- Oh my word… After seeing this Garden I wondered if any other garden tour could be as wonderful as this one was. From the moment we walked through the stone entryway into the magnificent space… Well, let’s just say it was pure joy. Lots of ideas, lots of interesting portals, and garden rooms and features. Well, watch yourself and tell me what you think! #scotlandgarden #scotlandtour #scotland #topiary #purpleflowers #gardendecor #gardener #gardengatemagazine #lindavater #gardentour

Linda, this is your strength, explaining how it all works together. How the little choices make such a difference in the overall picture . You are definitely moving quickly toward something that has taken years for them to develop. Your experience and understanding have made it possible .
What pure joy to have you share Scottish gardens with us!! Oh my goodness!! Breath taking.! Uh
This was lovely ,for you to take us along on these beautiful Scottish gardens!
It’s not Scotland, but John Lord’s Secret Garden is a long time favorite YT channel of mine and he owns a garden center just north of Dublin, Ireland. From watching him over the years, I have learned about plants that aren’t widely available here, although they should be. For example, sanguisorba and dierama. I just bought a handful of dierama at Windcliff, Dan Hinkley’s garden, and I love them even more than I thought. They are magical to me and I want more. 😀. Of course, Garden’s World and Beechgrove Garden, which is filmed in Scotland, are very long time favorite garden television shows.
Totally agree, we love John Lord too! He's really spot on with his garden knowledge and advice and sooooo entertaining 😂.
If you haven't dropped into his channel yet do give him a go. Anyone who gardens with a pick axe is my kind of gardener!
I love John Lorde's videos & his garden. I live in Ireland & visit it regularly.
I couldn’t agree more! I love John with is little dog Teddy, his garden is absolutely gorgeous! And forever changing!
Thanks Linda,
Its good to hear your views on a UK garden. As I live here, I think I take this kind of garden a bit for granted ... Its lovely to hear your perspective and makes me look again with fresh eyes ❤
It’s wonderful, Linda, to see our beautiful British gardens through your eyes. It’s just normal for us but deep down we know British gardens are quietly spectacular. It’s in our genes somehow. 😂🧡💚
It was a lovely tour, and a joy to experience it all with such a great tour group! My favorite gardens were Shepherd House, Carolside Gardens and Stobshiel House. 🌷
A beautiful garden which you captured so well, and I'm sure will remember forever.
Thankyou for sharing this delight garden and your insightful commentry.
Yes! You are achieving this garden even in your unkind climate. I can now see what your picture was in your head when you designed and planted. And you have jumped ahead at least 5 years in accomplishment because you knew what you wanted. Now it will only get better every year. I do like your back yard better than the front, because I like it's privacy and peacefulness.
So beautiful Linda, it makes me happy! Plants make me happy!
Loved this tour - your narration is so wonderful. I like hearing your thoughts on design and plant choice. I just got around to watching this Saturday morning. Look forward to more of your trip. Hope you and your team enjoy a much deserved break (though sounds like you'll be planning for future!). I would love to visit Scotland! Thanks taking us with this video.
I love the rock pebble art work!!!!
I am going to try it!
Thank you for sharing your Scotland garden tour!!
Linda that was awesome,,, inspirational to a New Englander!!! Thank you❤️
It's a bit like controlled chaos, wild, free flowing but intentional...beautiful ❤
Absolutely agree. You put into words I couldn't come up with. Some spots tailored and then a bit of "wildness".
We love visiting gardens whenever we travel. There is always an idea to take back home. Thanks Linda❤
Loved this garden tour. I would love their climate. This summer has reinforced that I really don't like temps above 80 degrees--this from someone born and raised in the deep South! For your purple haze concept, have you tried Stokes Asters? I planted mine in the spring and it has been blooming all summer long, no deadheading. I also allowed my Little Carlow Wood Aster and Sky Blue Aster bloom in the spring before cutting them back and should get another bloom in the fall, along with my perennial mums. These are all natives, too. I am not a purist at all but am trying to incorporate more in my garden as they don't seem to be affected at all by our crazy temperature extremes of the past 2 or 3 years.
