years of use and travel, the unspeakable happened: Felder's blue MPB mug was broken. Always looking to the bright side it is now being repurposed as a home for some beautiful succulents. Back in England, Felder answers another round of southern gardening questions and reminds his listeners why they are so important to this weekly garden party. Let's get dirty!
