Behind the Scenes Tour of Bloomtown, My Personal Garden

[@CreationAppreciation]

Gorgeous garden! The fast camera panning makes it hard to watch though.

[@eGardenGo]

Hello and thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm trying to get steadier---trying to move more slowly and have gotten a gimbal. So hopefully they'll get better over time! 🤞

[@SleepyKittens]

@@eGardenGo Maybe have someone else shoot it for you. It is not the steadiness so much as the whip fast panning. It started out well paced during the front yard, then deteriorated from there. Shots of the seating areas and bldgs are fine, but really, we are garden-centric and prefer the paths and plants. Maybe just shoot a small section at different times. Not feeling appreciated when the host is rushing to finish.

[@gabindalin7914]

@@SleepyKittens I had to look away during the fast pans, haha, made me dizzy! But it is a gorgeous space, lots of ideas!

[@eGardenGo]

@@kaylabryson1932 in more current videos I'm working on moving slower and smoother. Hope you'll check out some of those videos.

[@jeane561]

Fantastic gardens. I want to see more , a section at a time. I love the varieties of plants and pots . Please do more tours😊❤️😊

[@eGardenGo]

Thank you, and I *will*!

[@marymyatt7566]

I really like your raised beds and how full of color and texture your garden is.

[@eGardenGo]

Thanks Mary! The raised bed really help to create a hospitable environment for the plants too!

[@MilesSherry]

I adore your yellow door! It accentuates the entire front space and it happens to be my fave color.

[@carolrose4784]

What lovely well kept gardening areas. Gosh your view from your studio is stunning. Well done. Now to copy some of your ideas in planting material.

[@eGardenGo]

Glad you enjoyed the tour. By the way, many of the plants and plant combinations I show are on my website. Check out www.egardengo.com and in particular you might want to explore the database of plants combinations: www.egardengo.com/explore-plant-combinations

[@Fergusayo]

Thanks for sharing. Have been watching your garden being transformed over the months and you’ve achieved an incredible amount! Love that it’s full but has great clarity throughout. Definitely a fan of your different seating areas - it makes every “room” inviting and more personal. Real inspiration here and thanks again for a “real” and loved garden, not just a show horse. Wishing you all the best.

[@eGardenGo]

Thanks so much for the kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour!

[@reneem4155]

Your garden is bursting! It looks fantastic!! So lucky the tour did not get rained out!!!

[@eGardenGo]

Yes, got totally lucky in terms of the timing of the rain. It started after the photo shoot was done, and ended before the tour started :-)

[@gardengirl7446]

Very beautiful colorful delightful place!!

Lovely so nice with all the seating areas!

[@maceyloubrown]

This has to be one of my favorite gardens I’ve ever seen! It really accomplishes the “garden room” style I’m wanting so desperately in my garden. What size garden do you have? The separate sections really make it feel big and luxurious...oh my gosh, I’m so in love with it.🥺❤️✨🌿🦋 I think I’ll watch this multiple times to try and learn how you did this. I’d love a slower version where you explain a little more detail how you accomplished this style of garden. I love all the little surprise seating areas.💖

[@eGardenGo]

Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Make sure you check out my playlists; there one devoted to my garden, and others that are garden tours of others. My lot is 50' x100' in Portland, OR USDA Zone 8.

Beautiful garden, maybe I will see it in person some day. 💜💜💜

[@eGardenGo]

If you're in western Oregon and like to tour gardens, I suggest joining the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon (www.hardyplantsociety.org). In "normal" (i.e. pre-COVID19) summers we have many members who open their gardens. I'm often open through them, but alas not this year.

Drop dead gorgeous garden love how you used stone and steel as anchors of your garden beds . I'm deeply inspired .

[@eGardenGo]

Thank you! I love the organic feel of the steel and stone.

[@inglishhomeandgarden8386]

Bit of a bumpy ride, but a truly unique and beautiful garden. Love the steel and rock elements. Wonderful plant combinations. (I would only change out the Tradescantia.) It would be great to have a slower walk through (without commentary), to get a chance to linger a bit longer with the plants.

