Creating an Enchanted Back-Yard Garden - From Planning to Maturity

[@iselalopez4553]

I watch a lot of gardening channels but yours is the absolute best because is so relatable to a regular size home/garden space. It is amazing what you and your husband have achieved in an urban space. Please grace us with your beautiful garden more often.Thank you for sharing

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Isela! That is very nice feedback. Although I love going to gardens of all types, I too appreciate seeing other urban residential gardens.We love sharing our garden and I hope to do a spring garden tour...stay tuned!

[@marilyngandy2299]

I was completely thrilled when I saw one of your videos out. I don't know if you follow Laura from Garden Answer, but she has been having people submit their garden before and afters. I immediately thought of you, especially for the category of "skinny sideyards" Now on to watching yours for a second time.

[@RosannesGarden]

Hi Marilyn, I'll check it out. I learned about this great Dalmation Peach Foxglove on Garden Answer. It blooms in the first year from seed. Absolutely stunning and long-blooming. It's so nice that you'd watch the video twice! 🌝🌹🌿

[@mariafolch8067]

Your KZbin channel is one of my favorites of all time. I love every video you put out. Thank you for doing such a detailed and thorough job. I’m going through a backyard redo too and this was so helpful.

[@RosannesGarden]

So excited to see you post a new video! This one is a masterclass in garden design and fundamentals. I so appreciate you sharing how your garden took time to evolve and the ways you adapted to the changes over time. So many wonderful lessons in this video! Your garden theme was executed beautifully. You continue to inspire me and I look forward to seeing more. Thanks, Rosanne! 🙏🪴💚

[@P_Belle]

@melissa - it is, isn't it?

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! That is very generous of you to say. Going through all of our old garden files for pictures through the years was a real trip down memory lane. I also enjoyed seeing the progression, laid out all at once.Glad you appreciated it! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊🌷🌻

[@stephaniepeterson7515]

Roseanne, I was fortunate to lead tours through your garden a few years ago and it was so soothing to visit it again in this video. I love your use of shrubs and smaller trees and it is always reassuring to see how a garden can go from ideas and wish lists to reality, often looking so lovely in just a few years. Can’t wait until our zone 4 thaws and we can both dig in again. Please post more content soon. I always learn some tidbit from you and just love looking at your garden.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Stephanie! It's so great that you found our garden again! It must be the Arb Auxiliary Tour to which you are referring? With Diane S.? Sorry I'm not better at names. Your feedback on our garden's evolution is quite generous; I'm so glad that you appreciate the never-ending journey 🌹. Because today was sunny with fresh snow, I was in the back yard filming this afternoon. You never know when you'll want nice winter-interest film footage. The trees and shrubs are the stars in the winter ❄️🌲. Thanks for commenting and reminding me of our connection 🌞.

[@barbarawitt1049]

Stunning, as always! Thanks for the beautiful show.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Barbara. I appreciate your comment. 🌹

[@willowtreehill19]

I absolutely adore your yard and love your videos! My style is very similar to yours, however my gardens are much, much younger. Seeing your mature landscape gives me wonderful ideas and keeps me wanting to learn more and more. I'm also obsessed with natural stone, so the work your husband has done makes me heart sing. I'm an avid gardener, having dabbled in planting my own shrubs and such since the mid 90's around the couple of homes we lived in, moving on to creating container displays with flowers in the early 2000's (raising 4 busy children didn't leave me much time outside of that) and finally since 2015 after we built our home to grow old in and became empty nesters, I have poured my heart and soul into creating a paradise in our yard. It's because of others like you, that I've gained so much inspiration along the way. Thank you for sharing your lovely gardens with all of us!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Holly! I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel - especially that my videos have helped to inspire you in your gardening journey 😊. It sounds like you have such a great opportunity to create your own special paradise. How exciting! I'm glad to have been a part of it 🌿. I think the act of gardening is just so good for the soul, and the body. I think that gardens themselves are like works of art. Have fun with yours! 🌹🌼🌲

I have to say I love your aesthetic and hope to do something similar in my garden. Thank you for sharing, your garden has given me so many ideas. Its definitely a favorite! Love it!

