I really enjoy following this journey! Sometimes I watch episodes sequentially, other times I hop around based on video title/topic. I live in a suburban condo so I suppose there is a little bit of vicarious living going on, lol, but Thanks for sharing!
Yes, we're really looking forward to its more mature state. Even next year summer should be a better show. This was so end of year. It was exciting to see the Sacbiosa and Verbena still in bloom though so late. The bumblebees were thankful for those flowers. We even had a very late season monarch come through.
The contrast between the beforeand after hit me in such an incredible way. Just to see the empty expanse of lawn transform into something with such a strong character is awesome. You inspire me to do up my 3rd floor urban verandah into a pollinator paradise. I am going to steal and adapt your design here. Thank you for the inspiration Summer.
So very beautiful I have just gone in the other way a gave up a house and 3 acre garden and move into a one bedroom apartment and took up a 1acre planting bed in a local garden gave away over three hundred house plants over three hundred garden plants that were not hardy here but still have a change in my life I am not giving up on my life as a gardener love every thing you are doing and look forward to seeing it grow thank you for all you do
For a moment I thought that the sander was the sound of one big bee. That garden will be buzzing in Spring. It is already a sanctuary. Loved the garden finishing music. Nice curves. Feng Shui? Next year comes 'the flight of the Bumblebee. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
The sound the bumblebees made on the Anemones before they lost their flowers was DEAFENING (in a good way). Between this and the bulb lawn, we cannot wait for the sound of the bees and other pollinators.
@@FlockFingerLakes Woah! We have Linden.. whatever that is in English? trees.. Maybe Sander knows them...have a nice scent sometimes. White blossoms and I saw at least 4 kinds of honey bees come to make a powerful buzz up there on top. Lots were exhausted? (why? working too hard or carrying too much pollen?) crawling on the ground and my dog stepped on one or more. She got stung and then she was shaking,walking on only 3 legs. It wore off by the time the vet saw her. Next year we will admire all that nature from a distance. We have 2 beekeepers close by... Maybe you should suit up in the Spring with the beekeepers bonnet etc. You have 70,000 bees buying tickets for that concert. But first this message from Winter... 🎄🎇❄️🌬️☃️
I met this channel this week and past the last 3 days watching every single video and I can't believe I'm already caught up to. I'm really invested in you guys's journey and how everything will look like. It's really amazing seeing in 3 days the progress of one year that you've been doing in your property. This is very inspiring and I hope it's something I can do myself someday too. Many thanks (for sharing your amazing journey) and much love from this dreamy 22 yo from Brazil.
I'm teary eyed while watching this. The goal and process of this is so beautiful and giving me hope in the goodness of human and life in general. I dont know huhu💚💚💚✨
Thirty years ago I used stones from my grandparents farm to create areas for my flower gardens. Unfortunately over time the stones sunk into the soil which is something I wanted to share. What I do now is put landscape fabric under my stones and pea gravel areas to hold them up longer. I love collecting stones, especially ones with multi colours or quartz. I think they make a garden more interesting, as well as driftwood. Your projects are on a huge scale and are very impressive to watch. I’m enjoying every minute on this channel. So much fabulous content. (I’m behind on episodes and am watching the oldest ones first).
Saunder's talk on the 'why' behind the paths is just what I needed! Great idea on your thoughts behind your 'dried up river bed' walkway. The level of detail that you guys contribute to the garden and to the filming is just a lovely way to think about the garden and incredible to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for writing in and letting us know your thoughts. We love showing the process behind our thinking and creative decisions, so we're glad you appreciate that too. Hope it brings more inspiration to others!
The driftwood, the path that you crafted with so much love… is truly amazing! Such a delight to turn the corner! Lots of love to you for filling my life with such joy! HUGS!
So pretty Summer!!!! I love your style and tenacity!!! Your my garden hero!!! I can’t wait til spring to see all your hard work come to fruition!!!! 😊💖🌸🌸🌸🌸🌻🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻👋👍
I respect n love the TEAM! I'm in love with the pathway! Those lower plants, colorful-baby-stones, fossils n the tiny skull😁😍 N proud of Sander, Loved it!!
😍 Sander on the Sander! Love all the knowledge you guys bring to gardening it really shows in the looks of it as well. Would you consider sharing the nerdy method of the mentioned spreadsheet in a future video? Sounds very practical.
Love it! Also shout out to whoever puts these video's together! love the choice of music and the drone shots as well as the close up shots of details! Very inspiring to see what ya'll are planting :P
Loved watching it grow... Job well done.. A lot of work yet to be done but you are getting there... Thank you gor sharing... Best of look... Stay safe... Greetings from Croatia...
