Garden Tour: Two contemporary gardens in Spain

[@ThreeRunHomer]

The second Spanish garden is like a Japanese garden transposed to an arid climate. Greenery instead of flowers, tightly clipped shrub mounds, and a very controlled design that looks naturalistic. Beautiful.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Glad you enjoyed it. Regards Stephen

Where ever you visit the gardens are lovely. Interesting to see how gardens look with climate and plant restrictions.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

I agree and found these gardens fascinating as well. Regards Stephen

[@sandydarling9343]

Yes I loved that barbed wire comment too. Also love Ruth & Barrys trees.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching!

[@julieburness8719]

I agree with Stephen, lovely to look at ... but I love a lot of variety in my garden and definitely not rows of roses! The cork tree is beautiful

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching!

Really enjoy your videos, they are informative and interesting.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Glad you like them! Regards Stephen

[@kerryjean2223]

Thanks for sharing, very interesting.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching!

Fabulous tough plants. I have 2 of Ruth's cork oak seedlings growing in the paddock and already over 2 metres tall after 5 years.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Aren't they tough and unlike some of us they grow into stunning old age? Regards Stephen

[@paulacothren3591]

I don't like rows of rose either! Love the humor.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching!

[@sylviahardy4568]

Thank you for another interesting video guys. I admire this style of gardening, perhaps because it's mainly impossible in the uk, where you'd need whellie boots to walk what would be muddy paths for most of the year.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

nothing wrong with seeing how the other half live ! Regards Stephen

[@jaqmackie]

Just loved these gardens, thank you. I have to have flowers in my garden, but loved the mounds and grasses. I’ve tried to get a similar look with Australian natives.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

You can do it! Regards Stephen

[@KayentaRojo]

This was such a fantastic garden guys, thank you so much for the tour! Being from the southwest US, these gardens are very similar to what we have here - with many of the same plants. I bet the fragrance was wonderful! P.S. Just so you guys know Agave is a spanish word and is pronounced (ah - gah - vey )

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching!

Very unique gardens wonder if pomegranate would grow in sub tropics though Thanks for sharing Stephen & Matt love the videos with a 🍷 Jo-Anne 🌸GC

[@thehorti-culturalists]

A well drained site in full sun might do it. Regards Stephen

[@paulinecrispin121]

Love these gardens. Not sure the style would work for me. I am in the UK with clay soil and 😢

[@thehorti-culturalists]

It wouldn’t work for me either but more because I’m a plantaholic! Regards Stephen

[@paulinecrispin121]

I am a self confessed plantaholic too😊😊

[@chaminikumarak]

Hi I learned a lot from your videos,,thank you for sharing these. I would like to know plant varieties suitable for a dry creek bed. I live in mid blue mountains in NSW. My dry creek bed is used to direct storm water from the street away from my house. Thank you in advance.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

it all depends on what effect you are trying to create. For instance a native look which could include many native rushes and grasses as well as a number of Melaleucas and Callistemons. There are also many exotic grassy plants as well as Shrubby dogwoods, dwarf willows and even giant Chilean Rhubarb might work. Regards Stephen

[@chaminikumarak]

@@thehorti-culturalists thank you very much, I am using a mix of natives and exotics in other parts of my garden. So I am thinking of continuing the same pattern and adding a mix from your suggestions. I really appreciate your help. I have applied knowledge gathered from your videos to my gardening.

[@joanne-et6pm]

Ok

[@brocktoon8]

leftover barbed wire - 100%!

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching - and believing!
