  • Mississippi’s native plants – what’s in it for me? Mississippi’s native plants – what’s in it for me?

    By Patricia Drackett, Director/The Crosby Arboretum/ MSU Extension Service

    I’ve heard that a sure-fire way to have people buy into an idea or product is to focus on the many ways it offers a personal benefit to them. All you need to do is flip open a magazine or turn on the television to see a plethora of advertisements that boldly claim their product or service is “all about you”.

During a rainy season, you might be amazed when discovering how much water is being stored in places that are usually dry.
