Paola thank you so much for this video I so needed to hear this message. I am long past child rearing. However in this season of my life I am caregiving for my mother. This is a task that is exhausting as well. Thanks again for the blessing of this message

[@BotanicAlley]

Their book selection is absolutely stunning to look at!

[@amyhoff1501]

So many varieties of plants at Briggs ,wish I lived closer , I’m in Western Massachusetts, thanks Steph for taking us along . I do have Iron weed in my garden , got some from a friend years ago , it’s an ok plant . Also have onyx and pearls Penstemon and love 💕 it

[@emmalavenham]

I have had pretty good luck at Wancyzk Nursery in Hadley, particularly conifers and shade trees. What is particularly good about this place is that since they also sell wholesale so this is a great place to get HUGE trees

[@marylynnhaynes7558]

I’ve found most plants susceptible to powdery mildew get it no matter how much airflow they get. Just my opinion. I still grow phlox etc because I love them. Love your videos Stef.

[@nancyhenry4465]

Thank you Steph! We all aprreciate these plant scoutingand info sharing videos. I will be in the Attleboro area soon so I am looking forward to visiting Briggs.

Gosh darn Steph..wish I knew you were going to Briggs I would have gone from Bridgewater and found you!! I have a BLUE Heron tin ornament in my yard peeking out from an ornamental grass and I love it. Good luck on your almost 80K subscribers.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Alice! Oh that would have been so fun. I love when I run into viewers at the garden centers. I've met quite a few people, and its always fun to chat. I'll be back in the Spring! Oh that herron near a grass must look great! Thank you so much 💚

[@lanabisson2675]

a dark purple Iron Weed grows wild here in western Ky. It has medicinal uses. and is about as tall as joe pyeweed. the dark purple stands out going down the roads.

[@warp9p659]

I have the tall ironweed. It gets over 7 ft tall. It sets lots of viable seeds, which the bird love, but it will spread around.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

I wish I have more space in my garden. those fall plants are gorgeous!

[@colleensmith3374]

Such a great garden center! WoW, wish we had one like this in Colo. Thx

[@emmalavenham]

We love our Rodgersia bronze peacock but note siting is tricky and in our experience it needs to be well established before the rains hit hard.. Vernonia Iron Butterfly is a good choice for late bee forage but rabbits love it so it needs to be protected when it first emerges and go with leaner soil to retain structure for winter (not really an option for us - so will be Chelsea chopping in future)

[@msmaddox2918]

I love the plants you picked to add to your garden, Steph! 😊

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Mary! Thank you so much. I'm excited to try them out 💚

[@KathyDavenport-i3u]

Beautiful garden center! Air plants do take water, I water mine every other week. Just let them sit in water to take up what they need for about 30 minutes. Wish you would have given prices like on the metal crane. So pretty!

[@HookedandRooted]

How fun that they take water! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CynthiaKosciak]

We were also at Briggs this past weekend. Such a great place to visit! So many well taken care of plants and well curated garden accessories. And I recommend the pastries at the cafe! I have had the same Phlox David plants for at least fifteen years. Love them! They are in a sunny, yet crowded spot, and not a spot of mildew right now, even though we’ve had quite a bit of humidity in central Massachusetts. I think I can recall occasional mildew in the past, but only rarely. They are quite tall - about four feet and don’t flop - and huge fragrant blooms. I’ve heard them called the bridal phlox because they’ve so showy. Highly recommend! Thank you for all the information that you share in such a pleasant way, Steph!, Cindy

[@CookiesAndCosmos]

Just a 34 hour drive and 2318 miles and I could visit this lovely nursery. I love that I could look at plants and such, eat lunch and then go back to plant gazing without missing a beat =) I had a wonderful time visiting this nursery "with" you! Steph (or do you prefer Stef or what?) is going to have 100,000 subscribers in no time. We need to get her (and George) that silver KZbin plaque!

[@HookedandRooted]

@@CookiesAndCosmos thank you so much for coming to the nursery with me 💚

[@threeriversforge1997]

The Rattlesnake Master and Ironweed are native to the US and much needed additions to the garden if we want to rebuild the food web and help the songbird population. I think the Rattlesnake Master is as ugly as sin, but folks seem to like that look, and I have to admit that it adds some interesting architecture to the beds. Ugly but useful. The Ironweed is a lot better than the non-native/invasive verbena bonairensus and gives you a lot of the same color and structure. Both of them can handle the worst soils and heat, being native to the area and evolved to handle the environment there.

[@renapunte6591]

Hi Steph, loved that nursery. I wish we had more of those where I live. I found a beautiful plant called Vancouver centennial geranium. Gets star like red flowers and pretty bronzed red leaves . Only gets to be 12” in height and width great ground cover.

[@denisedelgado3350]

What a fun place! Gorgeous items!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Denise! thank you, its always a feast for the eyes and senses for us gardeners. I love it there. 💚

[@josweatt898]

I have a now 5 foot tall Amber Glow Redwood That I love. Thanks for such a wonderful tour!

[@HookedandRooted]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Jo. Those redwood trees are so cool!

[@Peoniesandpinks]

I have David and it’s beautiful. It doesn’t get as much powdery mildew as other varieties that I have. I also have the backlight which is similar with just a tad powdery mildew.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks Meghan! So good to know. I am going to pick up some next spring, and perhaps even the backlight luminary to compare. I have some fashionably early crystal, and while beautiful, it gets terrible powdery mildew. Could be that I have it planted close to other plants too as things grow in they get less airflow. I'll have to work on that next spring.

[@cherylwhitesell2522]

Love this place!

