I just started getting into natives 3 years ago. One bush I purchased was the spicebush (linerda benzoin). For the past 2 years, I found the text book curled leaf housing a tiny spicebush swallowtail caterpillar. Each year, just 1. I brought them inside and raised the cartoonishly comical little cats and watched the transformation into beautiful butterfly. Anxiously awaiting this year to hopefully find my 3rd.

What a beautiful place. Will definitely go check it out this summer when I travel to the eat cost. Thanks you so much so your informative and beautiful information in all your videos 🧑‍🌾👍🧚

It reminds of the arboretum at golden gate park in San Francisco. If you’re ever in northern California I think you will really enjoy their beautiful gardens. Love all your content in your videos

I love that garden!!! I miss traveling and seeing other places so much. Hopefully in 2022...

I enjoy Aquilegia canadensis very much. I grow it, and this year, I am growing it in combination with Lunaria and Muscari; they look good with each other. I grow Common Columbine too, and I plan to add more varieties and colors of Columbine to my collection.

Yes!!! They have a nice nursery... I bought paw paw trees.

@@BrieThePlantLady OMG how exciting! Will you make a video about your new paw paw trees?!

I missed the name of the one that you said was a great en masse groundcover that would freak out some gardeners? Am-something? 5-6 minutes in. Thanks!

@@BrieThePlantLady Is there anywhere to buy Impatien Capensis plants? I have tried growing from seed and have not had any luck.

[@willaerley7140]

Where can you buy natives? Home centers and nurseries usually carry only the most popular and common plants.

[@BrieThePlantLady]

Yeah you have seen out native plant nurseries, which there are a lot of now. Many sell online. Izel plants is a good one.
