So glad to hear from someone that is from the north west that can give advice on plants do well in my area. Instead of from people that are in completely different zones. Im in zone 5 . The question I have is, " what are some good plants that are deer resistant, drought and sun tolerant and also good with pine trees/ evergreens and their needles. Cedars, first ect.? Because that creates a more acid soil too
Your plants are beautiful and your ideas are great. I am interested in your advanced class because I understand your directions the first time in your speech, however for those that are new to gardening they may need to hear your instructions four times. So 'll be watching for your tutorials for the more experienced gardeners. Thank you.
I just recently discovered your channel. I live northwest of Olympia, WA on the Steamboat Peninsula down near the Sound and I recently fenced off part of my property (3/4 of an acre). I'm hoping this will help keep the deer out (fingers crossed). I think I'd like to try some Azaleas over there near my rhodies. Thank you, so much, for all of your practical advice on garden design. I absolutely love the plants you featured in this video.
I love the way you mix colors, textures, and heights. What an eye!!! If you ever need extra income, you might consider doing photo prints or paintings of your garden and selling online.
Loved hearing about these plants and seeing them! Moving to a old house where there is nothing planted and don't know where to begin....in central Illinois.
I know this is comment of yours is 4 months old already, but I'm a bit of a landscaping enthusiast... (assuming you still aren't sure where to begin) the first thing you want to do is figure out what kind of an exposure you have. Is it sunny? shady? dry? damp? windy? sheltered? Try to decide what you want to get out of your yard, do you want a space for entertaining? high maintenance? low maintenance? a lawn? Maybe some space for nature? Once you've determined what kind of space you have and what you want to get out of it, that's when you start researching plants. Look up native plants in your area, see if there's any that really stand out to you. Native plants are almost always a sure thing when you want something that will thrive and fill up your space. Non-natives can work too, just make sure they can stand up to your conditions. When you finally get down to planting, you want to plant the long-term investments first. Think trees, screening plants, big shrubs. Getting those in the ground ASAP is most important. I hope this was helpful. Good luck with your new yard :)
I screened off neighbors immediately with switchgrass northwind. This is my 1st year, I just potted them, I hope they come back next year. I live in an apartment and the plants are giving me instant gratification.
I just discovered your channel. Gee, I just hate binge watching. LOL Love all the information you provide. Will be watching all your videos and I know I will be prepared for the Spring. Thank you Debbie
Love your choices. The golden euonymus is stunning. Wish i knew exactly which one, but i hope to find it. The periwinkle rhodie and the euonymus would be perfect in a dark corner, so i will definitely be on the lookout for those. And, i also love the variegated rhodie! That will be perfect for a wall that has been empty for years! The golden arborvitae is also great. And, i already have that exact phormium, lol. I was thinking you might be in my general vicinity (Kitsap peninsula), but maybe not because we dont get much snow. Either way, i am loving your videos and i hope you will make more, and longer ones, not just showing the plants, but also site selection and the actually "doing". I lov gardening and, no matter whether I akready know the info, i enjoy watching the process, so more detail and longer, please. :)
Nice video. If I needed to paint the house and the arborvitae was in the way I would wind some twine around the whole bush several times and make it look like a roast and it’ll be out of the way!
Very informative, thank you. Here in Pennsylvania, as in many other states, we have deer problems. I'd love it if you could include information regarding deer resistance when you are recommending plants.
I’ve found a slow growing tree that is very nice for screen and wind screen, as well as beautiful shape and color is a blue-tip Juniper. Another nice tree about 25 feet is Blue Arrow Juniper. Deer leave these alone. Deer also do not bother Rosemary (creeping or crawling Rosemary grow huge and are a great foundation); Blue Fescue (Round tufted grass), Dwarf Mugo Pine, Gaura (whirling butterflies), Japanese Bayberry, Coreopsis, Potentilla (Cinquefoil), Euphorbia, Bluestar Juniper (small round tufted bush), Coneflowers, Dwarf Russian Sage (2-4 feet tall), all sorts of DayLillies, Salvia (sage), Scabiosa (Pincushion plant) Agapanthus (Lilly of the Nile), Penstamon, Delphinium, Peonies, Helleborus (Lenten Rose)💖, and Lydia Broom, a drought resistant, compact relative of scotch broom. Cotoneaster does well too as does Spirea, and Low-Grow Sumac bush, and Oregon Grape bush, and Nandina domestica (Heavenly Bamboo), but I net them the first year. Fawns will often taste anything. And any very small seedling or young plant may suffer when it is new to the garden because deer sample everything new. That is how they discover their menu! 😄 Plus pregnant does will turn to most anything during lean times of year. The plants I’ve listed are the plants I don’t worry about now that they have been through several seasons and the deer don’t damage. Other trees and bushes I have to fence for 3 to 5 years until they are bigger. Then I remove the fences. The deer ALWAYS damage arborvitae (Thuja) trees. So I am thinking of removing those or maybe leaving for 10 years to see if they will get hardy enough that the deer are no longer drawn to their soft evergreen foliage. I also have three young Nellie Stevens Holly trees that are fenced for a few more years, because to my surprise, the deer find the young leaves a tender, though prickley, treat. I expect to remove the fences after about 3-4 seasons when the trees should be tougher. I also have a Hibiscus fenced for a few more years. I live in a high desert area, Zone 7a or 8 depending which reference book I consult. The first frost is usually in October, and last frost in May. I can grow dogwood trees (but they may need covering during strong winds.) I have a lot of pines and sequoias. Boxwood plants do fair and better as they toughen up; net them for a few seasons if they are small. Good luck! Stay with it; it gets better as your plants mature. Oh, one last thing: You can order burnet seed, a plant you can use as salad garnish, and plant it in areas away from your main garden. The deer love it for the tender, cucumber flavored leaves. You and the deer can benefit! But plant it far enough away that it dies not draw them to your garden but away from your garden. It is drought resistant, and has deep roots, and spreads easily. It is good for erosion control, but can become invasive in your garden.P.S. How could I forget beautiful lavender? Deer are not interested! 🤣
What is that bright green Bush in the background to the left?? Absolutely beautiful color, need it in my garden! Wonderful video, very informative, great tips. Helped me immensely!
Correction: If you prune a rhododendron before it’s done blooming you don’t lose next year’s bloom. You’ll only lose next year’s bloom if you wait too long after this year’s flowers fake.
Wow, it's April 2020 and I just found your channel lol! What time of year do you feed your Rhodies and azaleas? I'm in zone 9. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and love of gardening. ❤️
As always spot on info. but is 6 months out to where I live, does not matter cold now but spring will come and than 30o. so where is that? You will not guess it, try?
What was the name of the last spiky plant. I thought you said it was a flax but I couldn't understand. I played it a few times but I still couldn't understand what you said. Is there anyway at the end of your videos in the description you could type which plants you have in the video
You mentioned that the evergreen could be used as a screen. We'd like to screen the whole west side of our property for privacy reasons. We know what we can do in the mostly sunny areas, but there is a 10-15 area that is mostly under the umbrella of two large maple trees. Is there a fast-growing evergreen, shrub or bush that doesn't require sun? Thanks in advance.
We have zones in the U.S. based on temps. and plant hardiness. For example plants with a hardiness zone of 5 will not die unless it gets below 0 degrees. Hope that helps. I live in zone 8 so our temps rarely get below 10 degrees F.
I barely made it through the 57 seconds of into b-roll. Dang. Love your plant picks, great info, but please shorten that intro! Put some of it at the end of the video instead.
Please do more videos, your videos are very interesting. Would love to see your garden too, thank you