Love Stokes Asters - beautiful blooms bees love, and grow well in our hot, humid Atlanta area!
Yes you’re certainly starting to achieve it. Nobody but a gardener would be tempted to achieve it by ageing 10 years overnight
I have tried many times to grow Ladies Mantle because I love it so. But Tennessee is too hot and too dry for it to thrive here. I love the gardens of Scotland and England. They have wonderful weather for beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have blue Japanese Iris in my garden and they are very hardy here and have a marvelous showing in spring.
Thank you so ,much for sharing. All I can think of to comment is "Wow"!
Thank you for sharing this with us, Linda! What a delightful and beautiful garden!! I doubt I'll ever get to Scotland so this is such a treat!! ❤😁 I look forward to the next one 🌸
I wanted to go so badly with you and Garden Gate to the UK! Someday I will get there,,,,,,,,, But since I got to watch this video I am so blessed to be in this day of time to have you be our guide ....... Thank you ever so much for this trip I am taking with you without leaving the house! Love, Shirley
Thanks so much for sharing your trip !! Beautiful ….such a great treat !🎉🎉🎉
The tour is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t wait to see more. If I could gently suggest that you don’t include music which makes to harder to hear you and distracts from what you are saying. I don’t want to miss a thing!!
Beautiful gardens! ♥️
Those English daisies that you love so much are in fact Mexican daisies (Erigeron karwinksianus), which you should be able to grow in Oklahoma. It can easily be grown from seed.
I incorporate purple into my garden in memory of my mom. It pairs well with yellow and white accents.
Yes, our host had a great sense of humor, and his wife was very charming. Despite the gloomy skies, the garden photographed well. A lovely garden to start our adventure.
So enjoyed meeting you two!
Be still my heart!!! If I was there, I might decide to stay. I'm here in SC Zone 8, currently in a stage 3 drought situation. What a pleasure it would be to live in such a moist climate. Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures Linda. We can feel your enthusiasm!
Linda, thank you so much for your detailed commentary on this tour. I almost feel like I was on the tour with you!
This garden is MUCH bigger than I initially thought. The map shows it is quite substantial. It is simply packed with plants. There were some ideas I could use, but their garden limitations are different from mine. I have significant deer pressure that they don't have, given their walled spaces. That's what a garden can look like after decades, grown in combination with a partner, such as a spouse. Beautiful!
Loved this tour!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm enjoying the tour all over again! Thank you for this, Linda! (Joanne from the Scotland Tour)
I’m so glad you approve Joanne! Wasn’t it lovely?!
I just noticed the Lily Martagons. They were beautiful. I treasure each one I have in my garden areas. They are very hard to grow in Oklahoma City. They are the first Lily to bloom in my gardens.🌸🌺🌼
Beautiful!
Try Phenomenal lavender. I am in zone 7b in NC and it is really the only lavender that seems capable of handling our heat and humidity. I have it planted on a berm so it has drainage.
Music just a wee bit too loud❤
Thank you! I loved the music but it gave me a headache trying to listen to Linda with the music volume so loud.
Music is too loud.
So beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!😊
I am not a great photographer. But I am a lover of beautiful gardens. Thank you for capturing this lovely space.
❤😄 ola Gracias linda por compartir
So lovely! Thank you for the color commentary, too. I was struck by the soft orange wall and how it looks great among the greenery.
Just stunning, thank goodness for cameras. Thank you for the all the little details.
Truly stunning garden,. The color pallette suits the environment so very well. It all blends in so well. I also liked how there were so many elements or garden rooms and yet they seemed so seamless. So well put together - that’s what I look from this garden tour. Thank you for sharing.
It would be wonderful to incorporate gravel pathways throughout your cottage garden. It would make for beautiful winter interest as well.
