Felder's the Man

The greenest man in Jackson is about to do what the greenest man ought to do: Lead a huge parade on St. Patrick's Day. You've likely seen Felder Rushing around town, driving his pickup truck with his dog, Rusty, and a rowdy garden growing in the back complete with bottle trees and like.

Or you've heard his delightful radio show, "The Gestalt Gardener,"on Mississippi Public Broadcasting. Or you've read one of his fun and motivational gardening guides that make you want to dig into the dirt even if you don't know the difference between a bulb and a flower pot.

Every year, a larger-than-life character leads Mal's St. Paddy's Parade, and Rushing is perfect for the part. He'll be driving his truck and showing why he's one of the things we love about our south.
