EPISODE CONTENT #gardengoals * Don't be rigid * Do have fun * Don't fall on the sword of perfectionism * Don't worry about every little weed * Do think about what your spaces to be * Do be thoughtful * Do make a plan, but don't be afraid to deviate from it Failures are the star-stuff dreams are made of You know how we are all just leftover particles from dead stars? The very beginning of human knowledge is screwing up, or at the very least, understanding how things work. Failure= Understanding Success We can also acknowledge beautiful things unfolding from devastating realties. Waxing philosophical now... That being said there may be mistakes you'd like to avoid altogether: Mistake #1: All planning and no action. Don't plan stuff out and then not do it. Don't do that to yourself, it's not nice. * Don't panic! We can help you think of ideas! https://bellevuenativeplants.org [https://bellevuenativeplants.org/] Bellevue Native Plant Society * You can take Monarch Gardens classes https://www.monarchgard.com/classes.html [https://www.monarchgard.com/classes.html] * Prairie Moon has some layouts to get you started: https://www.prairiemoon.com/PDF/2020-Prairie-Moon-Nursery.Garden-Kit-Layout-Suggestion_WEB.pdf [https://www.prairiemoon.com/PDF/2020-Prairie-Moon-Nursery.Garden-Kit-Layout-Suggestion_WEB.pdf] Mistake #2: Ignoring the house front. The front of your house should be the first place you look to make a statement about natural spaces and it's likely the one you frequent the most. Just remember: * Use cues to care https://www.humanegardener.com/wild-design-home-gardens/ [https://www.humanegardener.com/wild-design-home-gardens/] * Mix up bloom times. Think: all seasons * Keep your space maintained. Weed once a month: at minimum Mistake #3: Not prepping the space well before getting started.  How to site prep: https://prairielegacyinc.com/planning-your-prairie/ [https://prairielegacyinc.com/planning-your-prairie/] Think of garden shapes: https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/basic-design-principles-and-styles-garden-beds [https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/basic-design-principles-and-styles-garden-beds] Mistake #4: Forgetting about ground covers. Sedges, baby. Popular ground covers for sun: heath aster, wild strawberry, Missouri evening primrose, silky aster, purple poppy mallow, pussytoes, purple prairie clover and more. Popular ground covers for shade include wild ginger, violets, wild geranium, zig zag goldenrod, mayapple, shade asters, Virginia waterleaf, and others. Mistake #5: Not taking sun requirements into account or planting something that likes it wet in dry soil or vice versa. Look up plant stats, but experimental skepticism is ok. Mistake #6: Not thinking of adding in paths to weed and access the garden. Paths can be stepping stones, turf grass, mulch, crushed limestone. The options are there. Just make it easy for yourself to get around. Make paths two to three feet wide. Mistake #7 Planting a ton of tall stuff by a sidewalk or path, or letting something go to seed and grow there so your paths disappear. Need a recipe for some potting soil for all the stuff you have to pot up because you psychotically can't bear to waste it??? Yeah??? https://www.hortmag.com/smart-gardening/homemade-potting-mix-with-compost [https://www.hortmag.com/smart-gardening/homemade-potting-mix-with-compost] Mistake #8 Planting several aggressive plants, when it’s more practical to control one or two. Aggressive things to keep an eye on: * Root Spreaders: wild mint, silphiums, native sunflowers, prairie sage, western yarrow, obedient plant, native roses, elderberry, common milkweed * Prolific Seeders: hyssops, pitcher sage, tall boneset, verbena stricta, rudbeckias We are not saying "DO NOT USE" these plants. We are saying decide for yourself if you can handle the maintenance. Many of these are wonderful plants. You can always grow root spreaders in large containers. Mistake #9 Not planting most things in drifts.  Drift philosophy: https://www.monarchgard.com/thedeepmiddle/fundamentals-of-natural-garden-design [https://www.monarchgard.com/thedeepmiddle/fundamentals-of-natural-garden-design] Mistake #10 Trying to do too much all at the same time. Dream big but start small. Maintain what you finish. Impress your neighbors. Remember we want to win them over! Be patient Gardens take time to be at their best. Some plants need years to even get started. Baptisia, leadplant, and shrubby St. John's wort are all plants that need years to really get going. Let yourself practice and play. Have fun and live a little!