That was great, thanks so much. Gorgeous garden. I recognized that feeling of being overwhelmed when I’m in a garden that really touches me. When I visit a garden like that I go around once very slowly, taking in every detail, and then go around the whole garden again more quickly, paying more attention to the overall layout.. This tour taught me you don’t need video to make a great garden tour. Thanks again.
I wonder if you pruned the 3 yews in your front yard into more cylindrical shapes, if that would add more defined architecture in your space? I think once your redbuds are limbed up that will also add more definition. I love the combination of densely packed romantic/ airy flowers and tightly pruned geometrical shapes- that is what I’m going for in my garden. Thank you for sharing your trip - it’s so much fun to hear your descriptions!
Such a treat to see a beautiful Scottish garden
Linda, I love your comments on this magnificent garden. . Through your photos and comments I was taken back there again and saw many looks that I did not even take in while there. So much to see! I can’t wait to see future videos from Scotland. What a great trip!
Thank you, Shelia! So fun to hear from you!♥️
Enjoyed this!
Thank you for sharing as it reminds me of the garden tour I took to England in the late 1990's. I went with 2 friends and we went in May and toured many gardens and also got to experience the Chelsea Flower Show. We left England and went to Paris for a few days and took a side trip to see Monet's garden. Our trip was organized by the Federatlon of Garden Clubs and they also did a great job organizing our tour.
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing. My grandmother was from Scotland!
Magnificent! I will have this on repeat!!
Linda, I loved reminiscing over the tour we had! You made it even better by explaining all the plantings and how we can incorporate some of them here. This tour was magical
In every way. Loved getting to know you and Jamie!
Thanks sweetie! It was so so much fun. What was your biggest take away from this garden?
I LOVE Iris! We have one here that has a variegated leaf and blooms of soft lavender…
Very inspiring. Thank you for taking us along. I can definitely see connections between this garden and yours with the tight shapes and loose forms and lovely abundance, as well as intentional paths. Thank you for reminding viewers about limbing up weigela. I planted a wine and roses weigela years and years ago and it got too big and looked messy. I saw one of your videos where you talked about limbing up your weigela, and you were doing maintenance. I took to my weigela in similar fashion and can't thank you enough for the idea!
Omg thank you so much for sharing! I enjoyed it can’t wait for more
I feel the subdued tones of the planning perfectly match to weather conditions in Scotland. Predominantly grey granite and grey, wet skies. We've had incredibly wet weather here in England this year, and have only managed to sit outside once since last Autumn 😂. A perfect garden video with perfect t commentary. Thank you Linda.
Linda! Thank you for sharing Scotland. I was in Scotland several years ago and long to return so your sharing ministered to my soul ♥️
What beautiful gardens. I love visiting garden virtually. I am planting an Amur Cherry tree in the back garden. I love everything about this tree, the molten bark that peals off like birch trees. We had a very old crab apple tree that we had to take out and the sun exposure is unrelenting so this tree will afford us the much needed shade. I live in Alberta Canada zone 3 -4 we have had sweltering weather for the last 3 weeks in the 90 F I think this is our future going forward, planting trees is so important. It will also provide shade to our pergola albeit it has a roof now. Thank you for the tour ❤️
That was fun! Thank you for the tour! There was lots there for inspiration as I continue developing my little cottage garden area in my backyard. Three takeaways for me - I need to name my garden, I should place some single pots or gather a few pots to put together in some little pockets of the garden bed, and I need to add more purple (this tour just reinforced my plan for this).💜
What a lovely garden. Thank you so much for takin us along.
Hope you feel better soon Linda.
What a lovely time you had in Scotland, thank you for sharing. Took a few snapshots. Very inspiring 🌸🌺
Thank you for sharing ,what else can I say but beautiful.what ideas have popped into my head by just viewing those pics . Just looking at everything and smiling at the same time 😊 thank you.
I was pleasantly surprised! Love their gardens.
It was exciting to see this garden! My favorite things are so hard to decide! I did love how you felt drawn into the different areas because of the view ahead and the stone or gravel paths. Thank you, Linda!
