New Southern Garden Nathan Wilson

What's the latest craze in gardening trends? Low maintenance! Actually, it's been the latest craze for decades. With the busyness of life, it's hard to dedicate copious amounts of time working in the landscape...as much as we might love doing it. This week, Nathan gives you some ideas in reducing the amount of time spent on pruning, weeding, and working with your lawn. Hopefully, these tips will give you more time to enjoy your garden instead of just working in it!

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!