[@RosannesGarden]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video on how your beautiful landscape and garden plans evolved, from beginning to end. I have watched more recent videos of your garden, and always have loved your selection and placements of everything you have planted there. It truly is fairytale and whimsical, and just lovely to view. This video was a treat, to see the pictures of how bare your property was before you embarked on the transformation of your property. I love seeing the before and after, it's so inspiring. And shows the possibilities when something like this is well planned and executed. 👍😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@karenberkebile8275]

Rosanne, I've so missed your videos this Spring and Summer! I hope you are well. Even though we are in completely different grow zones, I've found much of your information interesting and relevant to what I am hoping to achieve at our new homestead we'll be moving to later this year. Your recollection of the botanical names for your plantings, pleasant voice, and enchanted garden design are a few of my favorite qualities of you and your videos. I hope you and your garden are thriving!

[@RosannesGarden]

Hi! Sorry for the delay in responding! Big things have been happening here - Steve and I have moved to a new home and a new garden. It was difficult to leave the old garden, but it is in good hands. I will be focusing my energy on creating a new garden, which I plan to chronicle on this channel. I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos and hope you will be patient as things settle down. I do plan on publishing a "Farewell Garden Tour" sometime this fall/winter with video from this last summer. Thanks for your lovely note!

Hi Rosanne .. I absolutely loved it and love you both the same. Just so wonderful! Elsie is a happy camper in your stunning, enchanted garden. Its so delightful and inviting, that it should be in a book as well as grace its cover! I would love to join a dinner party. Everyone definitely leaves with a lasting impression of beauty and superb kindness from their hosts! I wouldn't doubt you've seen, but wanted to make mention of the documentary .. "The Gardener" a film about Frank Cabot. It's wonderful too! Hope all is well, and your hair looks great! Hugs 💗

Hi Gina, You've outdone yourself in your flattery 🌝. I've almost finished telling the story of our garden, so am thinking of doing videos tours of some local public and private gardens this summer. Thoughts? Oh, and Frank Cabot's gardens are really spectacular! Steve and I did see the documentary. It was so fun to see each new type of garden. Just when you think it can't get better, there's another new garden. Now I want to re-watch it! Elsie, is now gone. She truly was a great dog.

Hi! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video journey of our garden, and my husbands stonework. It really does "make" the garden. This video project was fun; pouring over old photos and reconstructing the garden in the form of a video during cold, snowy days was very therapeutic 😉.

[@karenorth2668]

This is an excellent video! The detail is amazing and very much appreciated. Specifically, I loved how you showed your plan, labels on your plan, and then how it looks in real life. Seeing the changes over time was also incredibly valuable. I've been gardening for years in a similar zone in Canada. You really opened my eyes to why I would bother with annuals and annual bulbs because you showed exactly what they added to your garden. I'm so grateful to have seen this while it's still early enough to start some seeds and find some bulbs. Educational. Inspiring. Very clear. It's time to rewatch and make notes!

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Canada! Thank you Karen - I'm so glad you appreciated the video! I value the feedback. Sometimes I wonder if I used too many diagrams. But, it's easier to tell the story using them ☺️.

Dear Roseanne , thank you so much for taking us through your process! I am in a spot where you were 15 years ago with an empty space and a long wish list. I wasn’t sure where to start… until I watched your video! Your garden is magical and your heart is beyond generous to share such incredible knowledge with us. Thank you again. One question - you have a lot of evergreen conifers - where do you buy them from and any suggestions on how to manage the budget with them given they can be expensive?

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! That is all very kind of you to say. My husband and I truly enjoy sharing our garden 🌹🌿 and I'm glad you found the video timely and helpful. I'm not sure where you live, but we bought most of our trees from Bachman's in Minneapolis. My tips would be to first plant the trees that will get the largest, fastest. Get impact going. Fill in smaller shrubs or trees later. And, buy smaller/younger trees than you might like. They always cost less. Thank for writing and commenting, Best of luck with your project!

