Garden Tour September 2019

Welcome to the September Garden Tour. Garden is located close to Toronto and is a Zone 6a/6b or Zone 5 using the Canadian and USDA Hardiness zones.
I'm sharing plant choices, costs, best value for your dollars and tips. Come see all the plants that are still vibrant at the end of September.
Filmed on the global climate day, it is a great example of how you can create environments that can help be the lungs of the earth.

I am currently going through your garden tours year by year, and month by month and it's Blowing My Mind!!!

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thanks Nikki! Lots to share still to come. Grateful for your comment.

It's so beautiful to see that i can't blink my eyes for a second....

[@blackstar8620]

I agree about the removal of trees. I've watched so many old tress in my neighbourhood come down so that houses can be built on end remaining piece of land. I've planted so many native trees on my property to try and restore native habitat. I have also dedicated an area for milkweed for the monarchs. It has been very rewarding watching different species of birds and butterflies visit my yard.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Hi Chris. Thanks so much for your kind comment. Glad to have you on the journey as we build the garden with veggies and start a food forest. Been an exciting time to spend time in the garden and watching it expand. We are learning so much. Do you have a garden?

[@Nicole-rd1nt]

Very beautiful garden,I love it

[@alexandram3196]

so happy a new tour is up! love love your garden!

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thanks Alexandra. I'm about the to do the next video before the frost takes all the plants. It is still in bloom here on October 15th!

[@gracemoussa9380]

I am an advocate for trees on earth. Our back yard is adjacent to green belt. My neighbor has been clearing the green belt (belong to government) for domestic farming of his own use. Besides planting for their own consumption, they plant whatever they like. They don't think what good for the birds and bees. They are from mainland China and have no concept of coexistence with other species on this earth. I am so sad looking out from my kitchen window. You have done such good job to provide sanctuary for birds and insects besides providing a place to relax for yourself

[@krisulandlott7147]

I love the pinks and purples just beautiful

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thank you Kris. Glad you enjoyed the tour.

🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨‍🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and KZbin creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is paying off. I still have so much to learn about gardening and I appreciate your tips, tricks! I’d love to learn more about gardening from each other. Happy Harvest!

Beautiful 🌷

[@cathyscreationandvlog4224]

I purchased two hanging baskets this year from the Amish and they were beautiful all season long until Frost. I ended up deconstructing them and pouring the potting mix out in hopes to save the containers and what I found in the bottom of the container was a baby diaper, when researching I guess the baby diaper helps keeping the moisture in .

[@user-ve4ur8we1f]

ชอบมากครับ so beautiful love your garden from Thailand.

[@Diana-jh7rp]

Ohh my goodness!!!! I love love the pink!!!! So beautiful I love love your KZbin channel and thanks for sharing 💓💞💕

[@JoAnnBlondin]

That is the ultimate compliment. Thank you. You have me thinking about how the garden began, my design process and the steps to implement it to its current state. This might be beneficial to share. Enjoy the move to your new home. How exciting.

[@jardindelsoul]

Your petunias are so nice!!

Thanks Umair. I appreciate you taking the tour this month.

Hi there :) This is my first time on your channel. I love watching garden tours and I'm super happy found someone to watch so close to home. I'm in the Hamilton area You have a beautiful garden

[@klk12399]

Beautiful garden tour. Would love to see videos over the winter of your indoor plants and how you use dried leaves to make cards.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thanks. I'm working on how I make that video right now. I'm testing out flowers to see how they dry (the pink begonias turn purple). And I have a video planned on indoor plants. Stay tuned!

[@elaineteut6508]

I feel your pain at the loss of the trees. I live in a small farm town, we use to be the "young kids on the block" but 40 years later, we are the older ones. So many younger people around us have cut down all the beautiful trees that use to line our street. Guess they don't want to have to rake the leaves. Luckily we have some pretty trees on our lot as do the couple behind us. When we sit on our deck and look up our backyard to theirs, it looks like a park. People just don't understand how valuable good trees are.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thanks for taking the tour, Elaine. I totally appreciate your comments. The trees are part of the beauty of a property. When I took landscape design, we learned to start with the trees and shrubs as they are the backdrop to the landscaped. They provide privacy, windbreaks and shade. A vital part of a well-designed garden as long as they are healthy. Enjoy sitting on your deck and the view of your trees.

[@ritagarretson7278]

Nice...

[@OlgaStartsevaPyatigorsk]

Очень красиво!

[@Pondandgardensanctuary]

Your videos are so calming and informative, thanks

[@mzeeshan]

Beautiful garden. Loved it! I also loved the look of your patio furniture, especially those white chairs. They look beautiful. Would you be kind enough to share the link from where you have purchased those chairs?

