Linda Vater!😂 The fake and fabulous tricks 🤭 in the garden are absolutely brilliant! 😂Who would have known 🤭 Thank you💞

[@E.U.11]

What an awesome trick, Linda!! 😃👍👍👍 See this is why I'd call gardening artful, since you need to have some good creative skills...😉 So therefore using plants as an tool to express your artwork is just another proof how artsy you are...😍 great job, garden queen!! 🤗❤

[@TheresAGirlInTheGardens]

I literally lol’ed when you pulled out that fake plant 😂😂 great idea, you can’t tell at all!

[@LindaVater]

I know right!

[@ellized.1872]

❤❤❤ May God bless you more Miss Linda!😘🍀

[@charlesgilley1601]

Linda, oh, how I love your you tubes and your garden. You are the best. Thanks for all you do!

[@Onandpopping23]

What a great idea!! Love it!!

[@braceletlife28]

I am a new fan. You are magic! Thank you for sharing your joy.

[@cherylschumacher1832]

Simply brilliant!!!!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Love your garden hack!

[@1955missellie]

Absolutely love the idea with the Nandina trimmings! I have some that are 10' tall and could use some trimming.

[@leahcraft8309]

That was so funny !! I love watching you 🌳🌻💚

[@aletoaleto727]

Omg thats so funny!! And awesome!! Thanks for the video:)

[@deborahmac1997]

You just gave redemption to some pesky nadinas. Your cheat is ingenious. Especially like the temporary pot filler idea. I'm the one snapping the berry clusters off before they fall and germinate!

[@rachellleleux906]

That is awesome!!

[@kmarch6630]

Your garden cheat is a good idea. I do something similar for Christmas in my large garden pots. Some spruce or fir branches, holly, magnolia and a red bow.

[@LindaVater]

Beautiful idea!

[@kmarch6630]

@@LindaVater Thanks!

[@gossipwithkashifjamshaidawan]

Really beautiful garden

[@HowsItGrowing]

I am bowled over laughing. It’s brilliant! 😂🤣

[@GardenDoodles]

Nice tip! Thank you.

[@LindaVater]

You bet!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Linda, you are the best at what you do, when you said “fake” I thought you were going to pull something artificial from there 😂 phewwww! I love that idea, it’s going to die anyway in a few days but it could add instant glory to a needed spot!

[@LindaVater]

And when it’s cool, and slightly damp, it lasts forever!

[@nancymcmillan7220]

Very resourceful cheater. Love it.

[@whatagreatlife]

The fake plant which is actually a real plant is BRILLIANT! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@flowerpower3618]

I don’t have cable. Thankyou for this free KZbin channel💕

[@LindaVater]

You bet!

[@joywhitley3141]

Linda, you are so slick! I expected a pot and it’s just a branch....brilliant. I was hoping to see you using your clippers. You know how we love watching you work. 😊

[@LindaVater]

Lol!!

[@rdarrett3635]

Yes. I thought it was going to be in a pot. 😂🤣

[@fudge6509]

Hi Linda, please show us how you have laid your paths ...I love the slabs and so on, and would like to copy you xxx

[@leahall6715]

Your secret hack is INGENIOUS!!!!!

[@LindaVater]

I thought so lol!!

[@debm8470]

Just wondering if we EVER get to meet Stewart....

[@michaliareeton3247]

Hi Linda great video today. Linda cheating in the garden well naughty. But if it works why not. They do look lovely there and they do fill in a space

[@rdarrett3635]

Do you have a video on trimming your nandina domestica? I have one that is about 8 feet tall and the berries are making it bend. I don’t want to cut it down because I want the berries over the winter. Luckily, I have a beam to my porch that I can prop it up against. Soon that won’t be enough.

[@dreamasue]

Help !! I have a spot that is like under the porch roof & gets No sunshine. What could if anything, could I plant there ?? Plus , what is the best box woods to use in Full sun ?? I would love to make some topiaries like you have , I love them !! ❤️❤️❤️ Please help ! Thank you 😊

[@charlesgilley1601]

Linda, I am writing you these comments. Charles is my husband and it looks like he is writing but I am not computer savvy and I can't fix it so I can write the comments myself.

[@nancyparmelee4161]

I cut small evergreen trees and stick them in pots for Christmas. They look like they’re growing in there. Then I put lights on them. You could have fooled me with those branches.

[@sosoutherncustomequestrian4598]

You boots are adorable. Where did you get them?!

[@LindaVater]

Target years ago!

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Linda you are too funny with your "garden secret". I love that idea. Put that in a pot; a new topiary....LOL

[@LindaVater]

Yes!

[@trish2687]

👍👍

[@dagostinopamela]

What is that pretty long colorful string hanging in from your tree?

[@LindaVater]

It was made by a friend of mine. @hungryhollar on instagram!

[@bebekanter6640]

I will use you "fake" bush idea here in Zone 5B:)

[@LindaVater]

👏👏👏👏

[@lisaneinast9883]

Where do you find fake nandina bushes that large! That’s great!

[@nancywells5626]

Great idea using artificial plants in the garden, especially if there are too many roots to actually plant in the spot you want. Artificial plants have come along way in the last 20+ years.

[@LindaVater]

These are real,,,just stalks i pruned!

[@nancywells5626]

@@LindaVater Now I understand why your cuttings took too rooting. If they were not artificial. LOL... I need a brain today.

[@vln4443]

I wonder... do you get those large flying tree roaches in OK? Your lush garden is beautiful but one of those flying into me at night would give me a heart attack 😭😝

[@LindaVater]

Sick!!! No! Thank goodness!

[@reginamitchell9532]

Do you have a resource for identifying 🌲 trees 🌳 on our property?

[@LindaVater]

Call your state arborist or local county extension center and ask for recommendations!

[@reginamitchell9532]

Thank you, I’ve tried several online resources but I’m basically guessing. I appreciate the reply! Have an awesome 🌈 day.

[@AbhishekMurudkar]

Local gardening group on Facebook. We have one here I live and the members are very helpful in identifying plants.

[@reginamitchell9532]

Abhishek Murudkar thank you!

[@GardenDoodles]

Try asking on the GrowIt app and you will get an answer pretty quickly. We found out for many of our plants.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

😂 came for the shade stayed for the fake 🤣 👍🏻😁

[@alvaronunez8707]

Love the fake plant trick 🤣🤣🤣 by the way, what kind of nandina is that?

[@sarahmarti141]

FAKE PLANT!! Fantastic idea.
