Love the ideas!! A garden is so much better than grass. I got rid of all my backyard grass and slowly working to do the same in the front yard! have to find some of the prairie drop seed to plant! it’s gorgeous!❤
More fantastic ideas! Thank you!
I am enjoying your channel and trying to learn as I plan to redo the front of my own lawn soon. One question that I haven't heard addressed: what about weed control when you suggest large flower beds. If I did this in my yard, it'd look good for a few weeks and soon I'd be overrun trying to pull or hoe weeds and if I tire pf weeding I'll have a mess. I'm looking for PRACTICAL advice. Thanks.
Me: ooh I wonder if I’m part of the “almost everyone” making mistakes. Will report back! 😂
Enjoy hearing and seeing your design ideas. There are tons of good videos on native plants, including yours, but there seems to be less on how to bring them together in a visually pleasing way. Thanks!
Ahhhh…I must find an Eastern Wahoo. I know the perfect spot. Also, I always let one or two Bull Thistles grow in an unintrusive spot. I know it's a non-native invasive, but the pollinators love it so much. I just trim off the seed pods after they're done blooming.
Love the vid, especially that first island bed.
Last year I surrounded our gingko tree (planted for my parent's anniversary) with Black-eyed susans (some variety of fulgida, probably, that I got from a woman as payment for weeding her beds several years ago) and spread aquilegia seeds in the mulch under the Japanese maple. I can't replace the trees with native ones, but I can at least give them some native "skirts" lol
soon ill be emailing you pictures!
lovely as always

Do you ever use currant bushes?
I love how you're including the paths across the beds. Took me a long time to learn that and you don't see other people doing it. Thank you for all you do!
As usual, you've come out with a winner! Love this series. So fun, and it feels like we are friends just chilling in person, designing gardens. I'm itching for spring, too. Can't wait!
Great shout out of the elderberry. They are so easy to grow, beautiful, and great for our native fauna
The biggest mistake is not growing food.
Thanks! I enjoy your videos and have been learning so much!
Purple dome instead of sedum?
What software are you using?
Do you have a short list of go-to plants that can withstand dog urine? I live on a very busy corner lot with LOTS of dog walking traffic. I hesitate to plant anything too close to the sidewalk for fear it won't survive the pressure. Once one dog starts, the rest follow suit.
Would you mind sharing which software program you’re using?
I really love your ideas and I wish I had these plants even tho I live in Europe in Croatia. And especially things like phlox. I only seen them on YouTube videos. Here however many people shy away from flowery gardens because many have this idea that flowery gardens are "too much" or even frivolous.
New to your channel and immediately hooked– what a great way to visualize & map out a garden plan beyond the standard bird's eye 2D grid! Could you share which app/website/program you used to in the video to draw over that photo?
For the first house with the slope, does that tree bed need some kind of edging in order to stop the mulch from washing down the hill in a storm or will the plants hold it in? Very informative video!
Hi, I Love your Channel and the great advice you give. May I ask what program you use to draw with? Thank you.❤❤❤
Please don’t cover the tree root flair with lots of mulch
I did this with my two of my trees last month. I did have small mulch rings when I planted them two years ago but the grass has slowly spread and encroached on the tree root flare so I cod the sod out 3ft from the trunk and made a mulch ring/planting bed around it. Planted some perennials like creeping phlox, osteospermums dianthus, sweet alyssums, primrose, anemones and others.
