With all these flowers you definetly need a bee hotel this year. 8-) Wonderful garden!!! Paradise on Earth!
We have a very small insect hotel... but it was a gift and I'm not sure it really even works ;)
Probably never have a garden as pretty as you guys are you guys done a great job
I can't believe I didn't reply to this! So sorry! And thank you for the sweet words :)
You guys are great😊. Thank you for your videos, they are such an inspiration, and as soon my house is sold and a new house with a garden is bought, I will (try to) make a garden like yours
Thank you for such a kind comment :) we hope your house sells quickly ❤️ and that you find the perfect fit for your next one :)
Garden is looking great! A large variety of interesting plants in such a "small" space, yet it looks fantastic in design terms. Everything just fits in together. You guys can be very proud of yourselves.
Thanks so much! We’ll move some things around in the early autumn - to play with heights, etc - but that’s the good thing about perennials.
Still jealous that you’re heading into spring now though 😅
Wow, the "Thai silk Rose chiffon" flower is gorgeous! Thanks for listing plants names.
It is a poppy, yes. You can find it by looking for seeds for ESCHSCHOLZIA californica Thai Silk Rose Chiffon... I bet they have them wherever you live, too :) Let me know if you find them!
What a delight you two are and your garden is lovely 🍃❤️🍃
Thanks so much! We're pleased with how the new flowerbeds (the middle one and the one near the compost) are doing this year. Thanks for watching AND for taking the time to comment 😊
Great tour! Love, love all the flowers! You guys are great gardeners. Thanks for sharing all the beauty that God has allowed us to enjoy.
Thanks so much for watching! And yes, His creation is incredible, and we're blessed to take care of a little slice of it. 🥰
Finally! Finally! A garden tour I actually enjoyed! I love how excited you guys were about collecting seeds! I'm right there with you. Absolutely love that you not only showed us a bunch of perennials, but put the names of them up on the screen. I thought I knew all the perennials, but learn something new tonight! You guys have such an amazing collection. So I'm hooked and must subscribe and catch up with all you videos. Thank you for sharing. And no, the video was not too long; wish I could have seen more. Greetings from Pa, USA.
Another seed collector! Welcome 🥰. Thank you for subscribing, too! And super glad that you appreciate the names on the screen -- since we say most of the names in Danish, it's only fair to provide the proper names :)
Hi my sweet friend. Thanks so much for another great garden tour always love a good garden tour. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie.
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
New subscriber and a new gardener! I am addicted! What a truly beautiful and bountiful garden you have, I will watch all your videos and take some great tips! Lots of love from Dublin, Ireland. X☺️
Yay for new gardens! Thanks for watching and let us know if we can help answer any questions ☺️ A big HEJ from Denmark!
Oh wow, guys! Thank you for showing me around your gorgeous garden.
Our pleasure! Thank YOU for watching 🥰
Hello dear hearts again from Glasgow! Loved your comment Lars about your fingers tingling. I laughed my gonads off! I have had good results placing gorse stems around my hostas to prevent slug invasion. They find the sharp thorns some what difficult to negotiate. Just call me Vlad the Impaler!!!
Love from Karen xxxxxx
Thanks for the comment, Vlad! hahaha. So funny. I had to look up gorse stems but now I totally see those little slugs working hard to avoid your hostas 🤣 Big hello from us!
@@perennial-garden Thought you would be too famous to reply!!! Also loved your video from your Mammy's blueberry farm.
So much love to you and yours...Vlad xxxxxx
@@karenreynolds7153 Thinking that we'd be too famous for anything is the biggest compliment we could get! 😉 To be honest tho... my favorite part of having a channel is the comments and getting to 'meet' people from all over the place.
And thanks 🥰 we love at my mom and dad's place... sunshine and warm weather all the time. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Do you have a beautiful garden and I really enjoyed the tour. Thanks so much my sweet friend for sharing it with us.
