This was super interesting!!!

Such great information!!

Fabulous, wait till you start adding shrubs and understory trees.

Oh my God did he say excited to rake the leaves. No no no do not remove or rake the leaves off your property

Gor anyone wondering this is a gentian most likely gentiana andrewsii

I love this and want to try one in my backyard! Thanks for sharing your process.

❤

Awesome info I tried germinating a bunch of seeds I bought last year but only had large seeds germinate like black walnut and pawpaw so hopefully I’ll be able to get other stuff to germinate this year with this info. Also I’d definitely be interested in knowing how to do orchids. If you guys could point me in the right direction that’d be much appreciated

Perfect example of how small spaces can make a difference for building back biodiversity! 💚

😁 excited to be considered for the contest!! Thank you for sharing!! 💚💚💚

Awesome garden and video. Native plants rule!!!

Fabulous gardens! Something to aspire to!! 💚

Omg, I didn't realize dense blazing Star could get so tall! Amazing gardens!!

Great info 👊🤠👊

I stumbled upon the NANPS plant sale at Christie Pitts a few years ago and the resources I found there kickstarted my balcony gardening journey. This RUclips channel in particular is a hidden gem with a wealth of information. Thank you for making this information so accessible and fun! 👏

Ryan Thank you! It is amazing what you are teaching us how to do. I feel privileged that I found this presentation on RUclips; there are only 2 comments so far so perhaps not many have seen it. I’m an amateur ecologist/permaculturist with a suburban home in coastal California and the state of NJ in the US. In California I have a soil-less yard I’m trying to grow food and natives in. In NJ I am using the front yard to bring attention to native plants/ecosystems to this tightly-knit town of city people new to front and backyards that can be inspired by all native potted plant arrangements that are beautiful. I love your approach of many plants in one pot. Go Diversity!

Wow! We have a pollinator garden and we have attracted many native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and moths! Good on you for creating the Danforth Pollinator Pathway.... lets keep the change happening! Replace grass on lawns and boulevards with pollinator friendly plants and see what happens! We live in Kitchener and have a seed library and always promote organic, and locally sourced seeds. Tricity Seed Library and Janice Lichti Photography.

I have one but not enough native plants

So many excellent points to consider for a home gardener. Thank you for sharing this important information! 💚

I've been analyzing your RUclips channel North American Native Plant Society. And find that your content is really good. I also noticed that your title-description-tag is not SEO friendly. Your channel optimization is poor, resulting in a zero SEO score. As a result, your videos are not reaching the right audience, which is affecting your view count. If you want, I can customize your RUclips channel according to RUclips terms. So that you can see better results for your RUclips channel. And I will do onpage and offpage SEO for your RUclips so that your RUclips channel videos appear in the top search results of Google and RUclips. Thanks and I look forward to your response

How raised garden beds help in climate change impacts ?

Thank you for your very informative presentation.

Fascinating. These studies of butterfly communities completely shatter our preconceptions around the respective roles of native vs. non-native plants in disturbed ecosystems. Who would have though that non-native species are in fact more highly preferred for visitation than most of the native species? Or that non-natives fill gaps in the phenological calendar to provide essential source of nectar for insect species. The evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that butterfly species have already adapted to mixed plant communities. I listened to the questions and the impression is that the native folks are desperately searching for a loophole in these findings. That did not seem to be the case. Perhaps we can find inspiration from the butterflies and learn to adapt our own thinking to this new reality.

Where can I purchase Canadian Yew? I am based in Illinois and Michigan.

thank you for this awesome video and for the PDF resources!

Excellent video, lots of standard little things, all done with nice neat different takes.

Wow so cool!

Me sticking my face into each level of the fridge at 1:00 AM

What a good capture!

Bro violated that flower 💀

My son chose this flower for us to grow, i am so excited this could happen in our own backyard! love this thank you so much <3

Thank you so much!! This was super helpful ❤

Yes thank you!

5:35 is when the presenter starts

Beautiful 👌🏻 😍 🤩

Same question as above, what were the authors he mentioned?

Having a hard time hearing the author names mentioned at the end to be able to search for them. Could someone let me know the spelling of those names? I am new to native plant gardening and adding things to my wish list as I go! Thanks!

Accounting for differences seems so difficult for a project like this, like does floral area account for differences in floral density per unit area, I would think it would have to. I don't think one can compare an area of shrub to an area of bulbs, obviously a shrub is going to win in flowers per unit area growing space as it has a larger vertical space and ability to cram in multiple flower layers. Don't envy them that task that is a very complicated comparison to do. You'd need to find native/non natives of similar nectar value to compare. Also what other pollinators are present factors in, just from anecdotal observations, I have some Grindelia integrifolia that I saw honeybees *trying* to visit, and but they were unable to while the space was dominated by Melissodes spp. that would actually knock honeybees off the blooms. Pollinators (I don't know about butterflies? --but bees certainly) can hold territories seasonally. Like I have some native Prunella vulgaris that a non-native wool carder bee was aggressively defending as well. And nectar toxicity? Like what if some nectar types may not be appropriate for pollinators in question because of their content of alkaloids or other chemicals. This is great I'd love to read the finished paper 😊.

❤ Great job. More pollinator yards please. Please do more updates of your projects.

Great video highlighting fantastic initiatives! This needs to happen everywhere! Well done and very inspirational!

such important work!!

I do this only all I had to do was allow the native plants to remain as they already were growing when we purchased the land. We simply leave a big strip and add a few of their favorites as well. We bought a sign asking our county mowers to bypass this strip, we keep it mowed a few feet from the roadway and we share our lovely wildflowers with everyone, including all the pollinators. ❤

Great presentation! It would be interesting to see if native butterfly populations are increasing or decreasing, even if they are using non-native flowers more often than natives as nectar sources in semi-urban/disturbed environments. If their populations are decreasing, this may show that restoration efforts need to focus, for example, on native host plants for caterpillars without concern of reducing non-native nectar sources.

Borage was a gap in my blooming..I have natives throughout the year and my large patch of borage sustained my huge bumble 🐝 bee s that visited all spring to summer as well my haskap early blooming helped as well

People trying to get into native plants and the only thing "experts" can talk about is white guilt and climate change

Rifle Colorado

Watching on 23 AUG. 2023, from Rockford Illinois. Growing pollinator gardens for many years and always enjoy watching all of the visitors to the gardens.

Wahoo, spicebush, hoptree, new jersey tea, blue beech.

"Kill your lawn" plant native. Don't forget the native trees! Great video! 👍
