Creating a Private, Secluded Backyard | Volunteer Gardener

These homeowners are indeed landscape designers, and plant people. Annette Shrader takes us through the gate to find a densely planted backyard retreat that will have one thinking there are no neighbors. The reality is that there are neighbors on all sides. A great selection of trees, shrubs and perennials accent the ponds and sitting spots. Themed garden areas make a visitor feel as if they are a world away from the busy city when in fact it is just minutes from the urban core. To WATCH full episodes, visit www.volunteergardener.org

I would have never thought that this was a 1/4 of an acre.

Me neither

Omg beautiful.
I tried to do the same. I planted all around for privacy.
I have 4 koi ponds. I love to relax there. My wife and I now garden together.
Great video.

I'm utterly amazed at the size of this garden, it looks huge. Thanks for having us.

[@P_Belle]

@wende- that is exactly my thought! It looks well over 1 acre. Not sure if it is the density or the height of the trees or a combination of all.

[@itsmewende]

@@P_Belle
Could be an illusion, a combination of both. Or, it's just 1 ginormous garden.

[@erickanyc8907]

I wish you and your family many more years with your lovely garden! TFS!

Wow .25 acre?? Amazing

[@karlsenula9495]

Love hostas- have 30 different varieties but have too many rabbits and deer who ravish them. Just saw a rabbit 5 minutes ago nibbling on my forsythia cutting 🤦‍♂️.
Especially fascinated by the understory mid height plantings in this garden ... lovely garden.
What do you plant for privacy and density in the understory?

[@32speedygonzales]

Karl Senula try Milorganite ... keeps the deer away and it’s good “food” for Hosta.

[@karlsenula9495]

@@32speedygonzales thank you very much I will look into getting some.
