Designing Our Enchanted Narrow Side-Yard Garden: From Planning to Maturity

[@dogwhiskers8]

It's not just a garden. It's art. Absolutely stunning. All of it.

[@RosannesGarden]

hello! I must apologize for not responding earlier. I saw your comment and wanted to respond appropriately. I love what you say about gardens as art. I wholeheartedly agree. I think of all art as "food for the soul". I sense a growing movement away from such appreciation in gardens. It seems now gardens must be about food, native plants, bees, etc. Those are all wonderful outcomes, but my goal in gardening has always been about providing food and habitat for wildlife AND to provide beauty...things that make people smile and feel something. Although I try to incorporate native plants, I am not beholding to the concept. What about the beauty of Calla lilies, or Roses? One of the reasons I left our local master gardener program was that it promoted everything about gardening, except creating gardens as art, or food for the soul. I felt like an island. So....your comment struck me in a certain way, and I really appreciated it. Thank you!

I am a biginer. Love your garde n is so beautifull.

[@traciefisher6003]

Love how informative you made this especially for someone just starting out like myself. From the planning to the design, very educational as I am in the beginning stages of laying out a similar area. Your garden is beautiful & I appreciate your video💌

[@RosannesGarden]

Yay! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. We love sharing our garden and the process of gardening. All the best in your gardening ventures 🌺🌱🌞

[@ginafriend1690]

Absolutely Stunning and so well Maintained, Roseanne and Steve 🙌❤️🐢!! Perfect timing to post for others to think of incorporating into their gardens. Your gardens are My Favorite of any I've had the pleasure of seeing! Simply .. ENCHANTING! 🌹 Thank you and nice hearing from you!

[@RosannesGarden]

Hello Gina! Always nice to hear from you! Glad you agree on the timing of the video. I had fun working on it and was shooting for a mid-Feb release, so that's good. It's so much fun to plan and think about the garden, especially when it's so white outside. You are always too kind in your garden flattery...but it's nice to hear 😉. Have a wonderful Spring! 🌹. Steve says "hi".

[@martywanlass4774]

Rosanne is an intelligent, delightful person who takes us step by step through her garden. I have a side garden that needs developed. I have gotten so many ideas here. Your garden is lovely, thanks for sharing.

[@RosannesGarden]

[@joannabeck6750]

Your side garden is GOALS for me. The best I've seen. Thank you for explaining your thought process and plant choices. Beautiful and inspirational.

[@jeankruis183]

Thank you for such a beautiful stroll down the side path garden. You've provided so much inspiration for a project in my own yard. I think I could watch this video many times over and gain insight with each viewing.

[@RosannesGarden]

You are quite welcome! I'm so pleased to hear that the video provided inspiration and information. Putting together this video was a winter project, and a fun one. Glad it payed off!

[@lisemace5162]

Thank you Rosanne! I love every single aspect of your beautiful enchanted garden. How lovely that you and your husband have created such a stunning masterpiece! ❤️🌿💐🇨🇦❤️

[@suzannefronzaglio2427]

I am so thoroughly enjoying this tour of your beautiful luscious enchanted side yard garden design walk through! (And the sights of the rest of your enchanted property). Love the turtle stone in the pathway, that is so whimsical. The colors you have used there are stunning. Especially the white flowering plants, they truly shine and "pop". This is a work of art, and I appreciate you sharing it's evolution and progress. It's just stunning, and the little bunny 🐇 running on the path was epic fairytale! I would absolutely be spending my time outside there, more than inside! more. Thanks for sharing this wonderful exploration of garden design and beauty.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Suzanne! I am just so pleased that you enjoyed the garden transformation. I sure agree with you about white flowers; they are often underappreciated, but serve a real aesthetic purpose. I use white calla lilies throughout our garden for the same reason. Glad you like the real life bunny. We have lots! 🙂🐢 🌷🌼🌿

[@ingridkunze5458]

I was so happy to see another video of your enchanting garden. Thank you!

[@RosannesGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🌺

[@ejohnson3131]

Love your videos Rosanne! They’re always a huge inspiration for me. You don’t post new videos very often, but when you do, they’re top quality content. I make myself a cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy while taking notes. Thank you for your hard work and I wish you many blessed years of happy gardening!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying my channel. And, you certainly have me pegged 😉. I don't do many videos, but I do try to make each one special. Have a wonderful Spring! 🌱🌷🌿

All I can do is daydream during your videos of your gorgeous home and stunning property. You describe everything so perfectly!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thanks so much 😊

[@chrismarchetti-olson6632]

Yayyyy Rosanne every time I see your videos pop up, I drop everything!!!!! 😂 I just love your enchanted gardens and they bring me so much joy and inspiration so thank you ❤. Question: at the 2:36 minute, what is that gorgeous tall and super narrow conifer? I think I need one lol. Thank you 🌷🌷🌷. Please post more videos!!!

