- Don't miss this gorgeous garden tour! Get lots of design ideas and new plant ideas from my friend Tom's Zone 4 urban garden. Filmed over the course of spring, summer and fall, you'll get a tour of a shade garden, rain garden, waterfall and pond garden, and a lovely, formal vegetable garden. The overall garden area, approximately 1/3 of an acre, flows easily from one section to the next. Natural stone hardscape and many plantings are repeated throughout the entire garden, thereby creating a unified and cohesive feel.

Beautiful space! I see why you loved the veggie garden. Thank you for sharing!
I agree! The vegetable garden is indeed stunning!
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful and well curated. Happy to see a decent amount of native plants and shrubs. That’s so important.
I couldn't agree more. Tom's garden is gorgeous and native friendly.
Wow love the solutions and beauty Tom has created in this space
I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour of Tom‘s garden. It is one of my favorite gardens.
Well, it seems there is a nice group of like minded friends in that neck of the woods 🙂And the birds agree!
The shared love of gardens and gardening certainly defines a community 🐦🌹🌿
That's so true- I'm glad Rosanne and I found each other, she's amazing. And yes, lots of birds- The evergreens for shelter and cover and the water feature really draw them in- and a birdfeeder all winter long.
There is a blue Amsonia in our area that is striking when it blooms. I've been driving by it for 4 years wondering what on earth that beautiful blue flowering shrub was. Thanks to this tour at Tom's garden , I finally got my answer! And it's deer resistant!! Yay! I have meadow deer that stroll through my yard and gardens every single night! Now the challenge will be to source a Blue Amsonia (locally) for my garden! I'll keep you posted! Loved this tour and all the info!

Hi Stephanie and greetings to New Jersey! I'm so glad the mystery has been solved! The shade of the blue flowers is so striking and unmistakable. I wish you all the best in sourcing one of your own. Glad you enjoyed the video tour of Tom's garden! Do keep me posted. Start with a new comment so that I don't miss it. Good luck! 🌿
So glad to see a new Roseanne video! Beautiful garden! The shade garden is my favorite!
Hi Corey! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video. It's hard to pick a favorite in the garden, but I tend to agree. Although I really liked the veg garden and rain garden too. I also really liked the sound of the waterfall...and the pond garden....🌿
So glad you like the garden and the video. On a really warm day the shade garden is the place to be.
Thank you Roseanne, his garden is beautiful! 🌷💚🙃
I'm so glad you thought so too! 🌿
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the video!
Outstanding job on this video Roseanne! Really appreciated that you showed the seasonal changes and wrote in the plant names.
Thank you Stephanie! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Tom's garden is so beautiful throughout the seasons; I'm glad I could capture some of it.
Rosanne is so professional, she truly made it a pleasure to do this video with her.
Thank you so much! What a way to welcome spring!
Spring is around the corner. I'm starting some more seeds today. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for this beautiful tour. You have created such a lovely garden, Tom.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour of Tom's garden!
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful.
I'm glad you enjoyed Tom's garden!
Absolutely Gorgeous 💯
Glad you enjoyed the video of Tom's garden!
Super!!! Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Most delightful tour. Thank you for sharing the details.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for feedback. I think details are important too 🙂
Beautiful garden - a real inspiration for this zone 4 Canadian gardener. Thanks kindly.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video of Tom's Garden!
Thank you! Zone 4 is really challenging- best to focus on what we can grow (and not what we can't lol).
Oh my.. how stunning!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video tour!🌱
What a beautiful space. I love the way you put the names of the plant on screen. The vegetable garden is very creative
Thank you! Rosanne makes such wonderful videos, I couldn't say no.
Thank you so much 😊
Loved the video of Toms garden 💕
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!🌿
Wow!! ❤
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed Tom's garden!
Well done Tom! 👍
This is so refreshing to see when we just had snow again in our gardens in Minnesota! This gives me real hope that spring WILL eventually come for us!
Greetings fellow Minnesotan! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It is good to be reminded that Spring really is around the corner ;-)
But a lot of that snow has already melted, and 60's next week, so spring will come!
Love the shade garden. Well done!

