I’m team “not to have boxwood hedge”. Just not a look that I prefer. I think your romance country garden plan works much better with your lovely property. Just my opinion. ❤
Be cautious of boxwood moths, blight, etc. Maybe they’re not prevalent in your area but certainly where I am I’m starting to replace yew bushes instead of using boxwood.🌷🇨🇦
I have a number of boxwood hedges and am surprised by the rate of growth. They grow faster than expected and are really a pain to trim. Without placing a cloth to catch the trimmed leaves clean up is tedious.
Your shade garden is looking so pretty; the bruneras have really come on, and look soft and dainty, especially when contrasted with the hostas. Janey, no disrespect to Mr Glassman, but that space calls for a really soft and gentle planting style, with lots of aquilegias (think you call them columbines in America), haconechloas grasses spilling over the edges, astrantias, lady’s mantles and all manner of shade loving, soft perennials. I think a boxwood hedge would make this lovely relaxed space too formal and a bit austere. And no, you definitely don’t need any more heucheras -as lovely as they are! 😂 Too many other plants clamouring for attention, such as thalictrums, which would look gorgeous against that white wall. The list is endless! Perhaps you could plant a boxwood hedge around the circle area, at the end of the shade garden, which would frame it nicely, and perhaps even extend it to your checkered patio. Greetings from England 🏴
I'm going to chime in here and say NO to boxwood. It's just not your style and I agree about the soft and gentle look. I also suggest ferns for that shaded garden. I have them in my shade garden and love the look. That would fill in some of those blank places very nicely.
Well done Janey & Jason 😍 I’m thinking a boxwood hedge would make the space look very narrow, then with what you’re adding to the trellises and arches, it would feel claustrophobic when walking/sitting in that area. Remember country romance Janey 😉 private yet airy and light.
Wouldn't it better to grow vines up trellises rather than growing on the house. It may look nice but I've heard negatives comments about growing on walls of the houses. The garden is really coming along! Looks Great!!!
If planting small/dwarf boxwoods keeping trimmed in a sphere shape not actual hedge form would look very nice with your shaded perennials behind or among them.😊 Having boxwoods on property will have green and interest all four seasons plus less maintenance. Happy Gardening!
Maybe add some boxwood shrubs in the 4 corners at the square border near the fountain or boxwood topiaries (😍) somewhere in there but not a formal hedge. It would be too formal for your country setting. All in all a beautiful start on your new property. Love watching you guys working together to create the home/garden of your dreams❣️
Have you thought of “supply outposts” ? I have a large mailbox (with decorative mailbox cover) that contains spare tape measure, spare secateurs, Phillips screwdriver, regular screwdriver, spare gloves ( in airtight box to bugs out), plant ties, folding razor and anything else small you might need when away from main storage. Oh, and trowel!! Doesn’t have to be mailbox, that just easier solution for me. Just a thought . . .
I do the same! I have 3 in my yard for convenience and just bought one of Vego's garden boxes that hang on the side of their raised beds, which I love.
What if you did a boxwood ball in each of the four interior corners next to the seating and fountain area? It would add some winter interest and just a bit of structure without overwhelming the area.
I agree, no hedge! With a beautiful path like that, it feels fitting to have perennials and ground covers spilling out of the boarders onto the path to create a lot naturalistic boarderless look
I'm in favor of the shade garden being romantic country. Personally I think a formal hedge would look out of place in your garden because it would be the only formal part. It's your garden so don't feel obligated to do what Michael or anyone suggests you do.
i wouldn't go with the boxwood hedge. I like the idea of your romance country garden plan. Thanks Jason for helping so much. Everything is looking so good. This is my favorite show I watch every day!!!
I like your ideas for shade garden! Not small hedges. You are a romantic Gardner in my opinion and it has so much more interest!! I love the Cora Bells. I have a few! I am in Ky. And they thrive through the cold winters!! Enjoy your videos!!💗
I love what you've done so far! I think a short boxwood hedge in the shade garden would be lovely, but I'm not sure it goes well with the granite walkway. Boxwood goes better with formal paving, I think. Maybe it's better to allow plants to naturally soften the edges of the walkway and keep the space casual. A hedge would add another level of maintenance, too, so unless you love them, I'd carry on without. The heuchera looks great!
