I am planting a large native garden at my workplace this coming spring. Im so excited and cant wait for the next couple years to see it mature. Im also growing native plants in my yard. I plan to start an annual plant sale and attempting to start up an online shop...we'll see. There are people doing quite well selling native plugs/small plants. Can you do a video on carex and native grasses and ferns? I know everyone is most interested in flowers, but these grasses, sedges, etc., are important too.

You are fast becoming a favorite channel. Thanks for pumping out a high volume of quality lectures!

Wonderfully informed suggestions!

I love this channel so much. Lexi and Kathy together are so much fun but then you added Katarina to the mix and it’s a party. I learned so much from this video, really all your videos. Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for videos like this! This is such a valuable resource. 🌱🌱🌱

Great presentation! I love this channel!

This was awesome, and such perfect timing! I'm planning out a cottage garden for my front yard to start this spring and trying to use lots of natives. Thanks so much!

Absolutely loving this presentation. So much learning in every slide.

Thank you for making these webinars available! This was excellent! Katarina is incredibly knowledgeable and her enthusiasm and joy for native gardening shines through. I learned so much and it was a pleasure to watch.

NATIVE PLANTS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Common milkweed buds just before they’re ready to bloom are delicious sautéed in a bit of butter; a bit of broccoli flavor.

That spreadsheet is a brilliant idea. Thank you!

Truly inspiring. Thank You ❤

❤🎉🎉 I love to let my asters get to full height. When they bloom, they look like a large purple cloud. 🎉🎉❤

Thank you for this informational and fun video.

Enjoyed this video. Like the hands-on mini-video too. I wonder about using little 2x2” plug containers inside the milk jugs, for easy transplantation once the seedlings reach 6” tall with 2 leaves. That way you wouldn’t have to tease the seedlings apart and perhaps damage them.

I used this list to ensure I had a good variety of native perrenials. The dog did get me confused. I have a boy home sick today, and I thought he was coughing!

Another amazing video! I always enjoy your presentation style. I would love to see a video on fragrant natives (clethra, new jersey tea, etc.) and one on butterfly gardening. Thanks again for your important work! You are a source of inspiration!

Very helpful. Thank you!

I have a ranch home with 2' eaves (about 9' above the ground). Would this be considered a dry area?

You gals do such a great job. I really appreciate your presentations, so clear and helpful. Thank you.

Great show ladies as usual. This one was most helpful for me. Going to add Shade Stumprey garden in my native plant area. Great ideas for planting other then ferns,

North Jersey. Thank you!! very informative!! You guys are the best

I am so glad I got a chance to watch this today. Jan 25. I am ordering more seeds to winter sow, and you just gave me some great ideas. I am definalty ordering the meadow rue and obedient plant seeds for my 3 acre parcel I am trying increase.pollinator habitat on.

Commenting for the algo!

Thank you!! I am learning so much from your webinars. ❤❤

Your videos are wonderful! I agree the template is pleasant green with excellent pictures and your easy going way of delivering information is just plain enjoyable! I am north of Boston and spent the last two years planting many of the shrubs that you mention in your video. Many are only a few feet tall but it is a joy to watch them bloom and grow. The leaf cutter bees have already used the Redbud and Spicebush leaves for nesting and the birds have already eaten the berries of the Winterberry and Red Chokeberry. Can't wait to discover what happens next!

This wonderfully informative and graphically pleasing presentation packed with growing tips, pollinator support ideas, and ecology is one of the many reasons I follow your channel. I am looking forward to more like this for other species. Is that in the works? Thanks for all you and team are doing!

Zones for showy goldenrod

Thank you for these awesome videos, I always get excited when I see a new video release on your channel 🎉

Thank you for this wonderful and helpful presentation! Blue mistflower and Virginia bluebells are good to intermix in a garden bed since they're a very similar color and bloom at different times. I just love that color.

Prairie Moon flags this as “difficult and/or slow to germinate and grow to maturity”, any issues you ran into germinating this from seed?

32:50 are you talking about the mock strawberry, potentilla indicia? Backyard Ecology has a video on these.

Thank you so much for the sessions. They are very educational

I love these two ladies. They are so funny and quirky plant nerds. I have learned so much of them. I found this page because I was starting a native pollinator garden in my front yard and on the hill strip in front of my house in Austin Texas. So far I have binged all of the videos. Currently, I’m see starting some sweet Joe pie weed dwarf, lance leaf coreopsis red yarrow black eyed Susan Prairie, blazing star, though I’m having a lot of trouble germinating that one currently have it in the fridge right now. Also starting some prairie drop seed and Texas sedge and Pennsylvania sedge. A few more but I can’t think of their names right now. thank you so much for these videos.

