PETITTI | Pollinator Garden Tour

[@katherinecornette5315]

This is what makes a garden come alive! Birds, bees, butterflies all enjoying the flowers 🌸

[@tinajohnson7375]

I love seeing the plants in a real life application setting. Allows us to see what works well together

[@joannelop4072]

Great Video. It has given me some ideas for more pollinator plants. I find my big box Goldstrum rudbekia doesnt attract bees the same way as native varieties. The good thing is the seed reverts back to whatever native strain and the bees love those. I take the babies and plant them in my garden so the bees have some good stuff to collect.

Excellent presentation.

[@ramonakaufman8134]

Butterfly bush came up by chance in our yard, and this past summer, mostly bees were attracted to it. Seldom saw butterflies. But was happy to have bees to pollinate squash and tomato. Plan to go bigger next summer.

I loved everything about this video, it was so packed full of valuable information! Include umbellifers like parsley and dill for swallowtails to munch on. In general pollinator gardens should also include food sources for butterfly caterpillars, but of course that means pretty plants will get munched 🐛

[@kathyszeremet7138]

Thanks Noelle. So many great ideas!🦋

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

Thanks for your wonderful video Noelle. I love coreopsis as well and have a couple in my garden. I did not realize there were so many colorful flowers available until I watched your video, Noelle. Bought Rudbeckia denver daisy today & more of a compact Rudbeckia Laura to be planted as well, just gorgeous. Happy Autumn to you in Ohio,! 🍂

Love this pollinator garden! Thank you for taking us on this tour 😀

[@Victoria-pt6ll]

This was fantastic!!!!! I’be been gardening seriously for just a year now and this year I’m focused on pollinators… so much great information. Just bought 3 milkweed plants today! Thank you _ you’re such a wealth of knowledge and inspiration 💫

[@PetittiGardenCenters]

❤️ Happy Gardening!

[@ettietti8533]

Dear Petti thank you so much for your detail’s explanation of your pollinator garden, the flower names, the bolds color, and all the things that we need for a successful garden pollinator garden ,12 years ago I created what I called semi pollinator garden when I have some of the flowers that you mention, but I am looking for renovating my garden and one of them is my pollinator garden p.s. your zoning garden the same as my garden Zoning (ontario Canada) 😍❤👍👍👍

[@BukeyeStateGardening]

An absolutely beautiful garden and presentation! I plant two uptick yellow and red coreopsis, and the bees love them!!!

[@johnkulcsar1649]

Outstanding & informative video. THANKS

[@billwest9110]

Your plant placement allows pollinators to collect efficiently. If you get a chance try wild quinine and goldenrod. The latter is top host plant and the former brings the full range of pollinators.

[@shellemorgan3003]

Great information offered in this video. Thank you so much for sharing and I’m excited to start a pollinator garden next spray.

[@PetittiGardenCenters]

Glad it was helpful! Happy gardening!

[@deener15]

great video

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

I love your garden!! It’s an inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and KZbin creator. l’m just harvesting my first fruits and veggies so exciting! I wish you a happy growing season. I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.

beautiful

[@lynnehershberger6572]

Great video! Used some of your thoughts for my horticulture report on Pollinators at my local garden club this week!! We want to make a pollinator garden at our local garden center which is part of Canton City Park Dept. How can we keep it neat and tidy? Plants to avoid?

[@PetittiGardenCenters]

To keep your pollinator garden neat and tidy, try planting in clusters or groups of 3-5 plants of your favorite pollinator attractants, properly space the clusters out so there is plenty of room to grow, and keep a 1-2" mulched border around the clusters. This works especially well when Milkweed is planted on the edges of the garden. We suggest using Butterflyweed (Asclepias tuberosa) versus Common Milkweed (A. syriaca) because it is fairly aggressive. Weed by hand as needed, but pollinators love weeds too! Leave the leaves and all the stems up until we reach 50 degrees for 5 days in the spring, then cut stems at varying heights between 6-24" tall for future nesting sites. As long as you keep an edge and clean appearance with mulch, it will look great.

[@kendalbell1897]

Amazing info! What’s the white spiky flower near the alliums? It’s center-screen at 5:35. Veronica maybe? Beautiful garden!!

[@diversitylove5460]

Thanks for the walk through 💕 🙋‍♀️ what kind of shelter should be built into the pollinator garden? I understand after they caterpillar and eat, they cocoon. Also for the sweat bees, how do you make nesting for them in the ground? 😊

[@barbarawinters2657]

Great presentation! I was hoping you’d mention the tall grass at the end of the garden. We have three waiting to be planted. Are there benefits to including them in the pollinator garden? Many thanks!

[@williamtaylor2412]

love this

Honeybees don’t care if you are right there. Mine just fly around my head when I have to garden in front of the hive.

[@nancytipping7264]

This is not meant to be critical, but you have a lot of non native plants here. They might be good for nectar and pollen, but the foliage won't support the full ecosystem of insects (bird food like spiders, crickets, grasshoppers etc.) because the leaves aren't native. Also, honey bees are native to Europe and I want my plants to be useful to our struggling native bees. Here in Connecticut we have over 300 different kinds of native bees and one non native honey bee. Our farmers now sometimes pay for honey bees to be brought to their farms to pollinate the crops. Our native bees used to do that and if we support them, they will be able to do it again. I don't mean to be critical, but these are the thoughts I had as I listened to your video. What do you think?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌿🌳💚

[@sheila5621]

Is that a grass behind you?

[@ScottThompson-t6r]

What plants bloom in mid-to-late may ?

[@PetittiGardenCenters]

If you're in Northeast Ohio, we have a Perennial Bloom Calendar available on our website as a guide to what blooms when! www.petittigardencenter.com/perennials-monthly-bloom-calendar/ You can find the specific May options here: www.petittigardencenter.com/may-blooming-perennials/

[@sherriianiro747]

Not sure if you mentioned it or not but no pesticides includes chemical fertilizers that drift to flowers and according to beekeepers bees pollinate & end up poisoning whole hive. Butterflies are especially sensitive. Everything needs to be organic.
