My biggest pet peeve is native enthusiasts whose front yards look like a Hot Mess. We'll never get the public to switch to natives if we plant a Hot Mess instead of designing a more formal look in our front yards.
I did did up my lily of the valley and only a couple came up the next year.
Your garden will look so nice for your event on the 13th.
I thoroughly enjoyed this little tour! I am about 4 years into my native plant journey and am learning from you! Today I wrote down "Chrysogonum virginianum" to look up more about!! Thank you! Your habitat is beautiful!!!
I have bush honeysuckle, which I love because the fall color is amazing. It does spread by sucker and will make a thicket if you let it.

Are the violets host plants for any caterpillars? I’ve been letting mine stay this year in my garden beds too!
your woodland stonecrop is looking so good!! :O
Interestingly, there is a native lily of the valley. The non native ones are indeed a beast to eradicate. Still working on it. Violet!❤
Loved this tour! I love your passion for native plants. I have been steadily adding more natives to my yard/garden and trying to take out invasives along the way. I have a huge patch of green and gold and I'm thinking I'm going to start spreading it around a little more this year. Please keep making videos. I love watching!
Oh, no. I literally planted Japanese spurge two days ago! In front of my veggie garden. Should I move them to the woodland garden?
You probably have seen his videos, but Roy Diblik has some really great content on formal Native Gardens. I like the information on sedges. Lol at the hot mess comment.
Your videos are inspirational. I'd like to see a video about the caterpillars that use your plants, once they arrive this year, too!
So many great ideas and inspiration.
I adore woodland phlox. I have three small patches but it’s on my “must expand” list this year. Anything that blooms blue/purple makes me swoon 💜
Our friend at Native Roots & Shoots mentioned in the comments below the native Lily of the Valley which is Convallaria pseudomajalis. This would be a great alternative to the invasive that I have so many problems with! Thank you Native Roots & Shoots!
So beautiful. The garden is lovely as well. 😉
The woodland phlox is beautiful!
Looks beautiful! Where did you get the Appalachian Springs Dogwood? I, too, had patches of my green & gold die last year. It seemed like the roots turned to mush, which made me suspect root rot or slugs. Let me know if you figured out what caused it.
I love the way the yellows of Green and Gold and Golden Ragwort play off each other, and it makes it look cohesive. I love the texture of the sedges, too! I have ordered G.R. for my garden!!! Thanks for sharing from your real-life garden!