You ladies are delightful! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

I'm broadcast seeding native grasses, shrubs, trees, sedges, flowers etc. And hoping for the best. My plan was to rake, seed and mulch to cold stratify, but unusual persistent snow cover this year. In SW Pennsylvania and most of area leaf covered underneath snow so not anticipating huge results. Hopefully, there will be some germination. Have some bareroot trees and bushes ordered for spring planting to attempt a layered canopy. Planting objective is habitat and not a garden. Thanks for the videos. Your natives and mine are quite similar. Planting winter berry, service berry, dog woods, oak, maple, choke berry, elderberry. Viburnums, button bush, hazelnut, redbud, lead plant, Joe pye, milkweeds, spice bush, among others. Stopped mowing several years ago hoping to turn into a natural forest and didn't realize until about 18 months ago that most of what was growing were invasive so I spent last year eliminating much of that and now trying to cover as much as possible hoping I can fight invasives around natives. Bush honeysuckle and Japanese stilt grass were biggest offenders with burning bush multiflora rose, barberry, and misc others mixed. Local deer population likely the reason it didn't convert to an oak forest and I like a couple deer hanging around but they don't forage on any of the invasives . A work in progress... Keep up the good work with your videos.

Golden Groundsel is also known as Golden Ragwort. That’s awesome! I have a patch that’s expanding and have been moving them around on the property. This year my goal is to plant more along the lawn border to allow it to grow into the yard to compete with Creeping Charlie. I’ve been aggressively removing lawn; this plant is supporting my next goal to edge out more lawn. Great video!

I donger a few lightning bugs, despite my next-door neighbors who spray for mosquitoes. The spray cones right through my fence into my small yard. I do let my leaves remain where they fall.

By far my longest blooming perennial- it bloomed literally spring until frost in my garden last year.

Quoting the WEF makes you lose credibility.

Lovely designed template for presentation. Great shrubs I’m mostly familiar with. Thx!

Never heard that elderberry will make you sick eaten raw. I’m 67 and have eaten them raw since childhood.

I think this is the best overview of the entire process I've seen. Thanks for an awesome video.

It is so endearing to hear someone love native plants as much as I do. 🌹🫶 Didn’t know about coreopsis range central US- maybe that’s why I cannot grow it in North East - tried several times. Or need to find the variety that will grow - any suggestions?

Lovely presentation and pictures to go with amazing shrub choices. I have most of these and are as lovely and functional as you said. I’ll consider adding a witch hazel and the Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle or get them for my neighbor who’s also going native. Very nice presentation to watch during this very cold winter evening. Thx!

Ya'll based af what knowledge!

I love how involved you are in helping us understand and choose the right plants for our conditions! I just realized that I have not seen much (if anything) on personal conditions such as: *Pets and other animals (urine and running) *Children (running and physical interactions with nature like grass plucking) *Gardener age/ ADA and terrain of garden (my one neighbor in his late 60s has moss on his sloped walkway and has slipped on it; aging parent with walker, soon wheelchair-- ease of movement through garden, especially if no room in budget for walkways.) *Renter-friendly (what can be grown in pots and how to over-winter-- like with leaves, as well as what is worth leaving in the soil like wild ginger, for example.) Big fan of natives. Anemic wallet here inspiring to be incredibly creative. Just want to add that I already have approval from the landlord, so I am really excited. Just thought I would put this out there and see if anyone else has similar concerns. Thank you

"Cottle-Eden" is how we pronounce cotyledon in my area. 😂😂 I laugh because English is such a varied language. One word can be pronounced and spelled in like 5 different ways. Tomato, tomahto. Love your videos. LOVE your open love of the cutness of bugs and baby plants. Ain't nothing wrong with that (says the third pea from the same pod 😄).

This was the most comprehensive presentation I have ever seen on this topic. I noticed that you did not use any heat mats. Also, how could I incorporate soil blocking in this process if you even suggest this for natives. I especially loved the seed starting chart. I am a visible learner. So I printed it out and wrote all the seeds I am interested in starting by their Germ Code/Days above the start date. So much easier to figure out if you want to plan. I am in Zone 8 so I have started my C60 seeds. Thank you for sharing. I will be visiting this website often.
