When I moved into my old house , it was the home of a gardener. My kids were small , I was working, I didn't have much time. After nearly 20 years we moved to a very small garden space and now I am into gardening big time. When I see some of these plants you talk about I recognise them from the old garden and I see how amazing the owner b4 us was at garden design. Everything in the correct place for sun/shade, everything blooming one after the other , even winter bloomers like camelias . And this was way b4 computers, so she must have just read garden books or learnt somehow. 💚💚 She would have had so much gardening knowledge.
I just recently found your videos, and you are such a good teacher about plants and the different varieties . You have a charming, friendly demeanor and a soothing voice. I could listen to you all day! Thank you, and look forward to many more.
I appreciate that you include shade plants. I have a zone 9 shade garden and I'm always on the look out for plants I don't have that would be happy in my garden. Thank you! I'm gonna look for the Fatsia Japonica. Thank you!
I live in zone 5 and have a Saint Johns Wort which I ❤️ I have a Dappled Willow in full sun and its about 8ft tall and wide..it started to not put on the showy white and pinkish leaf growth. I trimmed it back severely, and this spring it came back with the whole bush covered with the white and pink new growth. It is July and it hasn’t changed color. Neighbors who never even noticed this large shrub are now noticing and complimenting it for the first time. Haha😂
Thank you for mentioning that fatsia japonica is not toxic to pets. Toxicity is an important fact that is not usually mentioned by most gardeners and I always have to do additional research on the ASPCA and other web sites to find that information before I will consider buying a plant. Some plants (such as nandina) are very common here in the South and they are invasive non-natives, which are also important to avoid, and the berries are toxic. I don't want to risk poisoning birds or dogs and cats. I want to attract bees and birds and butterflies, not kill them. P.S. I love your videos! They are so helpful for someone without a green thumb.
Love your videos. So informative, beautiful scenery, and great ideas. Your voice and garden is so soothing - I seek out your videos when I need to relax. Thank you.
Beautiful shrubs. Nice to see a video again. I hope your nursery is doing well. I was so excited for you last year when you acquired it. Continued blessings. 👏🏻💕🇺🇸
Thank you for such an informative video! I was not aware hypericum were st. John's Wort plants which I have always admired! Now I'm really going to buy one because I also love hypericum in cut flower arrangements. And I just bought one of the Japanese dappled willows and have yet to plant it. Knowing that it likes damp soil is such a great help! And... I cannot believe the size of that monster fatsia in your yard. Just gorgeous! Perhaps I will have to get one of those as well! I have a small indoor plant which is not as colourful or as pretty as the one you showed us. Thank you so much again! Hope you enjoy your trip to the coast of Oregon! Stay safe and healthy!
I can attest to the hypericum being deer resistant. I have had deer feast on my Annabelle Hydrangea right next to it and not touch this shrub. My hypericum gets beautiful pincushion-style flowers of a buttery yellow. Just love it! I live in zone 5b.
Hello, I just bought that Fatsia Japonica because I love the way the leaves look, but was not really sure how they would grow. Fantastic that you showed that shrub, not many people talk about it. I am in zone 9 and it is growing well in the heat and humidity.
First time watching- beautiful, informative and helpful. Thanks 😊 too for the videos if your gardens - they are beautiful. Love how you explain and show the name of each plant on screen.
Hi, I'm from the UK but I absolutely love your videos. You're so easy to watch, quite calming actually! I'm sure it was one of your videos that Introduced me to Carpella Profusion so I had to go out and buy a few.. Thanks again 😁 x
I LOVE the "Dappled Willow", but as a word of caution, we planted a lovely one, and the rabbits immediately and consistently ate the new growth down to the ground, until hubby came up with the idea to build a chicken wire cage around it. The cage isn't lovely, but the plant is finally able to put on some new growth.
Good to hear from you! You look good and love the hair cut and color! Thanks for informing us on these beautiful shrubs! Ive been looking for stuff to fill in the back of my yard thats is full shade one side gets about 5hrs of sun so i think a couple of these would do great! I really need to get a Dogwood shrub those are beautiful! Enjoy your summer aswell take sometime out for your self! Happy Gardening!! take care! 💜🌿🌺🌼🌸🌾🌲🌻
I have 3 of the Dappled Willows and while they are beautiful they grow like crazy! Unfortunately, I didn't prune them while they were small so now they are 8 ft+. One year I cut them all the way back and they regrew full size the same season. I can't keep pruning them like that being I don't have an easy way to dispose of mountains of branches so I just give them a haircut when they impede our driveway or lawn mowing. They give pretty winter interest as well with their reddish orange stems after losing their leaves.
