- It's been a few weeks since our last #gardentour so it's time for an update. Today, we'll show you our newest flowerbed that we just started this year (2023). And show you what it looked like before we planted.
We only bought a few plants to go in this middle flower bed. The rest are plants (perennials and annuals) that we grew from seed and cuttings.
It's grown a lot this summer here in Denmark (Zone 8a), and we're excited to take you on a garden tour now and see how it keeps developing in the years to come. Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Your garden bed is so inspirational. I am taking notes.
🥰That's great to hear! Thanks for watching and let us know if we can help with the note taking ;)
Thank you for the video. I don't understand English, but I understand the language of flowers. Therefore, everything is clear to me. Your flower beds are beautiful. Russia. Tatarstan.
Thank you very much for your kind comment, so glad you liked it. I can´t wait for another great garden season.
What a spectacular garden! And such lovely and natural hosts!
🥰 That means a lot to us! We don’t feel like natural hosts at all 😅…but we’re happy with what we’re blessed with here and would love for others to see what is possible in a small garden.
This collection of plants is so beautiful.
Thanks so much, guys! Your garden is also stunning. We'd love to have that much space to create.
15:35 What a picturesque scene! I love hearing children play in the garden.
If I may, I think planting a thin evergreen in the garden bed to the left would look splendid. Maybe an arborvitae?
Thanks for that! Our son loves playing in the garden... especially since we've had a pretty good summer weather-wise.
And thanks for the suggestion! ... always happy with those. That whole section is a also a work-in-progress... so we'll keep trying things out.
What a brilliant and beautiful space. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience and garden 🙏🏻
Thank you for watching, Paulie! We love to talk about our little garden... not very big, but we're trying to pack a punch.

❤ Thanks for commenting 😊. We’re very happy with our 2023 garden - and super ready for this year’s!
A very good morning from the UK. You have a beautiful garden. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a good day.😊
Thanks, Micky! And a godmorgen from Denmark back to you :)
Your garden is my dream! It’s beautiful. I can never seem to get mine as bushy as I want for that wild cottage feel. So I appreciate you naming them all. I will be going seed hunting soon!
Thank you for watching! Planting very close together helps us get that full cottage garden look - it also means that we have to move plants often when one overtakes another... but that's easy to do with perennials. Good luck seed hunting :)
Thanks for the tour! You guys are slowly (but surely!) becoming one of my favourite garden channels. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden! 💚
😍 You are so very welcome and thank you for taking the tour with us 😊. Can't wait until we've secured a permanent spot on your 'favorite garden channel' list 😎
LOL! Keep up the good work! 😅
@@urszuladebska6428 on it 😇
This video got me thinking about how exactly to store my seeds I collected this year (trying for the first time, I usually just purchase new plants but this is getting more and more expensive). Seems some seeds like the fridge, some room temp, moisture content is important as well as storing in paper so they don’t mold (I bought special little jars for this purpose boohoo!)
Anyway, lovely informative video even for those of us in different climate zones.
❤
Do seed collecting! We store all of our seeds in paper coffee filters and keep them in our garden shed. For those needing cold, we sometimes use the freezer… but it’s easier for us to sow them in December and put them in the greenhouse (it’s not heated)… that way they go thru the temperature changes (cold, etc) without us having to work so hard.
Cuttings, too! Those have been a great way for us to propagate and get plants to fill our spaces.
I could go on and on about seed collecting 😂… but I’ll stop boring you now. Let me know if I can help tho.
I also leave some of the spend gaillardia blooms because I love their spherical seed heads. :) They look like pompoms
They do.... plus, by the season's end, Allen is so tired of collecting seeds. haha
Love your flowers, I'd rather have flowers than a lawn also , hard to get started but once established its easy maintenance
Totally agree! And our lawn was just so wet most of the year. With gravel, we can at least walk outside without sliding in muddy grass.
Very interesting plantings! Inspiring garden tour.
Thanks for watching :)
Very beautiful oasis . Ur garden is lush and healthy. How do u keep them so nice. Ur plants are so happy to be taking care by u guys. Thanks for showing us ur garden. Very inspirational. Love ur videos.
Thank you for such kind words! We enjoy our garden... and I think that helps them look so happy :)
So BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for the inspirational tour🌿❤️🏡✨
Thank you for watching, Jessica! Hope you enjoyed our little garden tour.
