- Learn about many tough and beautiful plants for your garden! Andy Brand, Director of Horticulture at the amazing Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens discusses a plethora of plants that attract pollinators and are suitable for many garden situations. Many of these are surviving drought and haven't received water in over 6 weeks! These include native shrubs and perennials for both sun and shade, native grasses, plants with berries to feed the birds, others for the edge of a pond, and even learn about paw paws! See several caterpillars and learn how human activity has impacted them. Get ideas for planting hell strips as well. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a fun and beautiful place to spend the day while seeing many native plants and how they can be used in your garden to create habitat for our insects and birds. #pollinatorgarden #nativeplants #butterflygardening #nativeplants #droughtresistantplants #gardentour #gardenideas

I'm in Quebec. This is super useful for me too! Am working on getting rid of my turf bit by bit and replacing with natives. I can't wait to banish my mower to the shed forever! 😛
congrats , me also!
This is an excellent video! It's extremely informative and helpful. I would love to view tours of this garden with this host in each season! Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting, keep planting natives!
@@NativePlantChannel I'm a native here in Western Maine. Would you like to donate native plants to my garden?? I have no $$ but plenty of good intentions.
Love the video, straight to the point, and lots of information. Love that the plants are the main focal of attention and not the speaker. Learn a lot from a video like this.
Nice to see the Paw Paw tree in the video. It's also the host plant for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly and has nice yellow Fall color.
Thanks for commenting and keeping the butterflies in mind!
As a Maine gardener, i would love to plant more natives.
Andy is very knowledgeable and well spoken, and we love the CMBG. I was very glad to see some of my favorite natives highlighted here and also disappointed that some others weren’t mentioned like hobble bush, ostrich fern, sweet gale, pagoda dogwood and witch hazel, lamb kill and rhodora, both red and black elderberry, blue flag iris, and June berry. I have had great success growing these in Downeast Maine, and they are truly under appreciated. I could add several more....perhaps Andy could come back and do a part 2.
Yes, Andy is extremely knowledgable, and there are so many great plants, never enough time to cover them all.
Thank you so much. We were at your garden several years before covid and we were blown away!! I have been to the biggies but I couldn’t believe what you all have done. Especially the children’s garden. I want to go back to see your progress. I am in awe!!
Great information! Thank you!
Hi Lourdes. I’m watching from Ontario Canada. We share the same native plants here. I wasn’t aware of the suckering of paw paw. What an amazing place. Please make more videos of this place. Thank you ❤
This is excellent. Informative, beautiful and inspirational.
Thanks for commenting and learning more about natives! So glad you enjoyed it!
Great channel beyond words. After going through all videos today, I now have three pages of native plants that I want for my gardens! And your demeanor and voice are truly attractors! Thank you so much!! You get an A+!
Great information here. I’ve been looking forward to transforming my property into one full of plants that attract bees, birds, butterflies and other beneficial creatures. It’s nice to hear AND see what things I can possibly grow successfully on my property in central Maine.
Absolutely love the way Latin names drop in his talk!
Yes, so important to know the Latin names.
Lourdes, well done! Your guy is one of the best vocalizing our appreciation of these species, flora & fauna.
I am going to have to rewatch and have my notebook ready! I have read about several of the bushes that were featured, it was wonderful to see them in their natural settings.
Thanks Diane, get that notebook out and pause the video for notes!
Wonderful video! Thank you so much!
Wonderful video! Thank you. That bush honeysuckle in the parking lot was pretty amazing in such a hot, dry situation.
Yes, it sure was! Thanks for commenting!
thanks! great valuable info
Thank you so much for this video!
Love this channel. Thank you!
Fascinating, gratitude!
My favorite native grasses are panicums (switchgrass). Love the way the seed heads capture the sunlight. Twinkling in sun. Absolutely amazing grass. Panicum. Any variety although 'heavy metal' is probably my favorite. 'Totem pole' is a close second.
Yes, panicums are excellent as well.
this was great! I have a good list of plants to add this coming year. Thank you!
That Joe pye weed at 19:00 is definitely pushing 12 or 13 feet 😅 Beautiful ❤
Fantastic video! Thank you for the great information!
Thanks for commenting, so glad you enjoyed it!
This was great. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting, keep adding those natives!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for commenting, so glad you enjoyed it!
omg i wanna visit!
I have a lot of these plants, but this year, this drought has been terrible. My mountain mint hasnt bloomed yet, I hope it does. It has buds, but it is already August 22nd. Monarda fistulosa also only bloomed for a short time. Asclepias incarnata just a few short days of blossoms too. I'm hoping for next year. This drought has been bad and I hope we see some discussion of how plants protect themselves during droughts. That would be intersting to me. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for commenting, gardening involves patience and sometimes waiting until the next year.
i need to see more of that statue at 5:56
Which Joe Pye weed is it?
Natives to New England? I didn’t think so.
Actually, most of what are called native to any given area, New England especially are also native down the Eastern seaboard, because as the continental ice sheets pulled away to the north, they "pulled' plants as well.
Here's a good tool for checking if a plant is native to your area: www.bonap.org/
Where can we get seeds for natives?
Prairie Moon Nursery is pretty good...
Please note that a plant that is 'native' across a large area may be genetically different in different climate zones within the area. It is better to try to plant 'local' natives than to import seeds and plants from a different ecosystem far away (Prairie Moon is in Minnesota)
NPC? what an unfortunate abbreviation.