I don't know her name or I keep forgetting but i sure enjoy these videos. Thank you & please keep posting- 🚴♂️Enjoy your vacation or I HOPE you enjoyed it just in case this is an old video🌺
Always enjoy your videos, Debbie! I look forward to the online store. I would love to obtain some of the plants/shrubs you talk about in your videos. Some are hard to find in my area, Zone 8B near San Antonio TX. Our sun is pretty intense down here so I’m always careful to monitor a new plant even if it says “likes full sun”. I’m also interested in unique garden statues, mid size. Love the concrete or aged look, rather than brightly painted.
I just found your channel on TH-cam, I have already subscribed because you have been very informing. I enjoy gardening and am always wondering what to plant and where. You videos have been most helpful. Thank you.
We have lazy deer. If you can get the shrub up to five or six feet tall, the deer won't reach. lol Maybe plants get bitter with age. Deer seem to eat only the new growth on certain shrubs around here, or anything with fragrance, like azaleas.
Love the video. Went on your website and was happy to see that it's coming along. I see some interesting iron/steel artwork featured on one of the page. I would love to see iron orbs or globes to accompany potted plants. Can't seem to find them. If you carry Sneeboer garden tools, I will be the first to purchase a set of them!
Thank you for great video. Could you, please, make another one featuring celestium (snow in summer) flowers? How to grow them from seeds and transplant them correctly if needed. Thanks a lot!
Love your videos! I’m looking for a ground cover plant flowers around my lilac tree, it’s very bare there, in zone 5A in Canada. Thank you for your help ;)
What a nice surprise to see this vid come up today. This winter I cut back a very large dappled willow almost to the ground. I loved how it looked this spring!! In this vid I heard you mention to give it a trim in late spring early summer. Would you recommend going back about a third, or even more? I’m also wondering about a bloomerang lilac...I just recently got a poison ivy vine out of it and want to make sure it’s not too late to trim it. It needs me bed to a spot with more sun. It’s surviving but not getting as large as it’s set potential. Might August be a good time for the move?
Greetings!! 🌝 So glad I found your channel. For quite a while now I have been looking for a special shrub 🌲,one that is unique, hardy, easy to care for and beautiful 🦚. So I am going to purchase 3 to 5 ‘flamingo 🦩 shrubs’ for under the windows of my house in my front yard. I have looked at every garden shop this year for a line of women’s garden tools, but have yet to find one. I used to have a garden shovel that was easier to handle than the regular sized one that is built for mans sized hands and bodies. It also had a different colored handle. Btw, what is your name? Thank you!!!
Wait a minute! I have a Fatsia Japonica ( Aralia Sieboldii ) I thought it was a HOUSE PLANT! I've been growing it as a house plant. I have a shrub?! ROFL oh my goodness!
We are zine 7....high desert in the mountains ABOVE San Luis Obispo, CA where Cal Poly University is. We have deer all over....so all my flowers are eaten, except crepe Myrtle in the fall and they leave the Icelanders alone, but this year they have even begun to eat some of my geraniums, and any other florals...guess we are just to have green.....help!
Hi Love your channel! I have a small wet space between my steps off the porch and foundation of the house, about three feet. I’d like something to put there year round. I live in the middle of NC zone 7
I'm in zone 5 on 3/4 of an acre, and am contemplating planting a dappled willow for a bit of friendly privacy screening. Do they require constant trimming in order to keep them in bound and attractive? Yours is so beautiful!
I recently learned about Muhly grass but found it very difficult to locate to purchase. Tractor Supply was the only place i could find it in norcal. Would you be selling Muhly?
Hello Debbie, what part of Northwest are you located? I'm also in the NW Sequim WA. We own a cattle field where parts of the field becomes wetland during the fall/winter starting Nov to Feb. You think the dappled willow can handle swamp areas? It does dries out most the summer in Sequim. In fact it is starting to be drier now in March 2021.
I agree with Diane. Liquid Fence is sold at Lowes or Home Depot and works for my zone 5b garden. You may have to re apply 2-3 times per season but it works.
Deer especially love azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and arborvitae. Those are the most eaten by deer. I have a deer issue so I have to research each shrub before I buy. One of the universities has a comprehensive list of all sorts of ornamental plants, shrubs, trees and how likely they are to be eaten.
I have a variegated dogwood with a reddish twig, but it gets rust colored spots on the older leaves. Any idea what this is so I can treat it? Any help is appreciated! 😊 Also, I would LOVE to have a fatsia somewhere but garden in a zone 6 (SW Pa.). If I kept it on the most protected side of the house (Eastern), close to the house to receive any radiant warmth, would it be feasible?
I have 3 monrovia StJohnsWart. Bought distressed 1 gallons. Spring 2020, they are 3 ft tall and full lile the one you showed. Temps are 85-90°, and no wilting nor leaf spot. They're in sun ALL day, unfiltered. Doesn't compare to maintenance of a newly planted hydrangea or peony.

