(GT15) TROPICAL & LUXURIANT Garden Getaway

[@moviemaster414]

Hi, i'm located in Tampa and i've been watching all of your videos and learning so much! I'm very inspired by your designs and plan on trying to replicate the front yard privacy buffer designs you've shown on your channel. I would love for more videos explaining how you create patterns, flow and impact in your designs. It's so hard knowing how everything will grow into the space.

[@denisejuergens4145]

So much inspiration. We love these videos that you guys do. We gather around have a great family time and inspires us for our small Florida lot. Thank you

[@christineholzem1862]

Beautiful as always Jennifer! You have been such an inspiration to me. Fingers crossed, I hope you keep doing these videos. I love them so much and really look forward to them. Shout out to Bryce too, he does an awesome job on the camera. True gardener.

[@groforit]

Agree 💯

[@stylewithlivingart]

Christine, your comment brightened my morning! 😊I just forwarded it to Bryce too and he said thanks a bunch!!

[@kellykiley]

Very nice yard design. The ground cover at the end of the video is a baby rose or hearts and flowers it's a succulent I grow a vast amount of it here in the high Mohave desert. Great container plant and it propagates well off cuttings.

[@phylliswright5812]

This true Gardner loves your videos ..All the knowledge you give to us is amazing..🌺💜🌸

[@ashleylitebrite6971]

I feel seen! LOL, thank you. I'm enjoying this beautiful garden from home with my second cup of coffee this morning. Great video. We are huge fans of privacy buffers. Our home is on over a half acre lot, but the houses next door are close.

[@stylewithlivingart]

lol I’m enjoying a 2nd cup of coffee reading the comments thank you so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and I have a couple privacy buffers planned to tour next week. Stay tuned.

True gardener :) Looking for ideas for the steep slope for our built up new construction. I wish I could share a photo but the ditch along the front yard and along the side yards make it difficult for walking. I think we will just do clusia along the back and some artificial turf for the little space that will be left. Beautiful side yard here as always

[@Florida882]

Some video ideas: covering the ac unit, landscaping with fruit trees, choosing between rock or mulch/woodchips.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you I like the idea of covering equipment! I did a video last week that touched on rock and mulch pros and cons, check it out.

[@nicolagrove2928]

I second the mulch video idea! Or do you already have a video on the best mulch to use in south Florida? I know not to use dyed mulch but what wood type is the best?

[@Florida882]

@@nicolagrove2928I got a load of wood chips from chipdrop. It was free and it is feeding my fruit trees well. I don’t have a watering system so I am trying to find ways to retain water.

[@debbiekopy530]

Another masterpiece! I love your videos! So much inspiration! 💚🌴 True Gardener!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you so much Debbie!

[@iheomao6860]

Watching from Nigeria. Love your videos. Have drawn a lot of inspiration from many of them. ❤❤. Wish I could find sanchezia, Brazilian red cloak, and foxtail ferns here. Still searching

[@stylewithlivingart]

I'm really touched that you've found inspiration in my videos AND all the way from Nigeria! It's frustrating when you're on the hunt for specific plants, but don't lose hope. Wishing you all the best in your gardening journey!

[@Onviews1]

Beautiful, im learning everyday from you

[@beckyboopz1]

Awesome job!!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thanks Becky!!😊

[@Florida882]

I also forgot when you do videos could you mention how long it takes for the area you’re speaking about to “mature”. Just so we can have an idea how long it will take to get nice. Also, could you do a video on landscaping in a somewhat existing area not just a blank canvas. So we could see why you choose to do things the way you do.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Yes, absolutely! The next few of my videos are pre-recorded because Bryce, my son and cameraman, is currently away at school. However, next time we film, I will definitely do that! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@marylisageorge8739]

Thank you, thank you for doing videos regularly. We retired from Michigan to the country of Boquete, Panama. Your videos are helping me to learn my plants and know what to place where. I love the clussia (hope I'm saying it correctly.) We've found a vivero(nursery) that carries many of the palms you show so now I won't invest in the wrong tree because of you. Thank you. 🌴

[@stylewithlivingart]

Hi Mary, Reading comments like the one you left is the reason I love making videos. This truly made my day😊. And yes! Clusia aren’t they just the best? And can be utilized in so many ways within a garden! Thanks for tuning in, Mary. Have a great day!

[@sandy-rm9ds]

I live in Delray Beach. I would love to see a court yard entrance landscape like the one I have by my front door.

