My Top Design Tip for New Gardeners

[@cozyhome321]

Linda, I just love your vocabulary. It is such a joy to hear you speak!

[@majawow]

Indeed, I actually improve my English while learning about gardening. How cool is that.

[@DawnRK3204]

I’m always thinking the same thing.

[@dawnitalutz1953]

I have to write the words down and look them up. Love this.

[@sheilamarie3788]

Refreshing to hear someone speak intelligently.

[@Goot253]

I agree! I thought I had an above average vocabulary myself, but Lordy, Linda's use of language is quite an education for the rest of us. It's not pretentious it's just using her gift of a great vocabulary.

[@TheSkinSensei]

Dear Linda, I'm a dermatologist and a content creator from Manila, Philippines. I come from a family who loves plants but it's just last year when I really started to garden (one of the very few things that happened in this pandemic). I'd like to say I love watching you. YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER. You speak clearly and give concrete examples. I love how you describe your plants - reminds me of how a doctor like me needs to describe the skin in detail. I was screaming "yes, yes, yes!" when you said don't plant bamboo in your garden, hahahaha! SO DIFFICULT TO REMOVE! I had to hire professionals to dig them up. VERY COSTLY. When I'm down, I visit your channel. I don't find anything about it to be pretentious. I don't feel you're trying to impress us...you are just sharing your happiness. Thank you!

[@LindaVater]

This comment made my morning!

Here here!

[@daracobb530]

You inspire me so much I had to pause the video and go out and prune! I love your garden and teaching style. Now I am back for more.

[@suzetteccc]

Simply put - negative space makes the plants stand out. Love it! Very helpful.💚🌳

[@LindaVater]

Exactly!

[@faithhopelove8287]

I just found Linda on KZbin this year and my life has not been the same. First, all my money is being spent on plants. 😱 I have a garden now vs a back yard lol. I have pea gravel everywhere. Not bad fir my freshman year of gardening. My sophomore year goal- topiaries!! So glad I found this community!🌸

[@LindaVater]

Welcome!!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Love how friendly you are to those going by and your gorgeous yard!!!!

[@reneegibson8650]

Pruning is one of my favorite things to do and I thought maybe I was overdoing it until I saw your gardening methodology. It’s so true about how mentally therapeutic pruning can be. I love all of your content and have learned a great deal even though I’m a seasoned gardener. I’ve bought 3 Deutzia’s, (Chardonnay Pearls), because of you and I love them; also several boxwood and topiaries. Thank you for all of your outstanding videos. We’ve had the crazy weather here in central Connecticut too; record lows in the 40’s and me and the hubs were just at our favorite beach in RI this past Thursday and it was 78 degrees. It’s been raining for 2 days straight, but we need the rain. I can’t wait to see your next videos. I’m totally addicted!

[@LindaVater]

What a nice thing to say! Sounds like we’re birds of a feather :-)

[@maryrobison1984]

Her attention to detail is amazing! Love watching her videos!!!

[@LindaVater]

Thank you!

[@swbates3]

Thanks Linda - yes it’s been pouring in the north east so loved seeing the sunshine in your neck of the woods! Loved the idea of negative space and giving the garden definition. Thanks for the great idea!

[@daiseegray9110]

I trimmed my lilac bush exposing the bottom branches and love it! ☀️🌸

[@bonniescheufele4037]

Little by little I am learning how to appreciate gardening. My husband has always been the gardener in our family. I have stayed out of his way, but we are now moving into a different phase of our lives, and I need to step into the garden to not just appreciate it, but to get involved. Daunting at times, but I am slowly learning, and you have become my "go to" for information. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and passion, it helps guide me on my journey.

[@LindaVater]

Oh! Different phases different stages! Just channel your inner child my friend :-)

[@carollorion5130]

Linda, I cut my rhododendrons after they bloomed last year and was amazed this year how large the blooms were this spring. Your video on negative space is inspiring.

[@stellaha3729]

Hi Linda From watching your videos you have inspired me to revamp our decking area. You have also encouraged me to believ. that I can care for plants and keep them healthy. Thank you so much. 😊

[@patriciareed3510]

In Art as in Gardening, there is an Art to stopping! Negative space is like framing to a great piece of Art! Love your style!

[@cajpasc8501]

Definitely, this is helping me a lot. Some parts of my garden seem crowded but I was afraid of pruning. Negative space in the garden is a new concept for me Thank you Linda❤️❤️❤️, from New York

[@dorothyevans697]

Colorado here. Very wet Memorial Day weekend. I don’t mind the rain but could do without the ping pong size hail. Truly enjoyed the negative space learning. Bless you Linda and Stewart. Take care of that back.

[@LindaVater]

Hail is the worst!

[@melissaturner7236]

I’ve been attending David Culp’s monthly webinars and he often refers to the importance of negative space, providing images from his own garden that demonstrate this design principle. Thank you for sharing your tips and demonstrating practical examples. It is so helpful as I continue to learn more about garden design.