The Modern Gardener's Dilemma with Guest Christina Musgrave

THE MODERN GARDENER'S DILEMMA TURNING BIG GARDEN PLANS INTO SMALL ACTIONABLE PROJECTS Episode Introduction In today’s episode, The Modern Gardener's Dilemma, I chat with my friend and garden designer Christina Musgrave on how the average person can fight overwhelm and tackle their garden projects with a dose of reason. Host Stephanie Barelman Stephanie Barelman is the founder of the Bellevue Native Plant Society, a midwest motivational speaker surrounding the native plants dialogue, and host of the Plant Native Nebraska Podcast. Guest Christina Musgrave Christina Musgrave has spent most of her life as an artist specializing in watercolor and printmaking. During COVID, Christina felt a strong desire to begin her garden journey and fell in love. After discovering the myriad benefits of native gardening, she changed her focus to converting her suburban lawn into pollinator habitat. As much as she enjoys gardening for herself, Christina felt a deep desire to assist others with their gardens as well as educate the necessity of pollinators to the environment. She has since returned to school to become a certified landscape designer and has started her own business, Kingsfoil Gardens. Christina now uses her background in art and love of gardening to bring joy and appreciation for the native landscape. Thanks so much for joining us Christina! Episode Sponsors .

EPISODE CONTENT TRIGGER WARNING: We occasionally discuss plants with a more eastern or western range. But we make a point to only discuss midwestern U.S. plants. Always check BONAP or other range maps to determine the best estimates of historical nativity. Kingsfoil Gardens Visit Christina's website and learn more about her work and business at www.kingsfoilgardens.com [https://www.kingsfoilgardens.com] What Most Gardeners Would Do Differently Plan first, tackle projects in small steps, and remember creating excellence takes time. Cool Gardeners Monty Don, UK gardener: not US native-plant focused, but has solid gardening knowledge and techniques Piet Oudolf, dutch designer that does favor quite a few native plants: very artistic naturalistic landscapes, Kelly Norris, garden designer and author from Iowa: visually stunning native plant-forward landscapes How to Start Planning Your Landscape * Make a list of what kinds of spaces you want * Look at your existing landscape How A Designer Might Plan * BASICS: Get an aerial view of the house via GIS system, Google Earth; check sun tracker apps; make a base map with measurements of everything possible; check window perspectives (from the house to the landscape;) check street or sidewalk perspectives; and GET UTILITIES MARKED! * FLESHING IT OUT: consider hardscape, paths, seating areas, etc. first! After you have considered the locations of those in your design, a designer may start with trees and shrubs and then work down to perennials and even annuals to hold the space until bigger plants mature GET YOUR SOIL TESTED! https://midwestlabs.com/ [https://midwestlabs.com/] Traditional Garden Design Touchstones Consider: * Scale: Go out and measure, take out some grid paper and play around with stencils, maybe invest in some clear rulers * Balance: Taper plant sizes so that you don't have height discrepancies. There are always exceptions to every rule but it's good to put similar height plants together and back larger ones to the back of the border and place shorter plants up front * Repetition (good for aesthetic cohesion) * Visual Abundance: Mixing Different Plants (mixing different colors, textures, and bloom times) * Shapes- Curvilinear or Rectilinear, which ideally is matched to existing landscaping * Multi-Seasonal Interest (again, the different bloom times) * Habitat Value Native Annuals to Use as Fillers While Your Plants Mature Plains coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria) Lemon bee balm (Monarda citriodora) Rocky Mountain bee plant (Peritoma serrulata) Clasping coneflower (Dracopis amplexicaulis) Christina and Steph's Favorite Plants to Plant "En Masse" * Wild Strawberry * Switchgrass * Prairie Smoke * Penstemon sp. * Asters * Shrubby St. John's Wort Visualize garden spaces as rooms It helps! Trust us. Christina's Favorite Plants for Texture * Liatris * Eryngium * Yarrow Christina's Favorite Plant Pairings * Mt. Mint X Coreopsis * Pussytoes X Plains Oval Sedge * Smaller Liatris sp. X Sedges Garden Transitions Think gates, arbors, hedges, walls, doorways, negative space, etc. Negative Space: What's That A place for your eye to rest, negative space can be comprised of turfghass (could be native turf,) balancing smooth texture against rough texture, a color monoculture, hardscaping or fencing vs. plants.\ Christina's 7 Herbaceous Plants She Can't Live Without 1. Wild Strawberry 2. Prairie Smoke (Regional Native) 3. Bradbury's Bee Balm 4. Butterflyweed 5. Rattlesnake Master 6. Prairie Dropseed 7.

