Loved all of those videos. Great tips from all of them. My best tip is to work with Mother Nature not against her. Using what works where you are located as several of them said.
Really enjoyed the video. Ideas were interesting and practical – I like βwork with what you have.β I spent years trying to grow rhododendrons and azaleas in central Illinois where neither the soil ph nor the weather ie hardiness were appropriate. What a waste of effort ! So my advice is – donβt do that. Work with what you have is a more positive approach as it focuses you on what you do have.
Often we are trying to hide other people's ugly sheds or weird structures that we see from our propertty.
Thank you Alexandra for video. I am currently trying to start a few perennials and herbs inside for the winter. Watering is a bit tricky but so far so good
Thank you so much for another great video. I know already that I will be rewatching several times. One of my main concerns in my garden is trying to figure out the sun patterns in the same border. I figured out the area that is mostly shady, but the areas that are part sunny are giving me a run for my money.

Great video!
Another good show. Lots of great ideas.
Thank you Alexandra for this great video. It is very well edited so it is very informative and cohesive at the same time. Have a great winter!
My favourite is the prairie planting, I remember seeing it the first time around, so inspiring. π