[@RosannesGarden]

That is so very nice of you to say and think and do! I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying our gardens and this channel 🌞. The tall and narrow conifer is a weeping white spruce (Picea glauca 'Pendula'). I love the look too. I briefly mentioned in the video that we had a Spruce that died, and we replaced it with an Arborvitae. That was the same variety spruce. I think it was getting too much shade. They need full sun, no doubt about it. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🌺

[@christinahaftmann4065]

Your videos are always 100% beautiful and inspiring! I hope you put all this in book form - I know it would be a huge hit. Linda Vater did it and you have so much to teach other gardeners! Best wishes. 🌳 🏡 🌲 🎄 🌹 💐 🏵

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad you think so! It's flattering that you suggest a book form; maybe I'll check it out. Happy Spring! 🌿

[@heatherw.2751]

I’d definitely buy Roseann’s book even though I Garden in a zone eight. It’s inspiration and garden goals for sure!

[@tammywinter9268]

That’s a book I would buy!

[@aroe3714]

I would buy and give as gifts

[@bherrera1915]

This video was such a joy to watch! I'm new to gardening & I had no idea it's even possible my narrow side yard could look/feel so lush & private. Thank you for including the measurements & blueprint. It's so helpful!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! I like to see how things are laid out also. As you are new to gardening, I hope you have a wonderful gardening journey. 🌹

Hi Rosanne, so glad to see your beautiful garden today, cold and wet in Tennessee, so a nice pick me up to see your video , I'm sure hoping a lot of my shrubs weren't killed with the freeze we had last month.Always look forward to your videos.

[@RosannesGarden]

Hello! Yay! I'm glad to be of help on cold damp day. I hope you watched it with a hot cup of tea or coffee! I hope your plants will be OK too. We've had a ton of snow, but not too many days below zero. So, I'm feeling OK about plants here 🤞

[@Tibetan2]

An incredible masterclass in garden design… I’m thoroughly impressed by the thought and planning you’ve put into every aspect of your beautiful gardens. What a gorgeous space!

[@hollyashton7009]

You’ve explained & shown everything in such easy to follow & thoughtful detail. Thank you!! I’ve often found it difficult to understand how to layer a garden properly. This helped tremendously. Plus seeing the plants added to your diagram as you planted. Much thanks & what a gorgeous space. Enchanted indeed!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Holly! Thanks for the video feedback. I'm pleased to hear you appreciated the detail. One never knows if it's too much , or too little. Happy gardening 🌱🌷🌞

Hello Roseanne! It’s so good to “see” you! It’s been awhile since you posted a video so naturally I was super excited to see this one! Your garden is absolute magic and I wish I could see it in person. But I’ll just have to enjoy it here! Thanks for the detailed tour! I especially Love how the path meanders and leads to that lovely turtle stepping stone!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Heather! I'm so glad the video didn't disappoint! I know what you mean about the meandering path. We tried to make the experience of entering the garden through a garden a pleasant surprise, one amplified by the turtle. We love sharing our garden and am glad to share it with you via the videos.

Absolutely beautiful process and outcome with this garden. I particularly appreciate the thoughtful way it was created and adapted and changed as skills and knowledge improved and as you co-created with nature.

[@corey3151]

I hope you will be posting videos soon of your garden. Your garden and garden style is so classic and whimsical.

[@RosannesGarden]

Hello Corey and thank you! Although I have not broadcast it, I have mentioned in several comments that my husband and I have moved to a new house and a new, almost non-existent garden. The move was the right time for a number of reasons. It was incredibly sad to leave the old garden, but as the saying goes, "when one door shuts, another one opens". I'm thinking of ways to chronicle the creation of our new garden. Stay tuned and thanks for hanging in there!

[@taragibbons6616]

We love the idea of a winding path for our house too! GREAT planning ideas. Your garden is just magical and GORGEOUS!!!!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thanks so much! 😊 i’m glad you think so. Straight lines are just not as magical as winding paths, are they?

[@grrchickable]

This is exactly what I need to help make sense of an empty yard when faced with a whole internet of plant options. I feel like the descriptions of how choices were made are golden. Thank you!

[@RosannesGarden]

Yay! I'm so pleased to hear that this video helped bring some clarity to your garden planning. I appreciate the feedback!

[@joeycainong6873]

Thanks, Roseanne! You are an inspiration for a Zone 4 gardener like me. Your videos are always well done and educational. Cheers!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! It is very nice to hear comments such as yours. I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel! We really do have a lot of options here in Zone 4!

[@jerrywatts3016]

You and your husband are what people call true soulmates! Whenever I watch your video, I'm always impressed and moved by the flow of love in the garden.

[@RosannesGarden]

Wow, thank you! He's the best gardening partner 🌿❤️.

