Loved your tour!! Maybe u could do a monthly tour so we can see what it looks at different times! So beautiful !
I would love to! Thanks so much. 🌱🌱🌱
Birds ❤ old milkweed stems in spring. They’ll tear at it and get silky nesting material.
Love it! 🌱🌱🌱
Your garden is a perfect example of how beautiful native plants are and can be in the modern landscape. You’ve designed everything beautifully and it’s definitely a garden I aspire for in the future
Thank you so much for your kind compliment!🌱🌱🌱
Agreed with the comment of can you do this more through the year so we can see more phases of your garden, it's inspiring / giving me lots of ideas for my own garden. Could be a fun series to see phases of your garden along with how you determine what gets thinned, what gets relocated, plans for next year as fall approaches, how you winterize, and how you prep for next spring. Will say this over and over; thank you for starting your channel, it's exactly what I needed to get my garden started. I am in year 1 and really looking forward for the next few years.
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I will do more of these for sure! 🌱🌱🌱
Great tour and lots of inspiration! I love penstemon hirsuta and digtalis so will have to find some of the grandiflorus! I gathered seed from the hirsuta and digitalis last year and they germinated well in winter sowing jugs. I hope they spread themselves around. I winter sowed some carex but used lasagna pans and they dried out. Sigh -- will try again. I agree with you, the only reliable mulch is plants with the added bonus that you can have so many more plants. I am currently in Zone 7a the Hudson Highlands NY but I grew up north of Milwaukee. We had a woods full of trilliums, dog tooth violets and mayapples. I have loved wildflowers ever since. Trying to encourage and re-introduce natives on my NY property and to beat back the invasives. I love your channel.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment
Love your garden.
I watched in my pajamas. 😉
Perfect. 😂🌱🌱🌱
This is going in my rotation of videos and podcasts I can use when I need to relax or can't get sleepy - loved the tour!
I'm so glad! Was worried it was going to be boring, but I think the fact that everything is so green is really refreshing! 🌱🌱🌱
My conoclinium went crazy with the spread this year. I adore that blue penstemon!

Glad to know I'm not alone! mine is aggressive, I pull out half of it every June and I also cut it back by half to keep it from opening up in the center.
Can't wait to see what you talk about next!
Thank you so much, you are the best! 🌱😍🌱

Looking forward to the update on the blooms!
A wonderful garden full of amazing texture combinations!! I LOVE IT!
Maybe the unidentified plant at 16:00 is liatris spicata? I think mine looks like that. Maybe not. Anyway, your garden is proof that native plant gardens don’t have to look wild. Excellent.
Thanks for the compliment! It does look like liatris! 🌱🌱🌱
Just joined your channel and watched lots of your videos. I'm just getting into native gardening in Michigan (working on a rain-garden-under-duress right now) and it's awesome seeing you answering various questions, showing how to do cold stratification (I was intimidated, but I will give it a shot!), and It's appreciated to see that other people do trial and error learning. (I have a few early garden-regrets I'm working on fixing up.)
Thank you for showing your lovely garden - it makes me feel like I can get something both visually awesome and mindful of the native plants and animals for my area.
What a thoughtful comment! Thank you and I'm so happy you are planting native plants, you are going to have so much wildlife!🌱🌱🌱
Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful garden and great video, Your native plants that I have in my flower beds are gaura, echinacea, coreopsis, monarda, rubeckia and shasta daisy and the bees love them.
Loved your tour..thank you! Your yard is a heaven for the birds, bees & butterflies! Funny seeing your cactus….I found some growing way out on a rural gravel road ditch just last week. Not native to Missouri, so somebody must have thrown it out at some point. I jumped out & twisted off a couple pads and planted them.
I have a couple of Penstemon digitalis 'Mystica' plants that have very dark leaves. I'm in Europe, and haven't seen any caterpillars on them, but local wild bees adore them. Several species buzz in and out of flowers all day long.
The bees love the nectar.
From what I recently learned, the genius is Monarda or Monardis. I ordered two online and then I saw a few bee balm at my local nursery. I also didn’t know I had wild Bergamont seeds from last year that I believe needs cold stratification. Those seeds I bought at a farmstand on the way home from one of the rest stops in New Jersey.
Thank you! You’re channel is exactly what I am looking for!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tour and all of the content! Long story shorter, I’ve had to let some things go for a while because #life…so as I start to take back some of my spaces and learn from my mistakes 😬, you’re inspiring me to consider and incorporate more natives. I was also today years old when I realized some of those “weeds” I have might not be….
It’s also nice to hear a natural Chicago accent. I’m a few hours away and don’t get home enough.
Haha thanks for the compliment! I wish you good luck with your garden this year. A little bit at a time! 🌱🌱🌱
Bee balm is from the mint family so it will definitely spread in your garden.
Your garden is very pretty!