Beautiful! So many great plants to start and a great space to let the plant collecting begin! Just in time too, for today we have snow. Now we gardeners can rest and pour over seed catalogs and plan winter sowing and projects for spring. Good job.
Yes, we have snow here too. A fairly good dusting. Everything looks beautiful in a cloak of white. And just the other day we started to do some pre-orders for spring plants!
Amazing. I CANNOT wait to see it in the spring. The music was beautiful and the way you filmed the plants in the morning and evening light. Stunning. I just love this channel❤
the gardens in front of the house are coming on beautifully I love watchig yuur chanel and all the different people/farms that you visit keep up the good work
Un hermoso espectáculo ver como cumplen sus metas y experimentan con tan hermosa labor! Si este tipo de contenido, sobre el trabajo comunitario que promueve la cultura y educación llegara a más lugares, seríamos mucho mejores como sociedad
I love it! Thank you for posting names. I saved this video for future idea reference for next spring. Love the rock design with cute little nooks. I created several flower beds around the same time, was planting till the end of October. It was definitely a rush trying to get everything in before a freeze. Still so much space to fill in. Finally finished mulching mid November. We got lucky this year with such a beautiful warm fall. I could just spend hours planting beautiful things but man my body hurts for days after lol 😂 It’s so crazy you look so much like my sister n law definitely a doppelgänger. I had some plants dug up completely also. I think it’s the bio tone they like cuz I had a baby hydrangea they ate the whole bottom off. I think it was my dog or raccoon, not sure. It will be so much fun watching these gardens grow filling in. So beautiful!!
OMG. Lovely! And you have once again produced a wonderful video! The content is very informative and inspires me to get busy with my own stone path, low growing plant, garden. Thanks you!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Me and my dad are doing this this year! We have a fescue problem on our location. Our plans are to densely sow clover in the hopes that the fescue doesn’t return. I’m excited to see how this turns out.
That's interesting. I think these experiments are useful so that others can try/replicate. Sometimes experimentation is not cost-effective, but may be worth it if it works and you can show to others.
I think this is one of my favorite videos of this channel yet, love the plnting and dessigning process. Also i appreciate so much that you gave the name and variety of everything you use!!
Thanks for letting us know. We love to share the creative process behind what we're thinking and showing that. We're not always capturing things every step of the way, so there may be gaps. (Sometimes you just gotta get out there and get the work done!), but love when there is enough of a story to communicate the design process.
What an amazing transformation of this garden! I’ve watched this the very first and it has become my favorite garden you tube channel! I loved every the educational component which you have built into each video. So exciting to watch the evolution......:)
Thanks for the wonderful compliment. So thrilled that you're finding these educational. It's our favorite types of videos to do-because that's how we all grow. Have a lovely day.
For future projects, the lifted turf turned upside down, is perfect material to make a base form for mounds for new beds. It's fairly compact and easy to shape, and it turns into excellent soil fairly fast.
@@FlockFingerLakes Totally missed that😅, but perfect that you used such an valuable resource. It's nearly impossible to stack good planting soil to high stable mounds without supporting structures, but with turf you can.
Pretty! I'd like to increase my garden's biodiversity over time. I get so many weeds in a rock path even with weed fabric under it. I wonder if planting ground covers that can grow in rocks would help crowd out weeds?
I think no matter what you'll get the errant dandelion seed or wild lettuce that comes in and germinates between the cracks and in between the thyme leaves. We will probably be blissfully without weeds here for another year because we took the sod up and put such a dense covering of compost, toposil, sand mix with aged bark mulch, but will likely get the grass and others encroaching on the edges of the bed. Goal though is for this to be so dense with plantings that hopefully folks won't notice the ones that aren't supposed to be there. We'll see!
@@FlockFingerLakes That's true. I'm not so worried about dandelions back there. The spurge takes over everything. I spent hours every day weeding spurge. I'd like to solarize the rock paths this coming year. Hopefully that will help.
Let's see if they can survive in the stones. We planted a related thyme in the neighboring bed that has spread SO well, but time (thyme) will tell if it thrives post-winter.
Instead of sod cutting everything, the landscaper should of have just done the edges and then use the skid steer to shave off the rest of the turf in the center.
why not kill the lawn with black plastic instead of all the sod removal?, The remaining dead sod/soil is reusable as it sits, just get advice on how to plant your next crop in that nice dead root system/humus
Just found this channel. I love it!
I really enjoy following this journey! Sometimes I watch episodes sequentially, other times I hop around based on video title/topic. I live in a suburban condo so I suppose there is a little bit of vicarious living going on, lol, but Thanks for sharing!
The gardens will look even better in the years to come.

