NATIVE PLANT SHOPPING at Catskill Native Nursery - Ep. 127

Sander and I had to take a little road trip across the state to the Catskills and en route we were sure to stop at Catskill Native Nursery, which has a range of plants-including some hard-to-find native plants and new cultivated varieties of native plants. We decided we would put in a large garden relatively last minute (more on that in a future episode), but needed a few more plants to round out that bed.

getting into plants it's easy to fall for exotic plants because of how interesting they are, but as time goes on you really build an appreciation for how unique and beautiful natives are.

The birds love those small crabapples!

[@LongislandnativeSanctuary]

Native plants just really warm my heart ❤

[@rickkatz4692]

I bought a small 4'x4' trailer and use it behind my little car. It kind of changed my world, almost like having a truck.

[@dewantoroo]

Man i expected to see how you do the "lego stacking" in the car 😂

[@LongislandnativeSanctuary]

I love all your videos. I think you have the only New York native specialist channel

[@laurahiggins4712]

Thanks for taking us along on your native plant shopping trip! Fun to see all the plants and looks like it was a beautiful day. We planted a Witch-hazel bush on our property for the hummingbirds. The Anna's hummers stay here all year long and the winter blooms provide food for them. Zone 8b in Western Washington

Road trip!!!! Thanks for highlighting all these amazing places.

[@Terri_Stauffer]

Love Catskill Native nursery, I’m there all the time. Always fun to see what’s in stock.

[@JoannaLouise200]

That was a colourful Autumnal haul! Particularly like the Mountain witch-alder...beautiful leaf shape and russet colour, turning to bright red when the Sun shines through ~ worth showcasing near the main or Meadow House :)

[@ceedee2570]

Great to know about this local nursery. I like the shorter format of this video.

[@nachig4754]

Fall, best time to plant , ground still warm and sales on nurseries, even when the plants going to dormancy , roots will still grow and establish and come back next season with all the energy :). that is very important to still water the plants, until is consistent 40 degrees and below and snow on the ground. I had killed some trees and shrubs in the past because of dry winters and warmer than use to be. I also learned, that even the deer resistant plants, when they come from the nursery , plants smells and test different than they ones grow in nature. al least until establish. I also find out that is hard to find true natives, and not be treat it with neonicotinoids, not all growers disclose this info neither are any regulation as far as I know.Was a big disappointed to find out this working an a nursery myself, and there is more research to get done. thank you Guys for sharing and is a beautiful nursery by the way. Cheers

Always fun watching shopping trips. Do you have these 2 books: Native Plants of the Northeast: a guide for gardening Andy conservation by DJ Leopold and Planting the Future by Rosemary Gladstar. Both awesome but the latter tells how long many of these plants live and also how many years before they bloom, like the Pink Lady Slipper takes about 7 years after the leaves show before it flowers and could live 40 years.

[@aalejardin]

Thanks for the tour -- I have been thinking about making an expedition to this nursery. Definitely looks worth the trip!

[@cynthiahamblin-perry5880]

Be aware that bayberry will spread/sucker very fast if happy where you plant it. Also with bayberry you need a male and female to get fruit. Bayberries have a waxy coating which the colonist used to make candles. The leaves are also edible as an herb in cooking (similar to bayleaf) I am jealous you have such lovely nurseries near you. I would love to shop there!

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

I would love to see a picture of you and Saunder packed into the car, peaking out through the leaves!

[@petrasebastian8644]

Thank you for this, a decade ago, I used to live in U.S. near Catskills Native Nursery, my beloved gardening sanctuary 💚💗🌸

[@adkforester5428]

Like a kid in a candy store

[@charlesbale8376]

I am always looking for plant suggestions, new things I can try in my garden.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Ms. Summer. Enjoy planting those. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@Pervydachny]

Excellent nursery. Thank you for sharing interesting video👍🌻💙

[@Shaden0040]

you live in an area where you might be able to grow cloud berries. Found in Scandinavia as well as Long Island and in the adirondacks of New York and in Minnesota.

[@bretfurgason7615]

so much fun. (o; we do all our new plants and dividing in fall. the success rate is amazing , plus no worries about our goofy rain schedules. plus discounts.. have fun, enjoy😉😊🙂

[@lgarden7086]

I have huge oak leaf hydrangeas in my backyard and the deer do enjoy them. I try to outsmart them by occasionally spraying a repellent and by hanging smelly things they don’t like on branches. When I chop my nepeta, mint, Russian sage, and garlic leaves I spread/hang the cuttings where the deer might nibble. I also spread citrus peels in plants they are prone to. I think we have tried it all 😊 I never invested in a deer fence like you did, but thinking back now I wish we would’ve. I’m glad we aren’t heavily browsed but they let me know they’re here. Nice selection of plants…hope to see you on planting day💚

[@sandragoerlich7134]

Never eaten a pawpaw fruit, I bet they are tasty , nice plant selection, thanks for sharing!!!

[@naturecare6072]

Very homey nursery. Thanks for the tour.

[@sandylee1717]

Beautiful selection

[@drekfletch]

Are you looking to what the climate is doing to your growing zones, and helping natives from further south transition northward?

[@maynardgreenhouse]

The helianthus autumn gold is one of the best late flowering perennials. Gets overlooked until it flowers. Glad you picked it up. The reason for the pots buried like that in mulch is mostly to keep tall plants from falling over in the wind. In the winter some may have to get moved in a covered greenhouse spaced pot to pot to protect from the cold

[@lgarden7086]

Hello, I usually have plants buried in my garden soil and mulch sometimes completely to the pot brim. I leave them until springtime and try to decide where to put them, or if I donate to our annual garden sale my work is almost done. I once kept a lilac that bloomed and was very happy in its large plastic pot until I needed the pot for our fig tree.

[@cefcat5733]

You are having Christmas early. That's fun. I have walked by rows of bushes and they have the most beautiful scents, some during thev day and some at night. Do you have any native bushes or plants with a beautiful woodsy or flowery scent? How about the ones you have chosen? Thanks for sharing your excitement and tour with us. 🍁🍂🍃

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Thank you!

[@shephusted2714]

i would say double down on planting trees and doing more birdhouses and bathouses and owl houses - trees have great roi - overall diversity is good - some may be able to make it now whereas 20 years ago they may not - persimmons and paw paw, pecans - try some moon shots

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

Do the burgundy-leaved plants appeal to pollinators?

[@amyjones2490]

Hey there’s always u-hauls

[@awkardbutawesome]

I find it really difficult to buy native plants from local plant nurseries in Latvia. Most plants I see being sold are japanese spireas, barberries, thujas... To be honest I don't even know which plants are native to Latvia, it is hard to find info...

[@igneousidol]

if you were not driving with some in your lap and on the floor between your feet, you could have bought a few more...lol

[@srantoniomatos]

Anything that flowers is a polinater. Almost everything flowers. Just because something isnt native dosent mean native wildlife dosent love it and thrive on it. We also like midle east and asian food in the west, and chinese native people florish in america... plants fungus algeas and animals move and evolve.

[@Shaden0040]

TTo prevent deer eatting your plants hire a sprayer tto spray the plants witth capcasum (hot pepper juice) to cover the plants. Deer won't rat it.

[@Shaden0040]

Do not spray on windy days.

[@swissmissy3804]

Who pays for all this?

[@cefcat5733]

Do you have sunflowers and pumpkins growing 'wild' to tease the deer away from your gardens? Do you have Milkweed growing wild there for the Monarchs? 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
