Thanks Paul! That is kind of you to say, but I don't think you need to take a leaf out of anyone's book. Your garden is stunning. Thanks for always commenting. ☺️. I hope things are going well over there. Stay healthy.
@@paultsworld Ugh, hailstones! Although I do wish we had some rain here. Things are bone dry. Maybe I'll see the Calla's in one of your videos? I'll be watching 😉 .
I adore bloodroot, sanquinsorba. So gorgeous in early spring. My blackbird hates my dwarf Irises, he pulls them out every year, just like my Aubrieta to line his nest together with my Persian cat's hair. I gave up to ever see them bloom properly XD Hepatica is so lovely. Tiny but adorable. And difficult. I hope it loves your woodland. Such a good idea to change the garden to be more accessible and flowery. I can't wait for the video of the growth and berries.
Thank you so much! I know that some of my new plantings will thrive, yet others will not. I love the wildlife, and everyone needs to eat, but it's hard to see plants dug up or chewed down. So far, so good on the dwarf Irises! Let's hope that the hepatica is one that thrives! My mother always loved it too. Thanks for commenting!
I always look forward to your garden tours Rosanne . Such a beautiful garden. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge of planting and garden design . So lovely to see your garden coming to life 😊
Thank you! I'm so glad you find the videos helpful. My goal is to inspire others as they nurture and develop their own gardens🌿. This time of year is exciting, isn't it?
You’ve planted so many of my natural SW Wisconsin native wildflowers! Dutchman’s Breaches, May Apples, Hepatica, Bloodroot etc. It makes me thankful for what is literally in my own backyard! These friends come back every Spring after our hard winters, and always make me happy while walking woods, paths, and fields. Thanks for reminding me that sometimes treasures are nearer than we think. Good luck with your woodland project, enjoy!
Hi Cindy, You are so right about those faithful little ephemerals that come back year after year. They are so stunning while they bloom. I just hope my new plantings thrive. Critters might be the problem in our garden. I think my favorite might be the Dutchman's Breeches ☺️. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 🌿
So excited to find your new video today. Jessica Rendon said it best. Your videos are such a treat and your gardens are so peaceful. Our Lowcountry Herb Society in South Carolina is going to try and replicate the turtle stepping stone that your husband made for your garden. And, as you warned, bunnies continue to appear in my garden. The most recent one is holding a rain gauge. Loved this video and all your descriptions of your new plant purchases.
How nice to hear from you! Ahh, those bunnies 🐇. I'm sure your rain gauge is adorable. I LOVED hearing about the turtle and can't wait to tell my husband. I hope the project goes well! As always, thanks for watching and commenting. 🌹
Oh my gosh!! Wonderful, informative video! Your woodland garden will be glorious!! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to a new garden tour...love seeing your stone turtle.😀
Thank you for sharing your garden, Rosanne, it is such a joy to watch new additions being welcomed to your garden. You give me a lot of inspiration for my own cottage garden. Much love 🌿
I received red banberry from a friend many years ago. It reseeds freely so I watch for new plants each spring, editing out any that are trying to grow outside of the desired area. It’s never been much of a problem.
Enchanting and nostalgic for me. I grew up in NE Ohio where many of these plants are also native. The path your husband created really is key to your reworked woodland garden. I look forward to seeing it in the coming season. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Fantastic variety, Rosanne 🐦 Feeding the birds the birds the birds!!! 😊 I too have a woodland garden that I completely changed from last year, planting 9 shrubs, 2 more to come. I have a few flowers out around a large tree. I also added a stone wall, with the pavers I used last year, for my walking path. It's so nice to have Spring coming into action! 🌱🌿🍀 I'm curious as to how you connected the chickenwire behind. Did you have to twist all ends together with needle nose pliers? I have some chickenwire but, to tell you the truth, I'm a bit leery of it. Afraid of cutting myself! Always great to see you my dear. Excellence beyond measure! ❤
Thank you Gina! It's always nice to hear from you. Your woodland garden sounds delightful! This is truly such an exciting time of year, and the cardinals can't stop singing. As far as the wire, we fastened it with heavy-duty staples to the wood pole. The wire only goes about 2/3 the way around the pole. I used an 8 foot length of 2 ft. wire and wrapped it around the pole as far as 2 ft would reach. It was actually easier than I anticipated. As always, thanks for watching and commenting. 🌹
@@RosannesGarden Thank you so very much, Rosanne. If I can get my hands on 🙏 .. Virgin Bower, I'm going to do so on a large tree I have out back. I love the idea, as it would be absolutely stunning!! I admire you so and the inspiration you provide. Thank you my friend! 💜
I am on the same garden path here in Portland Oregon. Last year I added curved stepping stones on the slope of our eastern border between two red cedar trees. This year I am planting, undaunted by the unusual weather swings. You have given me my shopping list! Many thanks.
