New Southern Garden Nathan Wilson

This week, Nathan talks about the native plants in his garden! Native plants are those plants which originated from the area in which they are grown. In this case, Nathan discusses plants that would have been growing in the southern United States before the settlers came over and brought plants from other parts of the world. Native plants are great for eco-friendly gardening and are a great food source for local pollinators and other insects. If you are looking to create a garden that blends well with the naturally occurring environment, plant some of Nathan’s favorite native plants today!

This week, Nathan answers Cheryl's question about flowering annuals that the deer won't eat! She tried begonia, but they were munched on like lunch time at the Shoney's salad bar. Nathan talks about a long list of plants that the deer MIGHT not eat. After all, if they're hungry enough, right? From salvia, lantana, verbena, and dusty miller to alyssum, nasturtium, ageratum, and angelonia, there are surely plenty of annuals you can enjoy that the deer won't!
