Garden Tour: Spanish Bungalow

[@jwil38]

I have loved reading all your wonderful and kind comments! Thank you 😊. Here is some of the information that has been requested. Cutter Backyard Bug Control is what I use for the mosquitoes. Watering is done by hand and in ground irrigation. The paint colors are all Sherwin Williams. The blue is Regatta SW6517, the red is Farmhouse Red SW2301 (no longer in the current color deck), and the white is Biscuit SW6112. At 24:00 Roger talks about variation in plant textures. Along with the Hosta is Yew and Nandina. At 33:00 the plant in the nursery container is Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea), behind it is Catmint, and to the left is Spiderwort. At 48:48 we discuss false ginger. It’s Chinese Wild Ginger (Asarum splendens).

John can you post a video in your page/account ? I would like to see any updates or changes to your garden . Please and thank you

[@brendacejda7069]

I think I'm almost at the 1 million times watched point! Who's with me???

[@valjohnson5835]

John has such talent and good taste. I so enjoy his tours. I rank his holiday home tour as one of my favorites along with yours Linda! I love what John said about connecting the outside of your house to the inside of your house. What a great tip! I have been doing that for years and didn’t realize it until I heard John say it. I hope you collaborate with John in 2022. ❤️

I miss having a mailman that comes to the door! He was in the background and a wonderful memory for me !

[@lynetteledoux2845]

Recently read an article about the Top 10 jobs / careers to avoid as “dying” from being needed -> the Mailman. I was like No!!! I make it my business to meet my mailman (person) and thank them for all they do. Hardworking, conscientious.

[@tamtrinh6883]

Wow, what a beautiful neighborhood!!! ❤️🥰❤️

[@jenniferhooks2454]

Absolutely my kind of guy, eclectic, putting into his landscape plants and things he loves. The garden looks “attended to,” not manicured but cared for with love.

[@nancyparmelee4161]

Good point! I know what you mean about manicured. I’ve been on many garden tours and have had a few myself and as soon as I see those clean edges from a landscaper, tons of trimmed shrubbery, truck loads of mulch, I immediately think landscape not garden. I find this in a lot of upscale subdivisions, not that they are not nice, but the gardens are in the smaller city lots. Less space, more creativity, more cozy intimate feel.

[@danielallen138]

@@nancyparmelee4161 I think it's rather like the furnishings in a model home. Nice, attractive, stylish, but no real heart or soul. All for show. This garden appears used and enjoyed and loved.

[@MarianneRuffhaven]

Yes. So much inspiration in this garden.

[@sabrinassuburbangarden9448]

Yes, yes, on the blue pottery.

[@catherinehayes56]

Just watched for the "I don't know how many times" and loved it like the first time! John you need to start your own KZbin channel especially now since Linda has moved into her Fairytale Cottage!!

[@jerryrobinpendleton5171]

Loved this garden tour! The owner is not a minimalist and his personality and love for collecting beautiful things and plants show! Each room was interesting and lush! The seating areas were my favorites! This homeowner does his own gardening, entertains often and he’s given us so many great tips on how to bring the inside outside! His use of blue ties everything together! I will be rewatching this tour. There was so much to see!

[@bethchaffee5591]

You have such a great way of making compliments and making others feel really good about their spaces and what they’ve created. This was so inspirational.

[@pamelaritch8587]

I can’t find anything I don’t like! I love that he saves everything and reuses it somewhere else. I inherited a rock collection and have added them to all of my pots and continue to enjoy them. Thank you Roger for those awesome sunflowers! Bravo!

[@mimiguidry4715]

What a stunning garden!!! I quite honestly cannot remember when I've been so happily, genuinely inspired. The collection of loved pieces and found objects so masterfully placed throughout the lush plantings is testament to the design saying: Collect what you love and somehow it will all work together. I can't thank you enough, Ms. Linda, for taking us on this lovely tour. Simply stunning!!!

[@sue2611]

I love the garden. It looks so inviting and comfortable.

[@mollypitcher9380]

John- thank you for showing us your beautiful yard. I think it’s the composition of everything that makes it so outstanding. For example, I see your arrangement of pots by your front door and it’s amazing. You probably think this is so easy to do, but believe me, I find it almost impossible to attain. Just gorgeous. Thank you again.

[@shirleyorensteen8973]

Linda, this is the 3rd time I have watched this tour, what an amazing space!! Enjoyed every turn! Thank you John for allowing us into the beautiful space that you have created. So well done.

That's my kind of garden, not real fussy, lots of texture, a strong mix of different plants. I'm loving the variegated privet display. I'm definitely going to apply that to my side yard. Thank you for sharing!

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

A wonderful tour! So many take-aways and ideas that can be easily applied, with many being very affordable. My favorite is the "bottle bouquet" which is a "two-for" -- you get to enjoy the content inside the bottle and when it's done, it beautifies the garden. Now, off to create some bouquets for my garden!

