I am literally blown away by this guy. I have learned so much listening to him and cannot believe every plant is in a container. Thank you, Grandma, for introducing him to a talent like no other.

[@gibsonlr1]

His garden is spectacular with so many beautiful and vibrant colors. The fact that he has these plants in pots is amazing.

[@carolsmith7951]

What a wonderful person Deronis is. Thanks to him for being a gregarious, generous, hard working, creative being who creates a stunning gardening space for himself and his neighborhood. Kudos and Bravo to him. Thanks for showcasing him and allowing all his treasures to come alive. I'd love to visit sometime.

Are you in the Chicago area?

[@carolsmith7951]

Unfortunately I live in TN.

[@lindsayweimer2208]

I would absolutely LOVE to see the layout and containers all empty just to see how hes done this. Its absolutely incredible to see the layering. Just amazing!

[@ChicagoGardener]

There might be some on his IG but I’m planning to come back for the plant giveaway so I can get some video then!

[@norakins3856]

It’s so cool to see what people do with their gardens!! He has created such a mood with the colors and textures of his plant choices. So relaxing and inviting. Love the idea of “if you love one, do twenty” you can see the passion.

[@BotanicAlley]

I love how it's mostly foliage color yet it's still so bright and vibrant... And no deadheading. Such a smart garden!

[@ChicagoGardener]

So much color without barely any flowers! It’s truly incredible.

[@armandorubalcava5615]

Wow!!!! So glad we watched this. Beautiful and inspirational.

[@ljc9337]

Those banana plants are amazing. I would would never have thought of that for my garden. This is so inspiring! I 💚💚💚

[@GingerHolcomb-z4s]

I can't believe how beautiful his gardens are! I thought you needed blooms to be beautiful but this is beautiful!

[@ChicagoGardener]

I didn't even think about that! That's such a great point.

What an absolutely gorgeous garden! It is so amazing how his garden grows for the season! Thank you for sharing. This was jaw dropping.😊

[@patsimmons3123]

His garden 🌱 is amazing 🤩 & to be in Chicago 👍🏽💪🏽🫶🏽

[@GrowsGoneWild]

Wow replanting every year is quite the achievement. Done so aesthetically as well!

[@MOUSEMOM40]

Oh my goodness - what a fantastic garden and a talented designer! How beautiful!

[@rc-ki4uy]

What a gorgeous garden! It’s amazing that it’s all containers. I’d love to see it in winter when the plants are gone just to get a good look at all his containers.

[@draselee6131]

I’ve never seen anything like this. What a beautiful and unique garden. Love it😻

[@ChicagoGardener]

It’s my all time favorite garden!

[@PleasantPrickles]

That is a wow wee garden! Thanks for inviting us in. I love the idea of using filing cabinets as planters! 🌱🌱🌱🌱😀

[@jshiffer8793]

Stunning!!! I just love his passion!! I may have to make a field trip to Chicago. Garden love!!!

[@ZehraKismet]

The filing cabinet planter idea is GOLDEN!!!! And man o man I just got rid of one!!!! 😅😅😅

[@ChicagoGardener]

I always see filing cabinets sitting out next to garbage cans so next time I going to grab one 🤣

[@carollewinson1555]

What a beautiful garden! Your eye for design is creative and on point! I totally understand the need to visit different garden centers. Some people bar hop….i garden center hop😂

[@ChicagoGardener]

Omg we should do a bar crawl but instead it’s a garden center crawl!

[@BColliegal]

Wow so impressive and colourful. It’s like you’re in the tropics 🌴

[@ChicagoGardener]

It definitely feels like you are somewhere much warmer than Chicago!

[@marylandsharona]

Nice, so all his plants are annuals? I thought banana trees could come back in the spring? Beautiful 😍

[@MJCarter-MnknLady]

Amazing garden! I haven’t seen the pink/peach coleus before. Johnson’s has the lime coleus and sweet potato vines. I was excited to see Sunrise on your list. I just discovered Ted’s this year! I’m over the state line also in zone 6A. My neighbor cuts her banana tree down and mulches it and it comes back each year. It is in the ground though. Love the spikey grass with the coleus in the tissue boxes. Frugal and creative. I see that in my future! I plant prince tut each year!

[@marybethgardener111]

Wow! Stunning! So impressive

[@do0o0o0]

I truly appreciate how Chicago residents love plants and gardening. Thank you both for being so inviting and inspirational!

[@katharine5606]

Amazing and beautifully unique garden. What dedication to plant new every year!

[@ChicagoGardener]

The amount of work that goes into this garden each year is incredible!

[@patsimmons3123]

I’m in SC and when I had my garden it never produced plants even close to these,I did learn today from him (Let the plants do whatever they’re going to do) I’m listening to not stop my plants by stressing them out

[@blessedhummingbird4]

WOOOOOOW!!!! This is a masterpiece. I wish I could grab some at the end of the year. Most are perennials here in Georgia.

[@mattiethompson-w7w]

[@rootsshootsgardenboots]

Incredible.

[@carolynyoung5844]

Wow! Just beautiful.

[@yashikaokon]

This made me so happy! I love his garden. I wonder how much he spends on plants each year.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I don’t know the exact amount but he has a snow plow business in winter and all that money goes to the garden!

[@boonieloo4792]

Great video!! I would love to see how everything is set up next along. 💚

Thank you for sharing Grandma's.

[@febakoshy8888]

Wow ! This is incredible! Beautiful!

[@marybethgardener111]

If you go back, ask if you can snip a few branches of that coleus. So easy to propagate and overwinter indoors as a houseplant and then plant it out next spring. I do that every year with coleus.

[@southofthesticks]

WOW ! 💜💚💜👍

[@pattireichel3197]

There are no words to describe the beauty of Grandma's Garden. I learned so much! Thank you both for sharing!

[@mflournoy2971]

Are there house plants we can see? You have the Midas Touch when it comes to plants.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’ll have to ask to double check but I actually don’t think there are houseplants inside!

Wonderful video. Looking forward to checking out more of his garden as I wonder about his choice of potting mix? Thank you!

[@justanonymous5681]

Beautiful gardens!! How does he keep the metal containers he finds on facebook marketplace from rusting out etc. ?😊

[@ChicagoGardener]

I know he spray paints most of the containers. It could be a spray paint that also helps prevent rust.

[@annespun]

Interesting that he doesn’t overwinter his bananas! How much cost savings, just as an idea. This garden is absolutely stunning!! ❤

[@midwestpetalpusher]

OMG! Incredible, thank you for taking us on this tour. 60 banana plants?! Does he have a KZbin channel?

[@ChicagoGardener]

Not yet but I’m trying to convince him to start one!! Definitely follow on Instagram if you have it.

[@boysrus61]

Beautiful. I echo that I would love to see this when the pots are all empty. Also, how does he afford to keep buying new each year.
