- How was I able to find so many native plants in just a few weeks? Today, I am sharing how I was able to find new plants for my backyard garden rewilding project. I was able to get most of these plants for FREE or almost nothing. How did I do it? And where will I plant these beauties?
This year, I have some big dreams for my backyard. I am hoping to add some raised beds for my new fruit and veggie garden, start composting and planting more native plants in my landscaped areas to transform my backyard into a haven for local wildlife and place of bounty and beautify for me to enjoy with my family and friends.

I have salal, raspberries and thimble berries this year. I hope they spread like crazy. ❤
That’s awesome. I hope you get great fruit harvests!!
What zone are you in?
I’m in zone 6b, formerly 6a.
@@reynaandtheworld Thanks. I'm in 9b
what soil did you use in your trays?
Good question, this was probably not the best side by side comparison because I am sure that the ones I started last fall were in whatever potting mix I had lefter over at the end of the season possibly reused from other potted plants the tray I started inside under grow lights I used the Back to the Roots potting mix I got at Target.I bought it because it was relatively inexpensive and peat free but it compacted down and dried out quickly. I wouldn't recommend getting that if you have better options.
I’ll never participate in a random plant swap. You are potentially inviting plants that have grubs or other pests attached to the roots or harmful soil nematodes, etc. Or, something inconspicuously attached to the foliage. I grow from seed and my own soil to minimize cost and avoid bringing in outside diseases/pests.
Fair enough, that’s certainly a risk any time you bring in outside materials, whether it’s compost or leaf litter or mulch, or plants. Growing everything yourself is one way to do it . . . But I like the idea of sharing and building community
@@reynaandtheworld Right, there’s always a risk. That’s why I used the descriptor “random” plant swap. For me, I don’t know the skill/knowledge others have so I will engage in purchases through the county extension departments and commercial products, where there are some levels of control. Building community is a beautiful thing - I share my plants freely, I just don’t bring randoms in.
