The Hello Garden work van has been hard at work with multiple plant hauls! First up is a snippet of shade-loving container plants I’ll be using in client gardens. Impatiens, begonias, fuschias and loads of texture! And let’s cap it off with a little design on the fly too.
Happy gardening!

Thanks for another super helpful and inspirational video. Perfect timing since I have a large shade container that is dominated by a Japanese forest grass. Loved how you placed the combination
S around it. Gave me so many ideas. Wondering if I can divide the forest grass to make more space for other plants, and maybe replace the soil with some new fresh mix?
Oh Kate, Those flowers are just stunning. I never would have thought to put those colors together. Great ideas. I am going plant shopping to see what I can find with your ideas. I’m tickled with the ideas. Thanks so much. ❤Pat
I have very little shade, but I still enjoyed seeing all these beautiful plants 😎
I have a unique situation by my front entrance. One side of my doorstep is in sun and the other in shade. I’ve solved it by using similar colors in plants that like sun and part sun/shade. It took a while to figure out but I’m finally happy with the results.
I have one shade container and I find myself using the same plants every year. Lovely, but it’s time for something more inspired. This video was so helpful. Your outtakes are hilarious, feel free to end all your videos similarly. 😂🚐🌱

Hi, isn’t it too cold still in the PNW to plant out impatiens and fuchsia? Love all the plants! 😊
Ooooo pretty combinations!!! How fun!!
😂love the bloopers and of course ALL the pretties🌿❤️
Van of pleasures. Lol!! Thank you for all these ideas. Putting pots together is loads of fun. Now we just need the sun to come back after a couple days of needed rain, hey? I'm in Washington too – SW corner.
Loved this so much!!! I want you to play around with so many more creations. Would love to see some of the silver and white for shade too! Can’t wait for the sun lovers!💚

Love all the beautiful combinations. Thank you for sharing your talents.
AMAZING! Such eye candy!! Love your selections.
Thanks so very much for the advice and inspiration.
I love shade plants! Great examples, Katie!
Fabulous! Such great eye you have!
Ok my question is- what about pot color? A lot of mine are greys and neutrals… but have a couple Sage green with a terra cotta accent. How do you incorporate the color of the pot or do you? Love your channel!!! ❤
Your bLoopers were hilarious!!!!
out takes are 😅!! Love and have used the template tip and it is very effective!
Fantastic!!!
I love your videos, Kate! The camera angles, the editing show off your fun personality.
I've gardened more than 30 years so thought I knew a lot, but it's only in the last several years I've learned so much from content creators such as yourself.
I'm chomping at the bit for our garden centers to flesh out their plant inventory. It's still too early here in Minneapolis. But I'm prepping the beds in anticipation of what's to come.
Sure hope I can find that Autumnal Fushia! Will you be showing us the final arrangements? Yes please!! 🇨🇦👏🇨🇦
Kate your laugh is so infectious! Love seeing your creativity and passion for gardening. Great ideas and I will certainly be taking some of your suggestions when making my own containers this season. Hi from NJ 👩🏽🌾 Ava
More bloopers, please!! That was so funny-cute at the end, lol! 😅❤🌿😎