What a glorious garden! It’s too hard to pick a favorite area, I loved all of it. Thanks for sharing this special treat with us and I can’t wait to see the next one.
Love love love this garden...very inspiring 💜
Linda,The tour is beautiful just the way I imagined it would look.Thankyou so much.We are planning a trip to Europe summer 2025.I am so excited!!Your tours make it even more exciting.Donna in Georgia 😊
So lovely. Thank you for sharing
What beautiful gardens!!!❤❤
Thankyou, such a treat to watch. So enjoyed the bits of music.
I’m noticing that beautiful white greenhouse!❤
Just loved this video. Please share more of your trip
Love your narration of these beautiful gardens. What is their zone?
I love a garden tour. That looks amazing. I’m trying to scale down the amount of pots because of the high maintenance.
Beautiful pictures and presentation Linda, thank you for sharing with us. Going to Scotland in August, for sure will visit some of the gardens in my area. By the way the pots in your first picture are actually chimneys. We can find them in reclamation yards here in England. Lots of love
Dear Linda, the "olive" is pyrus salicifolia. It is a very frost hardy small tree. Check it out.
Beautiful garden tour, but the music was nice, just too loud, u we’re having to talk over it which was distracting
Sorry about that
Never could I have seen these gardens if you did not take us...
Breathtaking. What dreams are made for...❤
So delightful... my dream garden!
Absolutely beautiful! I’m looking forward to seeing how you integrate your trip into your garden.
A small point…
I did find the music playing while you were talking quite distracting. I’d prefer to just focus on the visuals and your narration.
Thanks for sharing! 💚💚💚
Love the tour of the garden. I love visiting Edinburgh. What tour company did you used for this trip. I’d loved to go again
Just beautiful ❤ I have ordered some iris as I want that look too. Love the colors. Kathy
You could add gravel pathways to your front garden. Maybe with brick and gravel, like your sitting area.
Hi Linda. Thank you for your video. ❤
Love this garden and the explanation! Such a fun trip, I’m sure. I couldn’t pick a favorite thing. You mentioned growing Lavender, have you tries phenomenal lavender? I live on zone 8 with clay soil and extreme humidity and can’t grow lavender. My friend Jenny with Gardening with Creekside recommends Phenomenal lavender in her same gardening climate. Worth a try. Enjoy your sabbatical. I so enjoy your channel.
such a treat.
You did such a wonderful job exploring this garden. Did you send a copy of the video to the owner?
Be still my heart
Thanks for the update. I have been wondering how you ar. Re your plans: you should just transition your CSI to just perennials. With you growing all those annuals for your nursery, why try growing them at home? We have seen the amount of time you spend starting them at home - I did wonder why you were doing that? Just grow one or two focal flowers for every month. Snapdragons are going to be relegated to Zone 3 at this rate. Or start them in late summer for fall bouquets. Keep your daffodils, peonies and lupines for spring, lilies and rudbeckia and sunflowers for summer and mums, snapdragons and celosia in fall colors for fall. Add the foliage and you have a winning formulae,
I’d love to attend one of your garden trips!
Hello Linda 😘
5:53 that’s me! 😊
It was hard for me to tell, you cute thing!
@@LindaVater 🤗
Wow, that garden is just divine, the glass house is called a sun room it's a space to sit and drink tea and enjoy looking at nature very popular as it's sheltered and especially if raining.
We call that a ‘conservatory’
@@kirsteneasdale5707 yes also same 👍
I would suggest you try,
Erigeron karvinskianus (Mexican Daisy),
as a substitute for english daisies.
To get more views, you could title this “Reacting to Scottish gardens” or “Reacting to the best Scottish garden I’ve ever seen.” But then again, it’s refreshing that you’re not like every other youtuber
Wine Linda, lets have wine 🍷
❤
Did they have a problem with ants? I have such problems with ants in my gardens and pots. My condition is humid and wet zone 9a, Foley, AL.
