- Mostly Native Garden Tour April 30th || PLANT NAMES
I live in East Tennessee in the ridge and valley ecoregion. As to whether the plants are native to you, please look up the plant's botanical name and the word BONAP into google to see if it's native to your area. :)
In this episode, I wanted to share a late April garden tour, this time with as many plant names as I can. Of course, I don't name all the plants in my garden, but it will give you an idea of a lot of what I have. It seems I need to do another video some time where I go into greater detail about Habitat Hedge, which is the Southern most garden bed inside my front fence. I have many plants in this bed, but I only named some of them in the video.
I still think this video might be nice for those who want to know exactly what plants I have added to my garden over the years.
Thanks for watching!

I love your thought of editing the garden! That’s exactly how I think about it. I get seeds in the dirt and then edit as I go based on what’s coming up and I want.
I'm glad it resonates! I also say that because I often allow native plants to volunteer, too, that I didn't plant, so I just like to edit around those and remove what I don't want. Love the philosophy and it's fun to see what happens! :)
Love the butterfly in the beginning of the video, great shots!
Thank you so much!☺️
Good tour! An oak tree will definitely need more than 3’ spacing from another tree. Blanket flower is the showy thing in my garden right now. My little Carolina all-spice shrub is surprisingly full of blooms too.
Yes, that's what I'm thinking! These oaks next door are huge (mature oaks) and so if I want to think long term, I need to keep that in mind. I was also kind of wondering if the oak could replace the cherry when it dies. But I do not know how long the cherry will live. I sometimes try to think too long term and it becomes silly of me. LOL. For instance, I know that my redbuds will only live about 30 years, according to research online, so I am thinking of what I should do about that, too! I think that's part of what I like about gardening, though. It's like a puzzle we can always work on and tweak. It's never fully finished. :) Thank you for your insight! I may just keep my backyard oaks and remove the side garden ones and the ones near the cherry trunk for now. :)
Wait till you see the Thimbleweed, Anenome virginiana’s seedhead. Simply stunning. ❤
I think it started blooming, so I am excited for that!! :)
I think 'magic carpet' is Spirea japonica? it's used a lot here too in landscaping, I always see a bunch of bumblebees on it at least. On the oak by your cherry maybe you can transplant it in the fall to a different spot? Or keep whichever seedling survives the best, or transplant and give them away maybe.
Thank you, Hayley! Yes, you're right. It's gotta be Spirea japonica. I planted it myself, but it was so long ago that I don't remember buying it. LOL XD I just like it's tidy form and colors...I'll keep it for now and probably replace it years down the line when I can.
Thank you so much, my dear friend for another great video. Thanks for sharing. I really loved it. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie.
Awww that's so sweet. Thank you so much for watching! :)
Hi! So happy you’re sharing your journey! Love the primroses! The variety is amazing! You have your own botanical garden :) and your knowledge is very extensive. I’ve always planted mainly for wildlife and recently have added more natives and really enjoy the results. Your elderberry is gorgeous!! Sassafras! I’ve been on the hunt for some too :)
The only suggestion I would share is not spraying with glyphosate… if you can hand pull your weeds I believe it would be better for the wildlife that are visiting your beautiful space and better for your health too :) just my two cents!
Really love watching your videos and have subscribed!
Thank you!
I do not remember what I said about the glyphosate, but I do not spray it. I brush it onto stumps / wipe it on the invasive plants that are larger or hard to pull out by hand. All the others I can pull, I do / will and if I can use a shovel, I do. The glyphosate is the last resort. I just saw an article today though that was fascinating! A man covers the invasive stump after cutting it, with black plastic instead of brushing on glyphosate. Never knew that could work, but maybe if I ever need to, I can try that method, too. :)
My bad! I’m sorry! I’ve never used it so didn’t think of another method! I apologize!
Thats interesting about the black plastic method. I’m dealing with a patch of poison ivy that keeps spreading I poured heavy duty vinegar on it and it did nothing
So I’ve been trying to dig it out a bit at a time and putting the dug out bits in a separate area and covering it with cardboard hoping that it will kill it.
Thanks again for what you’re doing here! Very helpful and I enjoy listening to you!!
Happy gardening!
@@awrensgarden3754 Thank you for watching and for spending time to leave your kind comments!
21:17 Our native western fence lizards here in California love hanging out on warm rocks, too. Love the the butterflies too, of course!
Oh I love lizards!! I get skinks in my garden, a type of lizard. Love em. Thanks for the lovely comment!
Big garden with pretty flowers
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Your current Spiraea isn't invasive but it is a Japonica species.. If you are looking for a native, Spiraea Alba (White Meadowsweet) is the North American native. Incase you happen to want to add more variety to your wonderful garden.
Thank you so much! I was doing some googling today, and I think you're exactly right. Japonica it is! Meadowsweet sounds lovely. Looks like long term I'll want to replace the japonica but for now I will keep it until I find something that is similar...if I can. I think what I like about it is it stays short and I barely ever trim it. And it's foliage is almost always pretty and the flowers are pink...hmmm I need to think for a while what natives would fit that...I might need to be less picky with what I replace it with. I wonder if a small native blueberry shrub might work here...Anyhow I'll probably wait to replace it when I run out of room in the rest of the garden, ha! XD
where do you live? state for native plants?
East Tennessee :) Ridge and Valley ecoregion.
Is that mean if I live in PA we still have the same native plants?
@@poedah3875 You'll need to get the botanical name of the plant, and I've provided some of those, so hopefully I provided the ones that you need, and take those names and punch them into google with the word BONAP. This will give you a link to the bonap site and it will show maps of the united states. Look for the map that corresponds with the botanical name.
Then look at colors. Greens mean native.
Example: bonap.net/Napa/TaxonMaps/Genus/County/Echinacea
then clicking the purpurea one: bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Echinacea%20purpurea.png
If you get bright green, it's more local to you. If not, it's less native to your area...hope that helps.
@@awildapproach thanks a lot. Yes this is definitely helpful. I only discovered your channel 3 days ago and love what you’re trying to achieve on here. We need more of this kinda channel where it forces on native and wild looking garden. There’s so much of manicure and TH-camr that forced on non-native plants on here. I really appreciate love that you’re trying your part to educate and help people to grow more native plants. I don’t believe that you have to grow only native, but I believe that you can work with native to make your garden look beautiful. Which’s something that I am trying to do in my garden and hopefully inspire other people to do the same. Thank you!
@@poedah3875 oh I’m so glad you’re doing the same in your garden! It’s truly rewarding work.☺️
