Thank you for posting your videos. I've searched the internet for landscaping information that is practical and informative and finally found your feed.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Glad it helps. There's also several hundred articles on my website.

Our garden is a naturalistic kitchen garden + wild herbs, wild flowers + mediterranean + rock garden. I love it that way!

[@fabricdragon]

i have found that the "traditional" bones, especially edgings, keep the cottage garden or naturalistic garden from looking completely unkempt. we found semi rustic concrete edgers and outlined the beds and paths, which meant that no matter how wild the bed looked it was clear "thats deliberate". i will also say that as a disabled gardener, one of the things that gets overlooked (guilty as charged) is how much maintenance the specific plants and hardscape take to keep within beds, or to keep the "look" you want. My husband wanted wood chips on a specific path, but no edging! and... uh... yeah, in our specific location that just means weeds, wood chips migrating all over, and so on. it also makes it hard for me as i cant just mow it flat without throwing woodchips at my legs. so we use a clover mix, now, on our paths... and sometimes flagstone or etc in areas , so i can use the electric push mower to go over the paths and neaten them. likewise, bramble type plants (blackberry, rasberry, etc) even the thornless ones! tend to try to sprawl, so for me are best confined to an area with a trellis or fence, so i can keep them out of my way- but upright growing bushes require once a year maintenance and can be put close to a pathway without too much hassle (yes i planted my spreading rose far too close to the sidewalk)

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Aw thanks I appreciate that

[@NatashaStevensSattin]

Fantastic. Thank you!

[@pongop]

Awesome video! This is great and exciting to me. Thank you so much!

I’ve been gardening for about 10 years but only in the past few years have I really been trying to develop the landscape of what was almost a blank slate of a yard and your videos are so helpful. It’s nice to see the patterns I’ve been noticing in my preferences put into words and list form so I can lean into the elements I want. My house/yard came with some pretty traditional-style hardscaping and I like some swaths of green lawn (clover and grass) with a cleanly defined edge, but I like a bit more color and a looser style in the actual beds. Realizing that my style and what is already in place is a mix of traditional and cottage has really helped me from getting overwhelmed with the abundance of choice when it comes to plant selection and placement.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

That's awesome! Nice to be able to put words into what you want. I find it super helpful too 😊

[@zaleinakartick9942]

This is amazingly helpful - thank you!

[@AmandaScarcella]

I’m straight up binging all your content. Love your channel!

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Lol thank you so much 😊

[@debbydoodler33]

That photo you shared of the first "mixed" style is one of the ones I selected years ago as inspiration for the look I wanted! I was also inspired by New York's highline. I have a 1960s bungalow and lots of clean, sharp angles on my property but want to mix in softness with lots of grasses and prairie plantings. I have also been working on a mini-orchard in my backyard based on permaculture principles.

[@ivy19958]

What I love most is the mix between cottage ando tradicional. The hardscape anda flowers of cottage and focal points and boj of a tradicional one.

[@ivy19958]

I really loved this vídeo. Very beautiful images and very clear explanations. Like your channel so much. Thank You! Regards from Argentina.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@luckysmummy5325]

Excellent video, thankyou. I found the sliding scale really helpful, not come across that before.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Glad it helped. I made it up so that's probably why you've never heard it before.

[@karinadsouza4929]

Very informative video! I'm into cottage style

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Me too 😍

[@rabbitgregory9289]

I like walkways that are wide enough and smooth enough to easily accommodate large trash barrels, wheelbarrows and wheelchairs-as well as bare feet. I also like pathways that are smooth enough to easily sweep and remove leaves and dirt.

[@ktekharu]

Such helpful information - thank you! Subscribed!

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Awesome! Thanks for subscribing 😊

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

Wow! I love this video❤. I love the wide color palette of cottage gardens, but I like the structure, harmony, and order of traditional gardens. I can totally see both styles in the way I designed my front garden. Thank you for spelling this out. It helps me plan better for my backyard garden❤

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Love hearing this. So glad it was helpful!

[@karlhalvorson]

When I dream of transforming my garden I am drawn towards the look and feel of Japanese gardens. I wonder what style Japanese gardens fall under or perhaps they are a style of their own.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Usually a pretty limited plant and color palette, which would be modern. But you can always mix different elements of styles together. There's tons of info about garden styles on my website at prettypurpledoor.com/garden-styles

[@alisontaylor2746]

Love your video, thank you so much. I know it’s Cottage for me. Best regards and success to you.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Thanks so much! 😊 Cottage for me too 🌸

[@KimaHolland55]

This is a very helpfull video. I learn a lot from it and I have subscribed. Hope there will be another seminar soon on garden styles from this smart lady !

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

So nice of you

[@SuzanneDoyle-i6q]

At 6:09, where is the picture on the right from? Wondering why type of trees and how to get the balance.

[@karinadsouza4929]

14:43 kindly let me know what are those beautiful candlelike white flowers?

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

I don't know exactly. My guess is larkspur, foxglove, snapdragon, lupine. Lots of flowers that look similar to that.

[@dianadickerson555]

I am definitely cottage and traditional

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Yes I'm a mix of both too 😊

[@rimuruslime23]

I would love to know if there is any tropical style in between cottage and traditional 😅

[@SusanMackey-ud7zp]

I have a shady yard, could you address creating a shade to part shade garden?

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

There are lots of videos on my channel with shade plants. Or look up woodland gardens here prettypurpledoor.com/garden-styles

[@carabarrentine5180]

I just started seeing your videos which are incredibly helpful. I do have a question about dividing sedum. Can you divide year round? Can you divide before they bloom? Thanks in advanced and look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

I have a video about dividing sedum that you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKC2XqyIiLJgqKM

[@jonathandrummond8313]

We have a typical suburban rectangular property with a 6ft wooden fence with a slightly curving perennial border garden? Would that be it's own style?

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Sounds traditional... What style do you want it to be?

[@jonathandrummond8313]

@@PrettyPurpleDoor We're generally happy where it is now :) , just waiting for our shrubs and flowers to grow and fill in the gaps. Our goal is a perennial border, similar to a cottage garden in flower types (daylilies, peonies, irises, stonecrop, hosta etc etc) just less 'cluttered' with plantings in slightly more distinct 'clumps'. Love the channel

[@neldahargo5933]

my style is (a place to put my plant collection)/ It needs a little editing

[@praisingirl]

Aha! I am traditional /rustic

[@pardwayne]

Natural gardens - LEAST MAINTAINENCE REQUIRED Cottage garden - LEAST UNUSED SPACE Contemporary residential garden - LEAST PLANNING INVOLVED Modern commercial garden - LEAST NATURAL BEAUTY Traditional garden - LEAST OF NOTHING; MOST OF EVERYTHING

[@marylynnhaynes7558]

There’s no audio😔

[@karinadsouza4929]

There is. Maybe try again?

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

There is definitely audio. It seems like there's a slight problem with one of the audio channels. So if you are only using one earbud that might be why. Sorry about that.
