Please check out my web site for lots of garden inspiration. My “Amazon Garden Shop” links to many of the plants, garden gear, and and stone pieces I use in the garden.

Hi there! I live in Southern NJ and I just wanted to introduce everyone to some planting options for a smaller property, that also contains a large play area for children. I love English style cottage gardens. I’m a huge fan of the wonderful Garden Answer YouTube videos. I have been applying what I learn from them into tighter working space in a completely different climate. We get tons of rain and extreme humidity. I hope this will inspire people to go for it, even if you have space restrictions as we do. As you see I use mostly Proven Winners plants. I have absolute success with them and I completely believe that their name speaks for itself. They did not pay for this or even request me to make this video. I just wanted to share the love!

  1. Such a beautiful and quaint garden. Thanks for sharing. I love how you mix it up with lanterns and garden decor! Would be awesome if you can pause just a bit longer on the plant tags so we can see the name without pausing the vid!

  2. Love seeing the front yard after just seeing the back! My, you have worked really hard! You're an outstanding student of Laura's pointers. It's an outstanding garden, surely worthy of showing us 'real' examples of success. I do wonder how far south you are as I grew up in S Jersey & still have my original house there. If you'd be OK with a PM, we could share our town's names. Loved the videos.

  3. So amazing. Beautiful garden. Beautiful house. You have such flair and everything is so neat. Love it.

  4. Your home is restful and bright. Lovely and welcoming garden. The little rabbit is precious. I’m on the lookout for one. 😉

  5. House is beautiful, as is the garden. Narration would have been really great. A bit more pause on the plant tags would help.

  6. Would’ve loved your voice because I cannot read the tags of the plants.

  7. Can’t read the plant tags, so very frustrating … Everything looks beautiful … just no info to help us learn what is what .

  8. Beautiful, beautiful gardens, and so well manicured. Yes, please move the camera more slowly, especially when showing the plant tags. Thank you for your videos and how much enjoyment they provide.

  9. Wow, all is sooooo pretty. Very inspiring — I keep re-watching the video, please do more!!! 🙂

  10. By Far, my most Favorite Front Garden, I've seen! It's all so Clean & Orderly! Excellent!😍😘

  11. Lovely home and gardens! What a great idea to show the plant tags, just wish I could read them.

  12. You need to show the tags longer. By the time you got close enough for us the read it, you moved away.
