I am a belated gardener and I love it! My Mother was the true gardener in the family assisted by my Father. My sister and l often regretted not having paid attention to how she and my Father maintained such beautiful gardens. Both of our parents have passed now but miraculously, I have developed a love for gardening. I have become my Mother.🥀🌷🌸🌳
This video was so encouraging and helpful for figuring out what to grow in my shady front yard. I've been so discouraged in the past and mostly potted inpatients every season to go with my hostas (the only thing that seemed to grow for me and come back in the spring in this shady area). Again thank you for sharing your great tutorial and gardening expertise.
Katherine Crouch, BBC Gardener of the Decade! My jaw dropped to see her do that old school style of bed prepping. Fantastic and you can see why she earned the title. Also a lovely planting, never mind the camera work.
Love this and oh boy did it look amazing 4 weeks on. Loved how you did the plant ledger on the left of the screen as the camera rolled over the plants, that was such a good touch. Thanks for all the effort 💜💜💜
Excellent video. The best bit for me was near the end when you listed the plants' names using fly out labels that remain long enough for the viewer to jot down a shopping list.
YEH I liked it too. a tad longer wld have been ideal. What I did was pause and take a snapshot on my phone that i could look at when i go plant shopping
OMG! I wasn't prepared for 9:18!! What a treat! This was an extremely well done video. You deserve major kudos for your ability to instruct, for your follow-through on the results (didn't leave us hanging...yea!), for your tastefully interspersed musical interludes, and for your ability to make me believe even I could do something similar.
You are an angel and this video is heaven sent, I haven’t a scooby when it comes to gardening but I’m keen to start 😬 been on the hunt for something simple and straight forward to help me understand, thank you 🙂
It is amazing how fast they will settle in and grow, I live in the US(Minnesota) dug a new bed in my yard and in a few weeks several hostas were blooming. Had no flower stalks when put in.
This is really quite easy to do, pity many people prefer to tarmac/stone/brick over their lawns these days rather than planting plants, then they wonder why we keep having floods in the UK.
they don't even wonder...they spray roundup like it's candy on our foods...sorry...you probably are really in awe at the herd stupidity presenting itself all over where commonsense is not a factor in life as we know it now....the new normal isn't going away without bloodshed....doubt all.
I really wish you gardeners who post such wonderful and helpful instruction in your videos would post below the plants used so they would be easy to copy. Thanks for the tool info posted.
Hit the screen in the middle that will halt the video then hit the screen anywhere but not on any arrow this will bring brightness back to the screen do this when the list is on at the end To start video again hit the big arrowhead
wow, what a great video with carefully explained, step-by-step instructions! I live in deep shade in the Pacific NW and have a lot of trouble planting beds that will thrive. I'll be using the tips from this video for future plans. Thanks so very much!
Katherine, Hi from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Love your enthusiasm for gardening. Love your videos. Keep them rolling. Great ideas for my shade gardens
Thank you for the easy to follow instructions. I have a mostly shade backyard. I only wish i had your videos when i initially planted my flower beds in the shade 15 years ago. [Ohio, USA]
this was meant to be. I have north face full shade garden area i am overhauling now. Complete list has been taken giving proper thanks to Katherine Crouch!
Thank you so much for slowly printing the plant names alongside the corresponding picture of the plant - Sooo helpful and the first time I've seen that done. Brilliant 👌👍🌱 thankyou
Very informative, Ive been planting the wrong flowers for two years now. I was frustrated that my flowers(pettunias) weren't growing. Im redoing the entire garden next year.
Yes, it looks nice. For now. But in two years time, when the plants have grown, you can get rid of half of them already. Some plants tend to run and overtake. So I just put in extra annuals in the first few years and leave enough space, that I can have those patches of color also after two years. Must compliment you on the lovely distribution of color and texture in the plants. From dark green to almost yellow, this spot will look lively even without the splashes of flower color. Yet, I stick with putting less in at first, to leave room for growth.
You are a magician! Great demo!!! The music that plays at the end proves it! Was that Strauss or Rimsky-Korsakov?!!! I'm only familiar with some of the classic. Anyway- thanks and beautiful work!
There was a flag at about 6 minutes that said click here for list of shade plants. When I clicked I stoped the video. Where do I find the list? Great video
Oh my word, why did she dig up the beautiful blue wildflowers and that daisy? I would have have treated them as gifts as they are growing there and are stunning
would these plants survive a coastal Scottish garden? (Moving to new house where shrubs were all pulled out near driveway, a much bigger area and not in the shade, I dont think)
the end of the clip there was quite a bit of sun. Will these plants do well in complete shade? (say the spot where tall building cover all the sun? Bright outdoor area but no sun at all
My Aucuba just won't flourish. I Planted three about three years ago in a shady area under an eave. One died one is barely hanging on, all the leaves are wilting. The third plant has grown, but looks very sgraggly and bent. Any suggestions.
Who went crazy at 7.20 with the music...fabulous planting and labelling them all at the end too was fantastic

