Dahlias in pots in The Sunken Garden

In this video I’m showing one of the gardens 15 rooms - The Sunken Garden. This is a white container garden and now here (medio July) there are many dahlias grown in pots.
For about two months ago - medio May - I have posted a video (see link above) and here I was showing The Sunken Garden with hundred of spring bulbs grown in pots and containers.
It’s a passion for me to work with colors and garden design. And is this video you can also see how Preben, my gardener, is cutting the umbrella formed trees.
In the video I'm talking about following plants:
Carpinus betulus
Dahlia 'Snowflake'
Dahlia 'My Love'
Dahlia 'White Perfection'
Hydrangea 'Annabelle'
Zantedeschia aethiopica
Cornus alba elegantissima
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Nugget'
Hosta 'Francee'
You can see The Sunken Garden in May here: • The Sunken Garden
My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.

Again, many thanks for the names of specific flowers, plants, and trees as you discuss them. Looking forward to your next video!

[@angelicadiaz4107]

a great combination of beautiful Dahlias and Chopin, beautiful music from Les Sylphides ballet.

[@margaretmichelsen766]

I am going to plant more things in pots and place in beds now I have seen this. This colour palate is absolutely stunning. So many ideas to take away.

Ein wundervoll harmonischer Garten,das ist Gartenkunst!Ein Traum!Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Just a gorgeous garden. The use of texture and foliage is amazing. Just lovely. It's hard to believe all the plants are in pots.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Oh Claus, I immediately clicked on your video as soon as I saw it posted!! I too am attempting to grow some dahlias in pots, I have soo many now. Thanks for the inspiration sir, I am taking plenty of notes!

[@Yulia20236]

Клаус, Ваш сад-это подлинное искусство в ландшафтном дизайне!!Привет из России!!

[@shewhomustnotbenamed6567]

I just discovered your channel and now I am hooked! What a stunning, magical and majestic garden! I am in awe 🤍 We bought a house 3 years ago with a garden that doesn’t even deserve to be called a garden. Just big conifers, sand, weeds and chaos. Now I made it my goal to have a diverse, colourful and relaxing heaven for me and the wildlife surrounding us. Your garden really inspires me and I hope that it won’t take forever for my plants to grow as beautifully as yours. Thankful greetings from Germany. Keep up your wonderful garden tours 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@LB-vl3qn]

Oh, how I would love to see this garden in the moonlight. As beautiful as it is during the day, it's probably even more exquisite once the moon rises, making all the white blooms glow. Thank you for the little tour, Mr Dalby. ~ Lisa

[@bryonyhellis]

Beautiful mix of foliage and different types of white dahlias, so lush and opulent and yet very serene.

[@crystalgrunling4651]

Love your poodle Claus! How nice to share your garden and pet with us!

It’s 5:30 am in Southern California!😆. And it’s so lovely to wake up to such tranquil video of your beautiful garden! You mentioned your greenhouse, would it be possible to see it and the plants that you keep there. Also would it be possible to see how you prepare one, or two (or all!🤣) containers for planting? I would love to see how you develop that gorgeous garden of yours. Thanks for sharing!
