I love this, Michelle. Each perennial choice is a plant I love. I’m so glad you showed the flat view or the overhead. That really helped me see how to shift the plants around. You’re awesome! Great work!
Awesome! I appreciate your knowledge so much. It's obvious you aren't just another influencer. Your willingness to teach and the effort you put into these videos are phenomenonal!
I love this. I bought a section of pasture land from the farmer who neighbors my property. I had it all cleared/fenced and am putting everything in from scratch. I've been looking for a great border planting and the planting diagram is so helpful. I love that you include these in your videos. It is one of the things that sets you videos apart from the rest. This border is just lovely. Another great video!
Thanks for showing the importance of getting the utilities lines marked out. This is a great teaching video with understandable explanations of the why you are doing things for the desired effect .
SOoooo helpful to see. Thank you for sharing. I live in zone 6a SE, Michigan and love watching all of your videos. Very informative with examples for shrubs and perennials I find useful as I begin to build out new beds along several feet of fence line.
Michelle, if i already have mulch down can i sprinkle the pre-emergent on top of the mulch? What is best way to apply if not? Thanks for another great video. Its gorgeous! 😊
Hi Michelle, great job! I’m struggling with a situation like this. We have a long narrow backyard with a three foot wide bed. I’ve added many shrubs and perennials, and now realize there’s not enough room and I didn’t do a good job at color blocking. I’m probably too close to the ugly chain link fence too, but new fencing is not in the budget this year. My question is is it too late in the season to dig and move items? My fear is that they may still be fragile since I just planted them in June and July. I have everything from beauty berries to hydrangeas to lemony lace elderberries to catmint. I did at least plant the arborvitae and arrow juniper along the back so those won’t need moves. Advice? I’m in 6b Columbus Ohio. Thanks, Michelle!
I am an American living in France. When I lived in the US, I always used a pre-emergent with mulch in all of my flowerbeds and it worked great. However, I have been unable to purchase a pre-emergent here in France as it is banned due to environmental concerns. I looked in Germany, Spain, etc. but cannot purchase something like Preen (which is what I used to use in the US). Is there something you can recommend for perhaps a home-made, organic pre-emergent that is non-toxic that I might be able to make myself here in France? I have a very large area and am losing the weed battle in all of my flower beds. I really do not want to put down yards and yards of weed mat. Thanks in advance for your help!
Very helpful! It’s killing my back watching that poor guy with the dark hoodie using a shovel with such a short handle. Pls get him a drill with an auger or at least a shovel with a taller handle!
I observed you use pre-emergent plus mulch instead of landscape material. Comments perhaps. Personally, I don't like it as I change plants and don't enjoy that barrier.
I have a very nosy and attached neighbor (side by side duplex) this will be perfect to put in the middle of the front lawn for privacy so she can stop watching us when we're in our driveway etc. I'm in Massachusetts and I'm thinking some type of Holly and Arborvitae with tall grasses. Any recommendations for evergreens, grasses or shrubs under 25 ft tall? Thank you.

Thanks so much!
This was excellent Michelle. I have never used pre-emerge before and maybe now I can give it a try.
Awesome! I appreciate your knowledge so much. It's obvious you aren't just another influencer. Your willingness to teach and the effort you put into these videos are phenomenonal!
I appreciate that!
I’d love to see this bed in one year. ❤
Looks great! I really like the interest those black panels add to their fence.
Me too
Awesome job! And your clear explanations of plant placement and the overhead layout diagram were excellent! Many thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

This looks beautiful! Lucky homeowner!
If you didn't enjoy hands on gardening so much, you would have made a superb teacher of future landscape artists. What a dynamic instructional videos.
Wow, thank you

You're pretty good at this, lol. That's a great use of space in a skinny garden bed!
Looks neat and well thought out, and surely when it fills in it will look fabulous. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍❤️🙂
My pleasure 😊
I needed this video ! It’s amazing how a person can be gifted in decorating their home and have zero ability in the garden 😢 that is me
Lots of good information. Thank you!

I have been gardening for years more than I care to say but I always learn something new. Love your videos.
Glad you like them!
Beautiful job, thanks

You’re really a pro! Sometimes it’s great to go over details when you don’t do it very often
Love the plant selections!! Skinny bed?hmmmm. Bed looks beautiful!❤
Haha. That is up for debate. Right?
Nice!

Michelle, if i already have mulch down can i sprinkle the pre-emergent on top of the mulch? What is best way to apply if not? Thanks for another great video. Its gorgeous! 😊
Yes. Then water it in.
Or do it right before it rains

Yes you can move them. Just keep them watered and water until the ground freezes
Beautiful! I do have questions - did you sprinkle fertilizer snd pre emergent weed killer? What type of mulch did you use? Thank you!
Yes. And it is a dark walnut pallet mulch.
Use an empty tuna fish can to measure water
After you apply the Wilt Stop for winter protection do you need to do anything in the spring to take it off or does it just wear off over time?
Nope. Just wears off
What pre-emergent do you use and how?
Snapshot. You broadcast spread it and then water it in or do it right before it rains
Is Berry Awesome, the hardiest Hibiscus ever? I live in NS Canada and really need the hardiest Hibiscus to get through the Canadian winters.
Well I cannot speak for where you live. It is rated to zone 4

I have zero knowledge or experience in that area. I am sorry.
@@gardeningTLC No worries. Thanks for getting back to me.

My guys choose the tools they want to use. We have tons to choose from they know what they are doing.

I generally do not use landscape fabric unless I am putting down rock

Oh my the list is long. There are tons. I would google it or go to your countys extension office to get a list for what is best in your area.
