Native plants for the home garden. (Eastern US) If you are a gardener and want to remove your lawn to replace it with native plants, you'e in the right place. Our ecosystem needs home gardeners to step in and start planting butterfly gardens, pollinator meadows, and native trees and shrubs to replace the habitat that has been removed. We can't do it alone, but together our gardens can provide a home for bees, butterflies, birds, and more wildlife than we ever thought! Spring is coming so gardeners, let's get planting!
DISASTER in the GARDEN: I can't believe this
Native plants are low maintenance in the garden but sometimes disasters do happen. This is a more personal video to show you what happened when I was gone for three weeks.

INCREDIBLE GARDEN could be lost FOREVER... (unless?)

A community garden in my town is in danger of becoming lost to history and needs help making it welcoming to the public again. When a community garden becomes overgrown with weeds, the town or county will eventually decide it's just easier to turn it back into mowed grass. We CAN'T let that happen, so volunteers are coming together to decide what to do with such a precious asset. Patreon www.pa...

How I STOPPED MULCHING 90% of my GARDEN
Переглядів 128 тис.5 місяців тому
Mulch is useful for so many gardens, but it looks like we might be overdoing it. When your garden is full of healthy plants, a lot of times there’s not room for mulch! Native plant gardens for example don’t need to be mulched, and they live mostly like nature intended. I replaced 90% of my mulch with plants and in this video you can learn how.

thank you so much for this, I am hooked, subbed immediately🎉🎉❤💚❤
Miss you! Hope you're well.
I bought red and yellow twig dog wood because it was labeled “deer resistant”…wrong. The label should have read deer magnet! Deers love dogwoods!
Back the camera out to see the entire plant. Thanks
It might be time to redo your driveway 😂😂😂 all jokes aside thank you for this amazing video
I planted 11 eastern redbud and surrounded them with 300 Pennsylvania Sedge. Hoping they will grow. Fun.
You have a great channel. What zone or state are you in? I am moving to central texas and want to have a lot of native plants. Will the same one you use work for me? Thanks.
Your Irish are beutiful
Thank you for this video! I ordered a Wild Geranium and wasn’t sure how deep to plant the rhizomes. I really appreciate the details. I have an Aster my aunt gave me so that information is helpful too.
Such a great video with good information. Thank you!
I have Rudbeckia toto, a small variety, lovely!!!!
Thank you for the information Blessings 🙏
I love your videos! I’m starting my native gardening journey and will be winter sowing seeds for the first time this winter. I hope it turns out OK. 😭
Thank you!!! 😊
Love your channel! ❤
Plant caryopteris! It isn't native, but those late-season blue flowers are gorgeous and the pollinators love them. Very drought tolerant.
I planted some Seep Monkey flowers and Scorpion Weed flowers. Both were really cool to see bloom. Thanks for the info in this video! I can't wait to plant some of my free seeds of AH. :)
I see some people offering free milkweed pods, native seeds, and native plants on Facebook!
Wow!
I have tiny brown skipper butterflies everywhere right now. Unfortunately my next-door neighbors spray for mosquitoes, so they will probably kill them all.
Just want to say thank you for sharing your garden! I'm also in zone 5b and you give me so much inspiration.
Please review the seven pollinator flowers more slowly.😢
This is great! Vinca Major and Minor have become a replacement for mulch for me; they trap moisture (my dogwoods & Hydrangeas appreciate) and block out most weeds once filled out, so they are a godsend around trees/shrubs (but they are like vines so work best behind a border and an occasional edge trim so they don't drape over into lawn. I live in Michigan so my soil is really clay and dries out easily and so instead of fighting against what grows easily/naturally around here (other than damaging/invasive ones), I'm trying to find ways to incorporate plants like this video. I also don't have a ton of money to keep the pristine lawns/gardens that other people do and so videos like this are encouraging and help me feel less crazy for not going with the cookie-cutter approach so many suburban Americans have with landscaping lol.
Ya well, I have seen one of my apple trees try to flower out of season before. It was just on one or two branches. But wait we're only trying to make it look good?? What it does do for the neighborhood? to me If I get sick in the winter. Dont want to by some sugar garbage costs a lot and does little. Those purple cone flowers help that and so many more.

