- Roy returns to Simple Cafe to continue where he left off last spring on coming to know some plants.
These next three shows follow up Coming to Know Some Plants Part 1 from early 2020. I discuss plants with personalities that respect their space in the garden and have a durable lifestyle. These plants have provided me with the opportunity to create 1000s of combinations and also come to know additional plants that I can continue to include in the plant communities. Once you and the plants understand each other and you begin creating healthy gardens, your planting intentions will take off. When you come to know plants, your possibilities are endless and you are unstoppable. Have Fun!

You are a national treasure
That was GREAT!!!
Shocked to see this video has so little views. This other channel has millions of view but the owner of that channel just goes around planting things that does even belong in those places. I even saw her plant a tricolor beach few feet from a house. This goes to show how little people know about gardening. Roy’s designs are more like a complete system. More people should embrace it.
I very much appreciate this approach to planting. I am frustrated that I cannot find information on growth rates and root forms/size (spatial competition below ground). Without that, it's going to take me 4-5 years to plant experimental plots and learn how large does a plant spread within say 1-2 years, the way I do with trees and shrubs. Same problem even worse with roots. Without digging up the root ball of a mature plant, I won't know how the plants are competing for root space. I need to plant a park next year. I don't have 4-5 years to develop the experimental plot to grow things out, test their growth rates and then plan the park bed layout. It would be so good to have this information for many plants, particularly native plants. As much as I appreciate the appendix in Roy's book, that does some of this, it's a limited palette of plants ... particularly natives. So I'm putting this out there as a call for information from our horticultural Extension Service agents ... state specialists.
So good to hear it is all right to be happy and your own best friend, gardening helps to get philosophical, but for me the garden never makes me see the world as a black hole or as too depressing 🙋
When I find a wisdom filled treasure, I normally bing watch for information and knowledge. But, your lecture is too full! My mind has expanded and needs to consider and absorb the facts and usage of these plants. Your philosophy is deep and intense. Plants speak louder than words. I’m sharing the theories with my garden club.
Wonderful! thanks for watching!

Thanks Roy! Very much enjoying these prairieside chats.
Thank you!
Thanks for the insight and time Roy! My garden ideas and approaches will surely take a lovely direction from your teachings!
Wonderful!
So inspiring thank you. I have clay soil and live in zone 4 with average humidity and fairly protected from wind. So nice to hear a gardener talk about how plant can live together harmoniously.
Wonderful! thanks for watching!
Wonderful. Thank you Roy for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love your methodology of teaching with stories. You're so funny and it has me think!! I'm always left discovering something new about the plants and myself. Thank you!
Welcome back, Roy. You made my day. Already looking forward to the next and every new episode/program/visit. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Many thanks!
Happy new year Roy! I sure look forward to a new season's worth of info and love for growing and green and your wonderful insights into life.
So nice of you!
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt insights so generously; that in itself spreads a lotta joy - and then there's the plants!! You are quite the self-seeder and the natural world is surely enriched by your thoughtful reflections. So appreciated.
Wow, thank you!
Love the info on intermingled plants and all your great ideas!
Thanks so much!
Wonderful, a new fan!
thank you!
Great, great videos - thank you!
Glad you like them!
Roy I just moved back to Western Michigan, Muskegon to be exact. I have been gardening professionally for 25 years out east, Nantucket and then NYC. I heard you speak at Plant O Rama at BBG. I am so thankful for the knowledge you share. It is done with kindness and humor. Trying to find my feet here in this new but familiar landscape for myself and you are my guide!
thank you!
I’m so happy that I found you!
thank you and welcome!
Thank you for addressing the echinacea issue. I have a tough time with many of the new varieties now available, especially when these tried and true varieties, which I greatly prefer, are available and reliable. I just love Echinacea pallida.
thank you! I do too!
Thank you Roy and happy new year! I love that serie. Very instructive. I heard you say several times that a rhizome plant will be stopped clump plant. Is there a plant that will stop the elymus repens growing in the pasture field next to my garden from invading my border ?
A young plant will have trouble competing with mature plants. Elymus repens finds its way through everything unfortunately.
That was my experience but I hoped for better... it even goes though miscanthus and molinia, though the rootball is really thick... thank you for answering! Looking forward to the next plants !
Roy I love your approach to gardening and your philosophy. Very inspiring and informative at the same time. Julio from Bloomers in the Garden radio show in New Jersey recommended your videos to me and I am very happy he did. I planted coreopsis zargeb and moonbeam in my garden 2 years ago. They are one of my favorite plants now. I have read that they are short lived and should be divided every 3 years. What are your thoughts on this?
Moonbeam should be divided or replaced but zagreb should be persistent. thanks for watching!
Roy, do you know of any garden nurturers in California that are on utube? I love your ideas and it would be great to follow someone with similar garden/ planting ideas in my planting zone
Lol I should say I will still follow your channel:)
Any tips for keeping rabbits from eating Echinacea pallida? Enjoying your videos immensely!
get a dog? or spray weekly with liquid fence.
Please tell your wife that nothing you're saying is boring to me :)
lol thank you!
