I Started My Own Native Plant Nursery!
You remind me of my son 😊 Your family must be so proud of what you’ve accomplished
Exactly! They’re part of the ecosystem.
Very inspiring. Humble beginnings. I’d like to start a native plant nursery here in Mojave desert
Yes yes and yes! So much wisdom. Thank you for sharing.
Omg I love candy flower under cultivation. I didn't expect it to do so well, I guess I thought it would be a more sensitive plant because I only see it in the wild? I just have one corner of shade and our summers get pretty hot -- but just with a bit of supplemental irrigation it flowered like crazy and reseeded like gangbusters, it was a nice surprise, and it flowers for a long time! I have my first baby reseedlings of fringecup too this year; they reseeded in like the tiny narrow band of shade I have on the north side of my house. My vanilla leaf died though almost immediately...
Yea Claytonia sibirica is a really versatile plant and surprisingly hardy!
Great video, just the list of understory plants I've been looking for!
Have you tried growing devil’s club? I’d like to get some
I've tried a couple times with no success so far. This year I'm leaving the seeds I planted in the Fall to see if another cycle of warm/cold stratification will do the trick, so we'll see. I'll figure it out one of these days!
@@PlanBeeNativePlants apparently they need scarification and passing through the digestive tract of a bear is just the ticket.
@jameswatson4865 ah that makes sense given how much bears seem to like the berries. I had a suspicion that might be necessary, but had never seen it written anywhere. I'll give it another shot next year!
@@jameswatson4865I read about some scientists at Glacier National Park using a sulfuric acid digestion in the laboratory to get it to germinate. I grew this plant, but I was able to get a transplant though from a local nursery, it looked kind of like a stem cutting. I didn't have shady enough conditions for it though 😭, it died during a heatwave.
@@Hayley-sl9lm it definitely like moist and cool. There are some tricks for simulating bear digestion, I believe. I may experiment this fall.
Gallium aparine, which this is, is a native plant, a weedy native, but a native.
ah shoot, you're correct! I must've been thinking of another species. hmm oopsy
Just came across your channel. I bought a little Sea Thrift from you a month or so ago that is doing great in the full sun and is currently sending up lots of flowers. Sad to hear about the overwinter mortalities, but it looks like you still have lots to work with and also have the right attitude! All the best.
Love this content! I realized I need more early blooming natives here in the Seattle area, especially because I host native mason bees. Indian plum is definitely one of my top plants. And I'm also on the search for beaked hazelnut, as I've heard it blooms as early as January!
Thanks for this! I tried sowing a bunch of native seeds directly into the soil (March) it's now May - still no germination. I stored them in the fridge for a few months before sowing them. I hope I didn't kill them. I think I'll try your method next time...see if I have better success. Will take a look at your site too!
Hey Josh! So cool to find your vids. I follow you on IG- I’m Vancouver Invasives. I grow a variety of stuff in my back yard for transplanting and was shocked at my losses to that cold snap. Def plan to swing by and see your stock!
I am so super excited for you! You look good, you seem happy and you are blessing us with good information! Thanks for posting, sharing species updates & growth patterns. I love your vids! Keep going!!
Thank you for the kind words :). Will do!
For the deer also.. stakes in the corners, twine between the stakes and cans on the twine to make noise in the wind.
I'll give it a shot!
One thing I noticed in my nursery was the bigger the pot they overwintered in, the more likely they survived that -20 week. Almost all our dicentras made it and are currently blooming. So maybe give bigger pots a try if you can? Good luck!
I actually noticed this too. At least with my currants, almost all the ones in 2g containers survived. Most things I don't grow in 2g though, but maybe I should this year!
Love love, thank you for sharing.
My 3 yr old red flowering currant had only 1 limb come out of dormancy 😢 this year. Since it's past time for flowering I pruned it all back -- cutting into it, a lot of the tissue seems alive still? I'm hoping that pruning might encourage some new growth. It was so sad though I look forward to the blooms every year. Save seeds from the one that lived, we'll need hardier strains for the future.
Aw sorry to hear that! The one I have in my garden has survived fine. Just my potted ones at the nursery had issues. Hopefully yours will recover and flower again next year!
Great to see that native plants finally getting some love in the zeitgeist. I am converting my yard to natives and one problem I am having is getting a male/ female set of diecious shrubs. Having to plant multiples of bushes that can get quite big then waiting till they mature, then hoping there is at least one male and one female in the mix, then having to remove the others because the space is not large enough is a big waste of time, money, and energy. I think there is a niche for selling sets. For example, Logee's sells a 4 inch pot set of winterberry for $ 35. It would seem a small nursery could have a niche selling a wider selection of rooted cuttings.