[@mysterymccarthy6851]

Beautiful garden. I love your plant choices. Thank you for sharing!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation!

[@carmengomez-munoz4723]

What a gorgeous enchanted retreat like garden!!! Enjoy it in good health.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the enchanted garden tour! 🌹

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

I look forward to watching your beautiful garden videos. Your garden reminds me of a soft and pretty English country garden. I was born in England and I visited it again years ago. I have the same postcard as you! as well as photos of the gorgeous cottages in your postcard. I adore English thatched-roof-cottage, gardens. Rosanne, you live in a beautiful part of the world. I love the seasonal garden that you have with snow; so pretty. I now live on the Sunshine Coast of Qld., Australia. I can grow many of the cool weather plants that my northern hemisphere neighbours have, however they mostly grow here in the cooler months. I am trying to create an Australian version of a pretty English garden. You and your husband have done a wonderful job creating your stunning and inspirational garden.

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Australia! Thank you so much Julia. I'm so glad you are enjoying our garden! But, seriously, the same postcard? How great is that? I guess those cottages are quite famous, and rightly so. Our winters are very cold, but also quite beautiful. Creating gardens is a process and I wish you all the best with your Australian adaptation!

[@jawnatutorow]

Yay a zone 4! It's so beautiful what you've done! I've recently moved to Wisconsin zone 4 and I'm so excited to get valuable information from your channel! I'm very new to gardening and lost a lot of money already due to not paying attention to my zone. I'm so grateful to have come across your garden tour! You've given me lots of inspiration to get planting..... Wisely! 😬

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings neighbor to the east! I'm so glad you're finding my channel helpful! Gardening is a lifelong learning process and that's one of the things that makes it such a great activity. All the best!

[@lexie3905]

What a lovely, helpful video. Your garden is amazing ! ☺️💕

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the video helpful! 🌱🌹🌲

[@jere5555]

Some people carry pictures of their children……that is a Paradise to behold…..thank you for making a beautiful place….a garden like yours truly is another world

[@RosannesGarden]

Children? Meh. Grandkids, Dolly (our dog) and our garden make it into the digital photo album ;-) Glad you enjoyed the video tour!

[@Sznupek-b4p]

Both a journey into a fairyland and a step by step instruction ❤

[@RosannesGarden]

Glad you enjoyed the garden. Transformation!

[@Sznupek-b4p]

It is one of my fav KZbin gardens :)

[@kaitlinjohnson2915]

It’s truly exciting to see urban yard-sized landscaping videos. I feel like a tend to see a lot of “small sized gardening makeovers” that are not at all what I would think of as “small.” I’m currently in the process of making over my south facing narrow side yard that looks just like yours (currently mine is much more like the before than after). I want an enveloping, secret garden feel without encroaching on the neighbors too much, so I appreciate this video.

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings Minnesota neighbor! I'm so glad the video on our narrow garden was helpful in imaging what to do with your own! Side yards are often neglected, but for small gardens, are a wonderful opportunity. I hope you have fun creating yours 🌲🌺🌹🐢🐦

[@sheilasaunders3338]

This is the most concise and informative landscape plan I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much, this has really helped me to design my own side garden. Love it.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! That is very great to hear! I wish you all the best in creating your own side-yard garden 🌹

[@designed4liberty]

One of the most instructive and inspiring garden videos, ever. Thank you, Roseann. I am no longer fearful of planting arborvitae. When the right variety is chosen, it will add grand structure, shelter and year round interest.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! You are very generous with your compliments 🌺🌼🌿. I’m so very glad you found the video helpful and also, that you will be giving arborvitae a try. I find, in our climate, there are two important things to remember with Arborvitae - one being, to make sure they get plenty of water going into winter. The other, if you have rabbits, is to put chicken wire or something to protect the trees from hungry bunnies in the winter. I wish you all the best in your gardening endeavors. 🌞🌺🌲🐰🌿

[@anneshoemaker7627]

I’m a newcomer to your channel and just spent the day binge-watching your videos. What a delight!! I love your gardens and truly appreciate all the wonderful information you provide. I’ve learned so much and have already taken a plethora of notes. Please do consider writing a book!!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Anne! I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel! We love sharing our garden and garden knowledge, so welcome to "Rosanne's Garden! "🌹🌿🌱 I don't do that many videos (maybe 6 in a year), so be patient with me 😉.

[@johnnycomelately6341]

Good morning Roseanne, from Australia ...You transformed it into a fairyland Always fascinating to watch, thank you for your efforts.

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Australia! So nice to hear from you again. I'm glad you enjoyed the transformation! I guess you are heading into Fall now? I can barely contain myself thinking about Spring. 🌿🌞🌺

[@johnnycomelately6341]

@@RosannesGarden Yes there has been a couple of days that hinted at "autumn" coming but it has recently been quite hot at 34C. Those particular days at the start of the turn are what I call magic days and are rare = 26C to 30C around 50% RH or less with 15 to 20 kph breeze. It is a beautiful world Roseanne and what you do decorates it so perfectfully.

