- Let's take a short hike through Leonard Springs Nature Park and look at the loads of wild plants and the caves in the park. Leonard Springs Nature Park is just south of Bloomington and is a unique geological feature in southern Indiana. This park boasts waterfalls, caves, and a lot of native wild flowers, as well as a marshland that used to be a reservoir for the town of Bloomington. Along the hike we'll see plants like Solomon's Seal, Wild Ginger, Wild Comfrey, Dogbane, Ox Eye Daisy, Cattails, Blue Flag Iris, and more! We'll discuss things like taking care of Native ecosystems and how foragers can play a big role in that endeavor. We'll discuss some of the plants along the way and how the landscape was used by people in years past.

P.S. Your walk and talks still give us plant identification. I like this format.
I try to keep the information flowing! I'm glad you enjoy this format because they're so much fun to make!
I can tell! it makes the video even better when fun and passion come together. :)@@TrilliumWildEdibles
Love this tour ! Please continue
I want to compliment you on your voice. Your voice is expressive and easy to listen to.
Great video! I could watch this format for hours. Thanks
Wow. Nice place. Thanks for the tour and information. I love the sound of waterfalls 💙
You're very welcome! I too love the sound of waterfalls. I use them mixed with a few other sounds in the white noise app on my phone to help relax and sleep sometimes.
That looks like a really beautiful place and nice weather. We just got some snow here! Thanks for taking us along!
You're very welcome! It's a great place and it's nice to share it with you!
Bird poop is definitely a good luck charm, especially if a black cat runs in front of you at the same time 😁
😆 if I saw a black cat I'd have to try to pet it because I'm a huge cat lover, animal lover in general but especially cats.
Holy Cow, Josh! I knew that honeysuckle grew like mad, but never thought about it messing with the natural eco system. It is everywhere on my land, yikes! Wonderful video as always!
Yeah, Siberian Honeysuckle is incredibly invasive and is a good tick habitat too. So not only does it kill off native plants but it can be harmful to us due to ticks and the diseases they have.
That explains last year and all the ticks. Wonder if goats like honeysuckle...I'd like an excuse to get a goat!@@TrilliumWildEdibles
@bushpushersdaughter I'm sure they'll eat it but keep in mind if they eat the berries they'll be spreading the seeds too. One way to get rid of the established Bushes is to cut them at the base of the ground and to paint glyphosate on the cut portion. While I'm not a huge fan of herbicides, they can be useful in removing invasives and helping our native plants to thrive. For younger Bushes that are just sprouting, they can be pulled by hand usually. Once the bush puts out berries, you could pull the berries off and burn them. It's incredibly difficult to get rid of completely but over years it can definitely work.
Well thank you for this information. You're right of course (about pooping goats) because the birds have been planting them here for a long time. My property is hazardous in a way, but I can sure get to sawing and pulling up around the house. Glyphosate is my enemy, though so I might get creative with some salt or something.@@TrilliumWildEdibles
Bush honeysuckle, Bradford pair, Kudzu, Autumn Olive, Winter Creeper, Bamboo. They’re hear to stay I’m afraid.
I can hear the waterfall !
Awesome!
I loved this! Thank-you for sharing
You're very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thx Josh!
Great video! I enjoyed the tour!
I love those ruins in plain site!
Absolutely gorgeous work man
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Josh, if you want to make a trip to west tennessee, you can hang out with us. We have 155 acres wuth pasture, creek bottom, and woods. You can make a video of different stuff at a different place.
Erg mooi Natuurpark Daar.
It is very beautiful indeed!
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Ja 1 Super Plek gevonden Ja en gelijk 1-nieuwe mooie Video kunnen Maken in de Natuur.
I used to live in paoli . I hunted ginsing , yellow root and blood root. Then I moved to Medora and began hunting wild hog. Was named indianashogman.
Curly dock seeds can be ground like flour.
Absolutely! I actually have a video showing that and making a pancake out of it too! Good to see you again in the comments!
Awesome. That boot cleaner is something that I have never seen. While very handy, it's a bit ominous because it means you'll probably be needing it! Lol! 😅
Yeah I can imagine at times the place gets a little muddy. However I think they also have it to try to keep invasive plants down as the seeds will often cling to shoe/boot soles and this way they'll fall off right in that small area making them easier to remove.
Nice walk, thanks.
Save some $$ and go with mint mobile
Hello friend. I have these plants growing in the garden but I don't know what they are. At first glance I thought of tomato leaves but they are not. And then I thought of lambs quarters but no powdery white color in the center branch of the leaves so they are not that too I guess. The plant is short about 1-1.5 ft high. They start to flower white. The fruits started green round about the size of 1.5 whole dried black pepper corns. Then the fruits become red then black. Some are in threes and fours. Wonder if could guess the name and I will look it up to figure out myself. Thank you God bless you Maranatha
Hi Josh! What native plants would you put in a spot that's wet in spring, but dries up in summer? It's shaded by maple and oak trees with a lot of clay soil. Poison ivy and jewel weed are the only plants nearby. Trying to recover a partially wood backyard.
I like this video, but if anybody hears me describe something as "cool" (unless I'm describing its temperature) please dope slap me!
Lol, I'm a 90s kid so the lingo has stuck!
This is a good distraction from my political mindset 🌺
That's always a good thing! Politics are important but can be very emotionally draining and divisive. It's always nice to take a step back and enjoy the little things in life!
I came across this theory in my mind about knowledge of divers things like learning species of plants.. hear me out... so I get upset when people minimize and reduce my existence to what THEY expect me to be... because their standards are not much...(those to who this applies such as mean spirited people). It is hard for them to understand at a fundamental level.. I am me... you are you... I am not you... and you are not me.... and my epiph was this... if you spend time learning a bunch of species of plants... then you carry that essence of "there are many MANY species of things that are different and unique and they are not all the same.." and to me that is almost like antibodies against people "overgeneralizing what you are and what you are going through.." because you have spent more than a little time understanding there are similar plants to each other... there is also different plants... but the main thing... they are all not the same... to me they are like people... they are all not the same... different name... different past... different likes and dislikes.... different shoes they walk in... different fingerprint.... AND I LOVE THAT... how boring would it be if everyone was the same.... it would be bland and expect-able...nothing that surprises you. To me that is how some people want everyone to be... indoctrinated and bland like they have somehow been trapped into thinking the norm should be... so they project and make it our problem that know no indoctrination or have been freed from oppression and their demons...
I strongly agree with you! I was always pretty open minded but learning plants changed my mindset for the better. I not only became more open minded but also a lot more empathetic. Plants can benefit humans in so many ways, it's one of the reasons I love teaching this subject.
