Big changes to my garden design are currently underway! All the bird cherry trees and the rose of sharon trees in the orchard are being professionally removed and a new “fence” and instant hedge will be added to the east garden. I forget to mention that we will also start work on the front garden make over this week!

Wow, those bouquets were absolutely beautiful!!! The lilies added such a pop of color. I think they worked perfectly. Thank you Grace for making an appearance. Always great to see the fur babies. Can't wait to see your new hedge along the road. Everything you've done is wonderful.
I love your garden. I have a love of hydrangeas too. Just a question if you aren’t getting rain why don’t you put a sprinkler on your grass to get it by. I live in high desert where we get little rain. We rely on a sprinkler system.
The Royal Sunset lilies I got from The Lily Garden is definitely different than yours. The petals look like they’re painted with soft orange and magenta brush strokes. If you want to give Royal Sunset another try, I would c look into The Lily Garden! I definitely recommend them!
Hi Danielle. I grow specialty cut flowers in Colorado Springs, and I wanted to let you know that a good way to know what a flower or bulb looks like before you buy is do an online search and look at images. I've found that photos from sellers don't always look like the flower, or bulb, I receive, so I use that technique in the off-season to research which varieties I truly want to grow. That royal sunset lily looks just like the photographs online, so I'm think that's what it looks like. Honestly, it is stunning and yours look so healthy! Would be lovely in a fall arrangement! Love your channel – you've become my very favorite garden channel!
Que belleza
Garden looks beautiful👍😊💜🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺
Also dry here in coastal NC. For the month of June, we have so far had .60 inch rain. Add the heat and my garden is suffering.
Your garden is just lovely
Wow those bouquets are beautiful 😍
?is the oak leaf hydrangeas used for a cut flower ?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden love all the colors 👍😊🙏❤️
Your arrangements are so beautiful!!!!
I just happened to grow 50 Royal Sunset lilies this year, and they look very different than yours. Mine are a softer sherbet kind of orange inside, and the tips lean toward a dusty rose tinted darker burgundy kind of orange. Also, the whole flower color is a softer shade, whereas yours are very "in your face with intensity". Wish I could include a photo of mine, as they are now my favorite lily, and I plan to spread them around everywhere. I'm in zone 9b and we do not get cold winters, nor snow, if that could possible make any difference in the color difference.
Do you save your lilly bulbs from year to year when you plant them in the raised beds like you did this year with the saponaria? I'm for sure going to try that next year. I grew saponaria for the first time this year and the stems are too short to use in bouquets. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I learn so much from you.
I think a pea gravel or wooden pathway with brick edging would look nice
Your flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous! I love those lilies too!
I think you should eliminate the bricks altogether in the main flower walk because they are not necessary. Just define a clean, neat border like the other borders you have. In the main flower walk I would continue the stepping stones you have. The stepping stones would also help with the grass situation because the grass is being flattened by walking on the center area of the walkway. Everything looks so nice and welcoming.
For the grass I’ve seen people put compost on it to feed it, it may be worth a try
With every new video your garden becomes more beautiful. I really love all the new changes. I’m surprised you’re having a drought year I’m in Massachusetts and we are cold and wet. Because of the cold nights 40’s -50’s my flowers are lasting longer but as soon as my peonies started to really pop we had a very hard rainstorm with pea sized hale that killed my peonies. It broke my heart. I love giving away bouquets. Thank you so much for your generosity doing all this work for us. I’m hoping you don’t have a drought year and I wish you a sweet day
I’m growing the same sweet peas from Floret and they smell heavenly! The variety is ‘Balmoral’.
Absolutely stunning! My Potomac Snapdragons are also producing long stems this year (3.5-4" tall!) even though I pinched. Once again you have given me more ideas for filler flowers. My garden is a combo of you, the Impatient Gardner, Y Garden & Flower Hill Farm, quite eclectic, always changing and evolving, and a never ending journey.
