What a treat to find a new garden tour this morning! I have so many words ... stunning, breathtaking, inspiring are a few. Many thanks for the opportunity to experience such artistry.
The prairie garden with the lupins is truly breathtaking! Your other gardens are like paintings too. I wish I lived closer to you to come see them in person.
Hi Dawn! Your property and gardens are so lovely-each area is special and well cared for. If I were walking through the grassy areas, I’d be saying the same…..so lush and green. Love your planters and look forward to more as the summer begins. Thank you so much…I can only dream of such spaces!
One of the most beautiful gardens on TH-cam Dawn! Took my breath away. Wish I could visit. I second another commenter's request for a monthly tour. Thank you for sharing your garden with us!
Oh my goodness, what a fabulous tour this was. You have put a tremendous amount of work to transform the swath of land into this Eden Paradise. I really appreciate the way you can very clearly introduce us to each of the plants in your garden and tell us a little bit about your process for creating each and everyone of these beds. I especially love how you mix very classic items such as your urns and your birdbath planters with something as rustic as your vegetable garden It truly is a work of art, but it’s so much more than that I hope to come and see your garden this summer
Hi Dawn I love every area of your gardens! Just beautiful. I cannot get over the lupines-amazing!! I like others here wish I lived closer to attend your tour in person. Thank you for sharing these tours so all could enjoy😊🌻
Thank you so much for sharing! I haven't seen a garden that even compares to yours. If I lived in a neighboring state I would definitely buy a ticket to tour your garden. Heavenly. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊
Garden looks great! It took me a LOT of years of gardening to appreciate green colors and textures as a garden perk….much preferring the colors of annual flowers, but as my yard aged and the shade grew, I grew with it and now I appreciate the variety of colors and textures. I’m in Indiana and I still haven’t moved my houseplants outside
Thank you so much. I feel like colors and textures of the foliage just add the depth to the garden and then the flowers are a spectacular perk so to speak. You know I don’t have any house plants out other than my bird of Paradise and my gardenia. And quite honestly, I probably should not have moved them out, but they’re so big and heavy that once they’re out they’re out.
Oh dawn. You are such an inspiration. I have lots of yellow yarrow, cat mint and salvia. I just need to get a few of the others in your garden. My garden is so random and I love how you use your plants. I can’t wait to redesign my garden. Please, please keep posting. You are my inspiration, designer and teacher. I would love to see your garden. Maybe someday! I live in zone 6b in Las Vegas New Mexico! And, I would do a road trip just to visit you and your garden!
Dawn it’s a joy to see your gardens always. The lupine is breathtaking! I struggle with lupine starting from seed. Did you direct sow? When did you do that, in the Fall? Just gorgeous. You have inspired me so many’s times and I have purchased some of the plants I see in your gardens. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m so glad I inspired you!! I did plant them from seed in fall. I need to get a bit wet or have the outer coating scuffed up a bit to germinate well. if you’re doing a small area, you can soak them for 24 hours and then broadcast them
Absolutely beautiful! Your garden beds are inspiring me to plant more drifts in my space. And I’ve been researching prairie gardens so I can start my own since I saw yours last year. I’m curious if you grow roses since I don’t seem to hear or see them in your tours?
Thank you! I am happy I inspire you! I do not have a lot of roses. I have one small patch of carpet roses near the front of the house. Do you grow roses?
@@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn Yes, I have about 30 roses in my zone 6a garden. Most of them are Kordes or Austins. I've been studying your plant selections because I want some companion plants for my roses. I'm going for a clean look with a simple color palette of white, cream, pastel pink, and green. After seeing all of the gorgeous spring purples in your beds I am tempted to bring in some of that color. Best of luck as you prepare for the August garden tour!
Stunning!! loving the height of your containers also!! What type of grass do you two have, wondering if you have to edge the stones making up the pathway from the greenhouse and house?
Thank you. The grass seed is Madison Parks. And yes, we do have to edge once a year like the rest of our beds. If you keep on it with a weed wacker that really helps!
In what part of Wisconsin are you ? Wisconsin is my home state and will forever be in my heart even after living in another state for 30 plus years. 💐💚🙃
I would love to come see your garden in person & meet you! Hopefully we can make it happen. Our B.C.Greenhouse is almost completed, my engineer husband is taking his time building it lol. Meanwhile, we have a Mama Mallard watching him while she sits on her eggs under a hydrangea, just 15 feet away from the greenhouse. Always love seeing your videos Dawn!

So gorgeous. Question about your Monrovia woodland garden: was that variegated gout weed in the before clip, or another type of ground cover? I have that everywhere. Some people have told me it’s a type of gout weed but I am not entirely sure. It does spread like crazy and I have to pull it out to give other plants a chance.
Thank you. Yes, variegated bishops weed or gout weed all the same thing and totally horrible. I am not sure how it ever got into my woods there, but I just can’t get rid of it totally. My goal now is just to keep it out of the new garden I planted, and if I have to spritz it with Roundup, I will! if you can eliminate it totally you would be doing the right thing!
@@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn Thanks for the reply! Alrighty, then. I guess I will have to be more assertive in dealing with this. Pulling it only seems to offer temporary space for other plants, and it grows back quickly after a rain. Do you worry about roundup getting on your other plants and damaging them?
No problem. What I did in this space is, I tried to smother it for an entire season first. That seemed to partially work, but that made it spread. The second thing I did was spray that entire area with round up. That seemed to work, but unfortunately, it has already spread into that tree line and I can’t really get rid of it there by spraying because I have other vegetation in there that I don’t want to kill. I planted and mulched heavily and now I will watch for it and if it pops up at all, I will spritz a leaf right away. I’m very very careful when I use it and I have yet to kill another plant. You just need to make sure the sprayer you’re using doesn’t drip or spray in a wide angle. You want a little spritz on the leaves of the plant you’re trying to eliminate. I don’t use it often but sometimes you need to on occasion.
Oh man, that stuff is horrible and quite honestly I don’t think I eliminated at all. No idea where it came from but you can have that stuff lol. I tried to smother it for an entire season with mild success. What came back I spritzed with a little round up.
Your garden is amazing, I hope you will do a garden tour every month so we can see the changes as the season goes on . Thanks for sharing.💐
Thank you. That’s a great idea. I will do that!!
