Maverick Gardeners – Keepers of the Flame

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Horticulture Education Committee in Smith County will be hosting popular horticulturist, garden writer, and philosopher Felder Rushing Monday, September 13 from 2-4 PM at the Tyler Public Library (201 S. College Ave., Tyler, TX 75702).  Felder will present “Maverick Gardeners-Keepers of the Flame.”

Felder Rushing is an eleventh-generation American gardener from Mississippi, a non-stuffy horticulturist, who travels the world looking for simple garden approaches, which he promotes in his newspaper columns, books, magazine articles, and NPR radio program. The author of over twenty books and international founder of the “Slow Gardening” movement, he was named by Southern Living as one of “25 people most likely to change the South.”

Felder will have his latest book available, Maverick Gardeners:  Dr. Dirt and Other Determined Independent Gardeners.
