00:00Man, this mulch is a little rich, I think, it might be too rich.

00:05Too rich?

00:06Yeah.

00:07We're in Miami, everybody's too rich.

00:08Or too poor, you know?

00:09You like that?

00:10Beautiful in its new home.

00:11There it is.

00:12It's so happy.

00:13Another lead plant restored.

00:14Planting at Charlie's has made us want to see what this yard will look like in 20 years.

00:23So Lydia told us about this guy, Dr. Arold, who's got an extensive native plant garden.

00:27So this is a Morpha craniolata, a critically endangered lead plant.

00:31And these were rescues from the late 90s from Miami.

00:35The population there is extinct.

00:37Really?

00:38What happened to it?

00:39They built something there?

00:40Just housing.

00:41Just suburbia.

00:42Suburbia came and just took it all away.

00:44I love what you're doing here.

00:46It's really important.

00:47You don't see many people taking this time and dedication to planting native.

00:50And you know everything, too.

00:52I can tell you love it.

00:53It's my hobby and my therapy.

00:56Yeah, thank you so much for showing us around your garden.

00:58Amazing work.

00:59Decades of planting and tending to it.

01:02And thank you all for doing what you do because it brings all these things to people's minds.

01:07After a week of hard work, a little slice of native pine rockland habitat emerges from Miami's manicured streets.

01:15So one thing about the forest is like you see tiny little specimens of so many species.

01:19Like in an area that big, you could have like 75 species or something.

01:22Yeah, that's crazy.

01:23So you kind of emulate that in the garden.

01:24Yeah, this is so packed.

01:26It is like having gone out to the Everglades to see how dense it is.

01:29This is that same density.

01:31I know these plants are on the small side now, but give it some time.

01:35Besides, it's better to plant more smaller trees than a few spaced out big ones.

01:39Because when clusters of saplings have to compete, they grow faster and develop stronger root systems.

01:45I love it.

01:46This is going to be really good.

01:47Let's see.

01:48I hope you'll send me pictures in six months.

01:49Yeah, for sure.

01:50I mean, I'm really happy with how it came out.

01:51And six months from now, it will just be a blaze of color.
