I collecting hostas. Its nice to see companion plants
you're just good vibes, Amanda. Learned a lot from your channel. Thanks for the tour
What zone are you in?
Thank you for saying “by accident” and not “on accident”
So nice to see some plants to go with my Astilbe and Hostas!
Beautiful
As a gardener I am constantly trying to rescue people's gardens that have been overtaken by Aegopodium – not sure where you live but in Zone 8 it is highly invasive! Goes into the native forest too and takes over. You can leave the Astilbe blooms on and they dry out into a beautiful brown stalk that looks good in winter!
Please say clearly all the names mam, could not understand some of the names you pronounce.
That garden is beautiful! Shade gardens are my favourite. And epimedium is my all time favourite plant. Love your videos. You've taught me so much about indoor plants. So happy to see I can follow you outside!!
Plant People really have a certain Happiness about them 🙂
I like astilbe plants a lot. 😍
Love your garden and the great advice. One caution though, the Aegopodium is extremely invasive and difficult to get rid of.
Love the dense planting. Would love ideas on how to get a lot of plants on a budget.
Please do not plant Bishops Weed! It's exceptionally aggressive and spreads via roots, rhizomes, and seed. It will take over your entire yard, and your neighbors'… thanks!
I thought banana plants need like six hours of sunlight a day? Terrific video and I’m just trying to plan an area in my zone five.
Did you have dirt brought in? Is there mess to prevent weeds from coming in. I would love to do a shade garden but find I already spend so much time weeding the flower garden around the house I don't think I'll have the time to keep a shade garden looking good. Tips are appreciated!
Bishops weed….Once planted, it can be nearly impossible to eradicate
Oh how I want to plant this! Such a beautiful and calming garden.
Love this video! I live in the foothills of the Cascades in Washington and have lots of shade! So this shade garden recipe is perfect!
Won't deer eat hostas? How tall will Lady Fern get??
What zone is this?
My deer devour my impatiens sooo quickly if I forget to spray them even one day with my cayenne concoction. Any substitute ideas??
Links don't work for me