I love your Angel behind you with the red and blu flowers 🌺
I'm so glad to see you got a microphone 😁 it makes a huge difference to the clarity of the audio. Hope to see loads more uploads coming soon
Love all the shrubs you covered, will put them on my list🌾🌾

I love to see in garden shops figures such as garden fairies, rabbits, bird baths or fountain
I want them all. Can't wait for your online store to be up and running. Enjoy your R&R time in Oregon.
The monster Fatsia you have is beautiful! Thank you for the glimpse of the many plants in the garden :D I love seeing pollinators enjoying it.
Love your videos. So informative, beautiful scenery, and great ideas. Your voice and garden is so soothing - I seek out your videos when I need to relax. Thank you.
Beautiful shrubs. Nice to see a video again. I hope your nursery is doing well. I was so excited for you last year when you acquired it. Continued blessings. 👏🏻💕🇺🇸
Thank you for another informative video. Love your taste and style. 🌲🌿
Glad to see you're doing well! Love this video.
I wish I could grow that Fatsia in zone 6b. It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Your garden is really lovely.
Wow!! I have alot of Japonica, but I've never seen that beautiful Camouflage......
my fav garden channel.
Thank you for such an informative video! I was not aware hypericum were st. John's Wort plants which I have always admired!

Really like the foliage of the Japonica, the big leafs stand out against the other shrubs!
Very informative video . I like the way you described all the details and names of each plant you talked about . Keep up the good work
I can attest to the hypericum being deer resistant. I have had deer feast on my Annabelle Hydrangea right next to it and not touch this shrub. My hypericum gets beautiful pincushion-style flowers of a buttery yellow. Just love it! I live in zone 5b.
Omgosh! I just found your channel and I'm impressed. The end of the video with you showing your garden is beautiful.
So excited for online store!
Thanks! Will try to find these shrubs at our local nursery.
Hello, I just bought that Fatsia Japonica because I love the way the leaves look, but was not really sure how they would grow. Fantastic that you showed that shrub, not many people talk about it. I am in zone 9 and it is growing well in the heat and humidity.
I would love to see more Proven Winners plants/flowers. I love Monrovia and Proven Winners they just perform so well. Blessings
First time watching- beautiful, informative and helpful. Thanks 😊 too for the videos if your gardens - they are beautiful. Love how you explain and show the name of each plant on screen.
Hi, I'm from the UK but I absolutely love your videos. You're so easy to watch, quite calming actually! I'm sure it was one of your videos that Introduced me to Carpella Profusion so I had to go out and buy a few..
Thanks again 😁 x
I just discovered you! I’m a Kansas Gardner so I have hot, dry conditions a lot....plus winds! But I LOVE flowers and will enjoy watching you!
So glad you are back. Your information and format are perfect.
I like plants, just don't charge an arm and a leg for shipping.
Usps offers flat rate boxes so I never understood why some nurseries charge so much...
I LOVE the "Dappled Willow", but as a word of caution, we planted a lovely one, and the rabbits immediately and consistently ate the new growth down to the ground, until hubby came up with the idea to build a chicken wire cage around it.

Happy to see new video! The Fatsia seems the most interesting to me, although all mentioned shrubs looks nice!
This St.John’s Wart is a nightmare plant. The birds love the berries & spread the seeds all over everywhere!
Love your video keep them coming Easy to follow

Great video Debbie! And your hair looks great too!
As always..beautiful features....thankyou much...🙋🏼♀️🌻🐝

I’m looking for a ground cover plant flowers around my lilac tree, it’s very bare there, in zone 5A in Canada. Thank you for your help ;)
Love video of your garden.
Your hair is lovely! Thanks for great garden show
That camouflage is gorg!! Would love if u carried hakonekloa.. It's so hard to find here in nc! 💚💚

Love your program. Do you sell seeds, such as Fireweed? Enjoy your travels through Oregon.
Put hair trimmings around your garden to help discourage deer!
I would love to see the plants and shrubs that you show on the TH-cam channel in your store.