Janey, you can have both. I love my boxwoods! They are the one shrub that is so low maintenance in my garden. They tolerate the heat, the cold, and the squirrels ignore them. Plant your romantic flowers behind the boxwood hedge which is what I have done. The hedge just makes everything neat and tidy and in no way takes away from the softness of my other plants. Just prune your boxwoods with rounded edges. Just drop the word formal and everyone will relax.
Love seeing your garden develop. I like your Country Romance idea better than formal English Garden. I don’t think you really have room for hedges and they would be more work to keep trimmed. Go with Hostas and ferns.
I love the shade garden! I'm a no on the boxwood too! I feel like if you were going to do that it should have been done first and the rest of the garden designed around it. Keep adding plants you love, not plants you feel obligated to plant!
No on the boxwood hedges for me. I love your free flowing look to your garden. Plus boxwood always has spider mites in California. I noticed that when I moved here.
I love the idea of English garden, it already has that vibe with the fountain and the iron patio and the vining walls set-up. Plus you talked about adding topiary too. I think it would elevate the space and challenge you to learn how to do another type of design. I can already see it added in there, it would be so beautiful. I think you would be glad you stepped out of your comfort zone if you try it. I think Michael Glassman has a beautiful eye for garden design. I would trust him and do it!
Go team Janey & Jason! Love the way the shade garden is developing. A mini hedge of boxwood would be a lovely surprise and would add a touch of elegance in that area. Monty digging the holes in the wrong places - I can relate. There’s a reason why pups are so darn cute! 😂
That bistro set would look much better black. The window would look great with black shutters. Love the idea of the climbing vine up the wall. Love the idea of the boxwood hedge because of how small the area is. It would be like a secret garden for the girls. Love it
A hedge would take up half the gardening space you have there. I love what you’ve done already. A couple of boxwoods in beautiful pots may look nice as a compromise. 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌸
The steady transformation of your property, improving it so much and with so much hard work involved, is truly remarkable. And btw, I absolutely agree with all the others that have posted that a boxwood hedge would look out of place in your garden.
Yes, on boxwood hedge or even some placed sporadically in the area and kept in globe form if you don't want a full-on hedge to maintain. They offer such great foundational and evergreen interest in the garden.
You and Jason should take a day trip or even an overnight trip while he is off so he has some fun time even though working in the garden with you I’m sure is fun and wonderful for him. Enjoy a day trip together.❤
I will be shopping at target tomorrow because I have to have those pink gloves! Now you and hubby need to take a trip to Australia, my husband and I were there four years ago and what a beautiful place, what a beautiful experience!
You are so right about Aus. I live in West Australia and after traveling the world, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. So glad you enjoyed visiting our beautiful country.
Great choice on the false hydrangeas! I planted them on three of the four exterior walls of my home. They are awesome! The oldest one really took off last year and is well on its way to covering the front wall. When it gets to a window or the eaves, I simply prune it back, no problem. I think you'll find you won't need the wires. You're going to love them!
Love the checkerboard of heuchera - maybe mimic it to all four corners? Or at least bring the purple over - the last shot with the sun down really showed the punctuation of that arrangement!
I'm not that keen on the boxwood hedge...especially with the heucheras. Some lovely ferns, toad lilies (tricyrtis), hardy geraniums (Rosanne, Bill Wallis), acorus, spider plants with reverse variegation, would be nice. Hellebores are beautiful but not good for dogs if they nibble on them. Some azaleas would be nice here and there. Also, more hakonechloa (Japanese forest grass) in various colors would be really striking! Your beautiful brunneras reminded me that I should find a few for my shade gardens. You will love your shade garden as an oasis from the heat in summer. Also fatshedera are nice in shade and add a little height and bold foliage. So exciting to watch this garden take shape!
Also, I can't even believe the difference in your soil quality from the time you first moved into now. You were digging pretty deep holes and it is a totally different kind of soil. amazing.
