Super-Sod®, a division of the
Patten Seed Company,
will continue to make troubled lawns greener across the
South next year as turfgrass sod supplier of the Turner
South Network’s “Bushwhacked” series.
“Bushwhacked” is a television
series dedicated to rejuvenating the landscaping eyesores of
the South – one neighborhood at a time. The series
co-hosts, Christine Pullara and Justin Cave tackle and tame
the unruly yard in a neighborhood of beautifully manicured
lawns, surprising the homeowners with a “lifetime “super”
sod lawn”, easy-to-maintain plants and an updated look.
Super-Sod was selected by the
Turner South Production company of Bushwhacked during the
series inaugural season of 2005. Turner recently announced
its renewal with of Bushwhacked for the 2006 television
season.
“This is an ideal fit for
Patten Seed’s Super Sod because our products have such a
natural relationship with the program,”
said Patten Seed Co. President Ben Copeland
Sr. “For example, in an episode shot in Stone Mountain
(Ga.), “Bushwhacked” reclaimed a homeowner’s landscape with
a new Zenith™ Zoysia lifetime lawn while explaining to
viewers how to prepare a lawn for sodding.”
“Bushwhacked” debuted last
July and episodes have been shot in various cities and towns
around the southeast, from the Carolinas to Alabama.
Turner South, a 24-hour
regional entertainment network presents a lineup of original
programming, movies, regional news and sports to cable and
DBS affiliates to more than 8 million homes in Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina and
Tennessee. It is the only regional entertainment network
rated nationally by Neilsen.
Patten Seed also produces and
markets TifBlair™ centipede seed, Zenith™ Zoysia seed and
Super-Sod across the Sunbelt.