It was exciting to see the Sacbiosa and Verbena still in bloom though so late. The bumblebees were thankful for those flowers. We even had a very late season monarch come through.
Let the glory begin!
You guys are transformation artists.
Seeing lawn’s been removed brings a happy tear to my eye 🥲 I hope that more people are inspired to rip out their grass every day!
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! Pollinator and native friendly planting ideas!!! All the love!
That is going to look incredible in the spring! I can't wait to see it in full bloom, you are going to have some very happy pollinators next year.
Considering we did this in fall, we're very exciting to see what it looks like season-round ourselves. We'll be sure to share!
@@FlockFingerLakes start with bubble bees 🐝
Carpenter bees
Lady bugs 🐞
Earthworms 🪱
The honey bees will know the location
I can't wait to see this garden in it's full glory. It will be beautiful! And oh! Sander speaks!
I always, always enjoy a walk through a garden.
4:59 the big black isle is fabulous !

ONE OF MY BIG DREAM TO HAVE A POLLINATOR GARDEN LOOK SO GOOD. GREAT IDEAS YOU HAVE TOO. YOU INSPIRE ME. THANKS FOR SHARING
The driftwood, the path that you crafted with so much love… is truly amazing! Such a delight to turn the corner! Lots of love to you for filling my life with such joy! HUGS!

Awesomely beautiful. And i am breathless looking at it. Just wow!
Hopefully it'll be a more impressive display when it's really in season. :)
"Team work, makes the dream work" Love it guys!❤💛💚
Your local pollinators must love you guys!
That's what we're hoping for.
Speechless. It's great and well planned.
Wow, plant selection, thought process, video, drone views and team work! 💚🌱
I respect n love the TEAM! I'm in love with the pathway! Those lower plants, colorful-baby-stones, fossils n the tiny skull😁😍 N proud of Sander, Loved it!!

Love the vision you three are creating
Summer you must be so excited to bring this to fruition!
And Sander the sander 😜
We are! Cannot wait for next growing season to see the fruits of a fall planting pay off (especially for pollinators).
Love it! Also shout out to whoever puts these video's together! love the choice of music and the drone shots as well as the close up shots of details! Very inspiring to see what ya'll are planting :P
Thanks so much for appreciating the work on all fronts!
Wow spring will be so gorgeous!
Thanks, guys, for another intelligent and inspiring episode.
Thank you for enjoying!

Thanks! Hopefully we can show it in all its glory next year.
Looks good, thanks for the great information and the work you do!
Whatever you focus on... grows
True in every sense of the statement.
3:13 nice re-arrangement. You will have to plan some further "adjustments" in the future. Good motivated start.
Awesome project.!!!
What an amazing and inspirational project to follow!

Remember thymes diner like really rich soil. They need some sand or grit.
Let's see if they can survive in the stones. We planted a related thyme in the neighboring bed that has spread SO well, but time (thyme) will tell if it thrives post-winter.
This is for you

Whole seeds catalog

Can you grow poplars? I think when we removed one in our neighborhood, late seasons pollinators seems more interested in the chrysanthemums
Guess more the magnolicaea type !!! Waxy
How will you protect the new young sprouts from the deer?
When will you get a deer fence and why don’t you start with that?
The deer fence contractors are months behind when they were supposed to install, but we'll be getting it up before the end of the year.
I wish I could go help you guys and get my hands dirty!
is the deer fence up? cause otherwise thats all deer food.
I think it should be deer fence first then the plants... well, that's just me :)
