    Excellent video, thank you! I began gardening with native plants in 2015, taking classes, reading, going to lectures and gardens - but that was in Los Angeles! Now, as of 2021, I am the happy resident of a 17+ acre estate in southern Indiana and it's a whole new adventure. The climate here is upside down compared to the Mediterranean climate of southern California. But there is a constant I see and looking towards spring 2022 (my first here), I see the same excitement around springtime native plant sales, BUT, the very best time to plant is in the fall. Good, then, I must not rush. With all this acreage, my main focus has been, for these past months invasives removal (honeysuckle, privet, autumn olive, callery pear..!). But I will want to replace here & there, so probably I should continue my war on invasives and plan for the autumn native plant sales. And another comment! Climate is crazy different but native plant gardening is native plant gardening: mimic nature: leave the leaves!, make room for ground-nesting or reed-nesting bees, provide shelter in brush piles, stop carving bushes up and let them get - bushy. Try to think like a bird, or snake, or bug, or deer, or etc... Thank you again for a great video and the work you do for our fellow Earth inhabitants.

    I love native plants & less intrusive practices, BUT the reason there's a difference between an unmananged wilderness & a garden is the human element. It isn't wrong to remove some leaves - your garden isn't the prairie (probably). Some leaves, like oak, will smother what's under them.
    It's GOOD to prune your trees & shrubs. They do, in fact, benefit from it. Removing rubbing or dead branches, getting more sunlight & air in, and generally improving the appearance are all good reasons.
    Your garden isn't the same thing as the woods or the prairie. Borrow from its palette, but don't expect to do nothing & have something pretty. It just doesn't work.
