    Thank you all for the gift of getting to see this amazingly beautiful garden! I'm blown away by its layers of design and color. And, I'm so grateful for the 4 cornerstones as a take away. Such a gift!

    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.

    Love this 'meadow on the edge of the forest' vibe. More wide-open feeling than a lot of them, but you've still got that back garden for a more enclosed and intimate space.

    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.

      There's a lot of natural vegetation here that the deer are accustomed to and totally happy eating. Additionally, many of my neighbors are deer hunters. And finally, for a few things I spray with a wonderful peppermint oil based repellent 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.

    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 🙏🏻

    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!

    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
      @jaysifford9419 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
