What a champ Jane Moore is! And you, Alexandra are the tops in formulating questions. It was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS hearing you two discuss in length such nifty ideas and info, all to the background of her gorgeous garden. Thank you!
Love that theory.
Thank you Alexandra for this great video…so beautiful to see. I love the knocked over tree that is still alive. Saw this video too late and spent hours outside today trimming some brown stalks and fixing the edging on flower and shrub beds. I moved a few things too and got some things ready for the winter. Noticed yesterday that deer have ruined a few of our small trees so we have to get some tree wraps before they are totally ruined. Thank for the time spent making this video for us ❤️
Lovely garden, great video very informative. Thank you Alexandra.
I just cannot get into modern sculpture there is only the very odd piece I like. But love fallen tree sculpture.
4:35 this is cosmos, not calendula
I've watched this video at least three times and will watch it again, I'm sure. There's just so much to take in from the shots of Jane's garden. She's done a phenomenal job. Thank you for sharing it and capturing it on film so beautifully!
Really enjoyed that tour along with all the ideas and info. Thanks Alexandra and Jane
Another great video!
The fallen mulberry tree is interesting to me. I had an old redbud tree fall over & it's still growing. I had planned to clear it out this winter but the mulberry has given me food for thought. If you have an opportunity to mention fallen trees in a video I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
Are there any perennials that need to be cut back in autumn to avoid fungus or disease? I have heard that's true for Hostas. I like the idea of being wildlife-friendly over winter; just want to make sure a minimal cut-back won't result in a problem come spring. Very helpful interview, as always!
How exciting that Ms. Moore has 3 acres to create such lovely gardens in! I particularly liked how she used fallen trees – the shapes truly are works of art. Please convey how much we all love her work.
Verbena bonariensis was the cause of a horrible powdery mildew problem all over my garden, which I never had before until I planted that. I have finally got control of it by spraying everything with diluted yogurt, but I'd be very careful about planting it or recommending it. Please make sure it's a good plant for your climate.
Wonderful advice, thank you!
What a wonderful video. I loved seeing this garden and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation between you. The fallen trees were fantastic for their organic sculpture, as well as the wildlife habitat.
Hi, I was wondering if you’d be open to a collab… I have a video that I think your audience would love to watch…here’s my videos in case you want to check it out. #zetteanacleto
I know I've said this so many times already, but I can't help repeating: Your videos are incredibly well conceived and executed. It's amazing. And, as another commenter said, you ask the best questions. Also, ahem, you seem to have ins with a lot of amazing gardeners.
Oh I love her philosophy – particularly plants that die well and have a beautiful death!! So poetic and vaguely Keatsian!
Thank you for posting these peaceful conversations.
Lovely interview with two Lovely Ladies in an absolutely Lovely garden! Thank you! This really brightened my day!
Always enjoy good fall gardening videos!🌿🌵 Happy Planting! Subscribed!🌱
What a great video! The gardens in the fall are still lovey. Would love to see a detailed three part series of the gardens in the summer. I’m sure they are absolutely fabulous! Great tips.
I can watch this film over and over again and ill surely share all of these to all my friends thank you👍

I love how the fallen trees are so sculptural, and Jane Moores liking for plants that die well, gorgeous garden. Thank you
Usually when I go out to perform some task I spend some time cutting things back. This goes on all season as during summer it is deadheading, now it progresses to cutting away dead parts of plants. I always thought of it as procrastination but now I know it is a noble activity😉. I save some seeds from my yard but also I’ve picked up some milkweed from an vacant lot and Liatris from in front of a hospital where my Mom was having surgery and my brother and I were just walking around waiting. Plus some kind of Penstemon wildflower and asters from the lot next door before construction began. The do nothing stuff is my way of life LOL.
Collecting seeds for things that go to seed late in the season is a good idea. But if it's a fruit or vegetable that has seeds in the fruit, I collect the seeds from the first ones picked. If I don't, I'll end up eating all the fruit having forgotten about saving the seeds.
Runner beans could be heritage scarlet runners, they love being home seed collected. Collecting seeds always was done way back in Aus, rural women with masses of annuals could not possibly afford to buy seed packets each year. Love the fallen trees, exactly for wildlife, shelter for fungi, shelter from wind and softening. Love the input from the Bath Hotel gardener with her big garden and love of nature. Thank you Alexandria.
Alexandra, thank you again for these marvelous videos. This one was especially helpful to me. Take care from Vancouver, WA USA
Stipa tenuissima is very INVASIVE in Australia, and California Sfipa tenuissima, also known as Mexican feathergrass or Nassella tenuissima, out-competes native plants for space and resources, causing harm — and is often difficult to remove or control.With its 1000 of seeds, It forms dense stands that thrive in dry areas, increasing the fire hazard. Fire simply enhances seeding and does not get rid of the plant.Still LOVE your channel thou !Right plant right place
Beautiful garden and advice in general, just the Mexican feather grass Stipa tenuissima is an example of a grass that is native to one part of the U.S. but invasive in another
What a great interview, so helpful and entertaining, thank you both
A gardener after my green heart. Hope I can visit in spring. Absolutely beautiful garden.
