You are just talented and have great vision. Beautiful gardening.
I always love hearing gardeners future plans. You guys take it a step further with detailed plant materials and combinations. Excited to see things materialize!!! Can't wait for spring🤩🤩🌲🌳🍃
This was great guys! Can't wait to see it all come together! Lots of great ideas! 🪴🌻🌳🌷🌱🦋🌾
Omggggg, I’m 3 min in and I can’t believe it! Scared yet excited! I can’t wait! Good luck guys xo
Oh the deer will love your new water feature….lol….love you guys, I am loving your new garden…cant wait to see it come out of the ground!! Love love love your channel. Still wish we were neighbors.. Cheers!
Don't forget lots and lots of spring, summer and fall bulbs
Good to see you two and also, can’t wait to see this new garden come to life.
Picea orientalis Firefly is by far one of the my most favorite recent intros from Iseli. Great color and can be tucked into the border because it grows so slowly. BTW We decided to go with the hybrid Korean maple Alpenglow – can’t wait for it to land here in the late spring Zone 6 New England
Hello, from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5b & talk about cold ❄-22 night we had 😮 Sick of winter & love the design.
l love the snow!!!! So great to see you both. l love everything you have planned for your garden. The water feature? you may want to consider mosquitos, they will not lay their eggs in running water. The reflection pondrá may be a magnet for those annoying little creatures😂😂😂 then again l really don't know what your mosquito situation may be! ❤❤
Oooh, I love the texture of the sawara cypresses! I look forward to seeing the Blue Moon.
This is so exciting. Can’t wait to go along for the ride. 🌲 🌳 🌹 🌱
I vote for a water fountain ⛲️.
I'm ridiculously excited about this project. 😄
Yes, Yes put boulder and water in around evergreens. Moving water does not have mosquitoes. Only stagnet water which you can put pucks in to kill larvae. But yes big boulders.
Thanks for sharing all your upcoming plans. I was pleased to see your limelight hedge go, it was beautiful, but agree that it didn’t fit with all the other layers you had in your garden, which is beautiful.
🌟Looking forward to this new season and seeing your vision unfold. Bright spot in turbulent times.
Oh how I have missed y'all! Certainly one of my favorite gardening channel, I just love how you two work with and interact with each other. About that Norway spruce, I pre-ordered one! So you can come mesmerize at mine in a few years lol.
I love your videos. I would love sometime to see the cover on the sitting area around/above your firepit. Have you made a video and I missed it? Share any info you have would be appreciated. I can hardly wait for you two to start planting.
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. I'll tell you that in my experience a pond is high maintenance and it attracts wild life – raccoons, skunks, possums – if your area is inclined to have critters, think twice. Now boulders – whew – a few of them would be breath-taking. or even a few giant cement pots. They add such year-round interest. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be beautiful. I can't wait to see it come together.
Sounds exciting. Can’t wait to see it in progress!
Loving the backdrop in your office…wow beautiful staging on those shelves! 😍
Good to see you both looking so well. Excited to see your new garden area come together. I love the sound of water in the garden and have had several types of fountains and waterfalls. Since you already have fountains, I would suggest going with a waterfall. You might also consider going with one with a reservoir rather than pondless, which I’ve found produces a better sound. The sound can be heard from a greater distance and also provide a sound barrier and privacy to your garden (minimizes sound coming in and going out:) Would not recommend a reflection pond. As a human mosquito magnet, I’ve found moving water to be more of a deterrent.
I currently have a waterfall that has a reservoir (hole dug with pond liner covered and surrounded in rock) in which the water recirculates from. There is a river rock bed that flows from it, but only serves the function of draining the water away with a heavy rain. It does not capture the water at the end of the stream and recirculate that way. Doing it this way was less complicated and less expensive but still beautiful.
Also love the idea of boulders around your waterfall. You can also dot a few in the surrounding area to give it a more natural look. Whatever you do, I’m sure it will be beautiful as is everything you have done so far.
Thank you so much for sharing your design process! Incredibly helpful! I’ve already watched this video several times. So many helpful tips. Can’t wait to see the final design!
Hi just found you guys. I’m in Plattsburgh NY on Lake Champlain. Where are you located in upstate NY? I’ve always wanted a Japanese maple and the one you described in this video sounds perfect for me. My zone is 5a. Look forward to seeing your new garden this year.
So exciting. All for new hydrangea varieties!
I have to know what you’re going to do the limelight’s. Can you tuck them into the back berm?
Very exciting. Will be fun to follow along!
I wish I had more time. It’s already 80° here. I’m also planning my garden out and I’m loving seeing how you guys plan things. Helps me out a lot.
Paperbark maples are beautiful and deer resistant, I think your yard needs one or three 😁
Eric, for the reflecting pool, see The Impatient Gardener channel. Erin has one. Can’t wait to see you guys create your new garden bed💚💚💚
