In my opinion, good Garden Design is all in the details. And in must-follow garden design principles… if you are wanting to put your garden over the top.

My number 1 garden rule is to “not marry my plants.” If they fail to perform as expected or they do not give me joy, out they come!

@lindagallinatti3983 Жыл бұрын

I agree.....I become “Radical” if the plants don’t cooperate or I don’t like them.

@denisewade6439 Жыл бұрын

I do the same thing! For 2 years I nursed a beautiful yellow bare root rose and it wasn’t blooming much. So when I pruned her in January I told her that if she didn’t perform that year she was outta there! So I kid you not, that spring she was glorious! Talk to your plants even if it’s a reprimand! 😂😂😂

I live in a heavily forested area in the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of my key garden design principles is restraint. I don’t want to introduce lots of plants that are out of context in this setting. A big go-to for me is salvias. Pollinators love it but deer don’t eat it. I do my annuals up on our deck.

I garden in Ontario Canada zone 5b and the principles I find most helpful when designing my garden is ‘right plant, right place’, repetition, succession planting, selecting a colour palette and having it flow throughout the garden beds, negative space to provide moments of rest, hardscaping that works well with the style of my home, clean and defined edges and using vertical space for climbers. I really like adding clematis for added interest and structures (trellis). I’ve learned so many of these principles from you and other talented garden designers. 💚

So refreshing to listen to someone tell us about garden hygiene, manicuring, tidying, neatness.... in the UK all we hear about is leaving your grass unmown is good for pollinators! It looks incredibly messy, overgrown, unkempt and the weeds (some call them wildflowers) self sow in your veg patch, block paving, flower borders and become an absolute nuisance. Even Monty Don said he stopped keeping a 'meadow' garden because the seed drift was invasive in the rest of his garden. I love what you've done Linda! A neatly kept garden shows care and pride.

I'm gardening in zone 4a in the Adirondacks (sometimes zone 3). I have learned that shrubs and small trees are the backbone of my garden. I love seeing all the "volunteers" that pop up between the pavers that are set in stone dust, like columbine, spirea, creeping thyme and gloriosa daisies. I have multiple teardrop shaped gardens around a 12x12 pergola which is covered in wild grapevine and various clematis. The pergola overlooks a swimming pool that I had filled in. Now there are lilacs, roses, peonies, hydrangeas and lilies, my favorites. Goat's beard- I started with 3 and now there are maybe a dozen-but I love them. They are easy to pull up if unwanted. I also depend on hostas, ferns and astilbe to return after a hard winter. I want to "look up" in my garden and I planted Mme Julia Correvon Clematis to scramble up my Honey Locust tree outside my kitchen window. In July the tree is covered in deep red/pink blossoms. I'm in my early 70's and in addition to my dog Poppy and my family, my garden brings me great joy. My advice would be to go with what will thrive where you are and to design to bring the eye up!😊

I garden in 6b, where ajuga tends to be aggressive, at least on my property. It's pretty, but left to its own devices, it'll creep in everywhere. My gardening lesson is to plant what likes to grow in your garden and focus on repetitions of those plants.

My #1 garden rule when planting perennials is to use mostly evergreen types. This way the garden looks good all year. I'm in zone 8a, SC. My 2nd rule is to replace my pots that have finished flowering with those in flower (peonies get replaced by dahlias). The finished pots get put along a yet unplanted bed since the foliage still is pretty.

Linda, thank you for bringing our attention to the beauty of multi-stemmed small trees. It really is another form of topiary for its manicured look but allows light and form to shine through the foliage. To me, texture, shape and color contrast of foliage is even more interesting than flowers. It's got class and is achievable sophistication for our gardens.

Hi Linda and Stewart! I like to experiment with new and different varieties ; if I see one has made it I will buy another but I like variety in the garden bc I want to see color all the time. I like to buy different varieties of the same plant and mix them up. I’m not an organized gardener. I grow what I like and what survives. It’s the same with containers. I buy what I like and not much matches. It goes together but not matching. Just not into it bc there is so much I like. I have used your tips to reveal more lower branches bc it allows more plants below the shrub. That’s a good one! Just hung some multi colored lights outside to create an eclectic look on the patio! It’s very cheerful at night ! Except for the mosquitos! Love the garden in front and Stewart is a very flattering videographer ! You always look great Linda! ❤️🥰7a New York

I planted 3 brunnera and I now have over 200. I love them and now have enough to share. Ajuga is spreading nicely but not over aggressive yet. I'm zone 6b in Missouri. My #1 garden rule is to not stress over weeds. It's been a struggle for me to adopt this rule but I'm so glad I did. Violets are a thug here and I used to stress terribly about them. I have a young boy that comes and pulls them for me now. I am so happy to see his face when he gets paid at the end of the morning.

Hardscape, a mix of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. I like ajuga but have had the same problem with it just disappearing. A clump has established in a wet shady area but not invasive. Black eyed susan, japanese aneomes and rose of sharon can get aggressive and need to be regularly controlled. Astillbe, ferns, carex and mosses perform beautifully in large parts of my back garden that is shady and moist. Creeping jenny spreads but performs more as a living mulch.

Allium triquetrum, or 3 cornered leek, is my most invasive plant! It will literally take over any part of the garden, from deep shade to full sun. I love ajuga, one of those plant anywhere plants. It does die back in the summer, but there's always a patch left somewhere that I can steal a piece from to replant elsewhere. My design tip- if you see a plant that's self seeded and you can't identify it, leave it to see what it may be. This year I've managed to aquire an allium purple sensation, two allium christophii and some cornflowers that I've never planted but have been welcomed in my garden 😊.
