My brother n law was burning some brush he had collected up in his property. He knew there was some poison ivy on the wood but thought burning would just get rid of it too. Unfortunately he breathed in the smoke and ended up in intensive care for a week and nearly died. So yes very serious, don’t burn poison ivy!!

Yes very dangerous. My daughter got a severe facial rash by standing in front of a fire that probably had poison ivy in it and wound up on steroids both oral and topical for weeks. No joke. She was only 10 years old.
Good morning, Summer and Flockers! I just wanted to take a minute to say how much you and your videos (on both channels) have inspired me. I never really wanted to own a home, but as i started to change my dream of my future, the idea of having a garden has started to feel like an unscratched itch. You’re really making a difference. Keep up the good work Flockers ❤️

Fabulous! We think that owning something nowadays is a sure-fire way for someone to feel responsible for land and committed to a community. It's really not that easy to do as someone who is always renting and moving about. We all hope you realize your dream.
I found painted trillium on my land last summer. I'd never seen them or even heard of them before. They're absolutely breathtaking flowers and becoming very rare. I have marked that area so that we will avoid stomping on them, and I encourage anyone who can to try growing them. All trilliums are beautiful, truly.
Very informative and inspiring. My Northern Michigan neighbors have recently harvested the hardwoods from their woodland acreage. They are "developing" the property for residential building, and have given me access to harvest and transplant natives. I'm sad and overjoyed at the same time, but you have helped immensely in identification and growing conditions for my adopted babies!
Great information. One suggestion for the future: Subdivide your selections into dry shade and moist shade categories. I'm looking for shade natives that can handle our increasingly frequent droughts. That seems to eliminate a lot of woodland natives.
My favorite source for native garden plants in upstate New York is Amanda’s Native Garden. They will know exactly what will work for you and have plenty of deer proof native plants as well. I got quite a lot of natives from there and planted them in my garden last fall.

AG comes to our semi-annual Native Plant Sale on the waterfront in Geneva, NY in the spring & in the fall.
I could listen to you all day! Thank you for the inspiration.
I watched a video where you shared about the cellophane bee and huechera Americana and I’m now cold-stratifying seeds. Ty
Wonderful and informative video @Summer. Soon, many of those spring emeralds will be blooming here in Indianapolis. Can't wait 😊😊😊
Thank you for compiling this list, beautifully done. I'm definitely inspired to add at least one of these to my tiny garden

Besides having wonderful plants at a relatively reasonable price, White Oak Nursery also has a lot of information on their website about growing trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants from seed and how to establish native landscapes.
Grew up in the 70s and most of these are in my yard..I love native and species plants
Summer, your voice and storytelling is ASMR to me. I can't wait for the snow to melt and get gardening again.
Great list of natives. I’ve grown almost all of these when I lived in the Toronto area, at the northern edge of the Carolinian zone. Worth mentioning, I used to harvest ramps from my woods and I would replant the basal plates in nursery beds after trimming for culinary use, and new plants would grow from it, which I would then replant back out into new areas of the woods. Sustainability!
My front yard is nothing but shade, so this is exactly what I've been searching for! Thank you for mentioning Rare Roots, as I've been wondering how to find most of these plants. I've been guilty in the past of transplanting things from the woods into my shade garden. I accidentalky killed a beautiful rare white mertensia once with this bad practice..... that I no longer do! Its just so hard to find most of these plants.... sigh.
Your video is so informative! Thank you!
Great Video Summer, super complete , Thank you so much...this is Awsome, Cheers
Another great video, thanks.
Your videos are so amazing. Always crammed full of useful information. I will headed to my local nursery soon to add tons of natives to my garden. Thank you Summer and please keep them coming! Best wishes.

