Growing thriving native plant life in South Dakota

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

South Dakota's native plant species are uniquely built to withstand the state's wild weather. They're better equipped to handle droughts and sweltering summers as well as brutal winters.

Erik Helland, president and owner of Landscape Garden Centers joins In the Moment to discuss the benefits of planting native species. He and Lori Walsh also enjoy a rambling discussion across gardening topics.
