Thank you ❤ I have always wanted to restore the Native plants ♥ I'm on Gravois Creek, with woods behind me. But, invasive Japanese "Honeysuckle" has resulted in the loss of all the understory.

This presentation is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much from Boston, Ma.

Just wondering what components are in your potting mix. I was thinking of mixing coco coir with compost in equal parts and excluding perlite. What do you think?

Hello! i wont be confined by what my plant nursery carries. I will find the plants i want to find

Ohio Spiderwort for disturbed or new tall-grass prairie Virginia Spiderwort for woodlands Pr.Spiderwort (Tradescantia brateaica) for glades and short-grass prairies

One of the trees I've never been a huge fan of (in my yard anyway) is the Sweet Gum Tree. Here recently, my wife noticed the American Gold Finches eating the seeds from the Sweet Gum Balls. That was pretty cool. I have a question for you guys. If I try to propagate some limbs from an Eastern Red Cedar, and make sure to get the cuttings from a tree with the Juniper Berries, will that ensure the tree will produce the Juniper Berries when it matures? I want a tree that'll produce the berries in hopes of attracting the Cedar Waxwings.

My son is all for preserving and restoring prairies and woodlands he is glad to hear all this!

Very inspiring presentation...!

FYI: You REALLY DO Need to get rolls of "deer netting", and cut pieces to fit across the outside glass window, or door, and tape it there, to cover the entire expanse of glass so that the approaching bird will see it, before they impact the glass, and get killed, or injured!

THANK YOU, FOR THESE SUGGESTIONS, FOR NATIVE SPECIES HABITAT GARDENING!!! IMHO: BEING "NEAT & TIDY", IS A MENTAL DISORDER, AND THE GARDENER NEEDS TO DETOX THEIR MIND!

PLEASE, BE SURE TO LEAVE ANY, AND ALL OF THE OLD MILKWEED STALKS, ALL THE WAY THRU THE FOLLOWING SUMMER!!!...BECAUSE ORIOLES WILL STRIP OFF THE LONG STRANDS OF FIBERS, FRON THOSE STALKS, AND USE THEM TO WEAVE THEIR WONDERFUL NESTS!!!

Thanks Mitch. I've been planting native plants, and it's a year-to-year experiment on what survives.What other seminars are you planning?

When you have a lot of birds in your yard it sends a message to birds that they are welcome there. That there are resources there. Then they find the plants you planted for them faster.

Something is eating zinnias though, because there are always holes in the leaves. They are beneficial to a degree because the goldfinches eat the seeds, and they are an almost season long supply of nectar and pollen.

I going to recommend the GrowIt BuildIT channel here on RUclips. Great videos on winter sowing and videos of him growing native plants from seed.

This was incredible! Loved the integration of art analysis as well! I’m planning a very cottage garden themed food forest design on my plot! With a focus on edible landscaping in the front yard, wanting it to very much blend in and just look like a beautiful garden!

This presentation was really refreshing!! So many times, there’s so many rules to starting native plantings. It’s nice to hear to just put the plants in or just sow the seed. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

I'm sorry for the few people who just chose to complain or correct you in the comments. I appreciate your taking the time to put this presentation together & enjoyed it greatly! I took notes to implement some of these ideas in my _dream yard to-do_ list. Thank you again from central Illinois!

I’ve watched a number of similar presentations. Most of which closely follow Doug Taulamy’s books and presentations. While his materials great, I thank you for taking the time to bring in and present a broader set information.

Would love timestamps on each section ❤

My math nerd two cents. Plants on 18'' spacings are 1 1/2 feet (or 1.5 ft) apart on both sides. - To find that square footage each plant occupies, multiply 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft, which equals 2.25 sq. ft. - To find the number of plants, divide the total square footage by 2.25 sq. ft. - So, using the 1886 sq. ft. in the Laura Engles Wilder Museum example, you'd need 838 plants. This makes it easy to figure plant numbers by different spacings. For instance, 15 in spacings are 1.25 feet, so you'd divide by 1.6 plants per sq. ft. So you'd need almost 1,200 plants. While on 20 in. spacings, or 1.7 feet, you'd divide by 1.7 squared (2.9 sq, ft.) and would only need 650 plants. Okay. My apologies. When I see a math problem I have to explain it since it makes sense to me. Cheers, and nerd, out...

😘

So helpful. I love being able to see what the plants on my list could look like.

Missouri is not in the Midwest, it's a plains/prairie state. Big difference.

Wonderful, information video! I so appreciate learning and hearing about everything shared. Hope to learn more over time as well. I will look forward to more content from this channel. Paula

I know I planted the roundleaf groundsel at our new house (because the package is empty) but I can't find my note as to WHERE I planted it. (Oy.) will the 1st year foliage be pushing out already?

Knowledgeable.Every other word is uhm or uh which is distracting.

That’s the most helpful info I’ve seen concerning urban native gardening. The yearly progression photos especially. Thank you!

Call me crazy but,,,, every farmer owes a slice if his land to be restored to this practice. His soils are a product of it.

Adding round up...and comparing to farmers use is unacceptable

Such a detailed and useful presentation. I did screen shots of his plant suggestions. TY!

Alright

Nice

I would to love to learn more.

Just little crumbs are all that's left of true prairie habitat. Good info. Like the talk about soil microbiome.

I'm liking the pretty pollinator collection..idea...to start.

The proposed climate change mitigations won't work. Chevron's CEO explains why: "If we were to shut down every vehicle on the planet today - every car, truck, ship, train, subway, airplane, we would reduce greenhouse emission by about 15%. So these greenhouse goals that are out there are based on good intentions, but not in any realistic assessment of the situation. So I think the odds of a 50% reduction in greenhouse emissions by 2050 are very, very low because there are billions of people on this planet that are moving up the scale of lifestyle and they will consume more energy to do that. You cannot turn back the tides of progress in these parts of the world."

thanks!

I'm glad to find this online. I had scheduled a couple of programs from St. Louis Audubon Society for 2020 for my library, but then COVID19 hit. Looking forward to having the Bring Conservation Home come to my house.

I really enjoyed this.

Thanks for posting! I can really relate to the garden at the 23 minute mark. Hoping to reign it in this year!

This was a wonderful presentation!

I'm interested in the hedge trimming bar he puts on his trimmer - can you provide a link? Note - I personally use a hedge trimmer and it works well for cleanup.

Will the birds will eat the Japanese beetle larva from the sod in my yard? And should I cull the milkweed beetles from the swamp and whorled milkweed or hope a bird finds them? Thanks for any thoughts on these.

Zoomed the webinar last night. Very informative seminar on ants.

very nice

Fantastic!!!
