If you're like a lot of the Grand Strand community, you're probably not a native South Carolinian and may have even moved here from a different part of the country. Join Lucy Contreras as she helps fellow "transplants" get up to speed in gardening in the South. Learn about plants that perform well in your new home, general garden lessons, and the trials and tribulations from a Northerner-turned-southerner.