Thank you so much for explaining in detail about each plant their names their size you have no idea how much that truly truly helps thank you
You are such an inspiration.. Very much zen I never get tired listening to you!
I've been looking for these ideas, l'll take this to my favorite nursery in Ottery, l want all these plants. Thank you so much🙂
Thank you, this has been so very helpful to someone like me who doesn’t know what they’re doing. I can’t wait to get started!!!
You know so much about plants, and I love have you explain it everything thank you

What a great video this was. I’m glad I decided to watch
Excellent explanations and description! Timing me to find you is perfect...need to screen off neighbor🤗
I screened off neighbors immediately with switchgrass northwind. This is my 1st year, I just potted them, I hope they come back next year. I live in an apartment and the plants are giving me instant gratification.
Fabulous garden....luv'd those blooms...my favorite month of the year...when blooms are starting...weather in the NW are so beautiful in spring....
Thanks for informing about plants
Nice selection! Thanks for posting!

That Blaney’s blue Rhododendron is gorgeous . I just wish that there were encore Rhodies like they are Encore Azaleas .
Nice video. If I needed to paint the house and the arborvitae was in the way I would wind some twine around the whole bush several times and make it look like a roast and it’ll be out of the way!
I'm doing the blank slate foundation plantings now and it's an overwhelming task.
Lovely lady. Great information. Enjoyed it greatly. Greetings from Turkey. Thank you.

@@GardenStylenw Thanks a lot!
Hi! Sorry to bother, but can you direct me were to buy the blaming blue Rhoda dendrum.

As always spot on info. but is 6 months out to where I live, does not matter cold now but spring will come and than 30o. so where is that? You will not guess it, try?

I know you live in the northwest but could you please tell me what zone you are in so i can relate it to my garden. Thanks
I'm in zone 8. :)
What was the name of the last spiky plant. I thought you said it was a flax but I couldn't understand. I played it a few times but I still couldn't understand what you said. Is there anyway at the end of your videos in the description you could type which plants you have in the video
It's Flax or Phormium is the botanical name. :)
did you work for Iseli.
What do the dear not eat
What is the name of that flax? I couldn't catch it
Do the arbor vital good for zone 9? I need the privacy.
You mentioned that the evergreen could be used as a screen. We'd like to screen the whole west side of our property for privacy reasons. We know what we can do in the mostly sunny areas, but there is a 10-15 area that is mostly under the umbrella of two large maple trees. Is there a fast-growing evergreen, shrub or bush that doesn't require sun? Thanks in advance.
Not fast but a hicks or hills yew would work
What does the term stallworth of the garden mean
What’s the plant in the back left?

Is rhododendron bee friendly?
Am I the only one hearing some snoring- maybe a family pet? Lol
Yes. She has a cat.
It’s kinda cute💕
Beautiful garden! How do you amend your soil for your azaleas and rhododendrons?
Evelyn Castro-Lake Not much to amend just organic compost.

ANY DEER RESISTANT ?????????????????????????
Want ones that the bloom lasts all summer long
What is the name of the variegated Rhodie?
Rhododendron Ponticum Variegatum
What zone are they?
Can you explain to me this zone thing I'm uk
We have zones in the U.S. based on temps. and plant hardiness. For example plants with a hardiness zone of 5 will not die unless it gets below 0 degrees. Hope that helps. I live in zone 8 so our temps rarely get below 10 degrees F.
Don’t buy arborvitae if you have deer.
Can we be gardening friends?
Oi parabéns.jardem.e muito .VC fala .eu auditivos .para VC beij😇
Hardy? What Zone ??
Truth Finder frost hardy, probably upto zone 3
I barely made it through the 57 seconds of into b-roll. Dang. Love your plant picks, great info, but please shorten that intro! Put some of it at the end of the video instead.
