    This may sound odd, but i like the way he slaps his plants around, most gardeners are so delicate with them your almost afraid to touch them let alone grow them. AND ,he is probably the most knowledgeable gardener i,ve watched.

    I loved the gardener. I was simply attracted to his enthusiasm, his quirkiness, and his knowledge. I so enjoyed this video. I need some shade plants and am grateful I found this video.

    That Hot Chocolate hydrangea is STUNNING!!! Perfect place for it but I hope it doesn’t get lost as the front plants get bigger. Absolutely gorgeous 🌿🌟🌿

    Another brill video. I moved my spotted laurel because it was growing over some other things and the place it ended up was shadier yet it surprised me by growing even better, it's covered in small flowers this Spring so I'm expected a few berries later.

  • @eleanorbyrne8805

    Thank you, I enjoyed this video very much, I have a shady area in my front garden about 30 feet long , it is north facing and am going to incorporate some of the plants you have mentioned here in this video. It is sheltered by my neighbors planting which is causing the shade really but you have to work with what you've got. I have only just developed a love of gardening. Someone told me gardening was cheaper than therapy and they were so right. I get so much enjoyment from my garden. A work in progress and I am learning as I'm going. I love the feel of the soil and totally understand your enthusiasm, it is totally addictive. Only just found you and am binge watching your videos.

    Dear John, I am so amazed by your work, the simple, pleasant, very informative way to bring a beginner gardener like me up to speed. I learned so much in just a few moments. I wonder if you could maybe share some advice for my tiny roof garden, facing west, but catching some sunlight from early afternoons. Wind is my big problem for now. I deeply admire your secret garden. It shows your kindness, good heart and stunning knowledge of growing.

    Thank you so much - this is exactly what I was looking for as I have so much shade in my garden and I’ve been fighting it rather than embracing - I’m going to search out Fatsia Japonica, the anemone, hydrangea, rodgersia and the bamboo. Love your style too!

    I love your videos so much, John Lord.
    Many of the plants you show are unfamiliar to me. Now...I only really know what I've happened to grow myself, but I'm also wondering if a good number of your plants need a more temperate climate like you have in Ireland than what I have in The US in Connecticut? I'm in zone 7A.

    Beautiful gardens and thanks for sharing your bountiful knowledge. I really enjoyed this video. Gorgeous ninebark. However, two points: (1). It is daring to plant bamboo in the garden as it is one of the most invasive species out there. You may live to regret it. (2). Why no hostas nor ferns. When I think of shade, these come to mind immediately but you have neither. There must be a reason. Thx!
