This video is part garden tour, and part explanation of an edit we just did on the cottage garden. This is from the second week in June 2022 which is pretty much the peak of beauty for this garden! Our garden is in zone 6b Rhode Island, USA. When we built the garden initially 3 years ago, the color scheme for the cottage garden was lime green and purple.

GARDEN TOUR | August Cut Flower Garden Tour

2021 was the first season for our cut flower garden, and here's a look at how it turned out. This garden tour was filmed in mid-August 2021. We started the garden in early spring by laying cardboard down over the grass. Then we put down a few inches of leaves that had been collected the prior fall. On top of that, the beds got a few more inches of a compost/loam mixture and the pathways got a f...

The lavender phenomenal along the front walkway is blooming and smells amazing. The Stachys betony 'hummelo' is blooming. Early phlox is blooming as well as the mother of pearl poppies I threw seed down for in February. The new David Aus...

It is the middle of June. This past week was one of the pinnacles of the garden season (when the roses, peonies, catmint, and salvias are all in bloom). Some of these things have gone by now, but others are coming in their place. In the front perennial gardens, the lavender is starting to color up. My lone allium atropurporeum is blooming.

It's the first week of June here in zone 6b Rhode Island. I missed a week in my garden tours because the phone I was using to film died and it took me some time to get a new one.

It's the third week of May and it's time to plant out tender annuals here in Zone 6b Rhode Island. Night temps are in the 50s and 60s now, so I planted out all of my cut flower plugs on May 14th. Tomatoes went in a few days later, and this week the soil warmed up enough to plant all of the dahlias! In the front perennial gardens I have orange Geum and purple salvia in bloom.

A visit to a Dutch tulip farm in Rhode Island!

Did you know there are Dutch tulip fields in RHODE ISLAND?! Wicked Tulips Flower Farm is a little taste of the Netherlands right here in New England. Yesterday I brought my 3-year-old son to visit and pick some tulips (which showed I have questionable judgment). He loved it until he didn't. We went home with quite a few macerated tulips, but it was all in good fun. The RI location will be open ...

真的希望能再一次~親手種牡丹和芍~~~很漂亮
what a beautiful space for your family
I would love to see some more footage of your garden! Hope you are well :)
I have the one under this one. For an anodized aluminum and glass windowed greenhouse, the price was right. 1400 sent from France. The same kit purchased in town is 2400. Go Belgium!
Hey, can you share the link , please.
Hi there - beautiful gardens! I just bought an Exaco Victorian greenhouse - similar to yours. Have you had any issues with a brick foundation rather than poured concrete? I’m also in RI - South County. We are trying to decide between concrete and Uniloc or brick pavers for our foundation. Any input would be welcome. Happy gardening!
Very beautiful!
Beautiful!!!
Glass is best poly gets brittle after a few years.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Please do more videos
Hi, My husband gifted me the Junior Vic 24 for my birthday and I’m anxiously waiting for it to arrive. I’m curious about water. Do you have a water source inside of your greenhouse and do you think it’s necessary? What about a small sink would that be useful? I’m also curious about the placements of the vent windows on the top is there a right or wrong placement for them? Thank you Jude
Could have salt from the state ....been thrown on your box wood or could of it frozen
It's Monty Don's fault that I'm addicted to beef heart tomatoes! Your greenhouse is gorgeous! I'm very envious of your delightful addition to your garden.
Right on!
Bravo I’m glad I found your video Would you mind to share your opinion now you have it for awhile
Beautiful! How "old" was your garden at this point? Did you plant all at once? Or years at a time? Did you use any services for assistance? Did you plan it all at once or in stages, or just buy what you liked when you could? Curious to know the process, investment time/money/upkeep, how long it took you to get it to look so beautiful and the journey in general. Thank you for all of the names!
I’m in Old Saybrook, CT, so glad I found your channel, I’m an addict of veggie gardening
Ohhhhhhhh my goodness. It’s absolutely divine !!!! Bouquet in every room of the house!
Btw it’s so beautiful. Congratulations, Happy Gardening! 🙌🏻
I am so getting one. It might take a little while, but I am getting one. 🙌🏻
Gorgeous! I am really inspired to make a cottage garden.
Do you know where you got those arch trellis? I can’t seem to find those
But I love the greenhouse, it’s beautiful
You got the heater on bricks but the plug still on the ground 🤔🤔🤔

Rabbits love hostas mainly when they are tender leaves but if they are really hungry the tender goes right out the window but they prefer the more tender over the thicker leaves.
What size is the greenhouse?
Beautiful gardens! 😍 I've just discovered your channel. I have the same bunny troubles. What is helping me I noticed last year is they are staying out of one of my beds that I started planting patches of oregano and cinnamon basil in. Through the season I keep cutting back and using those cutting to chop and drop around other areas. Apparently they also don't like the smell of coffee grounds so I've started saving mine scattering around my hydrangeas. Will be amazing if it works. 🤞🏻 Ok back to watching rest of video. 😁
🦔🦔🦔👍🏻💚 The garden is so beautiful. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. 🥰👍🏻👍🏻
Nice garden!
I love your garden! It’s so beautiful! What type of white echinacea is that in your garden! I have the pow wow white and they don’t get that tall.
I'm not sure, that is one of the few things that was here when we bought the property. Possibly White Swan.
I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and CZcams creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is paying off. I still have so much to learn about gardening and I appreciate your tips, tricks! I’d love to learn more about gardening from each other. Happy Harvest! 🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾
Thank you so much for a wonderful video I always love a good time video it’s beautiful looking out of your husband’s office window and seeing that beautiful tree in bloom
I love those rectangular planters in your outdoor dinning area you have herbs rosemary, oregano, & thyme in. Can you tell me where you got those? Please, & thank you.
👨🌾🌼🐝☀️🌻🍅🫑🍓🥒🐇🥕I love your garden!! It’s an inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and CZcams creator. l’m just harvesting my first fruits and veggies so exciting! I wish you a happy growing season.

Did you strawberries in your eve’s trough platers last year?
A strawberry rhubarb crisp is quite tasty
What does pruning to 2 liters mean?
2 leaders - I let the plant branch into 2 main stems and remove all other suckers/branches.
It is so pretty! Thanks for the tour! I have read his book too :)
Beautiful greenhouse! So jelly of that! I hope to put up a high tunnel version sometime in the next 2-3 years.
Thanks! We love it.
Love this thank you for the tour! This is my first year doing a cut flower garden and it was great to see yours! If you want flowers earlier in the season you might check out the book "Cool Flowers" by Lisa Mason Ziegler. It really helped me get started and I am looking forward to starting some hardy annuals this fall.
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check out that book. Next year I am planting 250 tulip bulbs in the bed that don't get planted later and I was also thinking of trying a bed of ranunculus and anemone in my greenhouse.
Thanks for the update. I really like the colors. The soft yellow roses are so nice and a great contrast with the purple. Haven’t been to Blithewold in a few years. Sounds like you found some inspiration there.
Your garden is looking great! Great textures and colors. Love the peonies.
Wow! What a beautiful transformation! Everything just flows so nicely.
I was really looking forward to seeing your garden this year as well, it's looking lovely 💚🌺
Thanks so much!
Beautiful. All of your hard work has transformed this space! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️
Thank you! It was worth it.
Beautiful video! So lovely to see your flowers in bloom. Desdemona 😍😍
