Landscaping for Wildlife with Native Plants with Debbie Roos

Debbie discusses guidelines for landscaping with native plants and highlight some favorite trees, shrubs, perennials, vines, and grasses that benefit pollinators, birds, mammals, and other wildlife.
Since 1999 Debbie Roos has been an Agriculture Agent for the Chatham County Center of North Carolina Cooperative Extension (we say the best extension agent in the world!!) where she is responsible for programming in the areas of commercial vegetable production, organic production, pollinator conservation, alternative agricultural enterprises, forestry, and beekeeping. Debbie worked for three years as an agroforestry Extension agent and technical trainer for the Peace Corps in Senegal, West Africa, and later completed graduate degrees in applied anthropology and horticulture at the University of Florida.
Debbie delivers educational programming to growers through regular workshops and her award-winning Growing Small Farms website (www.growingsmallfarms.org). Debbie is passionate about pollinator conservation and has planted demonstration habitats and developed resources to teach others about the importance of bees and other Native thistles provide tremendously valuable resources for lots of bees and other pollinators.
In 2019 Debbie received the Governor’s Conservation Achievement Award as the Wildlife Conservationist of the Year from the North Carolina Wildlife Federation. Visit her pollinator website at www.carolinapollinatorgarden.org

This is the best presentation on creating a pollinator habitat I have seen, thanks

Thanks so much I share your talk all the time when someone asks me about pollinator gardens.

Thank you so much for this very informative presentation. I am trying to create a permaculture food forest on my property, in Hays N.C.. I intend to plant many native plants in my garden, in order to attract a variety of wildlife; both for the garden’s benefit and for the local insects and fauna. I hope to visit the your garden, in Pittsboro, soon. 👍

Nice talk I really enjoyed your webinar , you talk about Dalea Purpurea saying it’s not native , I am surprised it’s a native plant .

I’m in Canada. Do you know if there’s a similar database of resources in Canada? Thank you Debbie Roos. I like your passion with native plants. Such a wealth of knowledge and well presented.

Going to winter show this winter, where did you buy your seeds from? It's a little challenging to find specific natives.
