Congratulations on a year ending well! Flood wary in year. Hurricane later! Worms in signature garden! Major build of terrace garden! All the while keeping you business alive and thriving! Which of course meant your employees still had a place to work! Plus all done with your natural grace and positivity! You and Jerry and the rest of your great team…congratulations on job well done!
Will definitely be watching the cottage bed’s growth. I have my eye on a couple of the ones you’ve selected. I finally have some beds of my own for the first time in my life. Very excited. Taking it slow. Thanks for the great vid!
The garden is beautiful, the air is fresh and peaceful. Gardening by yourself helps you relax and feel at peace. Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures with everyone.
Thanks, as always, for taking us along in your design process! 😊 Repetition really ties everything together. Even if you don't use the exact same plants, just repeating colors and textures makes such an impact. I really like your idea of adding large stepping stones as a subtle path in that area. In my garden areas, this seems to tie hardscaping together, like using short stacked stone walls with matching stone steps where the topography changes. This whole area is being tied together beautifully! 🥰
Great plants. Anxious to see how they will do on that slope with considerable sun on them. The Rudbekia is a winner for sure. Curious to see some of the other plants in that setting.
Hi Jenny, isn't exciting to have a brand new space to fill with new plants! Do you have any tips for reducing the risk of Indian Summer rudbekias getting powdery mildew? With your humidity in NC, I would think this might be a challenge. I am on the Atlantic Coast of Canada and the weather can be humid too but not as hot as you. Thanks for being such a great resource and inspiration!
Great job, Jerry, Jenny and Mimi! Such stunning combinations that you have put together in the Cottage Garden, and I can’t wait to see them all in full bloom together❣️
Lovely set up. Please show us how you add drip irrigation to these plause. Do you add it to each individual plant? And what kind of tubing do you use. This is where I need direction. Thanks.
I’m getting that new 9” augur. I’m always AMAZED how you can wield the one you have with the big Dewalt drill because I can barely manage the 7”. Will you have it this weekend (Nov 2)?
Got a chance to stop by the garden center today, we drove up from Miami FL, everything was beautiful! I got a chance to meet Cece btw she’s amazing and I also met your husband,Jerry super great customer service. Loved every minute of it. I purchased a Southern living camilla. Lets see how she does in a zone 10 🫠 I also had to take advantage of the unique stone deal so I purchased the little pigs on top of each other, Millie and Molly.
Jenny, I love your sweatshirt! Where did you get it?? I was hoping that the funds could be used for the people in the mountains. Thank you, and take care!
Love this! I am helping my neighbor with a landscaping project exactly like this! Would love to know what the tall bushes are near the hydrangeas. I'm also doing a hydrangea hill but need a couple evergreens on the side transitioning from the woods! Thinking about some Shades of Pink Viburnums or Coppertop Sweet Viburnums. Would love to know what you have!
Hi Jenny. I am thinking about ordering a couple of paisley pups. The area is morning shade but late afternoon a blast of sun. Zone 7b NE Tennessee. Do you think they would be ok? Thanks. Cindy.
It's funny that the leaves of all those trees have not amended the soil naturally through the years? The soil stays red and a hard clay type of soil. 🤔
Oh, if it only was that easy! Am in the Virginia Piedmont area, with the same type of soil as Jenny. No, leaves break down and make the first inch or so more crumbly soil, but beneath, the soil stays very clayey. Being on a slope like she was working on today, the unmulched topsoil would erode downhill in heavy rains. Even when you work organic matter into the soil, it disappears over time, so it's a constant battle. The red color is from iron content in our soil.
North Carolina here, I also have this soil type. In order to create crumbly soil, you have to add lots of compost and sand or vermiculite to aerate. I prefer sand. And then, you have to till it in to incorporate. Just adding leaf mulch on top will not amend the heavy clay underneath. Sand, compost, then till, it’s the only way to get fluffy soil and even then, you have some compaction. Raised beds are ideal. Reminds me of red clay on a potters wheel. Could be used for that purpose, I suspect. Two positive notes, our soil is naturally acidic, plants and trees grow well here. Some supplemental water is needed during dry periods, however we get an average of 50 inches of rain per year. Gardening here has a learning curve, but no complaints. We did have 3 digit days this past summer, so I’m looking into shade cloth for my veg and I’ll be planting more trees to protect ornamentals. 😊

Flood early in year. lol
I would love one of those augers. Tempting. This Texas gulf coast clay soil ain’t no joke.

I love how your sweet pup is always around ♥️

I just adore how deep green camellia leaves are. Sometimes you really need that richness to contrast other foliage colors / varigation.
Good Morning Jenny and Mimi, the Cottage Garden is be glorious next spring! Love the plants you chose and yes Brynna you are beautiful too….😊😊😊😊
You've done a beautiful job on your space.❤
Wow, Jenny! Looks amazing! Well done!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks

Its looking so great Jenny, I love to see you planting with Mimi and the progress with the entire cottage garden. 😊
Very pretty! As always, good to see Mimi.
Love your videos. Very inspiring. Wished I could come to your nursery.
I think this whole area is going to be my favorite ,that rose colored camellia is gorgeous as is all the plants. Thanks 🍁🍂
Beautiful garden
Such a joy watching you build your beds. Beautiful!
No wonder Brenna is looking excited- you keep telling her that you are going to put a “steak” in the ground ;-)) I would be excited too!
Hi Jenny! The Terrace Garden is coming into its own! I can see a nice large feature rock or rocks! Have you thought about adding some?
Everything is gorgeous!
Your camera makes the retaining walls look like they're curved. It's a tiny bit deceiving. I love the whole terraced garden! Beautiful!
No optical illusions here, not sure why the walls appeared curved 🤷🏻♀️
Good morning Jenny and Mimi!!
Great plants. Anxious to see how they will do on that slope with considerable sun on them. The Rudbekia is a winner for sure. Curious to see some of the other plants in that setting.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for offering the Jenny's edition in multiple colors.
You are so welcome!
I love this new area! Everyone needs a Mimi to help figure out where things will look nice.
Thanks Jenny.
Good morning ☕️
Morning!
Lovely garden, I just love it!
It's absolutely stunning ❤
The new flower bed looks great. I’m looking forward to seeing the redesign on the remaining cottage garden beds.

This will be stunning! Great teamwork!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Jenny, looks great ! 🎃🍁💚🙃
I'm calling it. That patch of grass in the extension is not going to last.
Morning ❤
Gorgeous ❤

Every thing is looking great. Question, will you be planting and bulbs in this bed? Thanks again. Great video as always. 😊

Hey Jenny. Love, love, love the the redo of the terraced garden. What did you say that grass is at time stamp 32:51, upper left corner?

and would love to know how many square feet this space is! Haha I think I've ordered way too many plants for her!
nice
Are you going to move the amsonia and if so, where are you going to put it?

Ummm....you do repeat what your saying often..sometimes its just too much talking and not enough planting..
Thanks for the feedback. It's the educator in me - guilty as charged 😉. And trust me, I do PLENTY of planting.