EPISODE CONTENT Dandelions: Public Enemy #1 Vs. Freedom Fighter? Our parents (I'm looking at you, boomers) and their parents bought in to the idea of pristine and high-maintenance landscapes and dandelions look like a rebellious boy on a motor-bike. What Dandelions and Native Plants Have in Common Both native and non-native plants can be judged for being unruly and not conforming to societal expectations for perfect, tidy landscapes. But in aspiring to have native-plant forward gardens, we try to rely less on ideal aesthetics and more on what is wholesome for wildlife but also, sustainable. Respect What's Native Where It's Native While Also Acknowledging Naturalized Plants Can Have Useful Qualities. What's native will change where you go. It varies across the U.S. and across the globe. There's a strong benefit to planting locally historical plants but that doesn't mean we need to demonize all non-native plants. One-size-fits all never really lives up to its name, does it? A Little Backstory on the Dandelion The Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, is native to Europe and Asia and is a true herb of antiquity. So for those of you who might not know, it’s not native.  Ancient Medical  Has been hailed for its many medicinal uses including problems with the bladder, liver, and stomach. Culinary Wonder Every part of the plant is edible, which is unique for most plants. We’re talking salads, cooked greens, edible flowers, teas, wine.  Indigenous Use The Iroquois tribe alone used it for pain relief, to treat dropsy, digestive and urinary problems, and lung inflammation, among other things. Many other tribes learned its usefulness quickly.  Do Bees Need Dandelions? No, while generalists may browse them year-round( long bloom time,) generalists use whatever sources are available. There are other more nutritious foods and there are foods that cater to all bees, not just the generalists.  Don’t Dandelions Bloom Before Everything Else?  Only if all you have is brome or Kentucky bluegrass.  Early-Blooming Natives for Shade * Bloodroot * Jacob’s Ladder * Spring Beauty * Common Violet Early-Blooming Natives for Sun * Prairie Smoke *regional native * Spiderwort * Pasque Flower * Golden Alexander * Field Pussytoes * Canada Anemone * Virginia Waterleaf * Penstemon *native and regionally native species * Wild Geranium Native Trees for Early Bee Nutrition * American Bladdernut * Ohio Buckeye * Downy Serviceberry * Eastern Redbud * Chokecherry Powerhouse Natives for Bees Year-Round * Native Sunflowers * Asters * Goldenrods * Milkweeds * Mountain Mints * Yarrow (our native species) * Coneflowers (Echinacea and Ratibida species) * Verbena Stricta Nutritious Trees and Shrubs * Dogwood * Sumac * Elderberry * Native Viburnums * Buttonbush Know Your Stuff If you care about bees, there is a lot of really great literature out there right now by Heather Holm, the Xerces Society, Pollinator Partnership, and other experts and organizations.  Heather Holm Bees: An Identification and Native Forage Guide Heather's Free Resources: https://www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com/resources.html [https://www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com/resources.html] Two handouts through The Xerces Society: "Bumble Bee Conservation" https://www.xerces.org/publications/brochures/bumble-bee-conservation [https://www.xerces.org/publications/brochures/bumble-bee-conservation]  "Native Plants for Pollinators and Beneficial Insects: Northern Plains"  https://www.xerces.org/sites/default/files/publications/22-027_01_NPPBI—NorthernPlains_web.pdf [https://www.xerces.org/sites/default/files/publications/22-027_01_NPPBI%E2%80%94NorthernPlains_web.pdf]  The Xerces Society books: * Attracting Native Pollinators * 100 Plants to Feed the Bees Pollinator Partnership has a Prairie Parkland Planting Guide: https://pollinator.org/PDFs/Guides/PrairieParklandrx12FINAL.pdf [https://pollinator.org/PDFs/Guides/PrairieParklandrx12FINAL.pdf] If you don't keep it * Compost it * Make wine out of it * Make salad out of it * Make other food with it Cool links: https://foragerchef.com/category/wild-green-recipes/dandelions/ [https://foragerchef.com/category/wild-green-recipes/dandelions/] https://foragerchef.com/guide-to-dandelions-harvesting-and-cooking/ [https://foragerchef.com/guide-to-dandelions-harvesting-and-cooking/] https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-make-dandelion-wine-1327932 [https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-make-dandelion-wine-1327932] Our source for historical indigenous use: Daniel Moerman's Native American Ethnobotany ADDITIONAL CONTENT RELATED TO THIS EPISODE: What makes a plant native? http://bonap.net/fieldmaps [http://bonap.net/fieldmaps]Biota of North America North American Plant Atlas database-select Nebraska https://bellevuenativeplants.org [https://bellevuenativeplants.org/] Bellevue Native Plant Society native (wild type) vs. nativar/native cultivar (cultivated by humans for desirable characteristics) On the Web BONAP aforementioned BNPS aforementioned http://www.facebook.com/groups/bellevuenativeplantsociety [http://www.facebook.com/groups/bellevuenativeplantsociety]- BNPS on Facebook Books & Authors Rick Darke- The Living Landscape Douglas Tallamy- Professor and Chair of the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Entomology at the University of Delaware, author of The Living Landscape, Nature's Best Hope, naturalist, and curator of "Homegrown National Park".
