Does anyone else ever find themselves heading to the local nursery right after watching videos of beautiful gardens like this GORGEOUS one?? I have a long way to go, but these tips are so very helpful.

What a stunning garden! And thank you Heather for the 4 c’s! That really helped me grasp cultivating a garden! Loved your tribute to your grandparents and the idea of shopping in your own garden.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

[@darrisnelson5223]

I love Heather‘s use of pots in the garden! I am inundated with deer and gophers. With pots I can do a “test” and if the deer find the plant enjoyable, I just moved the pot to my second story deck or front porch. It’s obvious why putting plants in pots for gophers makes sense. if I plant, I have to put everything in a cage because even if the gophers don’t eat it, they will undermine the roots. Thank you so much for this tour of Heather’s garden and all of these incredible tips!❤❤

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad you found some helpful tips! Happy Gardening 🌻

[@tammym110]

Heather has a gorgeous garden. I found a lot of takeaways from her garden to use in my own garden that I am planning. I have a blank slate to plant. I love her use of containers and grow bags to fill in the gaps. The dahlia grow bag idea is brilliant. Why dig up the tubers to overwinter when you can bring the grow bag inside. The pot in pot idea is great to use for seasonal color like daffodils and tulips in spring to hanging baskets for summer to mums in fall. Brilliant idea.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

[@rosemarythyme6351]

Gorgeous cottage gardens with a romantic color palette throughout with so many creative and smart design elements. I will be applying your 4 C's to my front garden. It's one thing to learn about bloom-time planting for the three seasons, plus winter interest, but to see it in Helen's garden really brings it to life! I also love the idea of using containers as blooming fillers in the garden and using existing perennials and shrubs to one's advantage to create the cottage feel. I'll be sharing this video with my gardening friends. There's something for everyone from beginner to master gardener!

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it! Heather is very thoughtful in her approach. Thanks for watching and commenting.

What a wonderful garden! I love all the different interests you have. Cottage beautiful.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

What an incredible accomplishment! Everything is so lush and beautiful This is my basic color scheme of pinks, blues, purples and whites. Then seasonal dashes and pops of surprise colors. Seeing the before and after of the beds is very inspiring . I do need to learn how to have continuous blooms. I am that amature who goes to the nursery and buys everything blooming in the early spring. In the fall I do plop and play with pumpkins and fall mums, but don't have succession flowers. I need to learn as this is stunning! What a gorgeous , magical space to get lost in. Lots of work, but the romance and ambiance are totally worth it.

Try growing plants from seed. It's way cheaper. I've been growing some perennials from seed it's so satisfying. I'm not that green fingered but love gardening as I find it very calming.

[@cathyhermanson10]

Wow! That garden is spectacular! It is the most wonderful space and I do love purple and pink together. Heather is a master! It reminds me of an English garden on steroids.. I have a shady garden but Heather gave me such inspiration! I adore the pot hack of putting flowers planted into a large pot. You could always change it out with seasonal items.

So beautiful thank you for sharing your passion for gardening....master level indeed ❤

[@RuthieP67]

Wow! Not only a beautiful garden but some truly invaluable tips!! Those 4 Cs … and the space behind the hedge … and even just the idea of using the rambling forsythia to create the hedge in the first place! I have one of those crazy wild forsythias, which I inherited, creates useful height but otherwise I don’t feel in control of it and I’m sure I could do something so much more creative with the space 🤔 So that’s on my mind. And while we all think about moving from season to season, I don’t think we generally come close to the cleverness of this planning. For example, why have I never thought about following on with the exact same colour, so that I can be sure that the combination really works?! So simple but I’ve certainly never been told that or even considered it! My brain is working in overtime right now … I’ve learned so much. I’m definitely going to have to watch it again. I do take screenshots throughout so that I have points of reference to return to (I have ADHD so things go in one ear and then evaporate! They don’t stay long enough to go out the other!! So if I don’t record everything useful I might as well not have ever seen it!) But also the fact that she manages her garden with such clear structure makes it so much simpler. The fact that she has already decided which variants she likes best in each spot means she has predictability … which makes it much easier to think about how to make improvements, say ‘how can I introduce some height?’ or ‘where might I introduce some peach colour?’ And I can also recognise that she communicates every concept so simply and clearly; it means it’s instantly understandable and you’re not still trying to work out what something means while the presentation goes on and you’ve missed other key points. Invaluable stuff ladies - thankyou very much for your generosity in both time and ideas! 👏🏻🪴🪻🌷🌺🌸🌹🌻💖 xxx

Wow! What a beautiful garden and some fantastic ideas. Particularly when you have certain plants that you love. I love the idea of getting another variety to keep the colour and form going in your garden for longer. Love the container idea, which I use also for dahlias. I grow them in big black plastic pots and pop them in the garden. You can't see the pots. I think I need to do some more though.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

[@tinaknutsen]

Your garden is beautiful. I live on a hill with very rocky hard clay soil. Every year I buy compost bags, potting mixes, fertilizers, and mulch every other year since I have deciduous trees throughout. I have accidentally bought invasive plants thinking they were lovely and had the perfect spot for 10 of them…they became my garden thugs! I am constantly trying to dig up the roots of Snow on the Mountain ( Gouts Weed) and the ivy was already here… I have to keep it from growing up the tree and bricks. And some ground cover that was in another bed I think it’s lithium dainty purple flowers/ dark tiny leaves…I stopped fighting that one and planted a bunch of Colorado tulips and due to how matted it is the squirrels and other rodents leave them alone. Planted my other beds that don’t have the lithium and the squirrels, voles and gophers get them every year so I started doing daffodils because I heard something in the daffodil bulbs the rodents don’t like… sure enough they left them alone. My husband bought a tractor a couple years ago and that’s been a back saver and time saver. I couldn’t figure out why the Satomi dogwood I purchased 4 years ago was hardly growing. We had to move it to put a fence in and there was a boulder about 300 lbs preventing the roots from growing. I planted as a young tree and dug the hole as directed 2 times the size of the container and never hit the rock with the shovel when i originally planted it, so i had no idea until my husband had to move it with the tractor since a 12' post was going there. we are half way through the build and i hope this tree makes it because a $180 for a tree was expensive. It is now a $100 more for that same tree.

It seems this garden is missing something I love and that is deciduous trees that add so much form and character in winter when nothing is blooming.

[@pennymcconnell3372]

There were a whole series of small trees in the borders but they ere not referred to and I was hoping we could find out the name of them. Not sure whether they were all the same.
