How To Create A Wildflower Meadow in 1 Year!! Native Garden Makeover! DIY No Lawn

It’s so sick to see a person close to my age native planting in Htown! I loved this video; thanks for the inspiration!

you are awesome

I love this. Glad to find your channel. I live in Houston too! I will check out the seed company.

I was just scrolling not paying attention and I thought it sed how to creat a wildfire in a meadow 😬

Where did you get the seeds?

Awesome wildflowers! You should grow some passionflowers..

Planting natives and caring for them means taking care of nature. Plus they are truly beautiful!😊

I’ve been a huge fan of your thrift videos for years, studied environmental science and worked for a conservation landscaping company. Words cannot describe how excited I am about this video

Love this vid, love your dedication. Keep it up man.

could you mulch the areas where weeds pop up? the wood chips are often free.

Hi Paul, in the UK the Yellowrattle plant is often used in wild meadow plantings because apart from giving a pop of yellow, it stops grass invading the wild flower mix and dominating. It manages to do do in balance with the other plants. Is that a plant you have in the US?

Paul, we’re a martial arts school in Alexandria, Virginia and are preparing to open a new location. We’d like to create a small wildflower garden, and your video has inspired us. One question: are most of the seeds that are available on Amazon suitable for growth in our region? Separately, you possess tremendous screen presence. So, thank you and keep up the great work!

ugh I'm in the invasive grasses stage, so stressful

Loving your channel! We're in Houston, too, and trying to de-grass our yard and like ya said, the grass WILL control you! Haha, thanks for creating great native plant content :)

Cute ACD and garden ❤

Why do people do so much work to make a wildflower meadow? They literally fall from the plants and grow back in wild. Just throw the seeds if you have space they will grow better than whatever you do to grow them better.

i have to mention your cap... LOL🤣

thanks for this.. im fro m houston and i know what you mea by just saying zone 9 because its unpredictable and right now its a crazy hot hot humid weather! I tried doing the rain dance but no luck.. didnt work!

used to watch the thrift vids a long ass time ago lol good to be back

Gonna start my own this fall! Thanks for the inspo!

I just bought a house and i've started to get interested in making my home look nice and I'm so glad I found this video. I'm thrilled to learn you live in Houston too!

earth is my planet too! 🙏🏻

Those lemon beebalms are fantastic plants i grew some from some random seeds a freind gave me. Hummingbirds cant stay away from them..

It looks great and I love how you care about the pollinators.

Hello I’ve been watching your channel for some time now. I live in zone 9a. Love your style. I would like to speak with you about my garden projects. For a merch design in exchange for your help. What’s a good way to contact you?

Just started watching you today! LOVE your energy and spirit! It’s awesome! Thank you for the tips! I will be using them.
What planting zone do you live at?
I’m a 7.

It started in January. *cries in 5b* haha! We’re in our prime up here now, we have cool summer breezes like you wouldn’t believe. Love to see your work!

Sold me with the Malibu's Most Wanted reference.

Thank you for keeping it real!!! I had similar growing pains with my meadow as well. I plan to follow your strategy of patiently fighting back the grasses and the invasives.

Hi, I stumbled upon your videos and your so great and entertaining to watch. I have a question hopefully you can make a video and answer. What got you into doing these videos? I have kids and its a joy seeing someone as young as yourself educating me. I would love to get my kids interested aswell Im definetely trying the "pond video" with my kids.

Earth is ma plonet looks amazing brother I wash I lived in a subtropical or tropical climate you truly are blessed but I also wanted to ask you what happened to the Mexican fan palm I was trying to see it in the vid and couldn’t find it sadly😭😂

Paul my mom wants to do this in her backyard but I keep telling her that the grass and weeds she currently has growing there will take over. Would you suggest laying out the cardboard to kill all the grass and then throw down the wildflower seed after we know the grass is dead? or how would you go about transforming her yard into a lush wildflower meadow? thanks

I love the new meadow!! So u know of a good option for partial shade/sun seed mix?

Oh my goodness! The grasses that pop up in my flower beds, flower pots and dang near everywhere. I literally over plant and the grass don’t care. They will grow in the shade, sun .
I bin working on Wild flower gardens for years. It is finally coming together though.

Do these die back over winter or is anything evergreen? I'm curious if it'll look barren or not. Would you reseed at all next year or see what comes up?
I'd gotten some bee balm that is still growing, but I can't wait to see those awesome flowers! Your wildflowers look great! Good job!

Great job. I love the bee balm. Comes back every year and the spicy scent is a favorite of mine. I’m weird like that 😂

Earth 🌎🌍 is my ploooonnet 😆✌️❤️🎉🥳

🥳🎉✨💞😘

Love that you have a pumpkin growing from some seeds from a pumpkin that you found on the side of the road 😂

You are great at repurposing stuff for your garden!!

Hi, I'm new to gardening and would love to also include a wildflower area. Do you eventually have to cut the flowers down, so they can regrow next spring? Or how should they be maintained?

omg, thanks for the plant porn Paul! :D I will be moving to the Austin area soon, so I love getting the low down on plants in TX from your channel. <3 Calendula would probably go nuts for you, and is super easy, edible, medicinal, bright and cheerful, etc.

Love this garden! If I very buy a house again I'm going to do this for sure

congratulations! crazy cool, for sure. You give me hope for my pocket prairie. My little garden is a weedy mess at the moment. but I am still working on it.

This is my dream yard, and I’m in the Houston area so it’s super inspiring

I‘m happy it finally worked Paul.
Earth is my plahnet 🌎❤