Love the tours! Thanks also for the private financial info- I can see how much nursery stock I’m going to need to make my financial goals (a bus load more). I also am passionate about native species and want others to enjoy wildlife and nature for years to come, but the reality is that I also need to pay the utility bills! Can you tell us more about how you stratify and winter temp fluctuations in the greenhouse? is it heated?
Great logo!
Great content!
Thank you for mentioning the less appreciated pollinators. Please tell us more.
Dude, your videos are awesome!
Where are you?
Langley, BC
You're nursery is awesome, hope you keep at it! I'm helping my friend do the same thing in minnesota, this will be our 1st year.
Thank you so much for each of your vids. I am just starting a native plant nursery in southern MN and your tours of a working nursery are resonating with me. You often talk about your learning how to germinate this or that plant better - share HOW!! I am learning so much from you. Absolutely agree with above comment about Savvy Dirt Farmer and Frazer. Big big difference is that they are not selling natives. They have successful nurseries and i love watching them but as I am getting started there are many things that are different when selling natives. One piece of advice i got is to write down WHY i chose to open a Native nursery. It has been a good encouragement and reminder to myself on the days it feels futile (especially financially). Keep going!
Always love to see updates! Very exciting, I hope to get into taking some cuttings of stuff Im growing soon
❤ Collomia grandiflora. I had 1 come up from a wildflower seed mix packet, in the January after I seeded it in the fall. That one individual reseeded quite a bit. Last fall a bunch germinated and all the baby sprouts have been surviving the winter, which got insanely cold this year (for us, it was in the teens for a couple of days). I found collecting the seeds really challenging because the seed heads are very sticky. The best seeds will be around the outside as those are more likely to be out-crossed. The seeds on the top are selfed because the species is cleistogamous I guess? Mostly visited by bumblebees in my urban yard, not a lot else though their stems are pithy so I wouldn't be surprised if the small carpenter bees used them to overwinter.
Hi Josh! I just found your channel and am excited to follow another native plant nursery! We are a native plant nursery in Northern Michigan, this year will be our first year starting some of our own plants from seed. A few questions for you - are your hoophouses heated at all? How often do you water your overwintered plants? Lastly, what are your top native plants to start from seeds (for beginners). So glad we found your channel!
Yay Josh! So nice to see the fruits of your labour 🍊
That continuous mister is really nifty!
I hope the snow doesnt reach us down south ahahaha
Lol me too
glad to see you're back! the tours of the what you're growing is always a treat!
Wicked Josh!!! This is awesome.
Excited to see you still working!
You are definitely growing a lot more than me. I am still in college so I can only grow so much with classes.
When they have germinated and up-potted the plants, what do you use for fertilizer?
This was a nice video! Thaks for making it!
People can't get enough of native plants here in Georgia. I grow native plants and sell them, too. Just keep trying. And if you do go the seeds selling method that's awesome too. And occasion plant sales work for me.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Do you have any tips on IDing native vs. introduced stinging nettle or getting the specifically native subspecies nettle seeds?
hello fellow BCer! i moved to AB some years ago ( 2010 ) and im so happy to have discovered this channel! i spent all summer collecting seeds and im so excited on experimenting with germination over the winter/spring. go natives!
Great to hear! I sometimes think of moving to Alberta myself and doing the same stuff there instead. Maybe one day! Good luck with your germination!
awesome, i love saving seeds and collecting endangered native plants
Can you show all the native berrys that you grow ?
Def interested in more propagation videos
Maybe you can get contracts from government organizations who might need to buy a lot of plants for habitat restoration? Edit nm sounds like you're looking into it!
There is a local nursery in Portland and they actually develop their own more garden-type cultivars of natives (they also grow non-natives too though). I know you're more into actual genetic diversity, so cultivars might not be your thing -- but retail wise, sadly nativars can have a better chance of making it into gardens bc of aesthetic reasons. But what's cool is that these guys sort of travel around the area looking for unique local ecotype versions of things. I also think it's critical to be looking for strains of our natives that can survive in cities -- if you could find a strain that germinates more easily, or a version of something that ends up performing better in a parking strip -- you may be ensuring that species' long term survival in human-constructed landscapes. Hopefully you can find a way to be compensated enough to continue your work. It's so important!
Sweet, cow parsnip! I am trying to grow some Angelica lucida. It's not really doing much, but it's still alive at least... Omg I didn't even know there was a native dock! 🤯
Good to see another video from you Josh! Hope you are doin well!
