Love the video, straight to the point, and lots of information. Love that the plants are the main focal of attention and not the speaker. Learn a lot from a video like this.

I'm in Quebec. This is super useful for me too! Am working on getting rid of my turf bit by bit and replacing with natives. I can't wait to banish my mower to the shed forever! 😛

@@NativePlantChannel I'm a native here in Western Maine. Would you like to donate native plants to my garden?? I have no $$ but plenty of good intentions.

Andy is very knowledgeable and well spoken, and we love the CMBG. I was very glad to see some of my favorite natives highlighted here and also disappointed that some others weren’t mentioned like hobble bush, ostrich fern, sweet gale, pagoda dogwood and witch hazel, lamb kill and rhodora, both red and black elderberry, blue flag iris, and June berry. I have had great success growing these in Downeast Maine, and they are truly under appreciated. I could add several more....perhaps Andy could come back and do a part 2.

Yes, Andy is extremely knowledgable, and there are so many great plants, never enough time to cover them all.

Thank you so much. We were at your garden several years before covid and we were blown away!! I have been to the biggies but I couldn’t believe what you all have done. Especially the children’s garden. I want to go back to see your progress. I am in awe!!

Hi Lourdes. I’m watching from Ontario Canada. We share the same native plants here. I wasn’t aware of the suckering of paw paw. What an amazing place. Please make more videos of this place. Thank you ❤

Great information here. I’ve been looking forward to transforming my property into one full of plants that attract bees, birds, butterflies and other beneficial creatures. It’s nice to hear AND see what things I can possibly grow successfully on my property in central Maine.

My favorite native grasses are panicums (switchgrass). Love the way the seed heads capture the sunlight. Twinkling in sun. Absolutely amazing grass. Panicum. Any variety although 'heavy metal' is probably my favorite. 'Totem pole' is a close second.

Yes, panicums are excellent as well.

I have a lot of these plants, but this year, this drought has been terrible. My mountain mint hasnt bloomed yet, I hope it does. It has buds, but it is already August 22nd. Monarda fistulosa also only bloomed for a short time. Asclepias incarnata just a few short days of blossoms too. I'm hoping for next year. This drought has been bad and I hope we see some discussion of how plants protect themselves during droughts. That would be intersting to me. Thanks for the info.

Natives to New England? I didn’t think so.
@jcl53452 жыл бұрын
Actually, most of what are called native to any given area, New England especially are also native down the Eastern seaboard, because as the continental ice sheets pulled away to the north, they "pulled' plants as well.

Please note that a plant that is 'native' across a large area may be genetically different in different climate zones within the area. It is better to try to plant 'local' natives than to import seeds and plants from a different ecosystem far away (Prairie Moon is in Minnesota)