Tons of Natives from a local nursery ? WHERE DO YOU LIVE & WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT NURSERY ???
Great timing. Trying to help someone plan a shade garden. Love hearing you talk about this stuff ... and thanks for reminding me about crassulacean acid metabolism .... forgot all about it.
Just catching up on this channel - thank you for this excellent presentation on native shade plants and the benefits they bring to gardens.
Thank you so much. Very good information.
I live in the Finger Lakes area, about an hour from Ithaca. I have been having issues growing plants close to my house on one side where it is very shaded. Last fall I put in three different kinds of bleeding hearts (Red, Pink and White) fingers crossed that they will do well. I have hosta plants there too, even they are struggling, yet I have several hostas in partial sun/shade and they are thriving beautifully. Did you know that hosta are edible? I love cooking the baby shoots when they first start coming up in the spring, they taste a lot like asparagus!
Trilliums are wonderful. Aconitum and Erythronium are a couple of genera that I don't think you mentioned, but that spring to mind for me as wonderful North American plants.
Thank you for the shade lover introduction. Though I do love my deep shade area, it can limit what I can grow. But I am always discovering a new plant every season. Your video has now given me some names to go with the plants. Thank you
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for this!
So informative and very interesting!
Twin leaf grows well in our yard and is spreading. We used to be zone 4a but that changed to 4b. I love this plant. We have an oak canopy here.
Excellent segment. Assume it is always a challenge to come up with topics during the winter. This very helpful and informative. Good job
Thanks so much for this awesme video!
Thanks!
Awesome video..I love that this affects our food web
I found four or five suggestions for plants that would work nicely in my garden...Thanks for sharing.
May apple fruit is a key food for box turtles too!
So very enjoyable & inspiring to learn from you! As always.
Love your videos. I learn so much. Thank you
Thank you! I need inspiration for my shady backyard and when looking for recs, noticed people say "shade" when they actually mean part-sun.
I've made my list...
Great video! If you can, see if you can find one of our native Spiranthes - orchid like Ladies Tresses and Nodding Ladies Tresses. Another spring ephemeral I love is rue anemone - Thalictrum thalictroides, aka Anemonella thalictroides. I plant these on the edge so they get a little sun. That may be why they seem to hang around for me until the dog days ,end of July or early August. Another great ground cover is phlox stolonifera. Part shade. Very low growing matting native that will spread some what aggressively given a tiny bit more light. But easy to pull and you can't beat the small lavender blue flowers that carpet the area in May (zone 5b).
Hi, Summer. So good to see you’re doing well and looking forward to gardening soon. I really enjoy watching your beautiful videos and learn so much from all the information you share with us through your travels and research. I was wondering if you could do a video on tips on how to select places to consider homesteading or starting a more simple, sustainable life in safe, affordable areas preferably with long warm growing seasons. I currently live in the desert Southwest where water is scarce and am actively researching areas to consider to start a new life and projects such as beginning a permaculture food forest, learning and teaching earth-friendly home building alternatives like building with cob and earth ramming, and sharing information on how to live in balance with our sacred earth and interdependence among those around you. By the way, have you heard any good information on HomeBiogas who uses waste to convert it to cooking gas and fertilizer for plants? I understand this is a big ask. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your important work.

OMG…. So helpful. On a shaded sloped lot, with deer but trying to to revitalize the native ecosystem.
Yes poison ivy is no joke!
Yet another captivating and valuable video. I really appreciate all the detail--thank you. I have a flower bed that has transitioned from sun to shade and I plan to shift to a native shade garden (and hopefully a small pond). Unfortunately, that also includes trying to eradicate the incredibly invasive Houttuynia cordata!

