December 2024 Garden Tour ❄️ Winter Interest With Evergreens

[@Mary-d7u8l]

You nothing are such great teachers about the different plants, trees, and evergreens in your garden. It was so easy to focus on each item without all of the other perennial plants and annuals. Thank you so much for a wonderful year of sharing and learning from your beautiful garden. Happy New Year!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks for the kind words. We're so glad you enjoyed it!

[@estella2007]

You have created a beautiful garden and you are so very skilled at showing other gardeners your process and intentions. I love this video and would love more winter videos. Have a great time on vacation if you take a winter vacation this year.

[@ElaineKrysiak]

Everyone needs a little Whoville in their garden.🙂 Happy New Year, gentlemen. I'm so looking forward to watching your garden grow this year!

[@growformegardening]

I think we all need a little Whoville! Happy New Year to you, too!

[@MaryWeber-u5g]

Great garden review! Seeing the structure of the garden without the beautiful distraction of flowers is so helpful. The review of plant information, size, growth rate, etc along with the printed names of the evergreens is so appreciated. Also, seeing the flashback of summer plants reinforces the beauty of the winter garden. Thank you and Happy 2025!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks! It's always fun to look back at the blooms of summer!

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

what a wonderful way to start the new year 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@growformegardening]

I hope you have a great year!

[@ChrisTinaShoemaker]

[@growformegardening]

Our pleasure! We're glad you enjoy them!

[@susanneschaffer2147]

So excited to see your amazing garden this year again. Happy New Year from Austria!

[@growformegardening]

Happy new year!

[@Ladybugsandflowers]

It’s been an awesome year of watching and gardening with you both this year. Thank you so much!

[@growformegardening]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching

[@acasburn1460]

Love to experience a northern hemisphere winter…never seen snow. Happy New Year from sunny Sydney Australia 🫶🇦🇺🌞😁🎇

[@growformegardening]

Happy New Year to you too! I hope you are enjoying the sunshine.

[@JanEmily-x4w]

Happy New year, Christopher and Eric. Wishing you all the best, and a FABULOUS landscaped yard in 2025!

[@growformegardening]

Thank you! We are hoping for a fabulous 2025 too!

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

Thanks for letting me know our areas best time for pruning boxwoods. I agree about the evergreens. I added so much last year that looking out at the garden in the winter looks so much better than a bunch of sticks coming out of the ground.

[@growformegardening]

Finding the perfect time when it's not too hot, not too cold...no rain the day before or after! haha

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

@@growformegardening OMG that's extra hard. Our Weather is so bi-polar. I can never trust the weather its always changing. Why would rain damage them? that's interesting.

[@growformegardening]

@@kp-gbuniqueinterest I think they need to heal up a little bit. I haven't tested it to see what would happen!

[@JoyceKing-i8l]

Have very happy new year ,can’t wait now for spring see your new plantings 🥂🥳

[@growformegardening]

Happy New Year!

[@rhondaschenk5727]

You guys have done a great job incorporating evergreen interest in your gardens! Way to go!

[@growformegardening]

Thanks!

[@barbaramccann7944]

Enjoyed your tour; I’ve been walking my north west Michigan yard and garden daily as the snow has melted again. The deer scat is abundant, but my susceptible plants are protected. I gave up on rhododendrons years ago because they were deer food; hope your buds survive the winter.

[@growformegardening]

Us to!!!

[@jankelley1001]

I just bought before Xmas four different conifers in red planters for forty five dollars from home depot so I was thrilled when Eric mentioned your find and how much it’s grown. Love hearing about ideas for new garden. Happy new year!💕

[@growformegardening]

It's great to have those conifers to look forward to for years to come!

[@alicehihn3250]

Beautiful!!!! Even in winter so much to see.

[@growformegardening]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@Victoria-pt6ll]

This was awesome! Took lots of notes. Zone 6B NE so I'm looking for more green winter interest. Love the variety. Appreciate the depth of sharing your plants. Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing all your plans and gardens this year.

[@growformegardening]

Happy New Year! We're excited to share it all with you.

[@kims4529]

What a treat! I was hoping to visit your garden while I enjoyed my coffee ... and here's a video! Such gorgeous, peaceful beauty. Sending you wishes for a wonderful 2025!

[@growformegardening]

Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful 2025, too!

[@karenschrantz2307]

Let me just say, that honeysuckle on that trellis looks like an art sculpture. Just stunning! Love this tour!

[@growformegardening]

It's an amazing plant!

[@ReneByers]

You two are amazing gardners. Definitely setting the standard. Happy New Year! Many blessings for you both in 2025.

[@growformegardening]

Thanks! Happy New Year!

[@katharine5606]

7:48 Love the descriptions… “It always has a little bit of Whoville.” 😊 Looking at a seed catalog and your video- nice diversion for me! Hope you guys have a great 2025 and I’ll be watching! Also, thanks for the Ink Berry Holly history as I have some and didn’t know that! FYI, maybe it’s my soil, but I’ve had to apply a fertilizer several times a year and make sure the Inkberry are well watered otherwise the leaves turn yellow and drop off here in my Chicagoland 6A garden.

[@growformegardening]

Oh how interesting. I hope they come through winter ok and start to fill in

[@Provysjourney]

Beautiful!! I love seeing what the garden looks like at this time of the year!! I can see the structure of many plants! ❤

[@growformegardening]

Thank you so much!

[@stephaniegarten5947]

Missed you, nice video. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Looking forward to Spring and all the upcoming new garden designs. I did'nt see the bird feeders. Happy New Year!

