  • Join me for a tour of the garden the day of the rehearsal party here at the house and the day before my son's wedding (at another location}.
    Garden is loacated close to Toronto Canada and is Zone 5 or 6a/b using USDA and Canadian hardiness zones.
    You will see how abundant the Proven Winner Vista Supertunias are in the garden on August 30, 2019. The colours are amazing and we had just enough rain in the week to make everything look vibrant and lush.
    Enjoy the tour. And the wedding was perfect in everyway possible.

      Wonderful Yannie. Living close to Toronto, you know each year has been different than the last - too much water - not enough water. Windy. Too hot. Too cool. I was worried with the long cold spring we had, if the plants would ever grow. Such a great summer this year. Happy gardening.

    • @JoAnnBlondin
      @JoAnnBlondin  Před 5 lety

      Thanks Carolina. San Diego is a great place to have a garden. Start small so you know what works in your area. Suggest you start with pots as you can get good soil and your local garden store can suggest a few plants that grow well in your area. Best wishes for your dream garden.

      Thank you Barbara. I was calm then but I can assure you I did shout a few orders - but I had a detailed list of what needed to be done and when. I only had to should when guests were close to arriving and the drinks were not on ice yet! Once that was done, it was a great weekend filled with love and special moments. Thanks for taking the tour.

Wedding and events should make everyone feel included and loved.

      Thanks Jennifer for the kind comments. I bought the obelisks at various stores - Winners, Homesense, Canadian Tire, and others - when I see them I buy them. Some of them are 18 years old. I spray painted them all black last year and that was the best decision every so they look planned and part of the overall structure design instead of a mishmash of obelisks.

    I would love to know how many plants you planted in each big planters, as I just don't know how many to plant so I get the same lush effect. Even just an estimate on the balcony planters would be really helpful. (I live in Australia and am just about to start planting up my pots). You have the most beautiful garden I've ever seen!

    • @JoAnnBlondin
      @JoAnnBlondin  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks Bella. For the brown pots on the upper deck, I did 3 Vista supertunia and one mandevilla. For the ones on the back deck I did 4 Vista supertunia and one mandeville because they would be viewed on all sides. Mandevilla was in the centre. I'll cover that off in the September video. So excited for you to be planting now. Happy gardening.

      I paid in Canadian dollars about $15 per mandevilla and $5 per Vista Supertunia. So about $30 per pot. And they are still doing amazing 4 months later.

      HI Ruby. The stone pavers were put in 1998 so I no longer have the details on them. They were from Unilock. I looked on their website and didn't see them as an option. Most people now use square or rectangular designs but you can have them install a circle. Also, try googling "pink stone pavers patio circles". I saw some on the Home Depot site when I tried that search.
