Love both of those beds. Love all your ideas. You’re so inspiring. Thank you, Michelle.

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you so much!

[@chives2019]

You did it again, Michelle. This is so helpful. I have a very similar "pocket" garden and I've been trying to figure out what to do. Thanks

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so welcome!

Love your channel, but this is my kind of video! Thank you!

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@jeangardensinIllinois]

Great ideas! I really like your descriptions of each item. Good information! Thank you ❤️

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so welcome!

[@StudioPashnada]

I really enjoyed this. The only thing that would make it better would be actual photos of the finished projects.

[@mytigereyez]

I was just going to comment the same, and since it's been 3 and 6 years, would love to see how they look now!

[@pragmatic111]

I love your vision wish I had some. I know what I like but have trouble "seeing it" in my yard.

[@wtillett243]

I appreciate your sharing the designs you’ve done. This morning I went a found some of the plants you’ve highlighted. I love it.

[@suzybuchite1669]

Really love your info. I may just copy one ofmyour ideas for front of my house. Thank you.

[@gardeningTLC]

Go for it!

[@judyanderson8782]

Both pockets looks beautiful. Thanks. I wish you had a magic bullet for weeds besides the three you mentioned. I see some gardeners plant numerous plants in their beds and so weeds can't grow, they say. I don't think that's my answer cause I'm pulling out weeds from the middle of some plants. I didn't count, but I bet I've pulled many thousands of weeds this spring. Love your videos.

[@johnmahland363]

Thank you I was really good. I like your presentation style and communication and excitement. I love that you can see the house as you build it.

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@gardeningTLC]

No problem 😊

[@debbiehoagland548]

I've been considering getting a fountain. You brought up some good points that I never considered. Thank you for the advice!

[@gardeningTLC]

My pleasure.

Thanks for sharing this! 💯

[@gardeningTLC]

You bet!

[@maryalexis7328]

Thank you soooo much for sharing your expertise. I have one of those areas that needs this type design.

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so welcome!

[@mavisjones4750]

Great video! Wished I had seen this before I started working on my "pocket" bed. That being said, I've actually used some of these ideas. After watching this, I may tweak the design a little and move a few things around. Would love to see something similar for a more southern climate, such as zone 7b / 8a.

[@juliazoutendyk5959]

Your videos are so inspiring, and I'm saving many of them for future use.

[@lalaydade3364]

Thank you for doing these design video! I would love more difficult area's beds and combo beds because my home has many! I would love afternoon sun bed please "west". Thank you!

[@denisecoviello5619]

So much great information! I’m doing research to redo our driveway bed this fall. Love that you note what is deer resistant. There’s pockets of woods throughout our neighborhood and a hundred acres wood across the street. Deer is a primary consideration in my choices. Thank you! 🌱

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@flatcreek4665]

Fun video.

[@PeggyMills]

Love both designs, Michelle. Back in Black Sedum is a favorite of mine too.

[@carmenkuhn3865]

Enjoy the rain we desperately need some in SW Missouri

[@cinderellafan362436]

Thank you Michelle! This was such fun, seeing your designs! I love your choices of plants in both. I am looking forward to seeing more designs in the future. Have a blessed week! ❤

[@trudisabaj2741]

You bring joy!

You have such a wealth of knowledge in the landscape arena - thanks for sharing it with us!

[@gardeningTLC]

My pleasure!

[@kendrahuggins1069]

Thank you!! A lot of people show their beautiful spaces but don't share their reasoning or maintenance details--very helpful!!

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

Oh I love this!❤. Seeing the blank slate, my mind starts thinking, and of course something immediately pops in my mind…but I want to see what you come up with. Well as soon as that fountain popped up, I said yes! My first thought was water. I actually saw a pond and waterfall there. I could just imagine the sound of water in that “cove”. But of course most people are leery of ponds thinking they’re high maintenance. And yes, there are some maintenance requirements, but not as much as people think. And NOTHING is zero maintenance!😊. But a fountain is just perfect. And, of course, plants!❤. Love Karl foerster!😊

[@gardeningTLC]

Gardening is so much fun, and I love how different people will see different things!! 😀😀

[@carriegaines8047]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a very similar flower bed that faces Northeast in my zone 5 garden. For 4 years I have had such a hard time figuring out what to put here, and now my wheels are turning. Fortunately I have some good bones with evergreens and a couple of trees. Now to get started on everything else!

[@Jordan-dg8tp]

I wonder if others would get a rough feedback on my "island" garden bed in my front yard - It faces south, mostly full sun. Roughly 20' long, about 15' wide. To me it hits green, red/white/blue, and a little tan/apricot/yellow for highlights. Back row is Karl Forester, mid back is Denim and lace sage, mid front has lavender (i found a variety that starts with white flowers and then ages to purple in the season) on the edges, pink/white phlox inbtween, with a apricot/pink rose as my centerpiece. In front of that I'm still deciding, but I have reddish painted daisies. It keeps the watering to the edges while keeping the more xeric stuff away from the water.

Sounds very nice

[@greentlover7381]

You are definitely inspiring! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so welcome!