That is awesome! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. There's snow on the ground today, but soon I'll be able to see how all the new woodland wildflowers fared over the winter 🤞🏻
So beautiful! Once upon a time I wanted to do a woodland garden... but instead I have Japanese maples and hydrangeas. I hope to do it one day in the near future. Love it what you did with yours.
Thank you! I'm glad you like what we are doing with our shady garden, but your garden of Japanese maples and hydrangeas sound absolutely beautiful. There are just so many wonderful choices in gardening. Even in Zone 4! All the best!
Your garden is so pretty! Love the whimsical cottage garden! The stone work is beautiful and I thank you for sharing your videos. I especially like your side garden!!!!
I like all those plants. Such a beautiful garden you have! Bishop's hat grows about 15" height bloom light yellow flower I've seen at the botanical gardens in my area Birmingham, Alabama. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Roseanne , beautiful , I love your videos thank you for your information on your beautiful plants 🌱 yes I’m from NSW Australia on the Mid north coast. ( Port Macquarie) a paradise part of Oz surrounded by beautiful beach’s 🌊 & yes Koalas 🐨,Kangaroo 🦘and emus & Platypus are our native animals I’m so happy to hear that you collected kangaroo figurines when you were younger 🥰 I live in the Temperate \ sub tropical part thank you again for sharing so much with us 💗🐝🧤👒💐🦘🐨🇦🇺
Hi Karen, It sounds like you live in paradise! Of course, we all make our heaven somewhere ❤️. Maybe someday I'll get to Australia. Meanwhile, we can all share our love of gardening 🌺. Glad you responded!
Love your videos Rosanne - the plants you choose and your garden style are so unique. I wish you posted more videos! - but maybe with this new woodland garden, we will see more of your talents.
It's such a pleasure when I find another video from you. The woodland garden will be just as beautiful as the rest of your garden. We have a wild patch of may apples growing nearby. Indian pink is another lovely woodland flower, that has a deep red bloom with a yellow star at the top. I look forward to seeing it all grow, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your beautiful videos. I am a beginner gardener and started a woodland garden in my side yard. You have inspired me to look at so many other shade options. 🌱
Wonderful video, Rosanne! You inspire me! I finished planting my new perennial garden yesterday. It's a work in progress that will be added to over the years!
Thanks for sharing all the information! Love woodland gardens. I will be shopping for native plants this weekend, at an annual plant sale. Most of the plants will be for a more sunny border.
Hi Petra, Glad you enjoyed the garden! Have fun at the plant sale picking out your native plants. My favorite sunny native is probably Chelone 'Hotlips", aka the Turtlehead plant.
You will make a video when everything is more mature won't you? I think your garden videos are wonderful. I also like your whimsical touches to the garden.
What a wonderful informative video. You included so much information and detail. All the new additions to your woodland garden will be great. I have 2 kinds of mayapple. One is from my mother’s garden so it’s special to me. In my garden the mayapple has spread profusely in the last few years. I’m in zone 8b. I hope yours don’t take over your allotted space.
Thank you Betsy! Whenever we get plants from friends and relatives, they become special. I'm glad your Mayapple is so happy. I will gladly allow mine to spread (I think😏) . Thanks for watching and commenting. 🌿
Hi Linda, Yes! We were able to "re-home" the hosta into other areas of our garden that still had bare ground. There's not much bare space left, however! 😏
It can get three feet in diameter or more. Ours in that area keep getting chewed down by bunnies, so they haven't got very large. But, I love that chartreuse color to brighten up a dark space.