Thank you both, I have been growing Hydrangeas for over 40 years and didn’t know there were climbing ones. Now I’m looking at the back yard trying to find a spot for one. Green Acres sound have them. Enjoy these moments together 🌻🌻
Your shade garden is blooming with color! Very pretty! I have a shade garden and my 14 year old dog loves to sit on certain hostas, she's decided that is her outdoor bed, just like my flower garden is a flower bed. They have minds of their own. Monty is a nice dog and very pretty, she'll learn. Keep up the great work, I love and enjoy watching you plant your flowers! Jason is a hugh help to you, you have a nice relationship and it shows.
Love the false hydrangea idea!! I have a retaining wall with a giant crack (it’s an old house) and we’ve patched it several times and it just wants to show. This is a great solution!!!
I must be honest im obsessed with boxwood.. make the shade secret room something different like a surprise when you walk through something different. I’m team go for it! If not a box hedge then at least consider the 4 corners to be spheres - there is something magical about English cottage gardens
Was watching your coffee talk, we had three acres and loved are stock tank pool. All four of us could sit in it. I could even put two chaise lounges in it to cool off. Was so easy to make. Don’t paint! We had it three years was great, I saw a video about painting-did proper etch, prime, paint and it still peeled a year later and was a mess. You can even buy an inflatable hot tub and hook its pump/heater up and it turns it into a hot tub.
@@katiedavis5861 not at all. We kept net hanging near it, scooped out leaves or bugs, kept it covered with in insulated bubble top cheap on Amazon (I’m in Colorado and cold nights) and had the chlorine tabs we dropped in this little thing that floated in it. Used it May through September. Drained it through plug, flipped it over during winter until we did the hot tub thing. Once or twice had to test it and add some extra chlorine or borax. We got a lot of use out of it.
I just received your hats and already used the tan/blue trucker cap today. Perfect timing as I'll see my BFF next week and gift her the mauve one for her birthday. She and her daughter are planning a plant sale so I definitely want to pick out some from her collection. Her property is even larger than yours and on a big lake in the Twin Cities (Minnetonka). We're both recovering plant collectors. Well, me more recovering than she. I've been retired from Target 🎯 Marketing ten years, but remember when buyers would introduce exciting new lines at our meetings. I only "grow" silk flowers indoors. ☺️
I like how you take care of your house and your plants, but I also like that you have time for your family, and also time for you to go to the beauty salon, I also have to go to the beauty salon. Don’t forget to drink lots of water.
I really like the idea of the mini hedge - I think it would be adorable! I had a circular hedge of the boxwood, and you cannot ignore it for a year and be happy - the maintenance was not hard, but you have to stay on it, in my experience. We had to remove it because my daughter is putting in a pool for the grandson. It did make quite the impact but so will the pool I suppose. Love your show - love all the plants you introduce and living vicariously this early spring since I am in a zone 6, lol. Thank-you!
Hi Janey and Jason. The shade garden will look great. A nice space to have afternoon drinks. Loving your improvements on the yard. It’s come a long way in a short time. Still have frost here waiting to plant stuff in my new raised beds. Happy gardening
Yay 😁 first comment! Watching while on vacation in Florida 🌞🌴🩴 and couldn’t miss the daily videos!! 🇨🇦♥️🌸🪴 love the hair Janey!! I like the shade garden without a boxwood hedge. I’d use different shades of Coleus!!
Janey , Good Morning, I can totally see a line of Your Products in Target . “ Dig Plant. Water Repeat “ T-Shirts And Hats , gloves as a set for Mothers Day . They can display garden stuff around your t-shirts.
I planted a climbing hydrangea last year. It is only about an inch bigger at this point. I did notice that there is one stem that seems like it might be going for it to put on a little more growth. If yours is anything like mine, it definitely will not reach the top wire. Mine would not even reach the bottom wire at almost a year later. Gardeners plant with hope and this is one that I think will show off once it gets going and make the waiting time worth it.
