Absolutely beautiful. And thank you so much for taking the trouble to put all the names for us. It makes a huge difference. I want them all. You gave us a good laugh too.
You never lift for the winter, you never stake stuff. You rip stuff up and just shove it in somewhere else. A gap is an opportunity.
I really love your attitude and your style. 💓
He's the best...more energy than two people put together...love the comment "you might as well be moving furniture" if you're just replacing plants all the time...
funny thing is, he's actually constantly moving plants in his videos. If you're moving perennials he calls it gardening but if you do it more intensively with annuals and bulbs then it's cheating. That's a stupid artificial distinction you're making. The style of Great Dixter superior in every way, because a lot of perennials flower for three weeks while annuals and bulbs like dahlia and cosmos can flower for months. It's simply how labour intensive you want to make it. The more effort you put in, the more result you get.
He moves plants when they are not doing well or not working with the space as planned. That’s far different than replacing a plant that is out of bloom with one in bloom. That was the nuance there.
My goodness! What a gorgeous border! "Gardeners don't have patience." I once planted a row of basil seeds then went out and bought basil plants later that day to also plant. Thanks for sharing your amazing garden.
I learn so much from you describing all the plants, thank you for putting the names on the video, and giving us such great garden inspiration. Love your constant energy! Thank you for making your videos! Hi from Phoenix, Arizona USA
You are a mad scientist in the garden and I love it!! Gorgeous garden!
That's a gorgeous border. Well done. Love your videos. I'm learning a lot.
Really good the way you put the names in the video and in the description.
That is so true. THE BEST
I agree. Its a nice courtesy!
I LOVE it… gives me the opportunity to pause the video and run and get my pen. 🐝🐝🌸🌺
this garden is AWESOME sir! WOW WOW WOW
You’re my kind of gardener. Keep what does well and get rid of problematic plants. Aaaaand no staking. That’s a thing I have always hated doing.
Thanks for the video. 👍
"here's my sitting area" - sits for 1/2 second
*** please note : John sitting was for demonstration purposes only. A truly obsessive gardener should never try to sit, as it can produce anxious feelings .
Hahaha. That's the first time he's sat down in months, I bet.
Isn't that the truth. I spend hours and hours in the garden, but I can't stand to just sit down. Everywhere I look something needs attended to.
🙁 I have to sit. I have such bad arthritis I can only spend about 15 minutes at a time standing. Then I sit a few and start again. I may be out there a couple hours but I have to sit.
I sit on an upside down bucket and continue working. 😉
Yes! This! My husband makes fun of me because I can't sit still when it comes to my garden.
Garden looks fantastic, i love these videos!!
"That's furniture moving - that's not gardening!" - John's thoughts on constantly rearranging a border garden with something new. He sure knows how to tickle this gardener's funny bone. Is Mr Lord an author? If he isn't, he should be. It would certainly make for an entertaining and educational read.
I had to laugh when you said gardeners don’t have patience. I am a gardener with no patience, but truly we must have some considering how I wait for trees and shrubs to grow and flourish, hahah!
Great show.
Thank you so so so much for listing the plants.
Purple loosestrife! Weed! Weed! (North America viewer). Lovely to see it in a garden. My British husband is always trying dig loosestrife out of the ditches and put it in the garden. Interesting to see it can be controlled after all.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Your secret garden brought tears to my eyes with its serenity and beauty (I find the voice of children playing in the distance very serene). I could watch your videos all day! However, if I am to achieve anything remotely close to this, to work I must go!
I love this! It’s great how you put the names of the plants on the video. I never saw anyone else do that!
Bonjour et merci pour ces bons conseils , la mixer border est magnifique ! bravo
Thank you so much for this video and showing us your beautiful garden!!! . I was so confused before about how to create a beautiful border after seeing so many gardens on tv. You clearly explained everything we need to know in just a short video giving the names of all the plants, a bit about them and also information on digging up, dividing and replanting plants. You have given me the confidence now to sort out my own garden and I’ve obviously subscribed and looking forward to watching all your other videos. Such an easy listening guy too. Thank you very much John .
LOVE, your style of gardening. X
Lovely garden too many textures love it !!
Great to watch and very informative Thanks.
Thanks John for showing us around your boarders. I am late this year setting up my front garden as not only did we have a month of rain in June I have been finishing off my back garden when weather has permitted. I am trying to get some ideas for the front now even thought it will be rather late planting hopefully I can get some autumn/winter colour out there got a few ideas so thanks a lot.
