  1. I like the fence and gate the most. The garden is nice, but clearly your neighbors don't share your vision since they actually have grass. These types of gardens just don't belong is such close proximity to other houses.

  2. 🤯 Mind blown. This has drastically altered my entire garden world view. Now I have to go re-evaluate all my past, present and future garden choices 😂💕

  3. That is one of the most interesting small garden/jungles I have ever seen. I absolutely love it. Thank you so mush for the 29:30 tour. — Mount Shasta, CA.

  4. You Tube: 🥺
    PLEASE consider providing software DESIGNED TO RECORD MUSIC?

    Many content creators use the wrong software, and just may not know the difference: Because it is NOT designed to record music (unlike one section of the second musical intro), it causes well-meaning creators to add "music" to their videos that are sour in sound, better left off entirely.

    Wrong software yields music that is distorted, off-key, "under water sounding", and sour.

    The software used to record the little musical set which intro'd a section at the "2nd beginning", WAS recorded by the right software, software designed to record music.

    And sounded lovely, therefore.

  5. Congratullations from Seville. I could spend the whole day looking at each of your plants and combinations

  6. Beautiful garden tour.
    I am jealous of what can be grown in Oregon compared to what we can grow here in Colorado's very dry climate.

  7. I've been a fan of Darcy's garden and her design for years! I've seen other tours of her garden (video and print), but this one is maybe my favorite!

  8. I love how relatable you are. Relaxed, knowledgeable in your own right, and so good at encouraging and affirming everyone's little specialties and doing your research. You're delightful.

  9. I love this video! So beautiful and so many ideas! Thank you for such a great tour and interview.

  10. I love your garden tours so much!!! Wish the camera would pan, and video transition, more slowly though. There's so much to look at and I just start to focus on something interesting and – woops – moved on. Lol 😂

  11. I live in Oregon also..but…in high desert..it’s so much wetter up there in Portland….mine..not so much..but it was so enjoyable to see her garden…my sister would love it…🙋🏼‍♀️🌻

  12. I don t ever comment and I haven’t even seen 5 mins worth but my MIND IS BLOOOWNNN!! can I just take screenshots and copy this whole life ?

  13. I love the content of this video, but the digital quality of the video is poor. Any suggestions? Anyone else? My internet connection is excellent.

  14. Oh Darcy your garden is stunning. What kind of Japanese maple is the yellow or chartreuse in your backyard in the big pot? I want to get one. I live outside of Nashville. You’re very knowledgeable and I can’t wait to go to your website. Best regards, Linda Hydrick

  15. Beautiful and inspiring. I love the leaves on the Chamaecyparis 'Iceberg' contrasting with the hosta. We have two umbrella pines and they are Not small. LOL. There is one at the Hulda Klager Lilac gardens that is twice as tall as ours. Definitely a different variety in this garden!

  16. This is a really lovely and well produced video, but I do have a couple suggestions! The music volume is a little loud compared to the voices, particularly where it cuts in with music in between sections of the tour. Second, I am using headphones and noticed that each person's voice is in a different ear. IMO it would be better to flatten this to mono so that both voices come through both channels at once.
    Thanks for showcasing this lovely garden!

  17. Darcy’s garden attitude very much aligns with mine. I’ve had acres of garden but now I have a tiny challenging north coast California garden. Lots of deer, gophers, raccoons, fox etc. I would love to visit Darcy’s garden someday…SO beautiful!❤