Thanks notoots! 🌱🌱🌱
The flats you started look unreal! Would be interesting if you shared how you pulled that off SO well.
Wow the Penstemon grandiflorous - never seen that before. Need that.
I would love to talk about the starts! Will work on it😇
Lol lazy tour... with edits and captions and plant names. That is not lazy!
Love how your garden keeps the wildlife in mind - never occurred to me that penstemon digitalis Husker's red could not be a food source for certain animals. That the pigmentation makes it inedible.
Aw, thanks! I edit compulsively😂 and yes, Doug Tallamy suggested that the anthocyanins in the red leaves may be a deterrent for some of our small friends. 🌱🌱🌱
I've lately been browsing the Plant Delights Nursery website for their collection of oddball native plants. I have a very long list of things I'd like to try in the garden!
So far, everything is doing well this year. With the exception of a Carex pensylvanica that I divided in the winter, everything's going gangbusters. I hope that C.pensylvanica will start putting on some size in the Fall, and maybe look good next year.
Oddly, my one Aster is blooming. I thought it was a Purple Dome, but maybe it's something else. It was blooming when I bought it last October, or so, and I was expecting it to be a late-season splash of color.... not an early spring bloomer!
Penn sedge takes a minute when it's small, hopefully it likes where it's at and will grow a ton! Last year we had some confused asters blooming early, I thought it was the drought. Maybe not! 🌱🌱🌱
@@lisalikesplants Thanks for the insight.
The Penn Sedge is under my oak tree, and all of the plants that I didn't divide are looking very nice in the little border I made. It's just that one pesky pot I tried to divide....
That aster..... what a mystery! My aunt and I bought 4 of them at the same time, same nursery, and all 4 of them were in bloom. Now, all 4 of them are blooming again just a few short months later! Her's are in the ground while mine's in a large pot on the porch. All healthy and growing strong, no signs of any issues at all, except that they seem to have mistaken Spring for Fall. My Rudbekia, who is supposed to blooming in the Summer, is healthy as you could ask for, and shows no signs of a bud, yet that Aster is a riot of purple blooms!
Weirdest thing I've ever seen, but I'm not complaining because it's nice to have some blooms even if the pollinators don't seem to like this cultivar.
I've not planted any milkweeds at all! Oh man. I did luck out and a neighbor saw me working on making flower beds and stopped and said that she had Black Eyed Susan's and Cone flowers amongst other things that she needed to divide and asked if I wanted any!
I wonder if your mysterious monarda is Eastern Bee Balm?
Could be a cultivar of it, for sure!
Of course I see this video when my lunch break ends 😢
.. … *cough cough* 😂
Beautiful garden. How many years have you been working on it? It's so full of life and well maintained!
Thank you! I would say these areas are 3 years old 🌱🌱🌱
I'm intrigued by the creeping thyme. In what conditions does it grow best? Beautiful gardens, btw.
Thank you so much. The creeping thyme likes medium to dry soil in full sun. 🌱🌱🌱
16:06 I'm pretty sure that mystery volunteer be Liatris Spicata. You're gonna get huge purple spikes in a month
It looks like it! I pulled it out and the roots were not liatris roots, it was some kind of volunteer aster. I do have spicata nearby and they are much smaller right now. But it really looks like it
@@lisalikesplants oh whoops I got it wrong. I’m in zone 7 and my liatris is about past knee level
What did you say was wrong with the Catalpa tree? Sorry just couldn't exactly hear the audio. LOVE the tour -- thank you!
They are a little weedy. So I didn't plant them and there's two volunteers there. Love the tree, just know that it pops up. Not too bad.
I just got my first prickly pear cactus at my central Illinois wild ones chapter plant sale, and I really want it to be happy. Do you have any in the ground, or do you think it does better in a pot?
It does even better in the ground. I have it in a pot to control it and keep unsuspecting squirrels and chipmunks out. I don't want them to get hurt! The plant is native to this area but maybe it's not native to my neighborhood so my squirrels might not know to stay away. I got a big pot. They are a hardy plant that grows a lot every year.
Thanks for the great tour. What zone are you in?
5b
Do the old coneflower stems help support the new growth? My purple coneflowers flopped last year.
They don't affect the new growth one way or the other. Your coneflowers might do better this year once they are established.
Give them the Chelsea chop before they get too tall.
Do you remember the name of the native dwarf baptisia? I'm looking for one, but don't have room for the larger varieties.
Baptisia australis var. minor
I’m surprised the rabbits don’t eat your thread leaf coreopsis. They mow mine right down.
I already had to Chelsea chop mine so the rabbits may be doing yours for you ! It’s a pretty tough plant . I bet if they left stubs that it grows back fine !
@@jetv1471 Yeah, it grows back, but they always eat the buds. I have so many rabbits.
Mine are behind a small garden wall and we have a lot of hawks