It is beautiful, John. I especially love the rodgersia. It was also nice to see you sit down and enjoy the result of your work, even if it was only for 1.5 seconds. :) as always, thank you to John, David, and Teddy .
Thanks for the border tour, the practical tips and insight into how you think through design. Great video!
Love your border Thank you John for sharing with us all.
It looks like a beautiful painting .😍
Such a lovely garden, love the natural feel and that you let the plants grow and do their thing. I’m in Texas in the US and appreciate beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing, just perfect!
I love your garden tours!
Verbascum grows wild in Greece. The flowers are yelow and I remember from my childhood my grandma used to pick a tiny flaky part of the flower which she used to put in a glass filled with half water and half olive oil. Then she part from verbascum flower would float on the oil inside the glass and I think she put a kind of tiny string through it and then light it in the night. Then she would hung that on a special hook from the ceiling with icons of Saints around the corner of the wall. She called it The kantili, or candle. It had to be lit all night to keep the bad spirits away.
Love Thalictrums. My favorite for the flower and foliage is T Rochebrunianum. I believe its one of the parent's of T Elin.
Funny I was thinking the same about Daylillies. Just get too untidy late in the season.
I've also started growing more hardy geranium varieties after watching your videos. Especially Rozanne and Ann Thomson.
Lovely garden, an it's not cheating if you're trying to make the previous flower happier. Glad you showed up in my feed, I've enjoyed watching an will go check out your other videos.
You have a stunning garden enjoyed watching.
A gardener who just loves his plants! Thanks for sharing, your border looks lush and vibrant!
You are such an inspiration, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Wish you were here doing some magic in my garden 🇨🇦
Gorgeous border and LOVED your sense of humor!
Thank you so much John. Glad I just found you. You are so knowledgeable and you make it fun. Thank you again and I surely appreciate the name listing in the video and then again in the description...Sending you love and appreciation from the USA🏄🏽♀️🏄🏽♀️🏄🏽♀️
Displaying all the names was incredibly helpful and i will be referring back to this video plenty! Thank you for showing us this amazing garden!
Really beautiful. I get so much inspiration out of your videos. Thank you for doing this!
When we move to this little farm in PA there was loosestrife in one wet spot. It was so beautiful. It went away and never came back.
I found your channel as a. Complete gardening novice, I’m staying & subscribing for 2 other reasons the first is your adorable doggie 😉 the other is you completely hectic scatter brain personality 😂 thank u for sharing
What a beautiful garden !!!
So happy for your choice to not interfere with the wasps home x
Live and let live I say x

Hi, I just came across your vid for the first time! Love watching your placement process and now I want to plant some more plants for color and texture interest. Love your vids! 😀
You have my dream garden! Your garden is absolutely motivational. We are getting out of animals and more into gardening as we retired and I just fell in love with what you have done !
The achillias wont be floppy for long.
I have a lilac one which has spread nicely and flowers til winter.
Lovely garden and oh so natural looking.😊Jo from New Zealand
Never too much phlox 😁. Such a pretty border
I have an almost identical border, lots of similar perennials, tried and tested but I also include lots of tall lilies. Displaying the names is very helpful.
Your description of Hemerocallis is spot on!
A beautiful testiment of a no-stake boarder! I am intrigued as i have experimented a lot with companion planting to self support and selective pruning but the powdery mildew is still the challenge. And how to eliminate lower leaf die back caused by crowding out the light.
I notice he doesn't have balloon flower. No freakin' way you can leave that unsupported. There are some things that you just need to stake if you want them.
@@snu3877 if it doesn’t stand up he doesn’t have it in the garden 😂
Nice to see someone moves plants around as much as me! And patience is overrated! Lol
Me too. Hoping the neighbours wont think I am mad. 😉
So lovely. I could listen to him all day!
Just discovered your channel and spent this video pausing to add plants you mentioned to my gardening Pinterest board. Thank you for some lovely ideas! X
😂😂😂 “That’s furniture moving”! The wasp 🐝 will NOT chase you around. 😂
I love the way you tell us the name of every plant and also display it for us. I’ve written down all my favourites and I’m hoping to add some to my new wide border.👍❤️🌸🌺🌻🌻🌸🐝🐝🐞🕷🪰🦋
Love your combinations with the perennials. I’m in similar climate as Ireland in pacific N.W. you’ve given me great ideas. You have more energy than anyone I’ve ever seen in the garden. I believe we share the same style with plants and their residency in the garden, trimming, placement, etc. Have family in the Ballinasloe area. We have family reunions there occasionally. Cheers, John!