Sharon Browne haha yeah, used to be outdoor but they’re also indoor like many other plants, like a lot of begonias, I see sweet potato vines even
LOVE THEM ALL! Thank you for your knowledge. Also what is the bluish purple flowering plant in front of your statue? That's LOVELY as well.
Amsonia
Thank you
And
The circle is divide by a cross in the middle
Love your Angel status
Would like to hear about Nandina, monotypic genus family.
Can you do a video on ground covers?
We are zine 7....high desert in the mountains ABOVE San Luis Obispo, CA where Cal Poly University is.

Loved the fatsoa japonica. So tempted. But I’m in Ontario zone 6b 😭
Hi

I'm in zone 5 on 3/4 of an acre, and am contemplating planting a dappled willow for a bit of friendly privacy screening. Do they require constant trimming in order to keep them in bound and attractive? Yours is so beautiful!
I trim mine twice a year just to keep it's shape. They grow fast so perfect for screening. :)
Beautiful, thanks. What are the purple and pink flowers around the Angel? Thanks
Amsonia perennials and deep pink carpet rose. :)
👍
I recently learned about Muhly grass but found it very difficult to locate to purchase. Tractor Supply was the only place i could find it in norcal. Would you be selling Muhly?
We sold it last year and hope to find it and bring it in again this year.
Love it!! I’m putting a circle garden in the front of the house, we get filtered sunlight what you recommend?
Love all the shrub options😊 what is the blue flower behind you ???
Amsonia! :)
Hello Debbie, what part of Northwest are you located? I'm also in the NW Sequim WA. We own a cattle field where parts of the field becomes wetland during the fall/winter starting Nov to Feb. You think the dappled willow can handle swamp areas? It does dries out most the summer in Sequim. In fact it is starting to be drier now in March 2021.
I'm in the Gig Harbor area. I know Sequim real well have friends up there. Yes the dappled willow should do fine there. :)
do you cut your hair after or before flowering ?
Love to see some proven winners annuals !
Can you talk about hydrangea trees please?
Looking for a hazelnut bushes. Living in Renton, WA.
Zone for St. John wart
Zone 5
Hi, are the willows deer resistant?
They may nibble on them in the early spring however willows grow so fast you may not even notice. 😊
I planted azaleas. Said deer resistant. They prune them down to almost nothing for last 3 years. I don't guess I'll ever have blooms ... sigh
I've had the same problem with my azalea and found the product Liquid Fence works well keeping the deer away from it.
I agree with Diane. Liquid Fence is sold at Lowes or Home Depot and works for my zone 5b garden. You may have to re apply 2-3 times per season but it works.
Deer especially love azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and arborvitae. Those are the most eaten by deer. I have a deer issue so I have to research each shrub before I buy. One of the universities has a comprehensive list of all sorts of ornamental plants, shrubs, trees and how likely they are to be eaten.
Where can the angel figurine be bought from
None available currently however come fall we hope to find more. :)
I have a variegated dogwood with a reddish twig, but it gets rust colored spots on the older leaves. Any idea what this is so I can treat it? Any help is appreciated! 😊
Also, I would LOVE to have a fatsia somewhere but garden in a zone 6 (SW Pa.). If I kept it on the most protected side of the house (Eastern), close to the house to receive any radiant warmth, would it be feasible?
Copper fungicide
Great video! Is it too late to plant a dahlia or canna bulb in the ground? I just purchased them. I'm in zone 8a. thx
It's not too late. Go for it!!!
I love the angel statue where did you buy that?
Something we off er at the nursery. :)
I would love to have the hypericum/ St Jon’s wort. In what zone does it grow? I live in Texas in zone 7B or 8A
I have 3 monrovia StJohnsWart. Bought distressed 1 gallons. Spring 2020, they are 3 ft tall and full lile the one you showed. Temps are 85-90°, and no wilting nor leaf spot. They're in sun ALL day, unfiltered. Doesn't compare to maintenance of a newly planted hydrangea or peony.
What zones for St. John's wort?
Whoops! Video cut that out. Zones 5 to 9. :)
What are the blue flowers behind you in this video?
Amsonia! :)
What is that plant behind you? The blue flower one.
Amsonia!
Can I order your plants via Amazon or directly only from yr nursery. Thanks
Not yet but we are working on it! :)
Would you ship to Alaska ?🍃
We don't ship plants at the moment.
Should be "zone" 7
Should be "oleanders"