I absolutely love y'alls flower garden on both sides of your path. Such beautiful flowers annuals and perennials. I subscribed. Amazing how those tiny seeds grow to be huge beautiful flower's. I plant zinnias seeds every year and save the seeds. I got zinnias planted in almost every flower garden's.❤
Thank you for subscribing! :)
And we totally know what you mean... tiny tiny seeds become these incredible plants.
We love zinnias... we had them in previous years but just forgot to get them out this year. I'm sure yours are gorgeous!
I keep chipping away at my lawn grass. I would love to have my garden similar to yours. The rain has been so bad this year my grass is sodden. I have brought one bed forward and made another bed and love having the extra room for more perennials and bushes!
We completely understand. And honestly, it was one of our best decisions.
Beautiful garden! Weeding is a lot of work but the rewards are limitless💜💜💜 Happy gardening!
Totally agree 🥰. Thanks for watching our videos. It means a lot to us 😃
Beautiful border. I really like your plants and have a lot of the same ones in my own garden. Interesting that the Argyranthemum is the Danish national flower. My home town Helston in Cornwall has Lily of the Valley and every 8th May which is called Flora Day, people attach it to their lapels and people dance through the streets and houses. I live in Cheshire now and really miss my home town. Your garden is stunning.
Thanks so much for sharing that story! Flora Day sounds wonderful 💜. And this is one of my favorite things about RUclips - all of the wonderful gardeners out there who get to find each other.
Your garden is absolutely beautiful!
Coming from you and your garden... that means a lot :)
Really nice flower garden.lovely!
Thank you for watching!
I see PERFECTION!! Such an absolutely beautiful garden. I'm working towards a free style, gorgeous garden myself. Thank you for making my day. 🌺 I truly enjoy seeing gardens that everyday people establish.
Thank you for such sweet words! And we love the freestyle feeling of our garden... we plant what we like (and with perennials, you can always move them around if it doesn't work out). Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing fellas! Such a great channel for gardening inspiration!
Glad you enjoyed it, Dean!
Stunning ❤
Thank you! 😊
Your garden is fantastic and such an inspiration. New followers here from the UK! Paul and Andrew
Thanks, guys! Can’t wait to dive into your channel, too.
@perennial-garden Thanks, that's great, glad to have found you guys.
Your garden looks incredible! I’m amazed this is its first year. Mine is on its second year and doesn’t look half as good. It’s all perennials and shrubs. I think I should consider including annuals. I also need to improve my soil. I live on a river and my soil is at least 90% sand. And before I torn it out to make room for beds, I had tired old turf grass that surly depleted the limited nutrients available in my sandy soil
Yes, for this middle flower bed, it's the first year... the others we've been working on since we moved to this house in 2018.
Do try adding a few annuals... it's how we keep color and blooms throughout the whole spring/summer. When a perennial finishes (and if we're not letting it go to seed), we cut it back and add an annual to give that 'empty' spot some color.
And you're right about the soil. An easy trick is to collect the leaves that fall on your property in the autumn and let them sit in plastic bags (we use big garbage bags). Then we add the leaves, almost like mulch, on top of our soil at the end of winter/start of spring. We also make compost all year with food waste, clippings, etc... and spread that at the end of the summer and again at the start of spring. It helps the soil for sure.
Beautiful garden!
Thanks for visiting!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Ur garden is always beautiful. How do u guys maintain such a lush and healthy garden… I wonder if your plants are ever unhappy under ur guys hands ….😂 . Love the videos. Very inspirational. Thanks for showing us ur oasis.
Sorry I’m so chatty today but as far as hand weeding from the walkway, I have found after years of using chemical herbicides and fighting torrential weeds in my walkways, I decided to hand weed this year. At first it is daunting but if you are diligent and stay with it, the amount of weeds drops about 90% and it’s not bad at all!
I will print and frame this for when I think it gets too much! haha
But that's what we're thinking, too... and we'd like to not use chemicals if possible. It's a small space... so we can manage for sure :)
Lovely garden❤
Thanks for watching our video! And for commenting... it means a lot to us :)
What a great transformation! I love all the colors in the garden! Beautiful!
Thanks so much! 😊
Enjoyed this video very much❤
That's great to hear 🥰 (it means a lot to us!)
amazing how mature your garden looks just after one year
We're surprised, too. We looked back at May/June and it just wasn't as full as the other, older parts. But after several weeks of rain (normal for Danish summer), the plants really started to come out.
Beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for visiting!
Looks great , good choices on plant placement
Thanks so much! We're happy with it -- especially for its first year :)
The salvia viridis (hope I spelled that right) looks so pretty. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that salvia before. The apricot cosmos is gorgeous as well. I planted a mix this year and they are pink and white. I really love the cosmos but they get huge here. My cosmos are currently five foot tall and they were supposed dwarf flowers lol
Really tall dwarves 😅. Yeah, that variety is one of our new favorites - and Lars is already planning to collect seeds and have more of it next year. 😳😂
@@perennial-gardenyes! Please do because they’re gorgeous. Your pink hydrangea is so pretty!
Love your flower beds!!!! What garden zone?
Thanks so much! We’re in Denmark with the equivalent to Zone 8a.
When you deadhead do you pitch the spent flowers into the soil instead of removing the recently spent flowers? How old are you guys? You are both energetic and agile with squatting and getting up easily.
Hi, Carol! First, thanks for saying that we seem agile and energetic! We'll take it as a huge compliment. haha. We're 46 and 41.
As for deadheading, we toss the spent flowers into a bucket and then put them in our compost. If we didn't have a compost bin, we'd toss them on the ground for sure. Hope that helps :)
Beautiful garden! What is the planting zone in your part of Denmark? You have given me lots of ideas for next year's seed starting! Thank you from upstate New York.
Thanks for watching! We're considered Zone 8a here in our part... Fredericia is town on the east coast of Jylland (the part of Denmark that connects with Germany). And super glad that you're a seed starter, too :)
@@perennial-garden I am in zone 5a, so I have more limitations on varieties. Still, I am able to grow my favorites! Thanks for sharing your garden!
New Subscriber here! Just discovered your channel and really enjoyed this video! It’s also cool to learn some things about Denmark (and you guys too, of course) from North Carolina, USA.
Welcome welcome welcome! P.S. North Carolina is on our must-see list when we visit the states again.
@@perennial-garden , wonderful! You probably need to see the Outer Banks and Biltmore, Asheville, mountains!. I am in central NC so it’s perfect to be in between both. You guys are fun to watch together and looking forward to more “getting to know you”. ☺
@@loribullis6238 Outer Banks... we've seen the TV show on netflix ;) that probably doesn't count. haha.
But the Biltmore... we saw a Christmas special about their gorgeous decorations before. So many great places to go visit🥰
@@perennial-garden Shows how with it I am- I don’t know that show but will check it out! 🤔 YES, Biltmore at Christmas- oh my goodness it’s amazing but then I’ve been in August and the gardens are breathtaking too!! I want to visit during tulip time one year as well. I think there is a Hallmark movie coming this Christmas season that was filmed at Biltmore, which will be fun to look out for (do you get Hallmark Channel there?). Gardening is my summer obsession and Christmas decorating is my off season obsession I guess one could say. Do you guys do much in Denmark for Christmas? I have a new house this year so my mind is spinning with ideas for inside and out and I’m thinking of nine trees!? 😳 We will see if my energy holds out for that. Not to mention new build equals tons of new beds and exciting plants and designs, which has been my Summer and I still have a long way to go but lots of plans so watching gardeners like you guys inspires me and keeps me excited!!
@@loribullis6238 9 trees?! it would be incredible for sure :). In Denmark, Christmas is much 'quieter' than in the USA... it's very dark because of the long nights... so we do a lot with candles. And only live trees... it's very hard to find a fake tree here.
But we loveeeee watching the American shows like (i forget the name) Christmas Light Fight or something like that... where the houses had to decorate and win. Super over the top....but equally magical :)
I think I heard Mozart playing the piano 🌞
🥰 He'd write a sonata called 'Maybe Too Many Flowers'. haha
Thank you for visiting and for such a wonderful comment!
“…when we burn witches in Denmark” ? 😳
Lol
haha! They do! It's a festival called Sankt Hans Festival... it's basically like Mid Summer (for the Swedes). Long story short... some villages still burn 'fake' witches -- the belief in the old days was that doing so kept evil spirits away.
OH... and they believed that the witches then flew off to Germany to live there! haha.
@@perennial-gardenlol, send them to Germany! Seriously, though, very interesting bit of history. 😊