[@constancerae9784]

Love your beautiful garden! Plan to use Vista petunias in my garden next year. Very alarmed to see the milkweed plants. I understand the desire to help the butterfly’s, but common milkweed is a thug. Not enough to control the seed. This milkweed will spread by runners underground and take over rapidly. Becomes very difficult to remove. There are several milkweeds that make better garden plants, starting with swamp milkweed. This variety has beautiful pink flowers too.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Hello Constance. Thank you so much for your comment on the Common Milkweed. I did some additional research, and yes, the spreading is a challenge. Yikes. I had no idea, and I'm very grateful for your insights. In Ontario, here are the varieties that are recommended to help Monarch Butterflies. Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) Butterflyweed (Asclepias tuberosa) Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) Antelope-horns Milkweed (Asclepias asperula) Purple Milkweed (Asclepias purpurascens) I see that Swamp Milkweed is on the list, so I will look to replace the Common variety with it. Thanks for sharing your garden knowledge. It's how we all grow together. Happy gardening.

[@janaangus]

Oh my goodness!! Just hit the jackpot. Found an Ontario Canadian gardener! For some reason everyone I seem to find are in the states or uk. Needless to say it’s a pleasant find. Where did you get you’re wall fountain?? I’ve been trying to find one.

[@soblessed6438]

Very pretty garden. I have the same fountain.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thanks. Do you recall...was it from Canadian Tire?

[@soblessed6438]

Jo-Ann Blondin I bought mine from Lowes many years ago.

[@QueenofCreative]

Everything looks beautiful like I can just reach out and touch it. What camera did you use to get such clarity?!

[@patsattamini]

Jo your videos are so calming and informative, thanks for them! Your garden is amazing and very inspiring

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Thanks for the lovely comments Patricia. I shoot with my phone. It's a Samsung Note 9 shot on 4K.

[@Sweetlady1916]

Where did you get the white trellis, with plants stands on the sides? What a colorful garden. I love🤩 super petunias.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

I got it at Homesence in Ontario Canada about 10 years ago. I don't see them very often anymore.

[@patchyoung5295]

How did you plan the flowers so that they climb high like a ball? Beautiful

[@jenniferlafleur4290]

Is everything ok? I haven't seen any tour from you in awhile??? Stay safe!

[@sathyaram9105]

Hello, your garden is stunning. I love the colors and it's so zen like. I live in the mississauga area. Where do you shop for your supertunias? I am planning to use them in my containers this year, but it could be a challenge finding them or the pricing, given the current situation.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Hi I have seen them at Home Depot, Sheridan Nurseries, Springbank Nurseries and Terra Nurseries (off Trafalgar and Britania) although this year it will be interesting to see what shows up where. It has been very cold so lots of inventory is delayed. Let me know if you find them.

[@angelabarker8611]

Beautiful garden!! What is your zone?

[@Ishisah]

Ahhh! Where’s the tour. I gave up.

[@normacalixto1499]

[@maplewheat2010]

This is a very beautiful garden/Wonderland! Awesome job! At the 16:42 mark, the plant in the hanging basket, that you referred to as "two of these ones" , that's around the Geraniums, what is the actual name of the plant? Thanks!

[@brittanygarrison8030]

That's what I'm talking about.

[@midnitemoon577]

Would you kindly tell us where to buy those adorable white hanging orbs? Love your garden!

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Hi Nellie. I got them from Homesence 3 years ago. I added the lights. I have seen other options at garden centres but warning they are part of your garden architecture investments :)

[@midnitemoon577]

@@JoAnnBlondin Awwww thank you for replying. I love these orbs with the lights you thought to out in there. You inspired me, so I went and bought Tony battery operated strings of lights as t Ross and some strings of bigger bulbs to hang from the edges of my patio canopy. Your garden is gorgeous! Thank you so much for all the tips. I love mandevilla plants--have about 8 in my garden in various colors. I never thought of putting a climbing mandevilla into a big pot of other mounding flowers. They look spectacular like that. Anyway, thanks again!!! Peace & sunshine! And lots and lots of plants!

[@JoAnnBlondin]

That's fantastic. If you're on Instagram send me a photo of how amazing it looks. I'm at @joannblondin on IG. Here's to happy moments in the garden.

Jo Ann Beautiful garden Quite artistic and lots of hard work. May I ask what is your hardiness zone.

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Hello. Thanks for the lovely comment. The garden is Zone 6a/6b using Canadian hardiness zones or zone 5 using USDA zones.

[@SaeedHassan8n]

Jo-Ann Blondin Ok thank you I am in Canadian hardy zone 5, Toronto.

Wei did you buy the white clear lights you have in your pink flowers?

[@JoAnnBlondin]

Hi Diana, I bought them at Canadian Tire about 15 years ago - just as the LED lights came on the market. They have lasted for years while the LED ones I bought didn't last one winter. Watch for sales this coming holiday season.

[@livingonthedelta7068]

seriously im listening to this and thinking the only reason you care is because of your gardem.if you dont want one of your plants and want to take it out do we do something to protect those plants from you on your property that you pay for?
