Could you explain how to mulch around a tree that currently has grass? I've heard that you have to allow the exposed tree roots to breathe so you can't just add a bunch of mulch,, but it's difficult to remove the grass because of all the roots underground. I don't understand how to accomplish this without damaging the tree or working too hard trying to get rid of the grass.

Love this series! I agree grasses make any planting look better. Especially in winter, all the leaves fall off the wildflowers but the grasses stay full all winter.

More fun! Thank you!

I would like to hear more about how to plant for both wet and dry areas. I have some of each!

Why do all your plans always have sunny front lawns. My front has a lot of shade from the house

For the second house, with those living room/low windows, I would put a Pondless waterfall facing the house, and a sculptural urn which gives it 360° of view. Viburnum plicatum ‘Popcorn’ is a single shrub that grows wide, but very prunable- not shearable! Broadleaf evergreens like Leucothoe might be something to look into.

I am loving this series. I can't wait for spring!

That's so cool!! We need updates. Pretty please 🙏

It’s very satisfying to see design ideas for different houses. I have deer & rabbit pressure. I don’t understand what hardware cloth you’re putting around new trees.

I'm getting lots of inspiration from your videos, but have a suggestion for the first house in this video based on my previous home where I rented. Move the garden from underneath the roof overhang and put the path there. Unless you use drought tolerant plants, you have to water that spot more often than you realize because it doesn't get rained on, and that's annoying and seems wasteful. It also gets less sunlight, so unless you're lacking in shady spots to garden, why not have the plants where more sunlight can reach them. Plus, if you put the path there then you will have some cover when coming to your front door in the rain. If the path ends up being longer because of this change, then you have more path to garden along- so I see that as a positive too. I was frustrated with gardening under the roof overhang where I previously lived. It was also where my spicket was, so the plants ended up being in the way of the hose and getting smooshed when I watered my vegetable garden if I wasn't careful. It ended up being filled with hardier plants that could live with less water and survive more disturbance from the hose. I am hoping to have my roof overhang extended when I replace my roof, so that I can have a wider path around my house and catch more rain; but I don't know if I will be able to afford to do so, or even if it can be easily done by the average roofer.

As always, love your videos! Keep on going with this series. It’s so fun. Also love that you’re normalizing having the cages around plants. I too learned the hard way about serviceberries. Felt weird about it the first couple years but they do eventually outgrow the cage.

Love these videos. So many great ideas.

What program are you using that gives you the different plants and ability to remove stuff? I’m working on some ideas for gardens for my new house and also for a few customers and this would make visualizing it all so much easier.

13:21 plus, if you want butterflies and lightning bugs, a lot of baby bugs need to drop from the tree and burrow in for their pupation. They have a harder time doing that with grass, so putting in shade plants helps on multiple fronts. (I love a fern for this, they look so prehistoric)

Lisa, you’ve inspired me with this video and I lived the last one too!

I absolutely loved your last video! It gave me really great ideas and kind of gave me permission to put things where I want them and not just have the traditional border gardens around a plain green yard. Boring! I also loved that you also said what you would do as a much more advanced gardener. I am a huge fan of your channel!!

This is great! I like seeing the thought process with the different houses!

Awesome ideas , this is going to help me for my newish garden bed. Do more😂❤ 🦋🐛🐝🐞

Loving these videos! From Ontario Canada, lots of overlap in our native plants and I wish more people know how beautiful they could be 🌱

And yes, those yellow flowers at the end are definitely Goldenrod- but I still think there's some rudbeckia submentosa in there! 😂 Counting down the days until spring, friends! 🌱🌱🌱

Do you have a video about the northern spice bush? What it tastes like, how to use it? Thank you!

They’re not yews! That’s Alberta Spruce! What kind of “expert “ are you?

Caps off

We had a crabapple tree when I was growing up and it was beautiful and didn't get too big. Highly recommend ❤

Is there a way to tell the difference between yews and Alberta spruce? My parents had Alberta spruces and they looked just like the yews in front of the first house in your video. Alberta spruce is a cultivar of white spruce which is native to North America

I just LOVE your work!!❤❤❤

Thanks so much for sharing a wonderful inspiring video. Thank you so much for sharing how we could really jazz up our garden.

You're my favorite native garden content creator. And when I tell you how hard I laughed with you stumbling in your robe begging us to stay… omg 🤣… sending you native garden love from Central PA! ❤

Just say "No" to Trumpet Vine anywhere. Trust me!

