The PNW Native Plant Garden Sanctuary of Landscape Designer Leslie Davis

[@HannahRusnac]

Beautiful garden and tour. It was so interesting to learn about how the bigleaf lupine seed distribution led to the brown flowers! My bigleaf lupine went brown too - I wish they were the pretty blue/purple color!

We took out a gazillion blackberry vines when we moved in 6 years ago, and I hoped for native plants to show, but I have been adding native plants and flowers as possible. Just love the insects and birds that come with every new plant. More like this is so informative. New to your channel.

Thats amazing, I am so happy you are turning your backyard into a native-plant habitat, and that we can help you with plant and design inspiration. I especially love how Leslie incorporated Sidalcea camestris, a native flower that is become increasingly rare in the wild, into her design. Small changes added up can make a big difference for the insects that rely on these plants. I hope to showcase more native plant gardens next year...stay tuned for more inspiration and education. and thank you for watching!

I love the content of your videos. I always get a “takeaway” for my own garden.

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you for saying so Judy, I am so glad to hear it. This garden is one of my favorites …curious what your takeaway from this one is? Only if you’d like to share of course :)

[@lesleyfrenzartist]

This may be my favorite of your tours I've seen-- beautifully designed, native focused garden!

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you! Im so glad you enjoyed it. Leslie is such an amazing designer.

Love all of the natives! The Dawn redwoods are beautiful… originally from China and thought to be extinct. They were introduced here by seeds brought over in 1947. They quickly became sought after and were commercially available by the early 50’s. We have some of the first planted in our S.F. Golden Gate park. I also know of 3 very old Dawns in a Sonoma County garden. ❤

What a delight! I grow natives in the mid-Atlantic so it was especially fascinating to see similar plants native to Oregon used in a garden setting. I've also found that deer pressure makes a fully native garden almost impossible - I loved her choices for those areas. Leslie is such a talented designer and articulate about her choices. Wonderful tour, as always.

I’ve never seen landscaping like this. I really love the natural world in this part of the country, so to have this design at your home is amazing. Thanks for making this video.

I found your YT channel a few weeks ago and have to say it is so refreshing to see gardens in the PNW. Thank you for your great work ! This garden is inspiring and gives me many ideas on incorporating more native plants into my own space.

What a fun tour. Very educational with the native plants.

[@JillCurtisJackson]

I love seeing the PNW native plants used as a majority of the plantings, while also keeping a garden aesthetic.

Another beautiful vid by Over The Fence! Keep em coming!

[@GDSavingThePast]

Another great garden tour with an abundance of plants to admire

[@katiecannon8186]

I live in FL. If I lived there I think my entire garden would be nothing but that Goat’s Beard & Big Leaf Lupine. Oh my gosh !!!!! They’re gorgeous. I guess that would make a boring garden though - lol.

[@sebastian8922]

Hey there! I moved from SoFlo to Portland in 2021 and I can confirm: It’s awesome up here and my lupine are beautiful. No regrets.

[@katiecannon8186]

@@sebastian8922 I think I’ve decided to retire in Southern France. No kidding. The western part of southern France is cheap. And beautiful

[@stephaniesackettedmunds3633]

beautiful garden. What size is the lot?

[@janegerard5604]

I have mostly natives around the perimeter of my yard, purposely because I love the way they look and knew maintenance would be minimal after the first few years. My hedgerows includes pacific wax myrtle, oregon grape, evergreen huckleberry, Alaska cedars, Red and green twig dogwoods, vine maples, Douglas firs, ceonothus, currant bushes (more like trees now), twinberry, underplanted with salal. Great privacy and easy care. More people should get enthusiastic about natives.

[@overthefencetours]

What an amazing abundance of biodiversity! Love it!

[@0VistaDelMar0]

I'm learning, I want to dash in recklessly and plant nootka rose and douglas aster.

[@overthefencetours]

I fully support you to sprinkle in as much of those two plants as your heart desires :D. I don't have nootka rose myself but my douglas asters give me so much joy. And If Leslie uses it then you know it's an awesome plant.

[@alr293]

What’s the name of the “juicy flower”? My kids would love that!

[@janetweinberg]

phlomis fruticosa or Jerusalem sage