[@dominiquestewart5178]

Hi Linda, after watching your viburnum pruning episode last week, I took to a side garden bed that hasn’t really ever done much behind the garage and have completely given it a full overhaul. I removed a lot of euphorbia that self seeds and pulled out scrubby nothing plants, added a huge amount of seasoned manure, but best part was creating a huge amount of negative space using your signature under pruning technique. A thousand times improved! Wish I could add a photo!

[@LindaVater]

I love your energy Dominique!

[@Cenepk101]

Excellent- I actually spent the morning doing this with my black fennel !!! It is the centerpiece of my potager - for swallowtail butterflies. Made a huge difference. Linda !!! Love the fashion epilog !!!!

[@wandasinger7713]

Hi Linda I’m in zone 9b Northern California. Our weather is very hot. My tomatoes are going crazy 😜. Tons of tomatoes. My flowers look beautiful. I enjoy watching you and I learn so much. You are a excellent teacher. God Bless you 🙏🏾

[@deborahr9237]

I LOVE your baskets - I have received all 4 and they are so versatile and beautiful. Your brace looks like an obi belt for gardeners - a fashion statement must have. As with interior design, negative space can be a good thing. All good examples of how a little pruning can have major impact.

[@LindaVater]

Yes to all!

[@amytransue8756]

Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Last week it was sunny snd in the 90s with high humidity and then dropped to rainy and cold with temps in the low 40s. I have followed you for awhile now and have seen you do this “negative space” pruning and have begun this in my own garden. It really IS a game changer.

[@majellamaas3996]

I typically think of negative space negatively. I'm going into the garden today to clip away and expose the understory.

[@LindaVater]

Excellent!!

[@nicolevandermeulen6809]

You are so eloquent! Thank you for explaining why you are doing the things that you are doing in the garden.

[@Rougebasque]

Beautiful light in your garden! Here in the South West of France (near Biarritz) coldest month of May since a long time. Temperatures at night similar than the month of November! But today the birds are singing and the sky is blue!

[@LindaVater]

Enjoy every second!

[@leilaluginbill916]

I am a painter as well as a gardener and I see so many similarities between the two. In my watercolors, negative space is an important consideration as is color, form and composition. I garden almost an acre of what was my grandmother’s, then my mother’s, and now mine. We each have had a different style of gardening over the last 100 years. I live on the shores of Puget Sound in rural Washington. Lush doesn’t begin to describe the vegetation growth this year...after growth in March, April, and May I begin the cutting back. I’m doing a fund raising garden tour for the local senior society next month...there is no rest for the weary. I love your channel and use you for inspiration...I’ve only been to Oklahoma once a long time ago.😍

[@LindaVater]

Then you must come again! How fortunate that you live in such a beautiful natural environment… And that you add to its fundamental beaut by creating and sharing. Thank you for your service my Gardening friend

[@MindysPlace]

Michigan - Frost this morning, 90's last week. Spent last evening covering and this morning uncovering plants.

[@eileenchang2173]

Similar weather in Michigan as in Ontario Canada. It’s not surprising that the world is experiencing these weather patterns due to global warming and other factors. We don’t live on a static planet.

[@laurayoder3553]

It's been nuts!

[@GrowingHomeGardening]

We're in Michigan too and I stopped planting annuals. I have it ingrained in my head that I won't get emotional about losing plants before Memorial Day, because it is quite normal to have frost here at this time of year. Saved me so much stress!

[@sherryabel8297]

I had two bushes under my dogwood tree and removed them this year and it really looks beautiful now. Thanks for all your wonderful youtube videos.

[@toypianokeys]

This was such a great infromative video. Saving it for future reference as my garden matures. Thank you and have a lovely Sunday.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Loved how you clipped each bush for space to see the other plant. Thank you.

[@lisacarbone7792]

Great video Linda! Awesome topic and you explained it beautifully...

[@sunshineabc9437]

Today here in South Central Pennsylvania, it’s 45 degrees and rain showers.... my petunias are loving it actually. I’ve planted a ton of white ones and they look awesome.....the showers are not bad because the sunshine is suppose to return tomorrow ☀️☀️☀️... Linda, you always look so pretty...when gardening💃💃💃. Inspirational 💐💐🌸🌸

[@denisedorsey2889]

New subscriber here. Your title sucked me in immediately. I have successfully incorporated negative space in my garden as it has matured and changed over the past 25 years. For me it has been a way to allow my beloved plants to be seen and not lost in the garden. Here in Oregon’s Willamette Valley we are getting hot weather this week. 90’s for a few days. My newly planted babes will have to be closely monitored. Fun to read all the comments from your viewers worldwide.

[@LindaVater]

Welcome!!!

[@catherineteel4109]

Great video as usual Linda! We are heading to 100 degrees today and 106 tomorrow in NorCal! On another note, my daughter is concerned about my “plant and all things garden addiction” 😂 have a blessed day!

[@LindaVater]

Oh my! On both counts?!

