Native plants attract and support pollinators and other wildlife. Nature thrives in urban spaces. Because of the pandemic, more people were home to notice the wild creatures that visited their native gardens this year. Habitat gardens offer solace and serenity through a season of uncertainty.

Wild Ones Front Range Chapter volunteers designed, sourced plant and hardscape materials for, and help install a hellstrip garden in downtown Denver. Working alongside volunteers from the Denver Turnverein and Uptown on the Hill, we've transformed an asphalt eyesore into a thriving inner city garden featuring regionally native plants that will attract and support pollinators.

Просмотров 2 тыс.4 года назад
A short video on how to collect seed from Prairie Coneflower (Ratibida columnifera). Collecting seeds in home gardens boosts the availability of regionally adapted native plants. Prairie Coneflower is one of the easiest species to collect, and doesn't require cleaning! A great plant for the novice collector to start with! Prairie Coneflower is easy to grow; it prefers full sun and low to no sup...
When is the next seed swap? I looked on you website in the upcoming events and could not find the information on the date. Thank you in advance for the information and reply! 💚🌱
We're in the planning stages... likely October/November. We'll update the website as soon as we have the date. Thanks for asking!
@@wildonesfrontrangechapter775 TY!
I have just one large plant, so the seeds won’t be as viable due to not having another plant of its kind around? It’s not self pollinating?😢
Hi - There are differing opinions on whether two R columnifera plants are needed for fertile seed. May we suggest the following options for you? a) plant another one if you have room and/or b) harvest your seed, put in a jug for winter sow, and see if anything pops up. We would love to hear how option b works out - we’re all learning, and sharing firsthand experience is so valuable!
@@wildonesfrontrangechapter775 Thank you for the response. Will do!
On future videos like this it would be helpful to a new Colorado gardener like me if you could include the plant names and the best conditions for growing them.
Just found you and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more great content like this video from you in the future. I am currently transforming my front yard and next up will be part of my backyard as I can afford the materials and plants needed
4:45 Hteat and encouraging message. Thanks for getting this out there. 💚🌱💚
Good until someone complains and you get a letter from the city to mow.
If you get such a note from your city, let them you know you are cultivating a native garden and list some of the species. Most cities support native landscapes, but they don't visit sites after a complaint (just send a letter) so you need to educate them. Also, consider putting a sign in your yard educating neighbors that what you are doing is intentional and for the local birds and pollinators. Good luck!
Spot on! Terrific video! Thanks, Wild Ones Front Range, for spreading this important message so clearly and beautifully.
Thanks for your support Kathy! We're excited for more people to incorporate native plants in their landscape. Beauty + environmental benefits = a win/win.
Go native plants! :)
Yes!!!
Great video! Thanks Wild Ones!
Thanks for watching and sharing!
great video!
I am sweating just watching this, but also my heart is warmed! What a fantastic labor of love! Blood, sweat & tears also, I'm sure. So much KUDOS!!!!!!!! and gratefulness for everyone who added to this endeavor.
I LOVE it 💓💓💓💓💓
And the music is called, "Let Go" by local (native ;)) musician Jeremy Mohney & His Band.
Beautiful. I can’t wait for my seedlings to flower! I fell in love with them when I walked a nearby prairie.
It's definitely one of the easiest plants to collect seeds from, and so generous! I think you will enjoy having it in your garden.
@@wildonesfrontrangechapter775 I’ve been growing them in a pot over the winter to stratify them, maybe about 20 have sprouted. I’m starting to transplant them around the garden. Thanks for sharing! Take care.
Wow! What an amazing transformation! Terrific work creating such a haven!
Thanks Yvonne! It was truly a labor of love, and fun to collaborate with other organizations. We're excited to see what's popping up in the garden this spring! And we are very excited that seeds that were collected in the Greenverein Garden this past fall are sprouting and will make their way into other urban gardens via the Pollinator Plant Swap in June. Please check out our website for details on that and other upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. frontrangewildones.org/