Love the tour and so glad to see that both of you are interested in the gardening
Thanks for watching, Wayne! We are both big garden nerds around here.
I love your videos I live in Northern California I also have a small garden which is getting crowded I have a lot of the same perennials, please keep those videos coming.
Glad you have a packed garden, too :) It's the best way to use a small space in our opinion :)
Really loved that look around - thank you! What a lovely garden, and it is obvious how much you both love it. Really wish I lived near enough to visit... (I'm in the UK).
Thanks so much for watching! And if you ever DO find yourself on this side... you're always welcome ☕
Really good advice about the unglazed pots. I live in rainy Oregon…I should sub out my glazed containers. Plus the Terra-cotta pots as so charming.
We love unglazed terracotta anyway... and really, it's just way too wet here to have anything add to the water table ;)
l love your uploads, l am writing from Melbourne/Australia, and l am planting a similar garden but for cutting flowers. l am a retired florist and l love having flowers in the house and flowers are very expensive to buy now. So l am planting roses, and many perennials and when spring comes l will plant lots of annuals, Your garden is an inspiration, also l got rid of the lawn and planted lots and lots of flowers. Big regards, Mario
Wonderful, Mario! Your garden sounds great... and with your florist skills... I bet it's really pretty :) We had enough of our lawn being so wet and impossible to use all winter (and often during the summers even) -- removing it has been the best decision!
An INCREDIBLE perennial garden! It is fascinating to hear the different interpretations of names in the two languages. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, Helen! And we have a lot of fun with the names over here 😅
Your garden is just amazing i feel that there are so many love here and thank your the of the plants Good job guys
We do love it... super glad that you can feel that during our tour! Greetings from Denmark 🤗
I’m so envious! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try and copy.
Thank YOU for watching! 😊
Great video, you really took your time for us to take it all in. You have all the greatest specimens!!
Thanks so much for watching! We thought it would be fun to show everything we've packed into our small space :)
Hi guys this is the kind of garden that I love when I come every June or July when I come in holidays Danemark thank you for your beautiful video
Thanks for watching! Next time you're here, come and visit the garden - we're in Fredericia on Jylland (east coast).
Sure I will come because most of my time am in plantora and All the another shop with plants and flowers I wish you two all the best
@@lisettemargaret4967 Great! See you here 🥰
Go puppies every year in my garden. I let them go to see you and drop their seeds into my soil for they’ll come back another year. When they cropped her own seeds and they come back to come back so much stronger and healthier because I’ve had generations of living in my garden.
So true... a lot of our plants self sow, too. So we know they'll come back again next year :)
First time seeing your video, now I have to look up where you live in Denmark. No, not to stalk you but to see if I’ve been there or near. My Danish has almost disappeared but love to hear the accent and the Danish words.
We live in Fredericia - on the east coast of Jylland. (Near Middlefart, if that helps). Let us know if you’ve ever been here 🥰 What a small world ☺️
Such a beautiful colour mosaic!! ☘️🌸🪻🌺🌼🌿
Thanks so much for watching!
Love your beautiful garden!!! The colours & varieties are stunning, so glad you name the plants as well. So interesting to see other gardens from other countries. I'm from Ontario, Canada zone 5.
Thanks for watching, Jen! And super glad that you appreciate us naming the plants 🥰. Greetings from Denmark!
@@perennial-garden I'll continue to watch you guys. I'll be subscribing 😊
@@jenmason40 Super great news for us :). Anything in particular you'd like us to share from our experience?
@@perennial-garden do you have to dig up your Dahlia bulbs after end of season? Or have you left them in? I just bought some Asters to add my garden as Fall is approaching & bloom until our first frost. Tulips & Daffodils are perennials for me, what are your perennials?
@@jenmason40 I bet the Asters will look great in your garden! We dig up the tubers... the Bishop's Children are from seed, so those just get resown. For us, most tulips, daffodil, crocus, hyacinth and alliums are perennial bulbs. Where we are in Denmark, it's equivalent to Zone 8a (USDA).
