What a pleasure to watch you walk through the garden. Seeing all of that golden alexander, mayapples, jack in the pulpit and other natives gives me hope.
Thank you!!! Ohhh May apples and violets together sound lovely!!!! You made me think interplanting violets with the JITP would help with aesthetics when the JITP die back….🧐
Enjoyed this video and the close up shots. I am in Michigan and see some new growth. Hoping to continue to add more natives and encouraged by your videos and information.
I’M loving these tours as it helps me see what’s possible. I’m just now trying to creating a woodland garden in Missouri zone 6b. Looks like patience is key! Great job
Thank you so much!!! Have fun and experiment!! Right plant, right place will save you frustration but breaking the rules is always fun too! I highly recommend ferns and sedges as a green mulch and to fill space quickly. 😊
I'm really enjoying your videos. I've been binge watching for a couple of days now. I hope you will do a video of the different carex species you grow at some point. The Latin names go right over my head so I'm not able to look them up on my own.
Golden Ragwort spreads pretty fast. The golden ragworts in the bird garden are in their second year. They have spread by seed like crazy. They spread faster in moist soil. I have a patch around an oak that has dry soil and they haven’t spread as fast. They will survive anywhere though, but prefer the damp shade. Don’t be afraid to plant them close. You can really pack in natives. No need to show off mulch 😂! I transplant the baby plants around the yard all the time to create more patches. Both Golden ragwort and white wood aster I can’t seem to grow from seed, it’s crazy because these two are my fastest self seeders! 🤷🏻♀️ if you have a dry shade area you may want to give the white wood aster a try vs golden ragwort just because it likes the dryer soil. Although deer will eat white wood aster but they bloom late so they recover. When you get a good patch going you’ll def see why it’s also called snow in summer. 😊

Morning Tricia - Thank you!!! Spring is one of my favorite times on the garden here!
Love the tour. I have some may apples coming up mixed in with my violets. Need to check on my jack in the pulpit.

Your garden looks beautiful
Thank you!!! The woodland will look completely different than it does now in mid May.
Gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much!!! Please let me know if you have any questions! Pack in those natives and use right plant / right place to save on frustration.

Thank you! I will definitely do a video on the sedges I use. Appreciate the idea!!! Keep them coming. 😊
Loved the tour! Did you start the golden ragworts via seeds and how long did it take to get to this stage? Looking to do the same in my yard..