No, I haven't. It has tormented me for over 20 years. I have dug it out and used herbicides, but the roots are so vigorous and any little piece just starts over again. @@ericjorgensen8028
Summer, I have a special request. This year I began vegetable gardening in my backyard. I love your delivery style and would appreciate some basic teaching on organic fertilizing, from seed to the garden bed. I am growing lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, onion, sugar snap peas, snow peas and sweet peppers. I think there are many who would love this information. Thanks for considering. I'm in Zone 9.
P. procumbens also grows well here. I planted 3 about 20 years ago. Each has spread to 18” clumps.
Wintergreen berries are edible. I've picked berries as late as May of the following year and they were still good to eat
Thanks, this was a very inspiring video. I planted some of these plants last year as an experiment. My property is on the side of the "mountains" that the Hudson cuts through in the Hudson Highlands so tends to be very rocky and dry but also has some wet spots were water pools in depressions in the cliffs. Somehow oaks, beech, tulip trees and red maples manage to grow under these circumstances. There are little pockets of soil here and there in the wooded parts of the property. I am eager to see how my experiments fared over the winter and whatever thrives I will grow more of. I would love it if you could do a follow-up on the other cultural requirements of the natives you are growing (wet, dry, how much shade and/or root competition) and how they are doing in your garden. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that trilliums are very tasty to deer -- mine are now under wire cloches. I didn't know what a treasure I had, but when I was a child in Wisconsin our birch woods was blanketed in trilliums every spring.
Good list - most are pertinent for my current neck of the woods (MA) - though would do just as well where I grew up in NEPA... (I was a Tiger while you were a Comet.) Incidentally, @30:40 H. acutiloba (often termed H. nobilis var. acuta) is the sharped-lobed, while var. obtusa is the round lobed.) Was named so by de Candolle either because the round lobes looked like a liver - or because he was well-aware that ancient peoples thought that a plant's shape indicated a medicinal function (thus, they treated it as a hepatic medicine because it looked like a liver.) I saw the round-lobed frequently in PA when I ran around the woods as a kid... Also, for New England, pachysandra should be avoided. Not native and can be aggressive. Otherwise, do appreciate channel.
Believe it or not I actually saw Indian pink at a box store last year.
The big issue I have with planting natives is that we also graze cattle on our land and I don’t want them getting a hold of something that is toxic to them. Do you have any suggestions on where I could find a list of safe native plants?
Great video! Just found your channel and enjoying the content. Trying to promote more native plants here in central Maryland.

Welcome aboard!
I really enjoyed the information. I only wish that you would keep the images of the plants on the screen longer. I found that if I looked away for a minute, I would miss the image (for reference) to only catch the verbal descriptions and was therefore a bit lost on what plant you were speaking about. Is there some way you could keep those images on screen, as an insert, while you are discussing the plants? Just a thought.
WONDERFUL, wonderful, wonderful video with tremendous information! Thank you so, so much! What are some reliable vendors/sources/nurseries where you can purchase barer oots and/or plugs???
Cornus Canadensis is quite edible, just bland. Good for toning down the strong flavor of certain fruits and rhubarb.
In our area, we have stink bugs, the brown ones. It's hard to know what to plant that doesn't attract those bugs. My favorite Redbud tree, I just read, attracts stink bugs. Never in all the years I have been planting trees have I had to worry about these bugs.Ten years we moved down south, came back up north last year, and there is this insect invaision. I am scared to plant sweet corn or sunflowers in our veg garden, now that I read stink bugs like those as well. I have to fight stink bugs all year long bc they get inside the old house we bought. Thankfully our indoor cat is good at spotting bugs so I can get them out. I also read there is a wasp that can help kill those stink bugs. Any information to help would be welcome. I love all your shows and appreciate your knowledge.
What is the zone you’re in? I’m in 4b in MN and it’s so nice seeing more info on the same plants we have here in our woods.

It seems like there is a whole variety of native plants available to you that aren't available in Colorado. There are Colorado native plants that I wish I could get but I can't.
Anyone have any good sources for Native Plugs? I need quite a bit of volume.

I was given several mayapples last year and planted them under a tree along the edge of our woodlands…well…something ate every one of them! I assumed a deer! Any suggestions on what might have devoured them?
Cornus canadensis was in an Alaskan garden and I got a piece I wanted to take to Georgia. We stopped in Canada and customs took it. How do I get these 35 plants here? Is there a place you recommend? I live near little Creek Nursery, which has native plants.
What was the name of the place where you get your hard to find native plants? Unfortunately only one was in my zone...10a.
I’m in Chicago zone 5, are the plants you mentioned, will they all grow in my area?