Hello Rosanne...I am enjoying your channel! I would like to plant some groundcover underneath our elevated deck which gets no sun. I would prefer something that does not grow tall. I live in Central Indiana. What types of groundcovers might you suggest?
Without seeing the area, I really am just speculating. But, I"d say your area sounds like a challenging spot with no sun and probably no rain either. The toughest plant I know of, and lovely as well, is Hosta. I'd plant them very dense, as they won't grow very fast in those conditions. Plus, if you get a variegated, or chartreuse variety, such as Sum and Substance, it would visually brighten up the spot. Woodland wildflowers need moist soil and some light. Good luck with whatever you decide!
@@RosannesGarden I have some Hosta's planted underneath the deck, which is on a sloped bank. I am wanting to plant a groundcover to fill in around them.
question, how do you plant around trees? I have tried over and over to plant perennials around trees, but the trees absorb all the water leaving my soil constantly dry...even though I replaced the existing soil with quality soil. Also, the tree roots grew so tight around my planting area that it was almost impossible after a couple of years to dig up remaining plants to relocate them. I had a planter in among this area as well, and tree roots grew up inside the planter! I finally had to give up trying to plant around trees. Any suggestions?
Not all trees have roots so abundant and close to the top of the soil as you describe. Those trees seem extra challenging. Perhaps, under those trees, I might consider a shade-tolerant groundcover. Many groundcovers prefer moisture, but can adapt to less ideal situations. Dry shade is challenging, especially when plants are trying to establish themselves. But, once they do become established (maybe a full year), many are surprisingly resilient. Hosta, fall into this category as well. Give them plenty of water in the first year and they are usually fine after that. Hope this helps!
The drip irrigation was installed professionally. It is one of three drip zones we have in our garden. As to the berries, the red and white baneberries (Actaea) are very toxic. Birds stay away from them, as do rabbits and purportedly, deer. However, we have plenty of berry trees that the birds flock to.
Love your garden. However, I would like to add that one Virgin's bower clematis is capable of covering the pole. It is a very large vigorous clematis, 4 of them is an overkill.
Thank you. Admittedly, I over-ordered. If all the Virgin's bower take off, I understand cutting back will be necessary. So far, they've been pokey. Maybe this is the year!
Thank you! Our Dolly is such a little sweetheart! I will be sure to give her a big smooch from you. At five years old now, she's pretty smart about not munching on plants, but she does have a weakness for the fruits of our service berry tree 🌱.
We have a professionally-installed irrigation system with both rotors (that spray) and drip zones. The hoses in the woodland garden are part of that system and considered "drip hoses" not soaker hoses, as I stated in the video. I hope it wasn't confusing; my husband corrected me later. Hope that helps.
Where do you live? I live in South East Wisconsin. I want to develope my gardens into natural native plantings. There are a few shaded areas There are a few trillium. I cut down some overgrown box elder trees Now the trillium are struggling do to the added sun. Any suggestions for more native plants?
Hi and greetings to South East Wisconsin! Glad to hear you are welcoming native plantings to your garden. I do have some trillium that actually are in quite a bit of sun and they do fine.They go dormant and disappear sometime in August, but they come up strong every spring. So... good luck on your trillium! Regarding other plants, I'd recommend perusing (online or request a paper catalog) native plants from prairienursery.com or prairiemoon.com. One is a Wisconsin company and the other one is out of Winona, Minnesota. They'll have lots of good ideas on native plants!
Oops, just realized I never responded to your first question. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USDA Zone 4. Sorry you missed in the first few seconds of the video (in print).
Hi Teresa, the hoses are part of our irrigation system and are not ordinary garden hoses. We have our zones set up so that I can just irrigate the woodland garden if I choose to. It's very convenient.
That can be an issue. Most of the plants were showing when I planted the new wildflowers. But, I did occasionally dig up a Jack-in-the-pulpit corm. I just buried it elsewhere.