[@deaniklein5629]

I've only been watching your videos a short while and came upon them by accident. I have lived most of my 78 years in the hill country of Texas except for 4 years in central Oklahoma where our daughter lives. We are currently in the process of moving back to Oklahoma around the Chandler area and am so happy to have your videos to show me what I can and can't grow in the area. When we lived there before we tried to have a vegetable garden but the gophers were rampant at our place so that didn't work out too well. I will be better prepared this time with tools I'm learning, not just from you but other helpful gardeners. Thank you for doing these videos and I hope you continue.

[@ritasicari7518]

I love the fashion blurbs at the end of your videos.

[@jackiefields1607]

Thanks for reminding your viewers of this important design concept!

[@terrybouck5192]

Wonky weather in Michigan! Moderate drought. Two weeks in May in the 80’s then this week cold, windy even 30’s at night. Today is perfect Michigan spring, an azure cloudless sky. Low 70’s, no wind. PERFECT DAY

[@druidesspath]

Same here in NE Wisconsin, although I don’t think this is anything abnormal for the Upper Midwest. It is always a bit of a rollercoaster this time of year 😂 What was abnormal is that we didn’t have a mid-April blizzard like we usually do. My husband and I have also noticed the lilacs and spirea have blossomed earlier than usual.

[@marythomson3229]

I love how it looks when you open up the area around plants. I now plan to do that. Yaaay!! 🌺 Alabama

[@LindaVater]

Yes!🙋‍♀️

[@bestinhomeandgarden]

I love this very practical how-to with you. I totally agree that the existence of negative space makes the rest of your tableau sing! 🤩

[@susanmartin5465]

I purchased two 14” hobo baskets during your QVC premier. The material is fantastic! They look great in the garden. I just ordered the 11” to have at the ready at my garage door. 💜

[@LindaVater]

I have to agree… I think they’re pretty fabulous!

[@marykay55]

NJ here.....non stop rain off and on and temps in the 40s for the past 3 days....horrible! Looking forward to seeing the SUN !!!

[@tingczhao]

Yea, Linda, I totally agree with your negative space. This is the first time I learn the verbiage of negative space. I have just trimmed and pruned some of my bushes and trees with the same concept. Since I like bonsai look and have created a few, I use that same concept for my garden. That is to create some negative space to reveal the beauty of the tree or bushes in addition to create the air flow for a healthy shrub. That is another reason I really enjoy seeing your topiaries. I will be creating some of mine. When I see any tree that could be a great candidate, I will purchase it. I have learned a lot from your videos and really appreciate your daily walk as well. It is always a pleasure to walk with you. Have a blessed weekend!

[@LindaVater]

This is like "drawing on the right side of the brain" for gardeners! Very interesting video. I'm not a new gardener, but now I'm going to go look at my garden and study the negative spaces. I already know I need to do a lot of pruning. Thanks!

[@novicegarden5733]

Oh Linda! I love this! Such an underrated value in the garden.

[@laurayoder3553]

Hi Linda. Thanks for being so generous with your experience. This weekend, I put your negative-space tips to use in my garden, including clearing out all the lower growth on a huge, overgrown pussy willow at the top on my water feature. The difference is simply amazing. I wish I could figure out how to share a picture here. Thanks again. All my best, Laura.

[@nanaof07]

Western NY. We had 80 degree a few days ago then dropped to the 40s with lots of rain , but having a beautiful day today. Highs in the 60’s today By the way I’ve been opening up shrubs for a few years now and I love the look. Looks sort of tropical/bonsai. Happy Memorial Day!

[@karenberkebile8275]

I live in North Alabama and we've had one of the coolest Springs in memory. I have thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it!!

[@mrsnoah78able]

Yes! Yes! Creating negative space is one of those tricks that make us look like genius gardeners. I also prize this practice for positive stress relief. I have recently been thinking about when/where it is best to use gravel and/or mulch. Why would one type be preferred over another. Would love to hear your decision making progress on this topic.

[@lilywhitepurity]

So helpful! These sort of behind-the-scenes- maintenance is often over-looked by my favorite garden instructors, but as you say, “is very important!”

[@sandramigacz1766]

Love your channel! In Rock Falls, WI we had hail and big snow flurries last week and this week it is supposed to be 85! Crazy!!!! I have started to create some negative space in my gardens, and I love it.

Love this strategy. Case in point, my son had to remove the understory of some trees in order for a bulldozer to access the back of his property. This created a beautiful view into a little glen of ferns and bleeding hearts that we had not been able to see. It also allowed us to view the beautiful architecture of the trees themselves. It totally changed the feeling of the whole back yard.

Mobile, Al. we had a wonderfully long Spring. Now we're in the high 80s which is normal for this time of year. Love watching you prune out some. Your garden is my dream garden but having a husband who spent his life in construction he likes everything lined up which I've had to fight for almost 30 years. I fell in love with your style approx. 30 years ago when I took out a book at library called 'The Well Placed Weed' by Ryan Gainey. It's more of a garden design, indoors and out than how to book but something I think you'd love if you've never seen it.
