Trust me when I say that anyone who is watching this video is definetely "not bored." Don't apologize for teaching. :) As someone who just likes to plant without planning, this is a great video. Thankyou.
“I’m going to go quickly here because I don’t want to bore you”! Are you kidding?? This is the best video on garden design I’ve ever watched! Can’t wait for the sequel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience in such a clear, easy to follow way x
I'm a Master Gardener and have taken garden design courses before but this is the best explanation of how to start a plan that I have seen. I'm going to follow your process to revamp some of my spaces this year. So helpful! Especially love the practical aspects you incorporated in (wind screens, keeping a view of neighbor's trees, filling the low spots). In my earlier plans, it was always about the plants I wanted but I can see how your process will really help enhance what I've already started. Thank you for posting this!
@Stephanie...you’re so humble and great comment...I didn’t know how to understand this vid and wondered what a ‘master’ opinion would be...I was pleasantly relieved a comment from a ‘master.’ T y for your encouragement.
This is so helpful and encouraging!!! Thank you!!! I feel overwhelmed. I am looking at a blank slate, which is good and bad. It is good because I can theoretically do many things, but it is bad because I do not know how to get started. Your video has helped me so much!! I love that you said think big but start small. Just talking about doing the site survey and then a site plan help to focus me on how to start. Getting started is so difficult if you are a total novice like myself. Thank you so much!! I look forward to screening more of your videos!! You are a wonderful teacher!! 😀
While not anything amazing presented here, this was SO HELPFUL just to see how basic the planning can be. Makes the “thinking big” seem so much more manageable. Thank you!
EXCELLENT! This video is equal parts instructional and informational for the average home gardener looking to transform a yard into a beautiful, functional and safe home oasis! Thank you so very much for this series on Garden Design!
Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this. The learning curve of gardening is high and there is a lot of money wasted trying things out without a plan. I really appreciate your time and thoughts!
Hi Impatient Gardener, just wanted to say a big thanks for mentioning this video in one of your videos! I love it and I love your channel too! I’m learning so much and enjoying the ride!
Yeah! This is what I've been looking for on TH-cam for 2 years. I have lots of books (John Brookes, Thomas Church, etc), but love to see it in action and with new ideas) Thank you!! Love that you said "Think big, start small."
When I first started my total gardening immersion, I made the classic rookie error of buying 1 or 2 of every plant that caught my eye. I think it’s a right of passage! ....It took me about 2 years of trying in vain to make them all work before I dug every single one up to start again. A LOT of hard work but so worth it in the end. 😎
Oh boy, how I needed this one! I’ve designed several gardens I thought were acceptable but , once again, you’ve shown me an easier, smarter way! I could listen to you all day. You have a lovely presence! I’m loving this series! I have my platt and ready to get started. I’m 78 but still very active and can’t wait to actually get started. I’ll be a little slower getting it done but will try to keep up once we get to actually doing the work!
I'm a U of Rhode Island Master Gardener and very much wanting to redesign my yard on my own. Just had my septic replaced which caused a massive amount or destruction to both my yard & landscaping. I really needed this info to help me better plan my new landscape. Thank you so much for this series. This is super helpful!!!!
Brilliant and oh so practical! I love how you stressed that...towards the end. Initially, as beginners we are so excited but quickly overwhelm ourselves by stuffing a bunch of plants in hoping to create the beautiful space but totally forget to prioritize safety, structure, and practicality! And it helps that you have a calm and soothing tone. Thanks Yulia!
I got the key to a huge garden three days ago and looking forward to starting work, but am also nervous, because it is my first. This is helping a lot. Thanks for your work 💚
I am renovating a little cottage on the Baltic in Sweden and have spent the last couple of years renovating the cabin and the front garden. But the back yard is what I want to tackle and it is completely wild with an elevation and a lot of large diverse trees. So this design process is exactly what I was looking for. Excited.
A garden to me is an oasis of nature, a place to escape. This is different than a flower bed, like the front of most homes. A garden is usually away from the road, a place that you can sit surrounded by your favorite plants. Thank you for talking about the water around the house. One mistake I made when designing my garden and flower beds was not thinking of the soil grade. We had recently bought the house and didn't realize how much standing water there was around the foundation because the soil had settled so much (despite all the downspouts being previously extended). Before planting or bringing in gravel, etc. it is really important to first bring the soil level up around the foundation. In my case, I had to go back and fix things after I already had everything in place. That made everything much more difficult.