That Eucalyptus is very cool. I love how you've packed your garden with so many plants. And the grapevine in the greenhouse is luscious! Great tour!!
Thanks for watching 🥰. And the grapes are getting sweeter every day 💜
Love the wide borders 🤩
Thanks so much! We do, too 🥰
Just found your channel and had to subscribe as I love your garden. It is stunning. I now need to watch some of your other videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much for subscribing, Wendy! And thanks for watching more. Let us know if you have any questions or great ideas to share!
Thank you so much. I'm learning all the time and I always find that gardeners are generous with their knowledge.@@perennial-garden
new to your channel and I must say brava! you have created such a stunning space and you two are absolutely precious together. thanks so much for sharing. happy gardening! with love from Canada
Hello in Canada! Thank you so much for watching ☺️ We do have a lot of fun together - and we’re very thankful of our little garden. Hope you have a great growing season this year, too!
Lovely garden thanks for the tour
Thank you for watching!
Fantastic! I am enjoying your garden so much, please keep sharing it
So nice of you to take the time to comment ☺️. We will keep sharing!
Thank you. I’ve really enjoyed your garden videos. You garden looks amazing.
Thanks so much for watching 🥰 and for taking your time to comment.
your garden is AMAZING!!!!!!!! I'm quite envious. I'm in north Texas and the heat has ruined some of my garden this year :^(
Thank you for watching! And super sorry to hear about the heat. We had a really dry June (the driest in 20 years)... but thankfully the rain came in July (the wettest in history!)... and now we're kinda back to normal. Hope you managed well enough despite the heat tho!
Hi, you inspired me to paint my wooden fence in a dark colour as well 👍 Thank you and much love from Vienna, Austria 🙏❤️🇦🇹
So great to hear! Hope you love it as much as we do ❤️. Big hello from Denmark 🇩🇰
Gorgeous garden
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi, I enjoyed your beautiful garden!
Thanks for watching, Nancy 🥰
Thank you for the tour! Amazing how many different flowers you've got. So inspiring. Looking forward to your next video. 🌼🌸🌺
We try to pack a lot in our small space. Thanks so much for watching!
I love your garden ❤ . Your grapes look delicious. 😊😊😊
Thanks! The grapes are getting there... a few more days and they'll be perfect 🍇
Really lovely, bravo
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Beautiful gardens! Loved the tour!
Thanks so muich for joining us on the tour :)
Hello from South Carolina, USA. I just found your channel, and I am thrilled. How lovely. I've already subscribed. Your garden is beautiful.
Greetings from Denmark! Thanks so much for subscribing and watching 🥰
I love your garden. ❤It is my dream garden now. 😍You have such a beautiful array of flowers and plants and the placement is pure perfection. 🌻💐🥰💞💯🙌💥🌱🌼🐝🌺
Thanks so much, Michelle! We love the mixing of colors and textures.. glad you do, too 🥰. Thanks so much for watching!
Wow, your garden is wonderful! All those flowers. After a hot summer - it´s stunning. I´m in the midst of recreating/transforming my own garden. The summers in Germany are getting so hot and dry. Many of my plants are dead. So I´m about to plant things that can manage drought. Greetings from Germany 🐝
Same here! This summer was both the driest in 20 years AND the wettest (July) in history. It makes gardening a true challenge.
Makes a great reason to grow more native plants. …we totally understand your garden transformation! Here’s to its success! 💪🏼💪🏼
Beautiful
Thanks for watching! 🥰
You guys have such a collection, very beautiful, I will take your tip on the Astrantia
So much easier than putting them in our freezer, etc. Our greenhouse isn't heated... so it's the easiest way for us to cold stratify seeds.
I have been doing winter sowing of perennials in January and February. Love this method because it is so easy, no need for a greenhouse, watering and overall care of the seedlings. Results have been great.