[@RosannesGarden]

@@johnnycomelately6341 You are too kind. We too are getting a "hint" of spring now and then. Transitions are exciting.

[@capecodcottagegarden]

I'm always checking for a new video from your garden. They are always so soothing and absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing:)

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel! I do try to make the videos pretty, but it's hard to capture the real beauty of the garden.

[@mariabergstrom1615]

You got the most magical garden. You are such a inspiration.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Maria! That is very kind of you to say.

[@asaliden4584]

I was thrilled finding your channel in my feeds, so described and binge-watching your videos. You have a fantastic garden and going to be a huge inspiration to my garden starting from a blank slate. Even if I live in Sweden, my US zone where I live island of Gotland on Sweden’s south east coast is 8!

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Sweden! I am happy you found my channel too! Starting with a blank canvas gives you so much opportunity! Have fun building your own fantastic garden! 🌹

[@bananabob2185]

Thank you always for your inspiring videos. Lots of hard work, creativity, and love went into your enchanted garden! 🌺🌿

[@RosannesGarden]

Nice to hear from you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the stroll 🌿🐰🌺

Thank you for sharing! Great inspiration for a narrow garden

[@RosannesGarden]

You are so welcome! 🌞

[@mirandamccathern3697]

This garden is absolutely beautiful and reflects the special care it must have took to create it. I strive to be as skilled and creative as you.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! That is very sweet of you to say! I have a great gardening partner in my husband, who has made so much possible. I am sure you are being modest. I do wish you all the very best in gardening 🌹🪻🌿.

Rosanne, I enjoyed this video- a truly enchanting garden! 🐇

[@RosannesGarden]

Thanks Ginny! Glad you enjoyed the garden transformation🌿

[@lonicerasempervirens]

This video has convinced me I need more evergreens! My small Twin Cities garden is only a couple years old, and you just gave me so much inspiration for it! It's fun to see a mature garden like yours. Your careful planning is evident but I also enjoy your laid-back attitude toward volunteer plants. Great video!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! Evergreens are so great in the garden, for all seasons 🌲. Glad you enjoyed the video of the transformation! I can be ruthless with volunteers, but a peony volunteering was just too unusual. It deserved to stay. 🌺🌱🙂. Have fun as you develop your own garden.

[@moniquemckenna6795]

Thank you again , as always, for making our bleak winter an exciting respite but also such great anticipation for what’s to come in the spring in our garden. You have given me so many ideas, of which I will return to this video when the plants have awakened from their sleep and I can see what more I can add, or replace. 💞 Keep bringing so much joy

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Monique! Springtime is always a time of discovery, isn't it. It's always such a relief to see the perennials poking up their first shoots. Ahh, I can almost smell the apple blossoms 🌺. Glad you took away some ideas! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@laura9855]

Such an adorable turtle stepping stone ! He is a talented stone worker & artist .

Hi again, Yes my husband is very talented and sweet to gift me the turtle 🥰🐢

[@Ktealove]

This video is so welcome right now. Thank you for sharing! My soul needs to be reminded that spring will come 🌸🌺

[@RosannesGarden]

I'm so happy to have brightened a winter day. We are expecting 20 to 24 inches of snow in the next few days. Ugh. But, Spring will come. 🌷🌷🌷

[@Ktealove]

@Rosannes Garden Yes, and I cannot wait for that day!

[@melissaturner7236]

Your videos are always a masterclass in garden design and aesthetics. Thank you for the time and effort that must have gone into planning and organizing this video. I always learn so much from the information you share about your beautiful garden and the design process. Last spring, I was inspired by the Irish moss you plant along your paths and started planting it between flagstone pavers in my backyard. Thank you for the inspiration! 🙏💚

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! That's quite a compliment! My husband and I love sharing our garden. I'm so glad that you're enjoying my channel and were inspired to give Irish Moss a try. I hope you're pleased with it! 🌿

[@ЛарисаПетрова-с3и]

Спасибо за гостеприимство!С удовольствием прошлись по дорожкам вашего сада. Много растений, какие есть в садах России.Вы с мужем настоящие дизайнеры и труженики! Счастья и удачи вам!

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Russia! You are quite welcome! I'm glad you could visit! My husband and I do share a passion for gardening, so I am very lucky there. Parts of Russia have a growing zone very similar to ours, so similar plants make sense. What a small world. Гугл-переводчик: Привет, Россия! Вы очень кстати! Я рад, что вы смогли посетить! Мы с мужем разделяем страсть к садоводству, так что мне в этом очень повезло. В некоторых частях России зона выращивания очень похожа на нашу, поэтому похожие растения имеют смысл. Какой маленький мир.