It is in you. You can definitely start now and learn as you go. I say get out there and plant. Not all will be successes but so what. :D.
Fluerk
@@Rinsuki Agreed. Thank you.
Love her voice, style, everything!
It's beautiful. More people should try gardening.
jessi330 yes so many people suffer from depression I have had sad times but get gardening time gone and you have a lovely garden

You are right I and my husband love gardening 🪴💕
Who's here 2021 when everyone had gardened the c**p out of their spaces :D

I think the best plants to put in dark shady areas are bulbs
YOU ARE SO AWESOME WITH YOUR HANDS OF PLANTING AND GARDENING. JUST AWESOME BEAUTIFUL WORK.

Nice touch "Beautiful Blue Danube."
You did a spectacular job! I’ve watched many landscaping videos. This is the best one yet! 😊
This is really quite easy to do, pity many people prefer to tarmac/stone/brick over their lawns these days rather than planting plants, then they wonder why we keep having floods in the UK.
Darryl Wadley they also wonder why the bees are disappearing!
Sadly I don’t think they wonder about any of it I think it should be illegal not to have 2/3 of your garden as soil or grass
they don't even wonder...they spray roundup like it's candy on our foods...sorry...you probably are really in awe at the herd stupidity presenting itself all over where commonsense is not a factor in life as we know it now....the new normal isn't going away without bloodshed....doubt all.

A true art of gardening. ⚘
Thank you for the easy to follow instructions. I have a mostly shade backyard. I only wish i had your videos when i initially planted my flower beds in the shade 15 years ago. [Ohio, USA]
wow that looks great and the plants grew so quick
That creeping jenny is beautiful!
this was meant to be. I have north face full shade garden area i am overhauling now. Complete list has been taken giving proper thanks to Katherine Crouch!
I’m looking to buy a house with a north face garden. Is it a nightmare or have you made it work?
Wow! Thank you so much for this demo--I'm a beginner and this was very helpful. Ending was brilliant!
Thank you so much for slowly printing the plant names alongside the corresponding picture of the plant - Sooo helpful and the first time I've seen that done. Brilliant 👌👍🌱 thankyou
This is almost as good as Acorn Antiques!
Looks so good.
Thanks
It would been handy to have a list of plants many thanks
Very informative, Ive been planting the wrong flowers for two years now. I was frustrated that my flowers(pettunias) weren't growing. Im redoing the entire garden next year.
Very helpful ... background music was annoying at times, I wondered if Katherine would do a cabriole across the bedding? But gave me some good info.
shes a great gardener
Very true
So enjoyed the video! Now inspired to make a wonderful spring shade garden! Thank you for sharing your expertise! Happy gardening!
That was a lot of work. Great job!
How beautiful ❤️
Beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration. 🌿🌾☘🌱🌺🥀🌸
you are one hard workier, and the garden is lovely. the flowers are beautiful great job.
Yes, it looks nice. For now. But in two years time, when the plants have grown, you can get rid of half of them already. Some plants tend to run and overtake. So I just put in extra annuals in the first few years and leave enough space, that I can have those patches of color also after two years.

