❤❤❤ I want his field guide/host plant reference!!

Incredible talk by an oracle of the California tree world

so glad this was posted, thank you!

In a discussion of Natives one should always start with the definition of ‘Cultivars’. Annie White did a nice research project of species & cultivars and found that generally the true species are better for Pollinators.

Oh my goodness I learned so much!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

At41:40 I wish the speaker would elaborate question. It’s such an important point Especially if you are new to drip irrigation. I made the mistake of buying different parts from different manufacturers and They did not fit. I had to return to Home Depot several times.

AMAZING lecture! Thank you so much for sharing so much information.

Wonderful lecture! Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I am eliminating my front lawn. I just finished laying the builders paper. Watch out for gusts of wind, which can pull the paper out of the staples. I used bricks to temporarily weigh down the paper. My redwood chips are being delivered tomorrow. I look forward to not having to water a west facing lawn. No more cutting grass or raking leaves!

The closing one eye trick is great. Really helps to see shapes properly.

Wonderful video Deva!

When you use the white board, you don't show it while there is a photo in place.

Can't see additional photos...!!

Can't see

What the heck are "fun jeye " ? Why can't an otherwise educated yankee say "fungi" ? (fun gee)

ground dwelling bees scared the life out of me when I picked up a 2 gallon pot of plants and they came out angry

Look at me, I'm the enemy to the Bay Area the Bay Area people plotted on.

Very informative. Thank you, Deva!

Great vid!

Fantastic presentation with excellent, specific tips for beginners. The design advice with the emphasis on maintaining interest during during non-blooming seasons was also excellent and is rarely discussed.

I think it would be cool to have a California native app that helps with garden planning

Where can field guide be ordered?

Follow nature, drip irrigation does not mimic rain, water like rainfall. Establish the plants , my new garden was watered in summer to get it established, when it has had a couple of summers and winters behind it, then follow what happens naturally in California. The fall and winter season are the growing season when rainfall is more common, watering in summer after garden is mature is asking for death for Ca native plants. Calscape.org

I thought the idea of a native garden was that once established you wouldn't have to water at all!

I love using sod and turning it into mounds, rest becomes mulch.

Used black plastic bags, cardboard and make my own mulch.

I removed mine with a tiller and a battery operated trimmer. Front Lawn

FYI: for those in California and with children in elementary though high school, you might want to look at the EEI materials for you children, or if you are in school yourself, you might want to check this out, californiaeei.org/curriculum/ or if you are thinking of college, openstax.org/subjects/science there are materials on biology, astronomy and many other science related topics as well as business and the humanities. If you find this interesting, spread the word!

Great information!!! Thanks for uploading!

Is this safe for dogs?

This lady knows her stuff I I have learned a lot Justin 26 minutes

Thought was mentioned here water in fall, winter, spring as not so hot but sometimes here can be 105 around Halloween or 95 in January, so should we not water when hot in non summer month?

I love these cnps videos but the audio is consistently bad. I suggest you try recording the voice directly with a microphone on the presenter rather than recording all the echoes in the room. Other than that, the content, presentations, and the speakers are excellent. Good work.

Great speaker. I would love the handouts.

Check wit the garden professors on sheet mulch techniques.

Would be nice if she named the types of plants.

so this is what, an extended ad for her book? right when she should be imparting content, real knowledge, she refers to the book. why not talk about those games? why is she not sharing?

I'd love to do this.. however.. animals.. my dogs.. my pig.. my tortoises.. they will all sadly get sick if they ingest som of these beautiful wild flowers/ plants.. I want to do this.. but it's not safe for me.. and many parents.. sucks.. as for the front yard. This can be done! :)

You are an amazing teacher! Best Greetings from Germany!

I bought three of those water holding brushes and they were awful. I couldn't control the flow of water, they being too dry and the handles were too stiff to squeeze the extra water that I needed. What is a decent brand? Mine was not good.

Thanks so much. I have been searching for precise information on the net, on wildlife ponds for the last year. This was great.

I wish you had been my art teacher in high school.

This is wonderful. Thank you!

Better teacher than Paul Stamet

That's great that this conference is open to everyone, thanks

here is an idea. zoospores have to encyst to survive; they cannot obtain nutrients prior to encysting. they are the pathogens power without them it would slowly starve and be easy to kill or combat. the zoospores have an extremely hard time exiting their sporangia(um) it takes a long time and is like childbirth... much energy is expended. that little hole in the end of the sporangium is barely big enough for them to squeeze through... if you could block their exit they would rapidly lose viability and starve to death... This could be the answer to the war against the countless incarnations of Phytophthora. If you could use osmosis to enlarge the zoospores they would become to big to exit their sporangia(um). and they would be fatally sealed. I'm sure their is a chemical or solution that you could use to test this because in doing so hundreds of trillions of innocent plants and trees may be saved from a gruesome death. I live in maine so i cannot experiment on phytophthora ramprum and i hope to god it never gets here!!! but i may be able to conduct research on Phytophthora infestans (late blight) at some time as i am studying to become a botanist. i love plants and trees and phytophthora scares me. until the day comes where i can test the hypothesis why don't you try to do ahead of time. the sooner phytophthora is dead the better!!! I feel a strong connection to plants and trees and they have always comforted me. and we owe them this. if what science says is true they are intelligent sentrient beings with minds like animals maybe even ours!!! maybe even syrpassing us in some ways!!! the world needs to know that heir roots are their brains and the can feel just like us.... regardless iy you belive that hey are conscious, we both know that the Phytophthora must be vanquished or hundreds of trillins of plants and trees will die. if you prove my theory correct we may save them!!! I'm not doing this for fame or money I'm doing it for my friends!!! they mean the world to me and without them there would be no world!!! let us babnd together and trest this hypothesis. if it does not work initially than there is surely a way to make it work. let us send phytophthora back from the festering darkness from which it was spawned!!!! the plants give us life now we need to save theirs!!! i am sure this hypothesis would work on all phytophthoras because they all share the sporangia and zoopspres!!! killing phytophthora is my duty... long have i been haunted by it!!!

Do they like wildflower gardens?
