Growing a Greener World Episode 910: Sustainable Landscape Design
In a spectacular setting on Washington State’s Whidbey Island we explore basic principles for working with nature to create a sustainable landscape design.
What a beautiful garden! I’ve recently discovered Piet Oudolf‘s natural looking landscape design, and here, Stacy’s garden gives the same type of natural flow. I love the incorporation of native grasses. This video is now saved to watch again, and again.
EXCELLENT Episode! Thanks for doing what you do on YouTube! I have an absolute PASSION for Landscaping/Design and have to say that your Show and business model provides a wealth of very useful knowledge and information to many of us! This particular Episode soars high on my list of favorite Shows! Stacie does BEAUTIFUL Work! Thanks again! Have A Super Week!…..Gus
Great looking landscape, as a retired professional gardener, large landscapes on relatively undisturbed site are fun. I have found that the more common small lots where developers have striped off the soil are much more challenging. Many side yards can only be five feet wide. I have tried to work with my home owner and the neighbors to create a joint landscapes where both ownerships flow together creating a feeling of a larger space.
Gorgeous. Inspiring. BUT I see lots and lots of edging! Between beds and lawn, beside the roads. It certainly gives everything a polished look, but that certainly jacks up maintenance costs.
Yes, truly beautiful….and I suspect small predators are happy here, too- but we have eradicated medium to large, such as mountain lion or even bobcat, certainly bear….Also, in the entomology show, Joe, you show how native plants are native to native insects, and how crucial that link is for us urban gardeners to maintain. So what would be a good native substitute for .pachysandra? Being a native Californian, I would never want to eradicate our grapes, pistachios, cherries, etc. – but how can we keep our native bugs happy?
It feels weird for someone in the PNW to say they have a Mediterranean/Australian-like climate 🙄 That is almost by definition extremely hot/dry for most of the year. The 3 months of sunny weather in Seattle doesn't overrule the fact the other 9 months are cold and rainy.

what was the main point of the episode
Love your videos so much! I do have a small criticism, your intro is so long for YouTube format. Consider making it half that long.
Good video but she's clearly not a western wa native.. doesn't rain during the summers 😂 nearly killed me 😂
How are the Japanese maples 100% natural?

Nice job! I do the same stuff over here in Ohio and Michigan. I always look for a new place to convert turf into wildflowers. It's always majical
Really awesome video. Great landscaping
Watching this and love it love it love it❤️. My own garden is covered in snow… I can only dream right now, but dreams can turn into plans^^