I wish you were my neighbor! You are inspiring! Lovely garden..
….but I do love the plant choices, and the structure 🎉
Yay, thank you!
Loved this brilliant idea and really practical. Thank you !!
what a scrumptious finish garden... great music
Waiting for the ballerina! Beautiful job. Thank you.
Wonderful video. Very informative and beautiful planting. Thanks you for sharing this video. 👍
Look at you go! So strong! Wonderful to watch! Keep at it!
Wow this was a great video. I’m ready to start gardening. Thank you
Outstanding results
Great to have the before and after
Just wonderful!
great advice.
you are full of knowledge.
would love your insights on starting a city vegetable garden.
Wow. When is the best time to do this. Is June not a good idea ?
Beautiful madam. God bless you
Give them liquid seaweed if you don't want to use synthetic fertiliser. It does amazing things to plants
Beautiful results!!
Still looks good, its 2017 so it was a success! Would really like a update..........Thanks Catherine...........
So beautiful 😃
Gorgeous!
Great work , thank you . It became a lovely corner garden with good planting and care ;-)
Lovely
You are a magician! Great demo!!! The music that plays at the end proves it! Was that Strauss or Rimsky-Korsakov?!!! I'm only familiar with some of the classic. Anyway- thanks and beautiful work!
That is Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker by P. Tchaikovsky
Wish i had all those temperate weedy flowers here🥺
There was a flag at about 6 minutes that said click here for list of shade plants. When I clicked I stoped the video. Where do I find the list? Great video
Very good 👍, looks great, may I ask what zone u r n? Also where r u located,
I am in the beautiful state of North Carolina, zone 8a
extraordinary!!!!thank you
Can you add a mulch of compost instead of digging it in? Does it do the same thing?
Do you have a symphony following you around while you garden?
JustLouIt lol I found that funnier than i probably should have.
LOL!
The answer is yes!, as every gardener knows. . .
@JustLouIt:
We Know she does!!!
I usually do. Sometimes, the music just comes out of nowhere!
Great video
Enjoyed that.
you are so sweet! Thank you for sharing this beautiful work
Beautiful
Oh my word, why did she dig up the beautiful blue wildflowers and that daisy? I would have have treated them as gifts as they are growing there and are stunning
1:18 I've come across some of those on my trip to Amsterdam
Of the decade whow
Would the no dig method have worked here? Seems like an awful lot of work getting that soil prepared....
Wicked! Mrs. Crotch!
Excellent film. I cannot find the list of the plants used. Would be useful.
Bedlamartist They are listed on the screen on the last couple of minutes of the video as the plants are shown.
@@noreenfenton8544 Thank you for he help
Wow.. pardon my french, but this lady knows her $hit!! Good stuff... beautiful results.
Excellent work..hope you can help I've done the same but using bark...do I lay the plants first or bark first? I've also used weed fabric.
I'm looking for a flowering shade climber. Just curious what was on the trellises on the back wall?
Very energetic person
informative video, nice job..may I please have
a list of the plants
?? There is a list at the end of the video! Not that it will do us any good but I don't have a clue which name goes with which plant.
would these plants survive a coastal Scottish garden? (Moving to new house where shrubs were all pulled out near driveway, a much bigger area and not in the shade, I dont think)
Great info...but crazy Nutracker music!
the end of the clip there was quite a bit of sun. Will these plants do well in complete shade? (say the spot where tall building cover all the sun? Bright outdoor area but no sun at all
My Aucuba just won't flourish. I Planted three about three years ago in a shady area under an eave. One died one is barely hanging on, all the leaves are wilting. The third plant has grown, but looks very sgraggly and bent. Any suggestions.
one more step for those who don't mind some mild chemical use would be top layer of prodiamine to keep the weeds from re-sprouting.
Gorgeous.
Wahh cantik nyaa.
Crackling.......thanks.
love the music!
Waltz of the Flowers
Music fights with your voice. Thank you for sharing this video.
What is the espaliered shrub please Katherine? Here in Oz I'd like to grow one on a south-facing wall. Thanks for all the good suggestions.
Wow, stunning, how do you keep slugs off the hostas ?
Try copper tape around pots.
