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.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I learn so much from him too! I’ll definitely share his garden again and am trying to convince him to start his own channel.

[@pamelasprings6723]

@@ChicagoGardener Yes he needs a channel. He could teach us all so much. YT is how I have learned everything I know and I am on my third landscaping project. All for family and loving that they let me do whatever I want.

[@poppyfuller27]

Absolutely Fantastic! WOW! Thank you for this Beautiful garden of Paradise Tour.

[@adrabruzzese7610]

Thank you so much for sharing his garden with us. It was sweet how one of his cats was following you both. Such a beautiful garden and a beautiful cat.

[@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!

[@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.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Are you in the Chicago area?

[@carolsmith7951]

Unfortunately I live in TN.

[@gibsonlr1]

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

[@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.

[@p.w.7493]

Thanks for shari g this interesting man and his beautiful garden! Wow, this garden seems like a beautiful 'plant museum'.

[@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.

[@helenoleksyn5327]

Do you save any plants over winter?

[@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.

[@armandorubalcava5615]

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

[@anaelechavez8358]

His soul ❤ is amazing.

[@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.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’m going to try to go to the plant giveaway and film what the containers look like empty! He does have some photos on his IG of the containers too.

[@draselee6131]

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 🤣

[@ChicagoGardener]

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

[@blessedhummingbird4]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@vicky3792]

@@yashikaokon that’s what I was wondering. That’s a pretty penny.

[@do0o0o0]

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

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

[@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.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Why didn’t I think of this when I was there!!

[@southofthesticks]

WOW ! 💜💚💜👍

[@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.

[@midwestpetalpusher]

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

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

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

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

You can take the black elephant ears bulb in your house to winterover

Was wondering what he does in the winter. Does he store some, most, none inside or does he let it all die and start all over every spring.

He does a large plant giveaway in November and empties it all out then starts over again in the spring!