Hi Janey and Jason. Oh my your shade garden is looking great!, love the coral bells in groups looking awesome. Have a wonderful rest of the day. And hope your daughter enjoyed her day. 🙂👋
Boxwoods are pretty and make a nice hedge and they seem to grow quickly for us in our zone 8b...however, your husband mentioned he hates the catbox and a word of caution - boxwoods smell like cat urine. Especially when you trim them and/or brush up against them, or it's just a hot day and the odor is wafting off of them. We had a hedge near our swimming pool and had to relocate them somewhere else in the garden where we could not smell them.
Oh my goodness so I’ve been home sick and I’ve been watching your videos from the very very beginning. And I just saw that bistro set when you did the greenhouse makeover with your daughter.
I have 4 of the false climbing hydrangea and love them. Planted them last Spring and they are really doing good! Enjoy!! They will look beautiful in your white stucco walls.
I'm hoping you keep it romantic country, BECAUSE.....I'm doing a shade garden along with you, and I'm not doing boxwood. LOL. I ordered some J of D brunneria today because of you. Love your channel. I hope Jason can join full-time. He's an absolute delight.
Hi Janey…. FYI… make sure you get boxwoods that are resistant to boxwood blight and spider mites…. I just had an invasion? Had to cut my boxwoods way back…. They are in the front of my house and I’m so sad.. they are bald with just a few a new leaves on them.🥰🌺🦋 I think Linda Vater uses “Better Boxwoods”.💐
Boxwood would be a wonderful addition to your shade garden. Even if you didn't want to have a formal hedge, they would be a wonderful addition in groupings of 3 or even anchoring the corners. I have the dwarf english boxwood in my garden, and they require minimal pruning. Go for it!
I laughed way too hard at “well I can always get more plants” after you asked Jason if he liked the huechera. 😊 I have def had that convo with my husband too. Looks great!!
Those two windows in the shade garden would look pretty with shutters on them and window boxes! More growing space😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think that is a great idea. With the bistro set there, it would look like a Paris sidewalk cafe. Such a good idea.
Great idea! Brings character to the house.
Excellent idea! Maybe even some window boxes.
I’m team “not to have boxwood hedge”. Just not a look that I prefer.
I think your romance country garden plan works much better with your lovely property.
Just my opinion. ❤
Be cautious of boxwood moths, blight, etc. Maybe they’re not prevalent in your area but certainly where I am I’m starting to replace yew bushes instead of using boxwood.🌷🇨🇦
I have a number of boxwood hedges and am surprised by the rate of growth. They grow faster than expected and are really a pain to trim. Without placing a cloth to catch the trimmed leaves clean up is tedious.
And I think boxwoods would take up too much space and you need space in your shade garden for all those wonderful plants waiting to be owned!
Your shade garden is looking so pretty; the bruneras have really come on, and look soft and dainty, especially when contrasted with the hostas. Janey, no disrespect to Mr Glassman, but that space calls for a really soft and gentle planting style, with lots of aquilegias (think you call them columbines in America), haconechloas grasses spilling over the edges, astrantias, lady’s mantles and all manner of shade loving, soft perennials.

I totally agree! Love those suggestions…I would like some ferns…do Columbine and bleeding hearts work in your zone? Liguria?
I agree with many of these comments - NO to a boxwood hedge. It just doesn’t fit the country aesthetic you have.
I'm going to chime in here and say NO to boxwood. It's just not your style and I agree about the soft and gentle look. I also suggest ferns for that shaded garden. I have them in my shade garden and love the look. That would fill in some of those blank places very nicely.
I agree , no boxwoods...
Oh those are lovely ideas. I hope Janey listens to you. 👍
I think you should go with the country romance theme in the secret garden. Boxwoods would take more upkeep keeping them trimmed as a hedge.
True! And they can really take up space. Too rigid a look for the softness and shade cottagey look here.
Janey imo no boxwoods you like color and textures
Well done Janey & Jason 😍
I’m thinking a boxwood hedge would make the space look very narrow, then with what you’re adding to the trellises and arches, it would feel claustrophobic when walking/sitting in that area.

