This man has "IT" when it comes to designing a garden! These aren't even my personal favorite kinds of plants, but the way he has his garden put together is absolutely stunning! You have some friends that have some great spaces.

Gorgeous!!!!! I wonder about how people water in large landscape and how they handle with deer/rabbits especially lives close to the woody area. I created too much of the gardens and now it is overwhelming to do hand watering and it seems to be too large to do for 1/4” drip irrigation system. Thank you very much.

@jaysifford9419 Жыл бұрын

I'm fortunate in that we receive enough rain here and have fairly cool summer temperatures so I do not have to water most things. In fact, most of these plants have never been watered by me in four years. I don't have a rabbit issue, I suppose because of the number of hawks. For deer repellent, I use a peppermint oil based product called Deer Out.

Something about Orange Rocket barberry draws my eye every time I see them. I saw these in the original drone video and thought "What are those!?!?!" I wasn't sure if they were Orange Rocket or a different/newer version that is more red. These garden tours are so enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Perfect timing. For the first time in years I woke up early to hear the birds sing and to my dismay there is no longer the echo of various species because a third of the woods behind me are gone due to mismanagement. Your video gave me ideas on how to upgrade my neck of these woods to provide food, nesting and protection and instead of drainage pipes planting those wet and boggy areas for the amphibians and pollinators. Thanks Jim for an inspiring video!

So enjoyable! Great gardeners have killed a lot of plants - that's wisdom. It's all trial and error, and a very humbling vocation/avocation. Which is what makes gardening such an important aspect of mental health for everyone who gets dirt under their fingernails. Jim, your enthusiasm was palpable.

This garden is an absolute dream! “Stylized meadow” is my favorite style. But I don’t think I’ve seen it done with so many conifers and I absolutely love it. I live in SW Washington in 8a and many conifers do extremely well here. I’m going to be adding more to my design. This is a very inspiring tour. Thank you 🙏🏻

OH MY GOODNESS, my dream come true. I have been drooling over your garden ever since the Fine Gardening article was featured. Your garden, and a few others from Roy Diblik, have been my inspiration for a stylized meadow for my own new 2.5 acre property in Central VA. We actually put the fire pit down a curvy path and are building the garden beds around it like you have. I put mountain mint, amsonia and grasses along the edges so I could enjoy nature up close. This will be a long term project as we acquire all the evergreens, grasses and natives that I want, but I am truly grateful, Jim, for seeing and loving this garden in a video. A+ to you Jay. Thank you for the inspiration.

This is very beautiful. I know he says to plant 100s of grasses, but you don’t need to in order to have similar impact. Along a partially shaded and curved brick pathway, I planted 15 Japanese forest grass, all gold, backed by 9 Salvia black and bloom (in the sunnier spot) also staggered. In a smaller space, it has wonderful impact, continuity and movement. I also have the plants tying into other places in the garden-again, mass planted but not in the scale in this video! 💕

@jaysifford9419 Жыл бұрын

You are correct. Scaling to your space is quite important. Maybe sometime we'll do another video on small space gardening. In my city townhome, I garden in a courtyard of less than 300 square feet. And, as you so well point out, grouping more of fewer species together can be just a dramatic.
