It's not just a garden. It's art. Absolutely stunning. All of it.

[@RosannesGarden]

hello! I must apologize for not responding earlier. I saw your comment and wanted to respond appropriately. I love what you say about gardens as art. I wholeheartedly agree. I think of all art as "food for the soul". I sense a growing movement away from such appreciation in gardens. It seems now gardens must be about food, native plants, bees, etc. Those are all wonderful outcomes, but my goal in gardening has always been about providing food and habitat for wildlife AND to provide beauty...things that make people smile and feel something. Although I try to incorporate native plants, I am not beholding to the concept. What about the beauty of Calla lilies, or Roses? One of the reasons I left our local master gardener program was that it promoted everything about gardening, except creating gardens as art, or food for the soul. I felt like an island. So....your comment struck me in a certain way, and I really appreciated it. Thank you!

[@traciefisher6003]

Love how informative you made this especially for someone just starting out like myself. From the planning to the design, very educational as I am in the beginning stages of laying out a similar area. Your garden is beautiful & I appreciate your video💌

Absolutely Stunning and so well Maintained, Roseanne and Steve 🙌❤️🐢!! Perfect timing to post for others to think of incorporating into their gardens. Your gardens are My Favorite of any I've had the pleasure of seeing! Simply .. ENCHANTING! 🌹 Thank you and nice hearing from you!

[@RosannesGarden]

Hello Gina! Always nice to hear from you! Glad you agree on the timing of the video. I had fun working on it and was shooting for a mid-Feb release, so that's good. It's so much fun to plan and think about the garden, especially when it's so white outside. You are always too kind in your garden flattery...but it's nice to hear 😉. Have a wonderful Spring! 🌹. Steve says "hi".

[@christinahaftmann4065]

Yayyyy Rosanne every time I see your videos pop up, I drop everything!!!!! 😂 I just love your enchanted gardens and they bring me so much joy and inspiration so thank you ❤. Question: at the 2:36 minute, what is that gorgeous tall and super narrow conifer? I think I need one lol. Thank you 🌷🌷🌷. Please post more videos!!!

[@RosannesGarden]

That is so very nice of you to say and think and do! I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying our gardens and this channel 🌞. The tall and narrow conifer is a weeping white spruce (Picea glauca 'Pendula'). I love the look too. I briefly mentioned in the video that we had a Spruce that died, and we replaced it with an Arborvitae. That was the same variety spruce. I think it was getting too much shade. They need full sun, no doubt about it. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🌺

[@ejohnson3131]

Love your videos Rosanne! They’re always a huge inspiration for me. You don’t post new videos very often, but when you do, they’re top quality content. I make myself a cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy while taking notes. Thank you for your hard work and I wish you many blessed years of happy gardening!

I am so thoroughly enjoying this tour of your beautiful luscious enchanted side yard garden design walk through! (And the sights of the rest of your enchanted property). Love the turtle stone in the pathway, that is so whimsical. The colors you have used there are stunning. Especially the white flowering plants, they truly shine and "pop". This is a work of art, and I appreciate you sharing it's evolution and progress. It's just stunning, and the little bunny 🐇 running on the path was epic fairytale! I would absolutely be spending my time outside there, more than inside! more. Thanks for sharing this wonderful exploration of garden design and beauty.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Suzanne! I am just so pleased that you enjoyed the garden transformation. I sure agree with you about white flowers; they are often underappreciated, but serve a real aesthetic purpose. I use white calla lilies throughout our garden for the same reason. Glad you like the real life bunny. We have lots! 🙂🐢 🌷🌼🌿

[@bherrera1915]

This video was such a joy to watch! I'm new to gardening & I had no idea it's even possible my narrow side yard could look/feel so lush & private. Thank you for including the measurements & blueprint. It's so helpful!

Hello! Yay! I'm glad to be of help on cold damp day. I hope you watched it with a hot cup of tea or coffee! I hope your plants will be OK too. We've had a ton of snow, but not too many days below zero. So, I'm feeling OK about plants here 🤞

Thanks to you I can enjoy wonderful floral combinations and dream-like sceneries. Thank you ! What a lovely job you and your husband have done ! Such a shame the big tree got cut off but it was for the greater good.

Your garden is absolute magic and I wish I could see it in person. But I’ll just have to enjoy it here! Thanks for the detailed tour! I especially Love how the path meanders and leads to that lovely turtle stepping stone!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Heather! I'm so glad the video didn't disappoint! I know what you mean about the meandering path.

Yay! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Wisteria is so beautiful; regular pruning is a necessity, but well worth the effort. Thank you for the kind words and all the best with your new home and garden. It's an exciting time...I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

[@hollyashton7009]

You’ve explained & shown everything in such easy to follow & thoughtful detail. Thank you!! I’ve often found it difficult to understand how to layer a garden properly. This helped tremendously. Plus seeing the plants added to your diagram as you planted. Much thanks & what a gorgeous space. Enchanted indeed!

Nice to see you back Rosanne. I've been gardening on my property for over 30 years. Unfortunately I didn't keep track of it's progression. I have a cottage garden style with perennial borders. My garden is getting shadier as it has gotten older. I have the William Baffin rose too. Can't wait to see what you have planned for this year. Bonny zone 5b Canada

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Canada! Thank you Bonnie! One of the things I liked doing about this video was looking through old photos, although I wish I had more. I was actually surprised with some of the pictures. Sad how time flies. 30 years is a mature garden indeed; it sounds lovely. 🌿

Yes, three things make this garden tour fun! First the contrasts of greens yellows, reds, purples, pinks and so many varieties, second the slimplicity of placement! Thirdly (if that's a word) your delivery. It's like so easy the way you talk about your decision making process! It's like a poem but with the experience that comes with trial and error. Thank you.

Thank you! That is so very kind of you to say. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, and the multiple aspects of it, including the presentation. My husband and I have moved to a new garden, so you will be seeing different videos for me in the future as I build yet another garden. Please be patient, and stay tuned as our move has been very time-consuming. I hope to publish one final farewell tour of our existing garden that I filmed a few weeks ago. Thank you again for watching and commenting.

Hello Corey and thank you! Although I have not broadcast it, I have mentioned in several comments that my husband and I have moved to a new house and a new, almost non-existent garden. The move was the right time for a number of reasons. It was incredibly sad to leave the old garden, but as the saying goes, "when one door shuts, another one opens". I'm thinking of ways to chronicle the creation of our new garden. Stay tuned and thanks for hanging in there!

It worked for another viewer. Through changing settings, I have been able to get subtitles on this video in many languages. This may be different outside of the US, but it’s worth a try if the KZbin icons on the lower right of the screen work the same globally. Hopefully they do, and this technique will be successful for you. I’d be curious if it works. Instructions: On lower right of KZbin video screen, click on the white box “CC” icon. Immediately, you should see subtitles. If the subtitles aren’t in your language, you should be able to change the language. To do so, click on the settings (gear box) icon, then click on “Subtitles/CC”. Click on “Autotranslate”. Scroll to pick your language.

It’s truly exciting to see urban yard-sized landscaping videos. I feel like a tend to see a lot of “small sized gardening makeovers” that are not at all what I would think of as “small.” I’m currently in the process of making over my south facing narrow side yard that looks just like yours (currently mine is much more like the before than after). I want an enveloping, secret garden feel without encroaching on the neighbors too much, so I appreciate this video.
