This is one of my all time favorites. Thirst are the principles you taught us for all these years. You’ve taught us so so very much. But these basic principles of design are just so incredible and true. We have followed these ideas and principles for all these years .. It has made our garden home a beautiful tranquil delight for us, neighbors, and even garden club tours. And it’s forever changing and growing. You’re inspiration and knowledge has helped enrich my life in so many ways. Not only and obviously In our garden, in all other aspects in my life ! Interior design, holiday decor and ideas, entertaining tips and inspiration.... crafts beyond belief. Recipes and garden to table inspiration. Outdoor garden and party ideas. I could go on and on. But you’ve truly touched our lives and inspired us to keep learning and growing. And you’ve been such a guardian of our earth... and recycling and reuse, repurpose. Thank you fir all the countless ways you’ve inspired and educated us.
I would love to see you collaborate or do a mashup with some of the great British gardeners like Monty Don, Charlie Dimmock, the Rich brothers, Arit Anderson etc etc. Would be so exciting to see all that garden know-how collaborating!
I like that landscape design you did at the end. I’ve been so tempted to add color in some new trees and shrubs, but I think it might be best now to stick with white blooms on those and confine the colors to the seasonal flower beds. My flower prowess might fade, but the trees and shrubs will be forever.
I glean so much wisdom and knowledge from you! I always wanted to be like my Arkansas grandmother whose green thumb was phenomenal. She always had me helping to weed iher gardens. That's all I remembered how to do until I discovered you and other wonderful experts. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge to help those of us who need the beauty and serenity of a garden and the act of tending to a garden. I miss my Arkansas mountain hometown here on the prairie of Texas.
Having seen Allen's garden in person, I really enjoyed seeing Moss Mountain in the early stages. Gives me hope for my garden's future! :o) Kim-N-Garden
What a great video. Full of good advice, and with a delightful 'suprise' ending. Sitting out in my dinky little garden in the North West of the UK, as the sun prepares to go down, I thank you.
While I know this is beautiful and very interesting, I was really hoping there would be some design techniques that were for people who make less than $25,000 a year. This is definitely for rich people.
Huge fan! What do you use at the lawn-flower patch interface to prevent the grass from invading the planting areas? Not your raised beds (you said that), but in the long lawn areas with the planting areas on each side
I have been a fan since I was young and have owned any based landscape design company for almost 20 years. How can we get plastics out of our industry? I feel so conflicted with the amount of plants I sell that are grown in plastic containers. Recycling plastic is not the answer as it puts toxic fumes into our air. We need biodegradable containers. What are your thoughts?
I don’t know if you figured this out already, but I recently bought some roses that came in biodegradable/compostable containers so when you plant them, you don’t have to take them out of their containers because they’ll break down over time, allowing the roots to grow. I used to feel so guilty when I was done planting my annuals every year, so I slowly transitioned to perennials to reduce the amount of plastic waste every year, so those compostable containers are amazing!
Excellent show as always. Here's my 2 cents: 8:25 those columns would look a lot better on pedestals rather than terminating directly onto the floor, imo. Also, I would have preferred that the edges of the floorboards 8:29 were concealed with an edge board framing the entire floor.
I think it's still under construction and they're showing the process. I agree about the pedestals, but the make them in halves that wrap around the column and you just caulk them into place. I'm sure moldings will be added to cover the tongue n" groove flooring.
8:50 I'm sorry but it's a monocrop field and has nothing to do with the abundance in terms of biodiversity and environmentally-conscious gardening. And daffodils, unfortunately, have very little value for pollinators. In the time of climate crisis maybe it's time that we reconsider the essence of the abundance in the principles of garden design.
Wonderful knowledge & ideas thank you
My pleasure

Thanks for posting this video. Your advice is always timeless! I found this video especially helpful for setting up a solid foundation for my garden.

Thanks for name dropping. Just starting following them on Insta.
So helpful. Thank you!
Great video Allen really helpful too, thank you for sharing 🙂
I so appreciate this program. Thank you!
That daffodil hillside. 😃
That’s a very pretty house 🏠

Awesome
Nicely done video! Thanks for explaining these somewhat abstract concepts that I’m trying to create at home
Beautiful home and landscapes are amazing.

Thanks Allen for another fantastic video..I enjoy these so much and your insights on all these topics are so helpful..thanks again 😄🌳💐
You are really helpful with these great videos, I loved all of the daffodils!
Solid, detailed information. I'm so thankful & as I work on my garden I'm sure I'll be watching the video again as a refresher course. 🥰
Over 100,000 daffodils 🌼 = 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Botanical Bloke probably closer to 1mil now. 😉

👍😁
It's wonderful! Thank You very much! 😘🌻

What year is this from? Feels like 1990s

@@ejohnson3131 where do we find the biodegradable pots. Thank you
@@lynettemokgano9009 just do a search for compostable pots. I posted a link, but RUclips is blocking it.
Thank you kindly
I would appreciate your help to give the front of my home curb appeal. How can I do that for your show?
👋😄
WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT ROSE HIPS, DO YOU TRIM THE ROSE BUSH. WHEN?
Excellent show as always.
Here's my 2 cents: 8:25 those columns would look a lot better on pedestals rather than terminating directly onto the floor, imo.
Also, I would have preferred that the edges of the floorboards 8:29 were concealed with an edge board framing the entire floor.
Is there architectural integrity being maintained? I like minimal clean lines. But what do the original plans look like?
@@thetroytroycan - it's not a historical building restoration or replica. So I personally would opt for aesthetics.
I think it's still under construction and they're showing the process. I agree about the pedestals, but the make them in halves that wrap around the column and you just caulk them into place. I'm sure moldings will be added to cover the tongue n" groove flooring.
Wisteria is highly invasive and difficult to get rid of
PSA “voting with your dollars” is not a good campaign to push, not everyone can afford it. I support the other ideas in this video
Came here for garden design but 90% of this is about something else..
8:50 I'm sorry but it's a monocrop field and has nothing to do with the abundance in terms of biodiversity and environmentally-conscious gardening. And daffodils, unfortunately, have very little value for pollinators. In the time of climate crisis maybe it's time that we reconsider the essence of the abundance in the principles of garden design.
Agree - also daffodils foliage takes forever to die back, as late as early July when flowers R over by mid-April.
what about support to the local environment (which leads one more to native plants) and fragrance?
Yes. That is a good thing. 💚
The green bit was nonsense. Just stick to gardening tips.
