Welcome! I’m Andrew The Arborist - an urban forester and plant lover from the Philadelphia area. I’m passionate about trees, native plants and educating about nature and ecology. I’m an ISA-certified arborist primarily interested in urban forestry, and how we can better integrate nature into the spaces that we live and work. I also hope to raise awareness about environmental issues while increasing scientific interest and literacy through my videos!

HOA
Trees are actually giant mushrooms.
Ha! I tried this multiple times and the county sprayed and killed everything I planted. They do it still today. Poison going straight into the waterways via roadside ditches and gutters.
> why are they always grass Cause its easier and lower maintenance
I love this, and perhaps I'm way off, but... ticks? especially with narrower walkways and plants hanging over them? don't get me wrong - it's beautiful and enhances neighbourhoods on multiple levels, but ticks are always my first thought walking through/near tall grass, meadows, etc. 😳
Here here! I have a willow oak in there, but I bet if I added some milkweed, people would stop to appreciate the butterflies ❤ Doing it - thanks for the reminder about the stepping stones!
My strip is in shade so I have violets, blue stemmed goldenrod, and Christmas fern. We do need more info on plants tolerant to salt.
Some people in my neighborhood have planted local flowers in the strip in front of their house. I kinda wanna do the same.
When I first read “Roadside strips” I thought it said “Paradise strips” - but actually, it kind of is a paradise strip now! 😂💓
It depends on the terrain on the biome. In the savanah is completely diferent, the roots are more profound than spread
As long as you keep the sidewalk clear you can plant as many as you like
In the city of Toledo Ohio. The famous zoo decided to make a prairie in a road medium and the city allowed it for many years even giving signs for it, but due to complaints from drivers the city mowed it all down without the zoo management’s permission! Many people loved it for its rare native plants and butterflies…. And it was well-kept as well! it’s mind boggling to think about how the city destroyed it all. I’m not from there but I felt like sharing because I needed to vent. Cities should give nature a chance to exist but Toledo didn’t care.
I can remember chesnut trees in West Virginia in the 1960's. Didn't the same thing happen to Elm trees?
I only water my lawn like once a week and it’s still green. It’s also about knowing proper practices
Man every time I see Andrew it brightens up my day. The algorithm doesn’t send him my way often, but when it does, I’m always delighted. It warms my heart and gives me comfort, to know that folks like Andrew exist in this world.
Why not take the plant up out of the water? Take it inward or far into a place that needs fertilizer. Use the soil you know, let it break down. Then use the remaining so as a fertilizer. Try.
Our HOA does not allow any plant to not appear symmetrically trimmed at all times:/ Even when it’s not good for the plant or proper at all. Idiots. Native flowers would through them into 100$ fining fits.
I haven't been visiting your channel lately, but now I do and is looking forward to this update if there will be!
I have prunella growing in the turf in my hellstrip. It mows down just fine and still has lots of little flowers (well, it’s winding down for the season). There’s also horestail in it, from before the land was developed five years ago. That also mows down just fine. 😊
Plants vs Zombies? ❌ Plants vs Heat! ✅
It looks very threatened. Poor guy.
You’re a hero for making this point by using your own planting example and showing other people’s efforts.
Even with the HOA in place, those associations can't do anything about things like endangered species, because at that point the national level of nature protection kicks in. In other words, even if you live in a HOA neighbourhood, if the association refuses to allow you to do this, i recommend "shopping" around for some local ecology/environment group and ask them about things like local protected species of bugs or plants or whatever, and ask them if they can help you setting a little grass island like this. Similar thing can be done for bats if they are in your area and you can apply for having a bat broodery/hybernation box installed in your garden for example. HOA can't do anything about this stuff. Once it's a part of some federally funded project, research, or protection, they are powerless.
Please, collect the seeds & sell them to a few of us every year. Extra money for yourself & you're spreading the love. ❤❤❤
How am i supposed to look up the specific ordinance for it? Theres a trillion different policies
I found a single nut that was viable, and I promptly ate it!😊
It is so much prettier, the flowers trees but it's the eye of the beholder.
From a landscaping perspective, if you put some sort of mesh pipe down in the ground in various spots, will the tree grow roots deeper because it’s getting oxygen there? And would this then mean it has more root mass? Hence more growth and healthier?
Looks so nice
The thing with having flowers near roads is that many bees and butterflies will end on car radiators if it's a fast road
Yes! It would be amazing if more could do this. And as far as the HOA areas. Would it not be awesome to change their view and perspective? Keep up the good fight!
Hey Andrew! I just moved to Scranton. Can you point me to any resources for planting my own micro meadow in street side strips!?
I love planting these! In my city we have a program called "Flip your strip" that encourages people to take out the grass or weeds and plant something pretty and water-wise! The city is more interested in saving water than planting purley native, but there are lots of natives on their list of recommended plants ❤️
My family did this and the code enforcer made us mow it. And we were on a “no parking” side of the street. My step dad was so mad 😂😭
My township ordinance won’t allow vegetation in the 3-8 ft tall range within 15 ft of the street (for safety/visibility), so only shrubs and ground cover would work in my area.
Love this channel ❤❤
My city's code enforcement will fine you
Plain grass is a lot easier to maintain, this makes the sidewalk more claustrophobic and uncomfortable to navigate, and plus if that is street parking, it's a pain to get out of your car.
That’s awesome! We had one house in our town that had at least a cultivated garden instead of turf. This year it got turned into turf. I don’t know which would be worse: that they got old and it was too much work, that someone new moved in got rid of the flowers, or if the city finally enforced their ordinance.
How could this be done in a deep fairly wide ditch in front of my house?
Look into a rain (bioretention) garden. Helps clean runoff water before ending up in streams.
My town limits height to less than 2.5 feet up on the strip which leaves space for some plantings with planning. The other thing is that I’m on a pretty busy road so I’m worry about birds and other wildlife getting hurt by getting startled while hunting
Permaculture Principle 11: Use the edges and value the marginal.
Having tall flowers, as beautiful as they are, makes it difficult to exit a vehicle from the passenger side. in some places there are laws against plantings for that very reason.
Also not very comfortable to walk by if the sidewalks are narrow.
Cars ruin everything, don't they?
hey Andrew Im a big fan of the channel. I’m in college right now trying to become a botanist myself. I did an extensive lawn renovation this summer and it would mean a lot to me if you checked it out. tell me what i did right and wrong you know? czcams.com/video/1mmidQQRskU/video.htmlsi=Do-7XeVsZ5P0RLIk
Thank you Sir for posting these videos to encourage people who would have never thought thos could be a possibility in their area❤
For me, we keep it low because people park there and it sucks to open your door and wipe out someone's bee balm. We have a tall grass next to the power pole to keep our clothes from bumping into the tarry pole, and that's all we have the spoons to do.
But if you plant like that you can't get out of the passenger side of your car when parked by the curb.
He said in the video to put stripping stones next to where cars park.

Doesn't the city own that?
You got it going on! Nice job!
