    Great video but I wish you had a little bit more into detail about which types of plants are each type, why and how to use them in the design with visual aids

    Thank you for this. I "accidentally" have been using some of these techniques as a newbie land owner and completely ignorant gardener. So just have asked the Land to show me plus I work (more than) full time and work haphazardly. I have multiple sections coming sort of together so now want to learn and be more deliberate. Please to the hosts and other native landscape specialists, significantly involved and integrate indigenous experts. The section in the presentation highlighted 3 white men. I understand that these men have learned a lot but I found it very problematic. And completely oppositional to your presentation. See Linda Black Elk, Joseph Pitawanakwat, or Zoe Todd -- a wide variety of work represented in these three and they would have best referrals. But the point is that these white guys as experts of indigenous diversity is why we're in the boat we are now. Even in instruction, we teach way more in from the systems than we can know. This is why land back is crucial for actual, substantive survival and thriving.

    What native plants can you grow over a septic drain field?

    • @ottawacd
      @ottawacd 6 месяцев назад

      Definitely nothing with deep roots, you don't want roots interfering with your drain field. something like a shorter root grass/forb mix would probably be fine. Here are some recommendations: - Wildflowers & Forbs: For sunny spots: Butterfly Weed, Sky Blue Aster, Smooth Aster, White Aster, Sweet Everlasting, Canada Milk Vetch, Lance leaf Coreopsis, Purple Prairie Clover, Pale Purple Coneflower, Rough Blazing Star, Royal Catchfly, Lupine, Dotted Mint, Beardtongue, Black Eyed Susan, Wild Petunia, Stiff Goldenrod, Showy Goldenrod, Ohio Spiderwort, Hoary Vervain, New Jersey Tea, Lobelia, Flowering Spurge. For shady places consider: Astilbe, Hardy Begonia, Turtle Head, Ferns, Sweet Woodruff, and Lady’s Mantle. - Grasses, Sedges & Rushes: Sideoats Grama, Little Bluestem, Prairie Dropseed, Plains Oval Sedge, June grass, Prairie Brome. - Shrubs & Trees: These are not recommended over any part of a septic system. If you do choose to plant trees and shrubs always choose an upland variety and plant it far enough away so that the dripline of the mature tree will fall outside the drain field or mound. - Bulbs: Arum, Anemone/Windflowers, Crocus, Hyacinth, Iris, Lilies, Daffodils, Tulips. (Note: some bulbs listed are naturalized but not all are native.)

    Thank u for this video . I was looking for CA native plants when this video popped up. Had to convince my partner (who loves a nice green lawn) to do native plant landscaping. I’m so glad to see other regions of the US are also putting efforts into restoring nature in their communities

    good talk, this may be me just being stuck on this, but I really want to see a presentation on native plants that exclusively focuses on plants that are truly native to the area being covered. Our definitions of native landscapes are too broad and don't do enough to honor truly native local plant communities and rarely ever consider how the plant communities and landscapes we design fit into the larger local ecosystem. For example, this talk is for Ottawa so Echinacea, Rattlesnake Master, R. triloba, etc shouldn't be included. The diverse flora of the Ottawa Valley should have been highlighted, with mentions of histroical sand prairie and oak/pine savanna, the blending of southern and boreal species, list of common native species that people can use without impacting their environment, etc.

  • @Drd7682
    @Drd7682 2 года назад

    Excellent video. Great guidance for a large project we’re getting ready to undertake. My only wish is that you would’ve given an example or two of the different plant types as you listed them off: a feature plant vs a scatter plant, etc. This would’ve helped me better understand how you are using the terms and how I can better visualize the native garden. But that’s a picky critique of a very helpful video. Thanks!

    Very excited to learn from experts who are inspired by works of Piet Oadalf! Am still searching for experts who plant this way and like to use as many different plant families and maybe lesser known species in the north Texas bioregions, but these principles and inspirational pictures are fantastic! -kat (the wife)

    Absolutely wonderful stuff mate. I'm in the process of building a business here in southern England based on precisely this approach. I had the idea and then subsequently discovered others are already at it. I haven't had terminology for what you call block planting and matrix planting, but I shall use these terms here on in. A blend between block and matrix is what I'm going for with my first project. Same principles, just different species of course. We've lost 97% of our native perennial wildflower meadows over here. Reforesting is well known of, but other habitat loss is less known in the public consciousness.

    Can she start her own weekly native plant series? Even after 15 years of professional conservation work, I still can't remember as many species as she can. You can tell she really loves this. Great video!
