I so admire Dr. for speaking up… « Half the country voted for environmental collapse » It is truly painful that so many people don’t see a connection ❤️‍🩹

Please delete the biased political comments.

That's a lot of moths, wow!! I never knew you could have that many in one location.

"Environmental art" - I love this! Thank you, Preston, for defining what I do too in such good words.

This presentation is done very professionally maybe too complex for most gardeners , I have many years experience with natives and you lost me in the presentation even though it’s well explained it’s way to technical for someone that just want to know about resilient drought tolerant native Texas plants . You show those extraordinary landscapes at the beginning of the webinar without mentioning or showing any pictures of the plants . I stopped watching midway , Homeowners needs to see achievable everyday landscapes with lots of full size grown plant pictures to help them visualize the plants in their own gardens , not the fairytale gardens that is done professionally on a larger scale by professional landscapers , the majority can’t afford to hire this kind of service . I am a member of Wild Ones in Western PA , I am very active in my community I wanted to watch this webinar because my daughter lives in Hempstead Texas when I go visit I work on her Landscape , there isn’t lots of documentations on Texas Native plant species as much as the Northeast . If we want to help homeowners planting Natives we have to make this easy to understand , technicality keep it easy to understand and short , focus on lots of drought tolerant resilient plants that host the most Lepidopteras and attract specialist bees . I may be out of context a little bit here if a webinar can send this message out it would have a big impact and reach out more communities of all social levels . Thank you very much for all you do !

got cut of before the end of the webinar (pretty close to the end I believe: just THANK YOU! so much information and many good ideas to think about.

Is it possible to send a list of plants you discussed?

Thank you - wonderful presentation!

How do you eliminate existing plants in order to transition to natives? Herbicides? or...?

Native Texan; home has been Virginia for over 35 years; family is based in East Texas.

Greetings from San Antonio!

Adam Woodruff is a very talented landscape designer and in his garden he used modules.

This 54 minutes video form Benjamin is much better then the academy of K. Norris that ask almost 400 with little to no addition to your understanding.

Literally where are the plants on the roof what if like there was plaster of cement that allowed water to flow and then moss or mycelium to grow around. I wish more people would build in harmony with nature. Although congratulations for going the extra mile of supporting wildlife with your landscape . Thank you for going the extra mile to support creatures that matter because they all do big or small

This was great, and I'm glad I got to enjoy it live. It's probably the best gardening webinar I've ever watched, and I've seen quite a few.

Why wouldn't it work to seed grass/sedge matrix first and then coming back in with the forb plugs later, perhaps on a maintenance day?

Thank you, Benjamin and Wild Ones!

Glad to see this available here!

very helpful presentation! Thank you!

Great presentation, solid fact based and garden tested information with wonderful humor. Thank you!

Hello from Wild Ones Greater Baltimore

Joining from Ohio. How do you kill lawn areas before planting? This was great information!!! Thank you!

I found this very useful, and I appreciate the presenters sense of humor. Thank you.

I plan on doing a matrix design under my 100' tall red oak. How can I combat the 1000s of acorns that will germinate with the matrix?

I wish I had this talk a year ago!

How did you kill of them grass or what would you recommend?

Never got the zoom link. Was wanting to ask questions

Hello from Charlottesville, VA!

I registered today but never got a link. I hope you will send me the link to watch it later.

Well said! ❤

This video needs some sped up, whimsical music.

Great photos, would help to know the names of the specific plants covered in each photo.

Excellent! LOVE the inquiry about why Americans leave the yard open! Brilliant and so well stated how to GROW on this edge instead. We are slowly beautifying our downtown with these concepts and vision in mind. Grateful for your passing on the knowledge. Reverence!

This is just full of good information about protecting and restoring good soil and how to include native shrubs and understory around an urban/suburban property. Keep in mind at least half of the plants mentioned are specifically for the Northeast and would not do well in the more dry clay soil of places like Illinois or Iowa. However, the overall concepts are vital to learn.

Fantastic presentation. I loved seeing the sketches along with the plants. Those guides look awesome. I need to buy them.

So informational! Thank you dearly!

Is there such a thing as a time-released fertilizer to use rather than using Osmocote?

Would you please send the link for these publications in the follow-up email?

As in photo, my neighbors make trellises with brush.

The Wild Ones merch link that was shared does not provide fabric content or have a statement guaranteeing that items were made without child and slave labor. Where is correct link for standard information please?

I think this needs a modern update.

What is a native lambs ear?

Can you talk about nativars and their value or harm to biodiversity