[@Bandaid17]

I love your channel. I subscribed immediately. You fill a gap missing from some of the other gardening channels and it’s so refreshing to see you so enthusiastic about your craft. A great plantswoman. So many great ideas for (regular joe) homeowners. Could you add (in the written description) a comment about sun/shade requirements? Most times you do mention it but not always. Also seeing as it’s a concern, a comment about its pollinator use (if applicable). I’m sure your channel will become a great success. (Master Gardener NEPA now zone 6)

[@gardeningTLC]

Great suggestions

[@Ontariogardenlady]

Incredibly helpful! Thank you Michelle for sharing all your gardening knowledge 🌸🌷

[@gardeningTLC]

[@joanshute3384]

Oh Michelle you did and outstanding job on those flower beds. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤

[@michellemacumber2690]

Both pocket gardens are beautiful, though I especially like the first one…maybe because it seemed to have be more deer resistant options. I would love to hear ideas for similar pockets. My own challenging pocket is on the northwest corner of the house.

[@denisewaller307]

You are best! Learning so much. Thank you!!

[@gardeningTLC]

Happy to help!

[@dawnreynolds519]

Loved watching you design. It was so interesting listening to your plant choices and reasons for using them. Great video!

[@gardeningTLC]

So nice of you

[@LynnLouisePS]

This is such a great video! Thank you! More, please,

[@RedSeaCustomz]

Your channel is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I need garden bed inspiration and have spent this entire week trying to figure out what I can do in my front beds and studying each plant and shrub, and trying to decide what I'm going to use! The type of beds you're sharing are pretty close to exactly what I am trying to learn! New subscriber immediately! You are also just a joy to watch and listen to!

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad I could help! And Welcome!!

[@catherineprice3830]

Great designs. Will be sharing some of your ideas with my son for his new garden beds. Thanks!!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing content for small gardens. I live in town on a regular city lot, so not much space. I am struggling with designing my garden because it’s so small. I want one of EVERYTHING at the garden store but have nowhere to put everything…lol

So glad!

[@chadleybradley5268]

Blue star juniper struggles for me, not dead but I've had it for about a year and it's not looking fantastic. I have it by a peach tree so it gets morning sun & nice loamy soil so not sure what the problem is/was. We did have pretty hard drought last year but I did give it supplemental water. The mugo pine I have is a absolute tank though, pristine foliage in absolute full sun.

[@gardeningTLC]

Hmmm...I usually have excellent results with the junipers....

[@phyllisbechtel7141]

Love this, let’s see more!

[@BG112387]

You're awesome!

[@margaretphlipsak8973]

Really nice, thanks.

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad you liked it!

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

I love both your designs. My pocket bed gets full shade in the morning, and the full hot afternoon sun until sunset. I would love to have mostly perennial flowers, but I don't know what would do well from full shade to full hot afternoon sun. Right now, I just have some dwarf boxwood shrubs in the area. I live in zone 8b, south Georgia. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@gardeningTLC]

I will have hot sun design coming soon

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

@@gardeningTLC Great! Thank you!

[@jenniferadamek2303]

I love these videos. So helpful! What is the name of your garden center?

[@gardeningTLC]

You do a great job! I Love your designs!!! Where is your Garden Center? I live in zone 5 also.

[@gardeningTLC]

[@dustyflats3832]

Enjoy watching the designs for ideas, thank you. We have a metal roof and short overhang and snow slides off and would smash plants below. What ideas do you have for such an area? Only thing I can figure is perennials with main island bed away from house.

[@gardeningTLC]

If you can cut back the plants snow is a great insulator.

[@dustyflats3832]

@@gardeningTLC that’s a great point. Would like conifers, but the whole roof of snow is just too heavy and will just use those plants in the sitting area of a fenced in project. I have arbs in there already and we have deer. I think I will make the area between house and project a secret path. So far I have a perennial and hydrangea that are working under that danger area. It’s all difficult to make it look nice with the fence which I still need to design so it doesn’t look like a zoo. We are in the country and far from road but still want it to look nice. Thank you.

[@CraigPearson-dh1vv]

nice video

[@gardeningTLC]

Thanks

[@Jordan-dg8tp]

Also, does Oso Lemon Zest take a long time to break dormancy? I overwintered one in a pot this winter and almost all my stems have blackened and I hope it hasnt died. I haven't seen budding/swelling while most of my stuff has broken so far.

[@gardeningTLC]

Not that I have noticed

[@PickleDoll432]

So lovely! BTW, I have not had any luck with Cat Pajamas. Everyone I have had has died after the first bloom. Do you have ny other Nepeta recommendations? I have had good luck with "Walker's Low" - but as you state - they get leggy very quickly.

[@gardeningTLC]

There is a junior walker and a kit kat. I like both of those as well for smaller nepeta

[@kaynucklehead1633]

I just found your channel and like the planning and how the plants are selected. I tried to hear what you called the plant in the container but my hearing 'low sodoma ball' didn't produce the results I was hoping for. Can you provide the name again? I'm trying to see if it would be a perennial in 7a. Thanks Michele!

[@gardeningTLC]

The container is a low sedona bowl. And the annual in it was ageratum

[@kaynucklehead1633]

@@gardeningTLC Cute little plant thank you!

What about solar fountains

[@kaystinebrink1220]

My centers die out. I'm ready to pull all of them (10) and start over. They are 10 years old. The die centers started by year 5.

[@gardeningTLC]

On karl foresters? I have never experienced that.

[@chookglendinning821]

Have you ever done a home where the front yard is actually the side of the house. Thisn is our issue.

Well yes. My house is positioned that way.