Yes, water can really damage the foundation. I actually had the same problem next to our kitchen and after we fixed it I planted some hollies and other plants knowing I can sleep peacefully at night 😁
Y Garden ...interesting...how do you get someone stubborn to understand that?? It makes me cry that someone doesn’t take it seriously...I do not want an Amazon rain forest...I would like a garden...
I wish this series was around when I started! I have some green giants that the previous owner planted kind of randomly that could be transplanted and repurposed as a screen between us and a very nosy neighbor. Thanks for making these.
Oh my gosh, this segment is GOLDEN! It was so simple, yet packed with valuable, helpful information for a homeowner to go about designing or redesigning their garden. I can see the magic of doing these steps. This is timely for me because we moved to a new state with 1 acre+ property. Because this will be my second garden from scratch, I know the pitfalls as a plant lover wanting to get to the doing of the planting. This video has helped encouraged me to draw things out. I can't wait to see more. Thank you again for all of your help!
It's very helpful to see someone else work out a rough drawing, that's all I can do, so I don't overthink the process. It doesn't have to be a finished product right off your first drawing. Just get something down to get started. Thank you Yuliya!
Last night, I found your garden design videos-parts 1-3-and stayed up until the wee hours of the morn watching them all. Thank you so much!!! I keep plants/flowers alive, but I’ve never designed a yard before. We purchased a new-to-us home 5 years ago, and I’ve spent the past 3 years UNxeriscaping it so that I could plant flowers. With your encouragement, I spent hours this morning wandering through and sketching my garden/forest-just like you explained and am more excited than overwhelmed for the first time in years. Thank you!!!
Thank you, Yuliya! Moved to this house last August, arborist assessed, trimmed, and fertilized trees. I drew my site survey and am creating my program. So, your video came at the perfect time for me. Again, thank you very much!
Love this! I'm a gardener, but I do tend to just throw things in haphazardly without a plan. I'm moving to a new home, and plan to use your suggestions. Can't wait to see the rest of this series!
OMG!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is a basics of landscape design! Thank you, I can start now with planning how to even start designing my garden. I hope that you will continue this lesson, please😏!
Brilliant, so inspiring! I'm that gardener who goes out and buys lots of plants and excitedly puts them in the ground with no plan... after watching your video, I'm going to sit down and master a garden plan! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video Yuliya! You are such a good teacher. I wish 8 yrs ago when I started gardening this series was out. I was the fire in the belly type. Worked too hard for little reward. Put plants in wrong conditions and didnt pay attention to mature size. But over the years I've figured it out but again had to over work and move plants to better conditions and appropriate places for their size. I started more formal but have evolved to more natives and a more wild look which is much easier and great for the pollinators. Thanks Yuliya😊
Thank you Yulia for the series, now I can have a foundation to built my garden design ideas. I spend soo much time agonizing over where and how I would place things in that "hazy" vision I have for my garden, lol, flower beds, walkways, etc. With your clear instructions and hands on explanation, I believe that both I and my garden will be in a better place.
Definitely not boring us! I’m also a master gardener and this makes so much more sense to me. I knew these ideas in my head but couldn’t articulate it. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for starting this series!! The basics of garden design is something I never learned and I'm realizing how important it really is. After years of doing it the wrong way it may take awhile to correct my mistakes but I look forward to taking on this challenge and improving my property. What an incredible journey this will be. Thanks again for creating this!!
This is absolutely the BEST - you're a great teacher! Already I have more of an understanding & appreciation for the scope of what a landscape designer does for their clients. I've never seen this side of the business before & find this incredibly fascinating! So excited - can't wait for more videos! Thank you for your time in making this series for us - you're a true friend to all your subscribers. Hugs from Florida!
Wow! Amazed at how quickly you broke out the space and wrote out the garden plan! definitely can see the professional hand. Also, very interesting perspective - to start with "vision garden" and "features" - like shade space, screen or just "beautiful wall" designation - i definitely see value in this approach, makes it easier to see bigger picture and not get lost in what type of plans to put where right from the start
Oh my. You are absolutely amazing. I am your example of Willy nilly - put the plant someone gave you into the ground. Whew. I am so grateful you are willing to share your education.