I never thought of using a wood-burning tool to melt the holes in the bottom, which is a great idea, but omigosh what if you also used your wood-burning tool to write the names of the seeds on the sticks?! I have one, too, and I am very excited to try this now, haha!

This was fun to watch! I'm glad I found your channel! I've had gardens of all sizes. Design is so much fun!

I too have lots of random, unidentified mom plants. Love your garden and all the info!

Love your channel. You have the perfect content/style combination. Its such a fix for my need to obsess, over plan and never actually get started.

Do you have any front yard shade ideas like this? I have three very large oaks in my small front yard facing east. The grass doesn't even grow, but I have some moss patches I really like. I'd like to do an under canopy thing but I don't know how to design it with the house and dig around the oaks. You make good inspirational garden ideas, thank you!

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I've been dealing with another autoimmune disease ulcerative colitis for over 10 years now and found a more carnivore diet meat/eggs makes it better and eating plants makes it worse. Sunlight and exercise too but supposedly there are compounds in plants that misfold the proteins in the body that makes the immune system recognize them as foreign. It's ironic that I spend so much effort growing all these native plants to stare at but at the same time I've drastically reduced the amount of plants that I buy to eat. My immune system is pretty strong now even with the immunosuppressant medications that I still take, I don't even really get colds or flu anymore. I could probably get off my medication if I cut out plants entirely but fruit and pasta gets tempting although less so as time goes on. The big downside I've found is losing electrolytes faster especially without bread and less things to compost.

Hi! I’m in Ohio , zone 6. Do you have a favorite redbud?

The rabbits came and ate ALL of the flower blossoms! No lie. 😢

Loved your video… could definitely use some suggestions for our front yard… a long overdue project because I can’t decide what to plant.

"There's a lot of us that move our garden out about 6 inches each year and other people in the house may not notice that we're expanding the garden." 😂🙋‍♀️🫣💃💐 Love your videos. This is a really interesting format. Thank you.

Nicely done. Agree one would want to see a smaller native tree for such a small yard and the power lines. The design is really wonderful.

What are free, easy (I'm not computer savvy) AI tools? I have SO many landscape plans but feel like I need to resort to taking pictures/ enlarging them and drawing plants by hand over those on an erasable clear film. I can see exactly what I want down to specific cultivars, in my head...but I really need to get this put on paper or a computer somehow so when I need help, it's clear to others what the plan is. Also...I stupidly planted a dwarf pear under the power lines running to my house...but it's all the more motivation to keep that bugger pruned. That "AI" house reminds me of when I did landscaping for people that wanted ground fabric/ plastic edging/ river rock and generic bushes installed all around new homes. BARF! I did it. Broke my back but wish I could go back in time with what I've learned over the last decade and advise them.

Excellent video in every possible way ❤ Anyone just starting doing something in their yard has all important inputs 👍 I LOVE that someone finally started to accent that there are other trees than maples 😂 ...and that trees actually grow! The damage that root system of a tree can do to the house is enormous (if we use the ground level to mirror the tree into the soil we can get a perspective how big the root system actually is!) So, yes to the trees and not close to anything we dont want damage by their roots (water pipes, gas pipes, house foundation, basement walls, driveways, inground pools,...) Choosing a tree might not look easy but picking a native species that thrive in our climate is always the safest choice - and by all means usually the most economical. I live in a city where we need a city approval to cut the tree in our yards so picking a wrong species can be a start of a very long and bumpy ride in more than just one way. And in my case as well: the grass surface is getting smaller and smaller 😂😂

You are so funny and energetic. Thank you for that

Such a wonderful and cozy video. I love how calming it was just to watch you create designs.

I couldn't agree more about protecting small trees... I planted 3 red oaks and put plastic spiral trunk protectors on them. A few weeks later, one of them was lying horizontal on the ground and I thought, 'what the heck?', turns out a vole had gone and chewed the roots off underground! Fortunately the other 2 baby oaks have survived. 🍃 Thanks for the video, great info!

What program did you use for this?

Thanks - this is the best video I’ve seen on cold stratification. If the seeds are really small and you can’t see them in the mixture, do you just spread the mixture around on top of the potting soil?

Gosh I love your videos. (And I would SO APPRECIATE A CHOKEBERRY PRUNING VIDEO) (And ugh, thank you for the push to protection before I pick up my serviceberry baby this spring.)

New Jersey tea would look great in the back boarder on the last house there. Really enjoyed this one! Do it again. 😄

You are just so fun -- I loved this video! Thank you!