[@Alana.is.a.Golden]

One of my favorite tours! 💙🦋

I absolutely loved this garden tour! So wonderful to see different ideas!! So generous of him to allow the tour.

[@susangrother8931]

Oh my goodness! So many things to love. The area under the back shade is so personal which makes it even more lovely😀. Also love the 2 metal chairs with an oriental vibe. The front brick wall is very unique.Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@gardengal26]

That was fantastic! I find it so interesting to see other people's gardens because even if it's not necessarily your style, you can definitely pull something from it that can inspire you in your own garden. I loved the driveway side with the pots at the entries to the house...such great colored pots and blue flowers. It was so generous of him to allow the tour...and yes, an inside tour of the house would be fabulous! I do feel that you should connect the inside and outside of your house. It would be odd to have a very modern garden and come into traditional decor. I have a 1934 colonial and I've been creating cottage type gardens that I feel go very well with the aesthetic of the house. Lots of hydrangeas, hostas, cone flowers, black eyed susans, dahlias, along with planted hanging baskets and urns with ferns. I enjoy some structure with some free-form.

[@mkas291]

This is my favorite garden tour that you have done. Absolutely beautiful! Love all the wonderful collections used outside

[@danielallen138]

What a charming home and garden! I never knew OKC has such beautiful historic neighborhoods! It also looks like in addition to there being a mix of architectural styles, there are also homes of different sizes! In my area, most of the solidly built masonry or stucco homes are very large homes that are not only expensive to purchase and maintain, but also much more space than a small family needs or wants. I would love to live in a charming walkable neighborhood like this!

[@libbylife7161]

I use to live many years ago in Tulsa my x husband went to Oral Roberts school of medicine. In Tulsa there is many amazing old homes! Miss that area!

I love the philosophy indoors outdoors coexist

[@deborahr9237]

This tour was balm for the soul today. How fabulous - very pulled together gardens and I agree inside and outside spaces should connect and flow. Like going room to room inside - nice to have a flow. His blue is my blue - now I am more inspired than ever to find and collect even more. I too use a lot of rusted metals throughout. The colors of this home are both soothing and nostalgic. Totally inspired! Thanks to John and Roger - and to LV and Stewart of course.

Beautiful! Inside is beautiful but a little too much for my eyes.

[@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden]

Anyone else get total Moira Rose vibes from Linda sometimes. Especially at the 6:35 mark where she goes "Well done you!" with the hat and the glasses. It's a total compliment, but it made me giggle.

[@anneedfitzpatrickfitzpatri3294]

Love the outdoor room, would love to see the inside, must be beautiful!

[@nancyparmelee4161]

Yes, you should try to connect your outside to your inside. It is actually psychologically disappointing when you see a house from the outside and your mind is set up to see some expectation and that expectation is not met. This was a lovely tour full of the owners personality. It is truly what makes a garden tour, structure and detail that set a garden apart from someone else’s garden. After all , we all have the same plants it’s what we do with them that makes the difference.

[@danielallen138]

I know what you mean, but sadly we don't all have the same plants! A number of things in this garden would not survive where I live!

[@danielallen138]

As to the outside vs. inside, I think it depends. If the outside of a building is lackluster, even a public building (I"m thinking of a church, in particular), it can be amazing to come inside and be totally wowed! However, when a house is charming on the exterior, but inside it's just a warren of small, old, tired rooms, that IS extremely disappointing, and happens often enough, in my experience.

[@nancyparmelee4161]

@@danielallen138yeah I know you mean, obviously I can’t grow tropical plants here in New York where I live, but I was kind of referring more to the garden tours in my area where everyone does kind of have the same perennials that are sold in big box stores or nurseries around here. It’s a delight if someone has a plant I don’t always see or does something unusual with something I see a lot of.

[@danielallen138]

@@nancyparmelee4161 In NE Ohio, we've lost (at least for the foreseeable future) our major Home and Garden show. I miss it, because it's always been fun to go, especially as it usually was held in February, when everyone is sick of winter and anticipating spring. But I would laugh at some of the display gardens that landscaping companies would create. A border of African violets? Really? Or they'd show plants all in bloom that almost NEVER would bloom outdoors at the same time!

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

What a beautiful house and gardens. I love the pockets. The sections of stone or bricks to allow gardening are really lovely and practical.

A wonderful garden tour. I loved all aspects of his style of gardening with the architecture of his home, it just blends beautifully . I also love the blue and have a few blue glazed pottery in my garden, but now I want the bottle bouquet, loved that!! I also loved the bamboo even though it is very aggressive. It brings in such wonderful movement with the breezes. Some great ideas to pull into our own space. Thanks for the tour🥰

[@TheEarManLives]

So down to earth and natural. I tend to bring the outside in. I have dried pampas grass and a large bouquet of cattails in a floor vase. Wood and pottery are everywhere. This type of eclectic decor satisfies me and gives me peace. Many items are thrift store finds, and I have surrounded my home with things I love. I am definitely not a minimalist, either. Wonderful tour.