Thanks for that
Lovely video, it makes me want bigger borders🙄😀
Absolutely gorgeous! 💕💕💕
I love the garden and really appreciate you putting the names on the screen so as I watched I searched the ones I want.
I move furniture but not like my plants lol I laughed when you said that … so funny … I only move to thin out or if the plant is not suited … love the garden thank you 😊
Looks great!! good info!! I learn a lot watching your vids..
I'm about to move into a new house with a 400m2 garden which needs completely redone, I can base my plans on your wonderful videos thank you.
Fabulous. I am from Newfoundland. Love the accent and knowledge.
Wonderful garden 🌸
lovely border, thx for sharing!
The evening primrose growers wild here in my garden and along the road side in the state of Pennsylvania. I love your accent...Louisa
Love thos video, really helpful, thank you.... new subscriber here 😁 thanks for showing names of the plants
just beautiful!❤💚💙
Thanks for sharing your herbaceous border. Really inspiring!
One side note. Verbena bonariensis is a really nice plant but discovered that its too invasive here in our NW US climate with wet winters and dry summers. One plant last year produced literally scores of seedlings with very strong roots.
I have to see if that dahlia is available locally. I have never grown them but now inspired by your recomendation.
You oughta see what it does in the southeast USA! THOUSANDS of seedlings! I cull what I don't want and let a few dozen plants mature. It's a great nectar source for swallow tail and gulf frittilary butterflies...
I think it was one of the bishop dahlias . Theres a series of 6. Bishop of Canterbury, Llanaff or something. K
John, it seems one of my favorite plants always gets overlooked, seldom mentioned: bronze rodgersia! I don’t have any, yet, I’m my garden because the flower shops never have them, or seldom have them. They do grow and n my zone 7 here in the US south. Next spring I’m gonna give it a go and incorporate it throughout the garden and see if it can find some happiness somewhere....
John, Hello from Wales. I follow your TH-cams and enjoy them a lot. Thanks for posting them. The herbaceous border looks fantastic. I learn a lot from your inimitable teaching style. Please would you do a TH-cam post showing us all how you remove dead foliage from a crown on a sedge type plant with browned/tatty foliage, e.g. Hemorocalis
John John, I love it!
Thank you so much! Phlox and deer just don't work well together but I do love them.
I love the way you move your plants around until you get the perfect place. New to your videos. Need advice on planting around my white picket fence here in Charleston, SC. Thank you😊
LOL we got hour purple loosestrife and you got our skunk cabbage. I do so enjoy your videos.
Lovely herbaceous border 👍
Genial, me encanta la varidad de flores, quisiera tenerlas todas en mi jardin del Cajón del Maipo Maipo.
It's a really beautiful garden John. You should travel to Corfu,Greece in April and May. You won't believe the ambundance of wild flowers.
Looks fantastic 👏
I love that red Potentilla.
Just stumbled onto your channel, wow! I can't wait till our covid restrictions lift and we can travel a little further. Will definitely be making a trip, you're not too far away
Agree, love the plant notations.
.And they would make their unhappiness known in the traditional way...😆 Thank you for your respect for them. 🌎 Beautiful space!
I had to get rid of all my Hemerocallis because of gall midge .Alstroemerias are far better in every way.John has got it bang on when he says get the middle tall varieties. Great video
Great information again, so glad it isn't just me that has trouble with slugs and Lupins, as I don't use slug pellets or pesticides so giving up on them
Gorgeous!
LOVE John!! Interesting: here in Michigan, the Thalictrum (meadow rue) wants shade to full shade. I just learned why I'm not a good gardener: I don't like to cut things back, it feels like I'm hurting the plants. "give them freedom!" I think, perhaps erroneously.
Loving it!
Beautiful .
Какой Вы энтузиаст своего дела - это просто невероятно! Мне очень импонирует Ваша увлеченность садовыми растениями. Я тоже ими занимаюсь, но нет сравнения с Вами.😍👏👍🌈🌞🌹🎓
You don't have too much phlox sir. That color and height is the highlight of this area. And you said u don't have problems with mildew ! I envy you.
you're an artist
Wow! I've just discovered a true artist!
so beautiful!!! I want a border like yours! but I have a mediterranean weather :( too hot for them....
Love it!
💜🌺🌼🌸GORGEOUS 🌸🌼🌺💜
I LOVE THIS GUY! 🌿
Well thank you that explains that.....patience. I have a moonshine in my garden!