[@eGardenGo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marthafigueroa4686]

[@cindystarke]

Your garden is stunning! I absolutely love your hardscape, and I kept hoping you would identify more of your gorgeous plants. I also live in Portland and I'm in the early stages of building my garden (this will be year 2). Any chance your garden will be open this year?

[@eGardenGo]

I'm not sure yet what my open days will be and/or if I'm going to open. I usually notify my newsletter subscribers when I do open, so you might want to visit eGardenGo.com and sign up for my mailings if you haven't already. :-) I like to open my garden, so try to do it at least once a year!

Glad you found my channel!

[@finnllow]

I’ve watched so many of your videos over the past week or so and I think you’re converting me from being only a fan of Japanese Gardens. 😄 I have so many screenshots of your Rhododendrons that are on my wishlist now, too. I’ve tried to find the info on the steel edging you mentioned you’ve shared before, but I haven’t been able to find it in any videos, Instagram or Facebook posts. If you have the time to share, I’d appreciate it, especially the height and gauge. Thank you from Michigan! ✌️😊

[@eGardenGo]

Glad to have influenced you re: the wonderfulness of the lesser-known, foliage-first rhodies. Unfortunately, your question about the steel edging in my side yard garden isn’t that easy to answer succinctly. That particular steel edging was a custom installation due to its height length and curvature. There are many DIY projects one can do with steel edging, but that particular one was not that. I think the best way to think about it is that working with this edging is a combination of several influences: the height of the revealed edge, the thickness of the steel you’re using, and whether you are making curves or rectilinear forms. I wish I had an easy and straightforward answer for you :-)

[@finnllow]

@@eGardenGo thanks! I used 12-gauge Corten steel on an art project and think it’s probably a little too stiff for curves. I want it tall enough to see, but don’t want to trip and stub my toes non-stop. I’ll figure it out. 😊

[@dicksoncj]

Your garden is beautiful and such an inspiration! I’m curious what large trees are planted at the front of your front yard? I think I identify one as smoke bush but couldn’t see the foliage of the other tree with the beautiful bark planted towards the front of your property. Thanks for sharing your garden!

[@eGardenGo]

I wonder if you're noticing my Zuni crape myrtle (it has really smooth, cream-colored bark).

[@nokesvillehaunt915]

I just came across your channel. Wow! 🤩 gorgeous! I love all the color and texture! It would have been nice to see it slowed down and time in each garden room to take it all in.

[@eGardenGo]

My garden is small and if you keep watching you’ll get a pretty good sense of it. However, I *will* try to go a bit more slowly. 😉

[@bluesky7226]

Lovely! Love all the seating areas and the mirrors. Are the mirrors special outdoor varieties? Thanks for sharing!

[@eGardenGo]

No, just regular mirrors. They've held up much better than I originally expected!

[@karint1956]

Your garden is fabulous. Wish you would go a little slower so we could see the plants longer. Thank you.

[@eGardenGo]

Hi Karin-thanks for commenting. I’ll try to go slower and smoother. 🤪

[@donnabloomfield7187]

Will your garden be on a tour this year? I live in Eugene, and would make the trip to see. If not, are there any private garden tours that you rec'd?

[@eGardenGo]

Sorry for my slow response. I don’t have an open day scheduled for this year yet. If I do open, it will be via the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon or as a benefit to my members. www.egardengo.com/become-a-member

At 5:19 why is that small reddish plant with multiple tiny leaves next to the green plant on the left side. I have this growing in my yard volunteer and always pull it up thinking it is a weed. This year I decide to just let it grow to see what it turns out to be. PictureThis identified it as Mimosa but I dont think that is what it is because the leaves dont fold, could be wrong.

[@eGardenGo]

Near as I can tell, I think you might be asking about a fern that has bronzy emerging foliage. Is this the one you’re asking about? Link: www.egardengo.com/plant/dryopteris-erythrosora-red-radiance