[@stylewithlivingart]

That’s a great idea. I’m thinking you mean like the one on the inside of a walkway by the front door entrance? If so I have a couple past projects I might be able to revisit for that.

[@ritakeldridge]

Just gorgeous Jen! Love all the hardy tropicals you place for big impact with all that luxurious color. You rock!❤

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you so much Rita!

[@groforit]

Question about the gravel/stone pathway and also when you out rocks in flower beds. How do you keep weeds at bay? I'm assuming thick landscape fabric? If you can let us see a behind the scenes one day on laying one of those pathways that would be awesome! I enjoyed the one you did on installing a small pond 💦

[@stylewithlivingart]

Great suggestion, yes I can absolutely share that and can see how that could be helpful to so many, thank you. On the weed question yes a good weed barrier is crucial and unfortunately I do have to spray my pathway and suggest my clients do a spot treatment of round up once a month for the first 6 months then once every other month for the next. That gets the weeds and seeds that were below ground all under control. After that it’s usually a spraying 2-3 times per year. I wish there was a better way, I hope one day there will be.

[@kelliwebb2870]

Beautiful. I’m surprised there is no milkweed on the butterfly garden. Absolutely amazing though.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Yes we did miss out on the milkweed lol butterfly garden is not my strength but I did enjoy playing in that garden lol always learning.

[@groforit]

This is beautiful Jen! Your use of space is always so spot on. 💚🌿

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Weeone5207]

Love your videos... don't think I can diy my yard... too bad you're not near SC... hope to find a smart and caring landscaper... so beautiful

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you and you are getting your research in I'm sure you'll find the right person for your space. Good Luck Gardner!

[@dorisdowdy8798]

Just bought a gardenia topiary in a pot. Is morning sun, afternoon shade a good place for it? Yes, the fragrance is amazing!! We live in the Sarasota area.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Yes they love morning sun and some protection from the harsh afternoon evening sunshine. Good luck Gardner.

[@AliMohammadi-ty8xj]

[@simple-steve]

I like your design style. Did you have a mentor or someone you followed to learn to design or are you just a natural good designer.

[@stylewithlivingart]

My parents actually owned a carpet and design studio while I was growing up so I’d say yes my mom was my mentor I always loved her design style. After meeting my husband 27 years ago I moved into landscape design with my husband lol and the rest is history.

[@beckyboopz1]

Jennifer - I have a section of front yard that I don’t see very often but would like for it to look nice. What plants are just set and forget? It’s full sun all day but a privacy screen gives it some shade in the afternoon. Any ideas?

[@stylewithlivingart]

Hello Becky, Some of the toughest plants in a full sun environment would be Variegated arboricola, Clusia, Mammy Crotons, Song of India,King sagos and Pygmy date palms. If you can fit something bigger in that area like a Pygmy palm planting some Maria or Silver Aglonema under the tree canopy would be an easy planting with really nice variegated color in the Aglonema. Hope that helped some Becky.

[@vrmlib]

Jennifer I live in Orlando area which is out of your zone, but I need so much help with designing my front yard landscape my yard is so small, in an HOA…would there be any way I could maybe pay you to tell me what to plant and where? Lol I just have limited knowledge of the right plant in the right place when it comes to Florida gardening as I’m from Massachusetts. So please let me know if this is something you’d do 🙏 thank you 😊

[@davidgeorge7443]

Yes! Me too. Would you consider a virtual consultation? We are from Connecticut and now Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, FL.

[@stylewithlivingart]

I am so sorry as of right now I don’t do any outside design work. lol my crew keeps me moving as fast as I can in order to keep up with them. I hope to gradually get into more design work in the future. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

[@melissak8892]

I'm east of you, and not in the same zone as she is in. I'm 9b. It's challenging because most of the plants in these videos won't work well up here. I try to get inspiration anyway but it can be frustrating.

[@garymarshall1246]

Can the King Palm take full Sun or does it need Shade? Also is irrigation enough water for this palm?

[@stylewithlivingart]

Yes the king Alexander can take full sun however its going to need 3-4 days week watering with the irrigation system to help keep it from drying out. What for a palm deficiency with any full sun palms. I love the chelated palm drench if i notice yellowing on my full sun palms.

[@LindaUSA78]

Where did you buy the water fountain?

[@stylewithlivingart]

Aquscapes I have my store front link in the description it will take you to the same one in the video.