[@growformegardening]

Us too! We are holding off on feeders to avoid mice/voles that we had a lot of last year. There is so much to forage so we aren't worried about our little friends

[@peggy-ann1961]

I’m sure you had a great Christmas season! I’m so looking forward to your spring plans. Thank you for this December windup! Zone3 Manitoba 🇨🇦🥳❄️

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Yes! I was waiting on a winter garden tour. You all covered the importance of providing sufficient winter interest in the garden. Happy New Year Fellas!!

[@growformegardening]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@gardensglory1229]

Great tour guys! I definitely need to up my winter interest game! Deanna

[@growformegardening]

Go for it!

[@miekowu5139]

Such a nice tour. I love that you get excited about your plants just like I do! Happy New Year to you both. Here’s hoping 2025 is a great year in the garden for us all.

[@growformegardening]

It's going to be great!

[@kmontalbano1]

Thank you for another wonderful garden tour! You have so many inspiring ideas, I could watch your videos every day. We're going to plant 7 Thuja Green Giants in the spring and I'm hoping they grow to look as beautiful as yours and I also hope the deer stay away from them. Do the deer ever dine on yours? Thank you and Happy New Year to you both!

[@growformegardening]

Thank you! Deer have not been a challenge for us with the Green Giants. They are fond of a few other things.

[@lblak59]

I know you have deer pressure so I’m wondering how you keep them off the GG Arbs in the winter…I’m referring to the bucks rutting on them breaking branches. They don’t eat them in my area. I won’t plant Emerald Arbs because they will eat them. I’ve planted a long hedge of American Full Speed A Hedge Arbs and deer have rutted on them also. Your place is such an inspiration, just beautiful.😍

[@growformegardening]

This isn't something we have experienced. I don't know what would stop that!

[@mygardenexperiment]

Love your videos so much!! Thank you for generously sharing your gardens! For your new section, have you considered a conifer that turns yellow in winter, to contrast with your vanderwolf pine? Like Pinus contorta Chief Joseph or Pinus strobus Louie. I have Louie in my zone 3 garden and it’s fantastic. I wish I could plant Chief Joseph but it’s not hardy enough. Have fun planning & planting!! 😍

[@growformegardening]

We actually have looked at Chief Joseph...what a cool tree!

[@mjecheverria4197]

Best wishes for a beautiful New Year 2025.❤🎉

[@growformegardening]

Same to you!

[@sereneandgreen]

Have you guys considered a Black Dragon Cryptomeria as an anchor in the new garden bed? It gets up to 12’ tall x 6’ wide, has a similar growth habit to your Troemner spruce, and a very striking dark color. Have a very happy New Year, and thank you for another wonderful tour.🎉

[@growformegardening]

Im' going to check that out right now!

[@julesdavis1845]

Happy New Year!

[@growformegardening]

Happy new year!

[@andtap]

Just the fix I needed to feed my obsession with evergreens! Another incredibly helpful and inspiring video. Thank you, guys!😊 Happy New Year 🎉

[@growformegardening]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@elainepaterson5310]

Happy New Year, guys. I’m looking forward to seeing your garden as it develops in 2025!

[@growformegardening]

Me too! Happy New Year!

[@patrickbrandle398]

Love the close ups of the plants and bark! Merry Christmas and wishes for a wonderful productive New year for you both!! Really enjoy watching your garden grow. Thank you! 🇨🇦🥶☃️

[@growformegardening]

Happy Holidays to you too!

[@tstuart2340]

Always enjoy your garden tours! Happy New Year to both of you!

[@growformegardening]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@jbphoto7493]

I just walked through my gardens are it struck me, I have to do all that work over again in two months! Lol

[@growformegardening]

haha we are so anxious to get out there!

[@patriciamcgonigal2688]

What are you using cloche wise in garden to keep rabbits off of shrubs?

[@growformegardening]

These! Chicken Wire Cloche urlgeni.us/amzn/NsBU6

[@JosephChamlee]

Sure would love a home tour also.

[@growformegardening]

Maybe some day!

[@LouiseJoly-n2m]

Thanks guis! Happy holidays!

[@growformegardening]

Happy holidays!

[@roofchees9]

I would not mind a video detailing the process of moving a sprinkler head. Capping the head vs changing the type of head vs moving it to another location. I also have a lawn irrigation system and it prevents me from converting several areas of my lawn to garden beds. Is there also a way to determine where the irrigation lines run in the yard or is it just a surprise when you start digging and hit one?

[@growformegardening]

That will be a journey...I might call in some help to teach me how to do it more efficiently

[@victoria76116]

❤❤❤❤

[@KHoles527]

Happy New Year, Chris & Eric! 🎉 I have a question for you: In summer 2020, I found a large Hydrangea macrophylla discarded by the curb with its roots fully exposed, but the leaves were still alive. I called my husband, and he picked it up for me. We planted it immediately. Since then, it’s never bloomed, though it always has beautiful green leaves. We have an irrigation system and refresh the soil every spring. However, it’s exposed to a lot of direct sun during the hot summer months. Do you have any suggestions? Should I have covered it for the winter? Location: Long Island

[@growformegardening]

Honestly, if it is exposed the buds are probably getting wiped out. Can you see buds on it now? If so...get it covered up. It's not now that is the issue...its the freeze and thaw in Spring that does us in!

[@lily_white]

have you thought about painting the concrete part of your house a darker color to not be so obvious?

[@growformegardening]

We have actually. That could be on the agenda for spring.