Wow! Very helpful! Fixing to move into new house with a large ft garden space. Not liking many plants in it. But, I must wait till spring to even know what surprise plants are in there. Can’t wait to get started. Have seedlings started & will be ready to go to work. This really did help me. I can draw plans now. 🎉 I will be able to make a plan.
This video has been extremely useful for me. We have quite a large garden in the UK that completely wraps around out house with well established plants and the like. We don't get what a previous occupant was trying to achieve and trying to put our own stamp on things. All the books i've brought and read just deal with a handful of designs that don't fit out garden type and we're left not knowing how to get started. This also shows me that i need not learn a modelling software just to plan my garden, so time saved there and reinvested back into the garden. Thanks.
Very informative. Very well structured presentation. How I wish we would have seen this 44 years ago when we would have been able to afford more and physically been able to do more. We are on just under one acre...alot to figure out....alot to do..... little by little.....so one can enjoy the process and each other and the yard..... Many will benefit from these programs. Thank you for the time you have put into all of this. We also watch , Garden Answer, which encourages design and flow, but also like you, they don't charge into a project.
Thank you so much!! I have struggled for years on how or where to start on my property now I can learn from you. Can’t wait to see what’s next. This video was a great idea. 🦋💕
Don’t worry about going fast! I LOVE this video. This is what I’m looking for. I’m wanting to go back to school maybe or get some certification for landscaping. I’m starting with projects at home but don’t know where to start. So thank you!
Oh my, this is wonderful!!!! My back yard as a whole is sooo very tired looking. I started a new flower bed during the winter. It’s empty and I’m still fighting a couple weeds. I’m zone 8. I ALWAYS buy plants first then prep a spot, and there you go! I want a proper garden and this is amazing. You are so very talented and you explain it so well. Now I just need to find my pencil! 😝🧐😍
This was so incredibly helpful! You described the process in the best, easiest, most doable way I’ve seen - and I’ve been at this a while. I was getting so bogged down in actual dimensions and stumbling block problems that the creative problem solving of the Site Analysis fell by the wayside. Thanks so much for sharing this with us! 💚
@C Olsen ...your comment was encouraging...you mentioned what bogged you down...I must mentioned what bogged me down...imagination-none- I had a dream but reality won. Your comment was great! T y!
Being one of those gardeners who traditionally goes out there and buys a bunch of plants to put around my house, this is so helpful. I’m a recent convert to raingardens though, so when you mentioned low spot my immediate thought was, oooh, perfect location for one! I take the point of your lesson though, to analyse the lay of the land. Thanks (but raingarden! 😉).
Hi there, happy gardening! As a designer myself I have done many many homes and rooms and now ready to work on the outdoors. Your video was great! Really explained the area as well. I had never heard or seen anybody explain this like you do. Ready for the next video. Thank you
I just bought a land plot where I am planning to build a tiny house and then to design my garden. Thank you very much for this video. It is extremely useful! I loved it.
So hard to find "actual" garden design lessons for those of us interested in space planning to enhance the flow, visualization & use of our gardens. So far I am beyond delighted with this first lesson & cannot wait to few all of your videos. Thank you so much!!
@@ydoyougarden It was, as were the other parts. I'm buying a house with a large unkempt garden in England, so your process has helped me to understand what it is that I want to do, as well as making me realize that I need professional help!
Thank you, this is SUCH an amazing explanation of the process, so much more substantive than youtube tends to be, and so much easier to understand than when I've tried to read books on the subject. I am soaking this up like a sponge, I cannot wait to apply it to my own garden!
I have a good sized garden laid all to lawn at present and it goes all the way around my bungalow. I have been excited and very, VERY daunted by starting a design for improving the garden and as a result I haven't started yet. I loved your video and have now subscribed. I actually feel that maybe I will be able to do this with your tutorials and feel more excited than daunted. I'll start this weekend. Thank you for inspiring me to have a go at last. I look forward to watching part 2 when I have completed my 'homework' from part 1. x
I have just started an Advanced Certificate in Garden Design. I have been a florist in Adelaide South Australia for 30+ years.I am an avid gardener and wanted to further my design and gardening skills. Your videos are very helpful and enjoyable to watch. I will keep watching. Thank you!