[@mariacosta6086]

Hi Steph. I just finished watching your video. I have yet to go to Briggs . They have beautiful plants. Can’t wait to see how the ones you picked out do in your garden. Great video. ❤❤❤

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Maria! Oh its a great nursery, you would absolutely love it! I'll be planting things out real soon! 💚

[@JoyfulJerseyGardening]

Steph, I’ve had the Luminary Opalescence Phlox (pink flowers) in my garden for the past 2 seasons. It is absolutely amazing!! It started blooming the last week of June and is STILL currently in bloom!! Not one bit of powdery mildew, and we are very hot and humid here in Southern New Jersey. That white Luminary variety will probably be perfect for you.

[@Peoniesandpinks]

I was there Saturday!

[@emmalavenham]

Highly recommend exploring the growing number of cultivars of metasequoia (dawn redwood) - there are some dwarfs that could be 6-10 ft in 30 years …. Like tamarack, they come from swamps so they can take the rain we have been getting.. the fall color is a super cool orange

[@sannaericditsler4034]

I have started ironweed from seed. It is very tall and pretty. That's all I know because this is the first year I have had it. Thanks for the video. It looks like a great garden center.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks for sharing Sanna. I hope it blooms beautifully for you!

[@BloomThereItIs]

Any Luminary phlox you will be amazed by. Can’t go wrong.

[@butterflybush8981]

Ironweed is a pollinator magnet. It adds nitrogen to the soil.

[@HookedandRooted]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing 🌱

[@aalejardin]

Rattlesnake master and ironweed are very cool native plants. I have the species ironweed and a cultivar and the rattlesnake master in a big planting in a moist area that is mostly native plants or nativars. They have been in the garden for a couple of years and I haven't had any problems with them -- they don't seem to be crazy re-seeders. They are very attractive to a wide variety of pollinators and, at least the species, are big plants. My native plant area is pretty large and thickly planted -- Joe Pye weed, milkweeds, goldenrods, native grasses, penstemons, echinaceas and more. The area has a sort of Piet Oudolf vibe so a bit wild but that works well for the iron weed and rattlesnake master. Fortunately, I don't seem to have any rattlesnakes :) though I am going out today to try to corral some native asters that have splayed all over their neighbors. Zone 7a lower Hudson Valley NY.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! Your garden sounds like a pollinator haven, and lovely! I have seen photos of Piet Oudolf's gardens, and they are spectacular. I was actually close to this nursery again this afternoon and picked up the ironweed. I'm going to plant it right out side my raised bed garden (pollinator garden). Its still budded so I'm excited to see it bloom. Thanks for watching, and for your comment. Happy gardening! 🌱

[@kerry4261]

My David phlox has been blooming non stop from June to September. It occasionally gets a little powdery mildew but it is well worth the effort to clip out the diseased stems. It is by far my most reliable flowering perennial flower I have in my garden!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Kerry, Great to know. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Phlox David. I appreciate it 🌱

[@michellefrance1165]

Nice nursery 😊 I have a fence loaded with Sweet Autumn clematis so pretty and the scent and pollinators love it!!

[@HookedandRooted]

That sounds lovely Michelle! 🌱

[@karenfuller450]

Love shopping at Briggs! And they guarantee their perennials for one year. Never had to return one yet.

[@HookedandRooted]

I agree, its a great place 🌱

[@febakoshy8888]

Cool place !

[@Lacoux]

Just a heads up that air plants do need water. They just don't need to sit in standing water. Air plants need to be given a soak once a week in cool water for 10 minutes or so.

[@AmandaKennedy-bv4dh]

'David' is one of the best phlox, in my experience. Tall, prolific, never gets mildew or black spot.

[@HookedandRooted]

That's wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing Amanda 🌱

[@CindyRobillard]

Thanks for another great video. I was able to buy 4 candy corn spirea at Lowe’s because of your last video. Thanks for sharing.

Bought my head planter at home goods in seekonk and it a big one ..

[@HookedandRooted]

oh good to know!! I'll have to look there. Thank you so much Donna!

[@arnorrian1]

I'm envious about that ironweed (Vernonia lettermannii). It's not available in my country as a seedling. I got hold of 10 seeds from England, but no germination. Amazing plant.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! It was a very interesting plant, and new to me. I ended up being close to this nursery today and took a detour to go grab one. I'm sorry your seeds didn't take. Hope you can find a plant at some point. Thanks for watching 🌱

[@joycearthur5244]

Wow what a nice garden center, wish I was close to it but maybe best I’m not. 😝

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Joyce, I get what you mean! Luckily I'm 40 minutes away from this beautiful place, so I only go about 2-3 times a season.

Would the metal topped birdhouses get too hot in summer if they were in direct sunlight?

[@HookedandRooted]

Its possible, I just looked it up. Seems they would be great for warmth in winter, but may be too hot in summer and it would be best to place them in some shade.

[@jcnorton55]

@@HookedandRooted Thanks for checking! Maybe block the opening and use it just as decoration? For me, I would worry too much about how hot it would get in summer, and in winter, there would be zero insulation from night freezing temps. I'm in upper Wisconsin, and we can get crazy high summer temps and even crazier low temps.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

$140 for a small bird house. OMG

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, I'm certain the handmade craftsmanship contributed to it. They appear to be beautifully made.

[@nildanatsiz1420]

I have Ironweed (Vernonia) Summer's Swan Song. It's a gorgeous plant. It just started to bloom now and full of buds in its third year. I recommend it.

[@HookedandRooted]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing Nilda. I actually was close to this nursery this afternoon, and stopped in to pick up the ironweed 🌱

[@sarahmarti141]

I think you mean Rozanne geranium not Roxanne.

[@HookedandRooted]

haha yes Sarah! Thank you lol. I didn't even catch that 🌱