Greetings! I have heard that, but it doesn't seem to be the case with mine. Maybe they're not getting enough sun, or the soil pH is wrong, but I am on my second batch right now. I was hoping for a colony, but no such luck yet.
It's always such a treat when you post a new video. Your gardens are such a peaceful place.
Thank you Jessica. I appreciate you saying that. 🌹🌿
What a beautiful garden. Wonderful to see native plants showcased.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Your garden is so well put together Rosanne - the time and care you put into the design shines through. I need to take a leaf out of your book!

Do you have information or a video on the drip irrigation? Also are all the berries mentioned edible by birds? Poisonous?
The drip irrigation was installed professionally. It is one of three drip zones we have in our garden. As to the berries, the red and white baneberries (Actaea) are very toxic. Birds stay away from them, as do rabbits and purportedly, deer. However, we have plenty of berry trees that the birds flock to.
Love your garden. However, I would like to add that one Virgin's bower clematis is capable of covering the pole. It is a very large vigorous clematis, 4 of them is an overkill.
Thank you. Admittedly, I over-ordered. If all the Virgin's bower take off, I understand cutting back will be necessary. So far, they've been pokey. Maybe this is the year!
A woodland garden update video? Or garden tour? Thanks
Coming soon!
How do you keep weeds from between your stone pathway and moss to grow instead
Great question. It takes a lot of hand weeding. I just get into a zone and pluck away. Surprisingly, if the ground is wet, it doesn’t take that long.
give Dolly a smooch for me! Your garden is lovely :^). (I'm sure you know Baneberry is toxic)
Thank you! Our Dolly is such a little sweetheart! I will be sure to give her a big smooch from you. At five years old now, she's pretty smart about not munching on plants, but she does have a weakness for the fruits of our service berry tree 🌱.
👍👍👍
Thanks! ☺️
What watering systems are in your garden?
We have a professionally-installed irrigation system with both rotors (that spray) and drip zones. The hoses in the woodland garden are part of that system and considered "drip hoses" not soaker hoses, as I stated in the video. I hope it wasn't confusing; my husband corrected me later. Hope that helps.
Where do you live? I live in South East Wisconsin. I want to develope my gardens into natural native plantings. There are a few shaded areas
There are a few trillium. I cut down some overgrown box elder trees
Now the trillium are struggling do to the added sun. Any suggestions for more native plants?
Hi and greetings to South East Wisconsin! Glad to hear you are welcoming native plantings to your garden. I do have some trillium that actually are in quite a bit of sun and they do fine.They go dormant and disappear sometime in August, but they come up strong every spring. So... good luck on your trillium! Regarding other plants, I'd recommend perusing (online or request a paper catalog) native plants from prairienursery.com or prairiemoon.com. One is a Wisconsin company and the other one is out of Winona, Minnesota. They'll have lots of good ideas on native plants!
Oops, just realized I never responded to your first question. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USDA Zone 4. Sorry you missed in the first few seconds of the video (in print).
@@RosannesGarden I'm in metro Milwaukee, zone 5 so yes your a little colder. I was wondering if plants your growing will work for me.
Are you using water timer. What kind of timer ?
Hi, a timer is part of our overall irrigation system. We usually only run the system manually, and only when it is dry.
Are you using garden hose
Hi Teresa, the hoses are part of our irrigation system and are not ordinary garden hoses. We have our zones set up so that I can just irrigate the woodland garden if I choose to. It's very convenient.
A really interestig combination, I bet it'll look nice. Though I'd keep an eye on the dog in there, some of those plants are pretty poisonous.
Thanks! We totally needed to supervise Dolly as a pup, but now she has no interest in the plants. Yay.
When nothing is growing and showing above ground, how can you tell where to dig without harming what is already there? I'd be afraid to dig.
That can be an issue. Most of the plants were showing when I planted the new wildflowers. But, I did occasionally dig up a Jack-in-the-pulpit corm. I just buried it elsewhere.

Podophyllum peltatum spreads aggressively over time
Greetings! I have heard that, but it doesn't seem to be the case with mine. Maybe they're not getting enough sun, or the soil pH is wrong, but I am on my second batch right now. I was hoping for a colony, but no such luck yet.