Y, This is awesome! I have found other You-Tubers who have covered or cover this topic, but I soon fade out or change the video. While my garden is a work in progress, I have installed many features without making a plan. However, I did consider many of the elements you are covering. And the way you are going about planning will help me greatly as I improve my space. Thanks!!!!
Trust me when I say that anyone who is watching this video is definetely "not bored." Don't apologize for teaching. :) As someone who just likes to plant without planning, this is a great video. Thankyou.
“I’m going to go quickly here because I don’t want to bore you”! Are you kidding?? This is the best video on garden design I’ve ever watched! Can’t wait for the sequel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience in such a clear, easy to follow way x
Wish I had watched this video a few years ago. Excellent content!

Goodness...awesome video! So well explained. Thank you..looking forward to part 2!!! 🌷🌸❤
Thank you so much Stephanie! that means a lot to me.
Best design class I’ve seen. I’m a Indiana master gardener and naturalist. Glad you use native plantings.
@Stephanie...you’re so humble and great comment...I didn’t know how to understand this vid and wondered what a ‘master’ opinion would be...I was pleasantly relieved a comment from a ‘master.’ T y for your encouragement.

This is so helpful and encouraging!!! Thank you!!! I feel overwhelmed. I am looking at a blank slate, which is good and bad.

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this. The learning curve of gardening is high and there is a lot of money wasted trying things out without a plan. I really appreciate your time and thoughts!
As soon as you wrote “Norway maple” I knew that tree was not long for this world. 😀 Very interesting to watch your process. Thank you.
Yes for that Norway. You crack me up I P Gardener. Looking forward to part 2.
Ha ha! Norway Maples belong in Norway 😁 Thank you! I know this process is not super glamorous but essential 😁
Hi Impatient Gardener, just wanted to say a big thanks for mentioning this video in one of your videos! I love it and I love your channel too! I’m learning so much and enjoying the ride!
I am a landscape designer, too. You did a fantastic job with this video. Your explanation was so clear, and your advice was spot-on!
Yeah! This is what I've been looking for on TH-cam for 2 years. I have lots of books (John Brookes, Thomas Church, etc), but love to see it in action and with new ideas) Thank you!! Love that you said "Think big, start small."
Happy to help :)
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Just what I had hoped for. I am starting my homework 📚.
Ha ha, gotta love homework :)

Sometimes it's great to learn from experience but it's better to learn from other people's mistakes. I have killed my share of plants too 😂😂
Excellent. Most engaging garden design video I've watched. Natural teacher!
I loved this video! Not boring at all. I’m excited to learn more. Thanks so much.
Nice
Very helpful! Can’t wait for the other videos. Thank you!

Thanks for all the great tips and info Yuliya!
Oh this is awesome. More please. I’m super excited to get a plan on paper.
I got a huge grin when I saw this was up. Yay!!! You’re so cute.. “who knows?!?” 🤣 I cant wait to see where this goes.
Ha ha! that's what happens when you have an 'imaginary' property to work with 😂
This is better than content you have to pay for. Absolutely amazing, thank you
You're very welcome!
Я в восторге! Так доходчиво и абсолютно применимо на практике. Благодарю! Буду смотреть следующие видео
Спасибо!!!

Yuliya, You are wonderful!! Thank you for this garden design series! So much helpful consideration and information.
Wow! Very helpful! Fixing to move into new house with a large ft garden space. Not liking many plants in it.
But, I must wait till spring to even know what surprise plants are in there. Can’t wait to get started. Have seedlings started
& will be ready to go to work.
This really did help me. I can draw plans now. 🎉
I will be able to make a plan.
Excellent!
very helpful, thank you. I have to restrain myself, I just want to plant flowers.
Ha ha! Same here! I am much more disciplined when designing for others than in my own yard 😂

Don’t worry about going fast! I LOVE this video. This is what I’m looking for. I’m wanting to go back to school maybe or get some certification for landscaping. I’m starting with projects at home but don’t know where to start. So thank you!