Beautiful garden. I especially loved the rain garden. I may have to try that next to my driveway.
I did too. I was amazed when Tom told me (showed me) the benefits. And, it's so beautiful!
Thank you! Our driveway had never drained well, we would get ice in the winter. Now that it is pitched to the rain garden, it's dry all winter and summer.
Good Morning
Yeay really nice share
Thanks You
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🌿🌷🌱
Well done Tom..❤👍👍👍
Rosanne and Tom, I really enjoyed this video tour and appreciate all of the detail! So visually pleasing.
Hi Ginny, so glad you enjoyed this video… and the detail. Tom‘s garden is beautiful and easy to film.🌺🌲🌞
I am always so surprised that in your cold climate, you make such stunning, gorgeous gardens. And a vegetable garden 😍
Greetings! There are many plants that I'd like to try, but can't because they probably wouldn't survive. But, we do have a lot of alternatives 😊. We just had 8" of snow last night. Ugh, our growing season is pretty short, so we try to make the most of it 😉🌼🐝🌲
Thank you! Yes, the climate is a real challenge, but it makes Spring just that much more of a miracle.
@@AsarumTom spring is always a miracle. From barren land to green lush jungle. ❤️🌷
And I thought we Canadians appreciated Spring more than anyone else! I guess it’s a tie.
This video tour was especially helpful as I have mostly shade in my garden and part of it is boggy. There were so many excellent suggestions and choices-a delicious smorgasbord.
And yes, that vegetable garden is the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. As nice as Linda Vater’s potager!
Beautiful garden tour. I wish I could have a garden like this one day. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the tour of Tom's garden 🌼🌿🌷
As a Zone 4 gardener in the outer 'burbs of Mpls, I love seeing what we can grow here, especially in the shade! I have taken note of many of these varieties because I too have an assortment of oak trees and I'm glad to have more inspiration for how to plant under them. Thanks, Tom, for sharing your garden with us!
Greetings neighbor! I too was so surprised at the beautiful and interesting shade plants in Tom's garden. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🌷🌿🌳
It was my pleasure! And I'm so glad you like the garden. Oaks really are the king of trees in my book, we're so lucky to have them.
Oh , how I love a shade garden. Its my favorite. With dappled sunlight, its pure heaven.
I couldn't agree more! Just add a breeze and birds singing. 🌳🌸🌲🐦
Me too! I had never done any shade gardening when I moved here over 25 years ago, but over time I became a convert.
Amazing garden! Thank you for the great video. Enjoyed watching a lot🌷😘🌻💛💙
I agree! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🐦🌿🌹
@@RosannesGarden 🙂
What an amazing garden!
I agree. Tom's garden is quite gorgeous.
Gorgeous! 🤩
Thanks-loved it!
So glad!
Loved the rain garden!
So glad you enjoyed the video. I love to watch the rain garden fill up during a thunderstorm!
Wow! Amazing beautiful garden!
Greetings! I recall you like natural stonework. I just loved the stonework in the vegetable garden.
very beautiful
Amazing 😻
Remarkable, how much good does who takes good care of the garden. Thanks for posting Brazil 🇧🇷
Greetings to Brazil! So glad to hear you enjoyed the video tour of Tom's garden! 🌹🌿🐝

lovely garden 😍
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🌹
Beautious! Thanks for displaying the plant names on screen & sharing this beautiful piece of property.
You are quite welcome! Glad you appreciate the botanical names. I'm pleased I could bring Tom's garden to you via video!
Thank you so much 😊😊
You are quite welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video tour of Tom's garden 🌲🌺🌳
Beautiful garden! You made such an amazing space out of a relatively small footprint. I have a smaller yard and you gave me such great ideas. This was a high quality video and watching it was a good use of my time. Thank you both.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you Leslie! It is not a big garden, but I've tried to create different areas based on the conditions and how we use it. I think that makes it seem bigger than it really is.
Hi Rosanne! Wow! Your friend Tom has a beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing this! I love it! ❤
I agree! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video of Tom's garden!
Absolutely stunning garden!!! Thank you both for sharing it with us!
Hi! I am so pleased to be able to share Tom's garden. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do :-)
What an inspiration!
Just beautiful.
Thank you❤

Thanks for the video, I really liked it!
The open, yet closed rooms, the many shades of green, plants unknown to me are all exciting discoveries.
A special merit of the video is that we can see a part of the garden in several seasons!
Thank you both, the garden is amazing, congratulations to Tom and Rosanne, thank you for your work!
Kata, from Hungary :)
Greetings Kata from Hungary! I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing Tom's garden through the seasons!
Thank you Kata, I'm so glad you liked the video. Rosanne does beautiful work.
The hardscape is outstanding but the choice of plants....average would be a very generous description.
I'm glad you appreciate the hardscape. However, we will need to agree to disagree on the plants.
Will you be posting a spring tour of your own garden? Thanks to you, I gave calla lilies a try. I started them indoors, and I will be hardening them off this week and next. I am in zone 4a and my first tulip opened this morning. 🌷
I'm so excited to hear about your Calla Lilies. I hope you'll love them! As for a spring garden tour, the best can offer is the one I did last May. It's really quite lovely if you haven't seen it. Here's a link:

I appreciate the time, dedication and effort you place on these videos. I've learned so much.
Can you pretty please share some insight on what your garden looks like from inside your home. I'm having a really hard time figuring out what to do with that space. Can I pay for a bit of your time and insight?
I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel and that you feel you've learned a lot :-)
If you're talking about the view of our garden from our house, the first 18 seconds of this video comes pretty close
th-cam.com/video/myFj2QvdfZw/w-d-xo.html.
It's taken from a small deck on the back of our house. If your'e talking about the view from Tom's house, it's quite spectacular and overlooks the shade garden. As far as consulting and as much as I'd like to help, I will need to decline. But, my secret ingredients to a good landscape plan always include natural stone hardscape for permanent structure and order, and lots of layers of plants, including ornamental and shade trees. Sorry I can't be of more help! All the best!
@@RosannesGarden Thank you!
This must be an area in which deers do not roam. I can not keep hostas in the ground
You are correct, I'm fortunate to have no deer in my garden. And I'm knocking on wood...
Could you possibly tell me how tall you think Irish Moss would grow during summer in Maryland zone 7B with full sunlight exposure from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.?
That seems like a lot of sun; it will need regular watering. As far as the height, it stays short for me (about a half of an inch to an inch max). I can't imagine it would grow any taller in any conditions.
@@RosannesGarden I forgot to ask - does it turn brown when temperatures fall below 32 F or lower ?
@@fayschneider503 It turns "brownish". The sunnier the spot, the greener it remains.
@@RosannesGarden do you have any large patches of Irish moss, covering 25 square feet or more? If so, have you ever had a problem with moles or voles tunneling under Irish moss?
At 5:51 what is the plant in the front with silver leaves
Hi! It is: Fothergilla intermedia 'Blue Shadows'. It's so striking in the garden. I do discuss it ever-so-briefly at 9:05
@@RosannesGarden thank you
