'Nativising' a historic Pennsylvania garden with Ethan Kaufmann
Ethan Kauffman is Director of Stoneleigh, a historic landscape garden, but which has been re-imagined using native plants. Owned since 2016 nby Natural Lands, a body that preserves wild spaces in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey, the garden is being re-planted with regional natives often from wild collected seed. He talks about supporting local biodiversity, the importance of cultivars of natives for attracting the public interest, using dead trees for sculpture, the innovative and adventurous use of climbing plants and much more.

Gerald Luckhurst, an English Gardener in Portugal
Thank you for this really interesting presentation! I LOVE the before & after pics! I’m a native Pennsylvanian and was just at Stoneleigh a couple weeks ago 😊 - can’t wait to go back! Thank you to the gardeners for showcasing our wonderful native plants!
"What is it with you Americans and your natives?" It's the difference between growing things strictly for yourself and actually having your space support something greater, like the planet. I've worked in the horticulture industry and seen how it's actually contributed to the decline of nature. We as humans can either support our only home or contribute to it's demise. Which is more important; a magazine spread or leaving something for future generations?
Get off your high horse. This is a cultural thing. In the UK we have very few invasive species despite bringing in thousands of plants from all over the world partly because of our climate and also partly because our native species are better adapted to human activity, so very few things can outcompete them. This is why so many European species become invasive in the US, because they are better suited to living alongside humans and our activities than your natives. So in the UK we tend not to be preoccupied with this native vs non-native debate because our natives almost always win without our help, and your natives can't deal with ours.
100% agree. Any INDUSTRY's sole focus is to grab profit and perpetuate it's continuation. It is a bad system that needs to change if we are to improve life in general for the whole planet. Using migrant labor to churn out easy to propagate plants that thrive on neglect is not sustainable (from a wildlife perspective) and created massive seed banks of invasives.
Customer demand and traditional 'money makers' determine what you can find at a garden center. A UK customer would be appalled at the meger offerings and lack of diversity available in US stores. The Industry creates repeat sales by offering non hardy seasonal (disposable) items.
Recently the trend is to Hype TM cultivars with Pretty Names that it is illegal to propagate and share with friends & family. I understand they should be compensated for their R&D but this will lead to less diversity, less natives and will destroy the soul of the gardening as a lifestyle. No one paid attention in the late 80's when Big Ag started copywriting seeds aggressively.
A huge Thanks to everyone working to save native species everywhere! Sorry to keep commenting here. Comments are turned off on the main post for some reason.
I can't wait to come visit. This looks amazing. I'm really intrigued by the idea of diverse native hedges.
Why is the word "defrost" a synonym with both thaw and unthaw? Why is inflammable not nonflammable but rather easily inflamed?
Great roundabouts … try telling Exeter City council…their beds, verges and roundabouts are abominable. Easily the worst I’ve ever seen in Uk. shocker !
Fascinating!! What a great mix. And very inspiring. Thank you!
thanks for sharing this video and the theme 'Chaos and disorder' is nice because it is part of our lives.
What a wonderful perspective, very inspiring!!!!
So lovely!!!
Brilliant❤ 🍎👏🏻👏🏻😊🗽💪🙏🏻🤘🏻
Didn’t the Salutations garden get badly damaged by a flood in 2013?
Great to see you here Lukasz.
If we are building beautiful habitat around our homes we have to consider the fact that we are drawing in birds for potential window collisions. There are beautiful options for bird safe window treatments
It is amazing to see someone so young having developed so much - gives hope for the future 😊
Really liked these guys, great chat. Thanks.
It's not a rocket science to figure out why we have c.l.i.m.a.t.e/weather change. Just look up the sky...it's literally 'science' there. So much 'science' that if you check the weather online for the next day the forecast is never accurate. Makes you wonder about the meaning of "man-made c.l.i.m.a.t.e.".
Lukasz weze pija mleko :) tak mawiano
Great slavic going on
Panie Profesorze, subskrybuje Pana kanał. Mam mały ogród, który całkowicie zmieniłam, po powrocie z UK , urzeczona naturalnym wyglądem ich ogrodów. Nie mam zbyt dużej wiedzy ogrodniczej więc idzie mi słabo. Dookoła wypasione domy z trawnikami i iglakami ale spacerujacy z psami zaglądają z ciekawością do mojego ogrodu , bardzo mnie to cieszy, bo jeszcze 25 lat temu nie odroznialam sosny od swierka . Podziwiam Pana wiedzę i to co Pan robi . Chętnie przyjechała bym na jakieś warsztaty jeśli Pan prowadzi jeszcze . Pozdrawiam serdecznie .
