Native Landscape Design and Implementation by Wes Landon

Starting a channel focused on Native Landscaping in Northeastern US. This video is FULL of super useful content. Thank you for posting!!!

Absolutely wonderful stuff mate. I'm in the process of building a business here in southern England based on precisely this approach. I had the idea and then subsequently discovered others are already at it. I haven't had terminology for what you call block planting and matrix planting, but I shall use these terms here on in. A blend between block and matrix is what I'm going for with my first project. Same principles, just different species of course. We've lost 97% of our native perennial wildflower meadows over here. Reforesting is well known of, but other habitat loss is less known in the public consciousness.

Thank u for this video . I was looking for CA native plants when this video popped up. Had to convince my partner (who loves a nice green lawn) to do native plant landscaping. I’m so glad to see other regions of the US are also putting efforts into restoring nature in their communities

Thank you for this beautiful presentation!

Thank you for sharing this presentation. Very well done, extremely informative, easy to follow and understand. I wish the two of you much success with your business venture. MRM

Excellent presentation! ✨

Thank you very much for all the information, I am adding for native shrubs and perennials to our yard. It has been rewarding to see some of them do well.

Excellent video. Great guidance for a large project we’re getting ready to undertake. My only wish is that you would’ve given an example or two of the different plant types as you listed them off: a feature plant vs a scatter plant, etc. This would’ve helped me better understand how you are using the terms and how I can better visualize the native garden. But that’s a picky critique of a very helpful video. Thanks!

Best video on praerie garden planning - thanks

Great video. Lots of material presented very clearly and concisely.

good talk, this may be me just being stuck on this, but I really want to see a presentation on native plants that exclusively focuses on plants that are truly native to the area being covered. Our definitions of native landscapes are too broad and don't do enough to honor truly native local plant communities and rarely ever consider how the plant communities and landscapes we design fit into the larger local ecosystem. For example, this talk is for Ottawa so Echinacea, Rattlesnake Master, R. triloba, etc shouldn't be included. The diverse flora of the Ottawa Valley should have been highlighted, with mentions of histroical sand prairie and oak/pine savanna, the blending of southern and boreal species, list of common native species that people can use without impacting their environment, etc.

thank you! very informative

Thank you! I'm sharing this with my "Friends of the Park" group. We're looking to turn part of our neighborhood park into a meadow area.

Great presentation!

Wow very informative and how important natives are wow!!

Thank you. I subscribed.🌻🐝🍄🐞🌻

Great video!

Loved it

fantastic, thank you

Very excited to learn from experts who are inspired by works of Piet Oadalf! Am still searching for experts who plant this way and like to use as many different plant families and maybe lesser known species in the north Texas bioregions, but these principles and inspirational pictures are fantastic! -kat (the wife)
