What to Expect: Native Seeding

A lot of questions arise when you first seed a plot of land, let Bre answer what should be happening for the first years of growth.

Thank you for this video! Such helpful info. I started my prairie garden 3 years ago and this spring has been such FUN so far! Sooo much is thriving that was teeny-tiny last year… and there are even some things coming up for the first time 😍 It’s nice to be reminded that these things take time. Happy Spring! 🙏🏼

Parks Canada planted a bunch of praire strips along the Trent Severn Waterway, but did no maintenance and they are now 40-80% weeds. I can't stress how important maintenance is to prevent this! Great video and very concise and accurate ❤️

Yes, some areas have really high wind pressure

thanks, very helpful. I'd just mention ' sleep - creep - leap' cycle to explain why is it 3+ years of waitng

If I’m cutting down to 6” the first year how do any wildflowers get established next year as I would think there wasn’t time to develop and drop them.

Flowers and plants keep growing no matter what. In fact, when you cut them the energy goes into the roots because you cut the flower off. Then it grows back. You ever cut a tree down and all of a sudden there is a bunch of suckers that shoot out? That’s from all the energy since you removed the tree.

@@user-wq5ws1qs7x but don’t all the plants I don’t want come back too? I’m asking because I have a large area I’d like to convert to native wildflowers and native plants but there are lots of none natives and undesirable plants there now.