@@johnsantangelo7773 so glad it’s working for you! I bet the results are beautiful 🌸🌺
Gorgeous! I love how close together everything is. My favorite flower you have is the helenium autumnale. I'll have to find some!
We like that one, too!
It’s called sneezeweed in English 😅. Kind of a funny name.
In Danish it’s called Solbrud - the bride of the sun - because of how much they love the sunshine.
Yes, I found some seeds online. I'm in Delaware and look forward to WInter Sowing them after the New Year.@@perennial-garden
Your garden looks absolutely wonderful 😍.I really appreciate and respect what you do💐. May I ask you, if you leave the hostas that you have presented(the one that is in pot) outside for the winter. I also have this slugs and snails problem🥺, in Vienna and I do not have a Winter garden were I can bring it. This is why I do not have hostas until now. Thank you for the work of both of you and for sharing🙏🏼🌹
Thanks so much for watching! All of those hostas are now planted in the ground (all but one). ((This tour was 2023)). We've always left all of our hostas outside tho... either in the pots like these were, or the ones in the ground.
We cut them back at the end of autumn... after the leaves are yellow and starting to really look bad. Then we cut them back to the ground and wait until spring. :)
In spring, we keep an eye on them because slugs LOVE to eat them! These are the plants that we check morning and night for slugs or snails.
I hope that helps!
Here is our August garden this year (2024): ruclips.net/video/9L6QgQkvYqw/видео.htmlsi=pnBLZjrzsPQaNA_p
Just subscribed :) what a lovely garden tour! beautiful :)
Thank you so much, Lottie! We're enjoying catching up on your garden, too (new subscribers, too). BIG hello from Denmark :)
Just found your RUclips channel and instantly subscribed! Your garden is beautiful and you both have such a fun personality! 😊
Ahhhhhh 🥰 Thanks for letting us know! We’re huge garden nerds… just glad someone enjoys that with us. Greetings from Denmark!
Hahaha patiens..... Heuchera ❤
The name always makes us laugh 😂
@@perennial-garden ❤️... That's so cute to watch!!
Blanket flowers are some of my favorites! Your garden is looking spectacular. The heat index here has been 106F without rain and my little garden has been suffering. I think I may need to put up a cloth awning to protect them a bit if it continues.
Tatertot and I are going to plant some pansies for fall after it rains. Tatertot and I have been harvesting seeds from straw flower, and bachelors buttons(Centaurea cyanus).
If it isn’t to personal a question how did y’all meet? Honestly I’m dying to know! I think y’all know I’m a southern gal. Grew up all over the south but mostly in north Georgia(great gardens there).
106F is intense! It’s like 41C here… the country goes into panic with anything over 30C (86F) - it’s just not made for the heat here 😅 Tell Tatertot he deserves 2 ice creams for dealing with that heat! 🍦🍦
Sounds so cozy with the seed collecting! We’re in full swing with that, too. (And I’m glad there’s another Blanket flower fan out there… they really are one of my favorites).
And of course you can ask 🤓. We met thru a friend - long, long ago! 😅
I’m (Allen) originally from South Georgia and was working in Denmark for a semester. The rest is history 😂
Where in north Georgia? I went to school up in Rome (above Marietta, Kennesaw, etc). Love it up there!
@@perennial-garden omg! My sis went to Berry in Rome. I grew up near Chattanooga in Fort Oglethorpe area just about an hour or so north of Rome. I spent a lot of time in Rome growing up. We went to visit her every weekend.
Oh the gardens at Berry. I still go see them. Rome has changed like crazy over the years. I remember when all that was there was the college and the mall lol
@@dia9491 Berry was (I'm guessing it still is) so beautiful! I went to Shorter... the way smaller one on the hill. And I totally remember that mall ... is that still there? Haven't been back since the late 90s 🙃
@@perennial-garden yeah it’s still there but the town no longer has those small town vines. They’re really building it up. It’s great though. She started in 94. Now I want to try to take a drive to Rome lol it’s such a small world.