Oh my, this is wonderful!!!! My back yard as a whole is sooo very tired looking. I started a new flower bed during the winter. It’s empty and I’m still fighting a couple weeds. I’m zone 8. I ALWAYS buy plants first then prep a spot, and there you go! I want a proper garden and this is amazing. You are so very talented and you explain it so well. Now I just need to find my pencil! 😝🧐😍
Thank you so much! I was so nervous working on this video. Sometimes I just don't know if I am making any sense 😂😂😂
@Lisa Walters...great comment...your well chosen emojis stated it all...lol
I love your video! Thank you. Bring more! Happy gardening and designing.
This was so incredibly helpful! You described the process in the best, easiest, most doable way I’ve seen - and I’ve been at this a while. I was getting so bogged down in actual dimensions and stumbling block problems that the creative problem solving of the Site Analysis fell by the wayside. Thanks so much for sharing this with us! 💚
O my gosh ! thank you so much, I was so nervous not knowing if I explained it ok 😊
@C Olsen ...your comment was encouraging...you mentioned what bogged you down...I must mentioned what bogged me down...imagination-none- I had a dream but reality won. Your comment was great! T y!
Excellent
Yay! So glad you are doing this series. I moved into my house about a year ago and I need to develop a better plan. This will help so much!
Perfect!
Being one of those gardeners who traditionally goes out there and buys a bunch of plants to put around my house, this is so helpful. I’m a recent convert to raingardens though, so when you mentioned low spot my immediate thought was, oooh, perfect location for one! I take the point of your lesson though, to analyse the lay of the land. Thanks (but raingarden! 😉).
Excellent!
Thank You so much, now I know what to do .
I've been looking for this lesson for close to 2 years now. Thank you so much! Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
You have made a complex process seem less intimidating! You’re a good teacher and a very generous professional. Thx for sharing!
Thank you so much! This is so helpful. I don't feel so overwhelmed by the huge project and endless choices. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi there, happy gardening! As a designer myself I have done many many homes and rooms and now ready to work on the outdoors. Your video was great! Really explained the area as well. I had never heard or seen anybody explain this like you do. Ready for the next video. Thank you
I just bought a land plot where I am planning to build a tiny house and then to design my garden. Thank you very much for this video. It is extremely useful! I loved it.
Best of luck!
Very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
That sunlight. Wow. Great production.
So hard to find "actual" garden design lessons for those of us interested in space planning to enhance the flow, visualization & use of our gardens. So far I am beyond delighted with this first lesson & cannot wait to few all of your videos. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Loved this video! Can't wait to watch the next! I would love more detail! You didn't bore me at all!
Very useful, loved it!
Very informative, thanks!
Glad it was helpful Graham!
@@ydoyougarden It was, as were the other parts. I'm buying a house with a large unkempt garden in England, so your process has helped me to understand what it is that I want to do, as well as making me realize that I need professional help!
I’ve wanted something like this. I want to add to my garden, things like pathways and whatnot. Thank you. 😊
Thank you, this is SUCH an amazing explanation of the process, so much more substantive than youtube tends to be, and so much easier to understand than when I've tried to read books on the subject. I am soaking this up like a sponge, I cannot wait to apply it to my own garden!
I have a good sized garden laid all to lawn at present and it goes all the way around my bungalow. I have been excited and very, VERY daunted by starting a design for improving the garden and as a result I haven't started yet.
I loved your video and have now subscribed. I actually feel that maybe I will be able to do this with your tutorials and feel more excited than daunted. I'll start this weekend.
Thank you for inspiring me to have a go at last. I look forward to watching part 2 when I have completed my 'homework' from part 1. x
One step at a time 😊☺️
I have just started an Advanced Certificate in Garden Design. I have been a florist in Adelaide South Australia for 30+ years.I am an avid gardener and wanted to further my design and gardening skills. Your videos are very helpful and enjoyable to watch. I will keep watching. Thank you!
Y, This is awesome! I have found other You-Tubers who have covered or cover this topic, but I soon fade out or change the video. While my garden is a work in progress, I have installed many features without making a plan. However, I did consider many of the elements you are covering. And the way you are going about planning will help me greatly as I improve my space. Thanks!!!!
That sounds great!