Maybe a couple boxwood topiaries but hedge takes up a lot of space…like it better in the circle area
Black shutters would look super cute and charming on those windows in the side garden….
Maybe add some boxwood shrubs in the 4 corners at the square border near the fountain or boxwood topiaries (😍) somewhere in there but not a formal hedge. It would be too formal for your country setting. All in all a beautiful start on your new property. Love watching you guys working together to create the home/garden of your dreams❣️
Everyone needs a Jason in their garden! Good job guys 😊
That bruinera is the sweetest thing
Have you thought of “supply outposts” ? I have a large mailbox (with decorative mailbox cover) that contains spare tape measure, spare secateurs, Phillips screwdriver, regular screwdriver, spare gloves ( in airtight box to bugs out), plant ties, folding razor and anything else small you might need when away from main storage. Oh, and trowel!! Doesn’t have to be mailbox, that just easier solution for me. Just a thought . . .
I do the same! I have 3 in my yard for convenience and just bought one of Vego's garden boxes that hang on the side of their raised beds, which I love.

The huechera colors are so cooling. Almost frosty looking. Super pretty!
I love what you've done so far!

Agreed watching Jason and you work together is great! And again I love the progress you have made, it’s beautiful!!❤
No on the boxwood hedges for me. I love your free flowing look to your garden. Plus boxwood always has spider mites in California. I noticed that when I moved here.
I love the coral bells in the red, yellow, purple, and orange varieties!
I love the idea of English garden, it already has that vibe with the fountain and the iron patio and the vining walls set-up. Plus you talked about adding topiary too. I think it would elevate the space and challenge you to learn how to do another type of design. I can already see it added in there, it would be so beautiful.

Happy Earth Day everyone! 🌱🌎
Love heucheras as well, you should try some astilbes in between, you will get some hights and beautiful flowers 🌺🌺
The steady transformation of your property, improving it so much and with so much hard work involved, is truly remarkable. And btw, I absolutely agree with all the others that have posted that a boxwood hedge would look out of place in your garden.
love this garden. maybe master Gardener friends will share hostas with you.
No boxwood hedge. I love the direction you are going with it. It is a really beautiful side garden already.
Love your shade garden. I vote no on the boxwood hedge. More hostas, coleus and Lenten Roses.
The shade garden is looking so good. Love the new plants. Love and blessings 🩷💚🩷
Yes, on boxwood hedge or even some placed sporadically in the area and kept in globe form if you don't want a full-on hedge to maintain. They offer such great foundational and evergreen interest in the garden.
I vote country romance. I think boxwoods will really crowd the space. It’s all looking great!!!
Love boxwood!!! Amo los arrayanes!!! Sí, sí, sí
Some hostas would give a pop! 'Stained Glass" is a beauty...chartruese!
You and Jason should take a day trip or even an overnight trip while he is off so he has some fun time even though working in the garden with you I’m sure is fun and wonderful for him. Enjoy a day trip together.❤
I will be shopping at target tomorrow because I have to have those pink gloves! Now you and hubby need to take a trip to Australia, my husband and I were there four years ago and what a beautiful place, what a beautiful experience!

Wow!! That space is really coming together. It's beautful! The pathways really add so much to everything, Great job and so inspiring !
Looking forward to this months garden tour(s). So much has happened this month.

Yuk on the boxwoods IMHO . Your shade garden is coming along ,so sweet and kind of romantic, adding stuffy boxwoods would crowd it .
Love the overalls they are very flattering
Plants Jason! Lots and lots of plants!
Hi Janey and Jason. The shade garden will look great. A nice space to have afternoon drinks. Loving your improvements on the yard. It’s come a long way in a short time. Still have frost here waiting to plant stuff in my new raised beds. Happy gardening
Janey, I am so excited to see this garden. I love side hidden gardens, there just something so special and whimsical about side gardens.
Boxwood hedge would be beautiful!!! Even if you don’t do a hedge, boxwoods are a wonderful addition to any garden!!😊
Yay 😁 first comment! Watching while on vacation in Florida 🌞🌴🩴 and couldn’t miss the daily videos!! 🇨🇦♥️🌸🪴 love the hair Janey!! I like the shade garden without a boxwood hedge. I’d use different shades of Coleus!!