@@dia9491 I was in Rome from 96-99! I bet we walked around The Gap at the same time 🤣
Love the dark-leaved Heliopsis, Burning or Bleeding Heart, right?
You need to try growing Lychnis chalcedonica from seed if you haven't yet. Amazing plant.
THANKS for the recommendation! We do grow them here... they're called 'Burning Love' in Danish. They flower really early for us... but 1000% understand why you'd recommend them... they're beautiful!
Garden looks amazing! So much colour! I’ve been growing some of the same flowers this year with some success, but a lot of them flop over in the wind and rain. I’m just wondering whether you support your flowers like cosmos, rudbeckia hirta etc or they are supporting each other by being tight together?
Thanks for watching! The cosmos aren’t supported, they just do well on their own. The delphiniums, rudbeckia hirta, and others (even the salvia viridis) are supported. We use just normal bamboo sticks and put them in the ground so they make an X by the plant to support its weight. Things are planted so tightly together that you don’t really even see the supports.
@@perennial-gardenthank you! That helps a ton! You’re right you can’t see them at all once it’s grown in. I’ll try that next year
Great! We’ll try to show it in our next garden video, too. Nice to know that someone would be interested 🤓
My favorite garden tour. What variety is the agastache that had the purple bloom on it? You showed it a bit towards the end of the video just before you went into the green house.
Thanks so much for watching! It's Agastache foeniculum 'Blue Fortune'.
❤❤❤😊😊😊
💚💚
Hello, nice to meet you
I live in Japan.
In the wonderful GARDEN
The flowers are also lively.
There were many flowers I wanted to plant.
I will use it as a reference (*´ `*
Thanks so much for watching! So glad you enjoyed and BIG HELLO from Denmark to you in Japan ☺
Really gorgeous garden. You have really done a beautiful job with it 🌻🌹 Love all the blooms. What is the name of that shorter paler pink dahlia ? Is it a Melody series ? TY
You know your dahlias! 💕Yes, it’s a Melody Harmony.
How do you water these plants? New to your channel!!! Lovely 🥰
Thanks for joining, Karen!
We use both rain water (that we collect) and regular water (from a water hose). This summer was quite hot and dry for Denmark - so we watered around 2 times a week on average.
@@perennial-garden When you say regular water hose I mean do you use a sprinkler or do you use a drip system?
We just water from the hose... it has a sprayer on the end of it. No drip system installed and no sprinkler... we did try a garden sprinkler before, but we ended up wasting too much water as it also watered the path, etc. @@karenschrantz2307
hi! Do you have a rudbeckia hirta sahara, echinacea cantaloupe, and echinacea sunseeker salmon? Im in love with fall colored flowers right now.
No, but those colors sound gorgeous!
What are the little pink flowers behind the brunera at 17.55
Behind that we have Linaria purpurea and Thalictrum delavayi .. Are you looking at one of those?
Oh yes it’s the linaria, 😊 thank you so much. It’s so pretty & your garden is beautiful 😻 @@perennial-garden
You are so very welcome! Thanks for watching 🥰@@loppyloo106
is your rosemary on the ground or in the pot?
It’s in a pot - great drainage and poor soil (sand, soil, stone mixture).
Hvor længe har I haft haven ?
Vi har boet her i 6 år☺️
Most of your plants are way too low and too much mixture looks like you just went to the supermarket and picked one plant of everything and planted them.
Thanks for taking your time to comment🤣We counted at the beginning of August and had over 104 different flowering plants at that time. So you're exactly right... it's a crazy mixture.
It’s not the way I garden, but it’s still very beautiful!
@@gardensglory1229 Thanks so much. And that's the joy of gardening... there are so many different styles and ways of doing it. 🥰
