Replant Darien! Native Trees & Shrubs
Over the last couple of years, Darien experienced the removal of many valued old-growth native trees and shrubs. We know that this has been heartbreaking for many in our community, including us. And it wasn’t just our loss, it was a huge loss to our wildlife friends. But we’re here to help remedy this!
We’re excited to offer six gorgeous, wildlife-beneficial shrub and tree varieties in three-gallon pots.

    Thank you so much for this video. I rescued 2 big beautiful Peace Lilly's from Lowe's end of season sale . They as always either let them dry out or they drown the poor plants. So I got 2 and put them in the self watering pots with the rope that sucks up the water for them and I see the pot is to big .

    We planted Blue Fortune Agastache this past spring in a raised garden bed. Zone 5 Albany, NY area. What should we to winterize them? The bees are still latching onto them. 50's/60's days and low 40's at night and very rainy and wet lately. Do they get cut back? We have other perennials in the same garden bed.

      You can trim them way back in late winter or early spring. Not all the way to the ground, but close.

    • @janese444
      @janese444 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Except I trim the vine once it grows over the rim of the pot, then when the off shoot grows over the pot, I cut it back even further. Then I cut all of the biggest leaves out so that smaller leaves grow more and the plant looks even more full because there’s nothing but a bunch of tiny leaves

    I was given one just a couple of weeks ago and i love it, I'm desperately trying to keep it alive. It's in a sunny dpot on a balcony and we're watering most days, but many of the leaven have dried and some of the white flowers have gone a bit brown. Should we be watering more / only at the base / over the flower heads? Id love your advice, thanks!

    Great piece! Sean, on our first year plants (Asclepias Incarnata / Swamp Milkweed), last summer in S. Wis. on an urban lot, we had a heavy infestation of "vampire" aphids at the top of the plants that were guarded 24/7 by one or two dark carpenter ants for days, maybe even weeks. What’s that all about?!!? Haven’t seen much of the orange aphids this year as of 8-9-2024, but it’s been a truly unusual summer in terms of overcast skies, odd, colder temperatures etc. Love what you do, THANKS! Scribed!

    To add to the invasive grasses discussion here, I want to mention that as a basket weaver, all of these grasses are a gold mine--I cut them back every year, dry them, and make coiled baskets with them (after rehydrating and mellowing) all year around here in Connecticut. I also keep garden sheers in my car so I can harvest anything I see on the edges of parking lots and other areas where they're clearly not cultivated by anyone!