Hi, how do I know if I have anise hyssop or not? Hi, thanks for your help...I am growing it for the first time ever and have one bucket full. Three stems started to flower up the last few days where the other stems are still green but look like they will flower up soon. Do I eat The STEMS, LEAVES AND FLOWERS? not sure on what part of the plant is edible. I am going to make that herb blend, Zaatar with it. Please let me know what you think. ps...why does my plant smell funky, like a skunk? I rub my hand over the plant and its skunky smell, is that normal? What is the end TASTE I should be tasting? The tea idea, not sure about cause it smells so skunky, but I WANT This plant to work for me, I grew up eating zaatar and want badly to make this work. Any help you can give would be wonderful. I have the blue flowers, but ya, smells like a SKUNK....So not sure what kind of hyssop I have. Thanks!!Shelly
Thanks! “A prairie plant”
Thanks!
Great video! I bought one plant at a nursery. It was very small and the first year it did basically nothing. The following spring, I nearly dug it up because of its poor performance the first season. Turns out that was all just ignorance on my part. Now I know that they don’t do a great deal in their first season. Anyway, I kept it and I am so glad I did! I have many plants around my house and this is my absolute favorite. Well, this and bottle brush Buckeye. From Sun up to sundown, bees are busy on the Agastache. I’ve been known to pull up a lawnchair, crack open a beer, and just sit and watch them. The plant is absolutely alive with pollinators. And that’s just one plant. I’ve noticed that on cooler evenings, bees appear to go to “sleep” on the flowers. They just stop and sit there. Guess they want to be first in line when the sun comes up.
Love your garden!!
Thank you!
I do know how heart breaking this is. I live in South Ms & we lost all my beautiful yard & house during Hurricane Katrina. It’s taken me over 20 yrs to want a pretty yard again. I’m old & it’s so much work even as a labor of love. Now I’m wanting to do a permaculture yard. Less weeding & upkeep plus practical. Can’t stop being in my 60’s & it being harder than m 40’s. But, I’ll plant more natives & faster growing. The great thing about plants is there are so many plants & designs to choose from. I had money, specialty areas, kind Martha Stewart like. A seating area at each location. We entertained at each according to sun light. Even moving to a second area during a day. Rose garden, Butterfly, Hosta, Tropical, Bamboo area w/ 3 types, Giant, Black & clumping. A Just everything & lots of trees surrounded w/ ginger. Another area of large & dwarf crape Myrtle. It was my life & my husband & I spent 4-6 hr a day in it. A golf day was a part day off of our labor of love. New, life here….husband passed away I remarried a great fun-living redneck we moved now ride Harley’s & a sidebyside utv, grow a food garden. We go Camping a lot. So, permaculture will be perfect & 2 hr a day yard work will be enough. 😂 When re doing your yard you’ll be able to add changes you might like such as a koi pond & walkways.
That was an adventure, for sure!
What do you think about the crabgrass? Should I kill it or leave it? Thanks!
It's not beneficial in the garden so there's no reason to keep it.
Well done!
Sedges have edges, rushes are round, grasses have asses, all the way down 😅
plants.usda.gov may be a good source. I just found out about this searching for native sedges in the USVI. I got about 34 hits!! Flatsedge, spikesedge, land beaksedge
What if I just let the grass grow instead of pulling it?
I’m looking for something to go under my fence line. I hate weed eating but enjoy monitoring & weeding by hand. I want it to look natural yet overgrown w/ some order. The fence will have hardy kiwi on it & maybe honey berry in front. Would the sedge be good for actually under a chain link fence & behind the next layer of edible? I’d thought monkey grass but like this look better.
Living in Las Vegas I'm definitely looking into sedge for fillers please and thank you !
my soil is like clay. thx good to know!
I do have lots of wild grasses and sedges on my property. Some I left because they are pretty and others are growing in the wooded area off the main yards. I'd like to grow more, but my immediate worry is about ticks... Ticks love tall grass, which is why we mow low and often... Google said: "The one sedge best avoided in the Summer is the pendulous sedge (Carex pendula), found extensively in the woodland. They tend to be the home to the tick, which is becoming more common and may carry Lyme disease."
Great video BUT it depends on location. Here in Middle TN someone measured the temperature of the ground with and without mulch and the difference was 40 degrees!!! Mulching is as much for temperature as weed control. (Since 1980 we've gone from 6A to 7B.) This year I covered my shrub and tree "gardens" with rock - extremely satisfied. After 20 years I have over 50 kinds of perennial and with annuals have finally learned to plant bunches - not single, lonely stems. The more the merrier.
Beautiful garden! And great video - Thank you for sharing New Subscriber 🌻🌻🌻
Wow absolutely love your channel and Agastache is now my favorite plant, actually I love all plants 😂. Your presentation is amazing with tons of useful information. New sub here TY. 😊
Rudbeckia Fulgida (planted in southern MN): 1. Rabbits started to help themselves, which I wasn’t expecting. Is this common? 2. The main stalk (not sure on terminology there) was taken down by rabbits. The lower leaves look great, but I won’t get flowers this year. Will the stalk grow back next year?
I'm kind of confused about which marker you recommend - the oil based one or the permanent garden one. Can you please advise. Thank you
Sedges are invasive and are detrimental to pastures .
You are thinking of invasive sedges. Like nutsedge. These are native sedges and do not cause any environmental or economic damage to agriculture
I just planted "Blue Fortune" agastache for the first-time..i am loving it, it's quite prett, and I'm hoping my hummingbird pair discover it. I would love it if you'd talk about growing clematis. I keep trying...plant it correctly, etc. I dont ever get a gorgeous , full blooming plant. Scraggly leaves and few blossoms, and it's very disappointing.
Thanks for your question! I'm not too familiar with clematis, so I can't give good advice. Erin The Impatient Gardener may have some clematis videos and probably Jim Putnam with HortTube. Good luck!
Mine is blooming already and it's August The first part of August In fact they've been blooming for a couple of weeks, About to bees ❣️ smells so good ❣️