Janey, can you plant a Japanese maple on in the shade garden? I feel like a small dwarf one would be so cute! Maybe like a Mikawa yatsubusa?
Always a good day when it includes hair therapy.
Shade garden looks great. Love your arches coming in and out. Your Jason reminds me of my Craig!
Janey , Good Morning, I can totally see a line of Your Products in Target . “ Dig Plant. Water Repeat “ T-Shirts
And Hats , gloves as a set for Mothers Day . They can display garden stuff around your t-shirts.
My girl is like, “Oh there’s lots of shade plants.” 😂🤣😂😍 Amen, sista! Y’all are so cute! There’s ALWAYS more plants to be had!😁
I planted a climbing hydrangea last year. It is only about an inch bigger at this point. I did notice that there is one stem that seems like it might be going for it to put on a little more growth. If yours is anything like mine, it definitely will not reach the top wire. Mine would not even reach the bottom wire at almost a year later. Gardeners plant with hope and this is one that I think will show off once it gets going and make the waiting time worth it.
Hi Janey and Jason.
Oh my your shade garden is looking great!, love the coral bells in groups looking awesome.
Have a wonderful rest of the day. And hope your daughter enjoyed her day.
🙂👋
The shade garden is really shaping up! Love that room feel!!! ❤
Nice Mother’s Day gift
I love heucheras. I have over a dozen varieties and the foliage colors are amazing in my shade garden.
Love the boxwood hedge idea! I little slice of formality! You can have some kind of flower on either side of the fountain!
Your shade garden is looking so nice! It will be a nice, cool retreat during our hot summers! 😎M
I love seeing you and Jason working together. This video was so nice. I can't wait to see the Rose Sensation to grow.
Happy birthday Shae! My middle daughter turned 10 recently.. double digits! Exciting time! 🎉
How beautiful is your shade garden!
Gotta love Monty and his shenanigans
Love how the shade garden is coming together! I think some boxwoods would look great. Monty trying to help in the garden 😂
Boxwoods are pretty and make a nice hedge and they seem to grow quickly for us in our zone 8b...however, your husband mentioned he hates the catbox and a word of caution - boxwoods smell like cat urine. Especially when you trim them and/or brush up against them, or it's just a hot day and the odor is wafting off of them. We had a hedge near our swimming pool and had to relocate them somewhere else in the garden where we could not smell them.
Oh my goodness so I’ve been home sick and I’ve been watching your videos from the very very beginning. And I just saw that bistro set when you did the greenhouse makeover with your daughter.
I have 4 of the false climbing hydrangea and love them. Planted them last Spring and they are really doing good! Enjoy!! They will look beautiful in your white stucco walls.
Gorgeous plants and of course you and Jason.
I'm hoping you keep it romantic country, BECAUSE.....I'm doing a shade garden along with you, and I'm not doing boxwood. LOL. I ordered some J of D brunneria today because of you.
Love your channel. I hope Jason can join full-time. He's an absolute delight.
I vote no on boxwood hedge, too. Looking great so far!
😃🎉 Excellent
I subscribed to your channel 🙏
You guys did a really good job! love it!
Love seeing the physical progress ❤
Hi Janey…. FYI… make sure you get boxwoods that are resistant to boxwood blight and spider mites…. I just had an invasion? Had to cut my boxwoods way back…. They are in the front of my house and I’m so sad.. they are bald with just a few a new leaves on them.🥰🌺🦋
I think Linda Vater uses “Better Boxwoods”.💐
Boxwood would be a wonderful addition to your shade garden. Even if you didn't want to have a formal hedge, they would be a wonderful addition in groupings of 3 or even anchoring the corners. I have the dwarf english boxwood in my garden, and they require minimal pruning. Go for it!
Follower from Sweden 🇸🇪 here! Love to watch the process 😍
I laughed way too hard at “well I can always get more plants” after you asked Jason if he liked the huechera. 😊 I have def had that convo with my husband too. Looks great!!