Glad to see Łukasz Łuczaj at international podcast.
Trees are silent noble entities - who give of themselves ceaselessly. All round benefactors. Invaluable beings. And beautiful too. One sits here - speechless - and heart drooping - in gratitude. Fare thee well - on life's journey.
I grew up “over the hill” in Redwood City and often drove past on the way to the beach. Never got to see it as I moved away in the late 60’s when it was still a private home. Thanks for this visit 😊
Thank you! As a follower of Garden Masterclass living in California this program was especially significant for me. I grew up visiting Filoli as a child with my family. It's fantastic to see all the new opportunities there. I love that they have added hiking trails, the forests there have always fascinated me, they are so lush, providing a beautiful contrast to the gardens of the estate. I will be making a return visit soon I hope.
I loved the 3000 mile garden and have the book 😊
Wonderful ! I just happened upon this episode and am delighted that I have. Much appreciated and thank you.
A book for my wish list!
Excellent info, thank you!!!!
I have many gardening books but none that are as well photographed as Claiere Takacs' books.
What a great interview! Lovely to see Noel's familiarity with Oriana Fallaci! Antonio is a great designer and a great teacher. I have wonderful memories of a workshop with him at Radicepura in September 2019. Ciao from Daniele Altieri.
Ben Pope is absolutely fabulous! I live vicariously through him. .
A lovely conversation, thank you for having her on! I really enjoy watching these recordings.
Excellent presentation, thanks.
Loved the visuals from the authors and really great vision from them ✌🌿
Totally agree!
Porcupines eat my raspberry bushes every year!
ohhh, I scrolled here by complete accident. One of your books is sitting on the coffee table in front of me :D
Wonderful program. I go to the Wildflower Center frequently. You should also check out the John Fairey Garden in Hempstead, TX. They have a special garden and unique collections, especially of Mexican plants made by the founder.
Thanks for the interview. This was excellent. Gardening is for sure good for us and healthy. In the scriptures, the first couple were put in a paradise garden and given the assignment to expand it. It was literally a God given assignment. Obviously things have taken a detour but the prophecy in Isa ch 65 is encouraging. In the meantime people like Rebecca give us a wonderful glimpse of what is possible.
Enjoyed. I was looking at a Conde Nast Garden magazine from 1998 and saw a little article on Neil Diboll and googled his name to see what he might be up to these days. So that's how I ended up seeing this video. I started a native yard back in the mid 1980s and first started with the native trees, then the native understory and in later years I've been working with native shrubs, wild flowers and grasses here in Florida. I could relate to the invasive problem as we get Boston ferns which are a real menace and sneak in from the neighbor's property along with Brazilian peppers etc. I keep up some trails for the sake of the resident threatened gopher tortoises and the ferns are a constant battle. And I keep a wildflower and native grass area for the tortoises, too. There's a website on the gopher tortoises that has a list of native plants that they like that I use as a reference. The natives do make a big difference in helping out the wildlife. I'm up to 143 species of birds now I've seen on the property or from the property like flyovers. I had to search out the native nurseries for plants. I'm enjoying see the painted buntings as a few are still here. They are migrating currently north up the coast to breed and will return to my yard the first week in August. They eat the seeds of some of these wildflowers in the yard. Thanks so much for the video.
Absolutely fantastic... thank you for the inspiration. Found you from the women's Ted talk. You rocked my world.❤😊
Hello Alla. So nice to see you and hear your story. Best wishes for you and your husband. The peonies I bought from you two years ago are now starting to show the first leaves. Thank you very much, Noel and Annie for this inspiring video. Beauty will save the world. Slava Ukraini!
Thank you for posting this interview of Alla. I purchased some Clematis seeds from her just a few weeks ago. Her passion is quite evident.
great convo! Thanks for one of the freshest looks at our shared dream for this short life and beautiful planet.
👏👏👏
It’s extremely rewarding seeing my Land buzzing with Life, color, and texture. Encouraging Native Biodiversity has been a Life changer for me 😊🙏🕊️
Hope that bird is a rescue and not a pet.
YES, rescued from my park!
I agree we need to embrace colour! I come from central Canada surrounded by wild places and colour abounds mixed between ferns and grasses, huge swathes of aster and clover and fireweed, entire fields of pink roses, in summer the prairie is a haze of purples and yellow, bright red and orange berries stay through the gray of early winter, in early spring huge drifts of willow and dogwood are fiery red and orange against the bleached grasses and blue sky.