[@AshWP]

@@RosannesGarden Thank you, I am in Philadelphia , zone 7 - all the more reason for me to watch zone 4 garden videos :-). The tips indeed make sense - I started my garden with only perennials last year and they looked weird in front of our 2 storey house.

Another Informative And Inspiring documentary by Roseanne. Thank you so much For the chronology of the Planting selections

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you for your kind words. I'm very glad that you are enjoying my channel! My goal is to educate and inspire people. It's nice to get feedback such as yours :-)

Fantastic and exactly what I needed. I recently moved from On to central Sk and will be making brand new gardens. Can’t wait but it is -32’C today so I will have to!☺️

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Canada! It's cold here too, but not that cold! Brrr. New gardens can be so much fun! I'm glad you found the video helpful. 🌲🌷😊

Rosanne, Hello again from the Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale. Your garden and videos always soothe my soul. What a labor of love. Just beautiful.

[@RosannesGarden]

Yes, hello Beth! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Gardens really do nourish the soul 🌹🌿🌷

Hi Rosanne, new subscriber here from Bloomington, MN. Glad to find someone else who gardens in the same zone as I. Great inspirations and a lovely garden.

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings neighbor! I'm so glad you found my channel! Glad you were inspired. Thanks for watching and subscribing. 🌹

Hi Rosanne! I was thinking about you the other day and here you are, lucky for us. What a beautiful and informative video. You have given me some really great ideas because I am clueless. I have an acre that I am slowly chipping away at. I have two giant Christmas looking trees that are around fifty feet high at least, and approximately thirty or forty feet apart, and are parallel to one another. I love the idea of an island of plants and flowers under and around them. Those trees are spectacular and I hope I have the smarts to pick the right plants. I really love those weeping evergreen spruce looking plants in your yard. Sorry for rambling, but I get so excited when I watch your videos. Have a fantastic weekend and thank you. 💚

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you Mary! I am just so happy that you are enjoying my channel and getting some ideas to help with your own garden. It sounds like you have a great opportunity to really make something special. Not everyone can start out with two spectacular trees! Just create layers, and think diversity in terms of plant structure and foliage texture and color. All the best on your project! 😊🌷🌹🌻🌲

[@maryegerton6848]

@@RosannesGarden thank you so much. I will refer to most of your videos for ideas. And I also appreciate the fact that you label all of your plants so I can go to the nursery and ask for the plant by their proper names.

[@marilyncanaday4862]

I just came across you today on KZbin. Your garden is beyond beautiful! I also just watched the one of your side yard. It is unbelievable. My son lives in Minneapolis. I watch Laura on Garden Answer too. She would love your gardens. Thanks for sharing.❤️🌸🌷🌼

[@RosannesGarden]

Yay! I'm so glad you found my channel and I was able to share our garden with you! I don't do many videos, but I try to make each one special. Make sure you peak at my other videos. I have about 30 total from the last 5 years. Garden Answer is a great channel. Laura has interesting content and an unparalleled amount of energy. 🌞

[@amandakelly8793]

I would love a video with details on your garden party where you had a long table in the garden? I think it will be perfect for me to do and I’d love tips!!

[@RosannesGarden]

Thanks Amanda for that flattering suggestion. I will certainly think about it.

So true. 🙏😊🌷🌹🌻

[@stuartwild2081]

Hi Rosanne. I love looking at your garden and especially the good advice which you give to us novices you have really helped me a lot. Unfortunately I have to say that I am really jealous of the amount of garden area what you have, still beggars can't be choosers so I'm making the most of my little plot here in the North of the UK. I'm a Lilly Lover of all varieties so you have been a great help especially with your Cala Lillies & Roses which I have 31 varieties, also I'm a Bleeding Heart Lover so all in all I'm happy with my lot. Thank You for your lovely Videos from Stuart in Lancashire UK.

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to Lancashire, UK! Thank you Stuart; that is very kind of you to say. I don't really think of our 1/4 acre lot as large, until it's time to weed 😉. Then, it's huge. I love Dicentra also and last year planted Dutchman's Breeches for the first time. They died out quickly and I hope they return this Spring. I'm not so sure, however. It sounds like you have a splendid collection of Roses. Well done! Thanks for your comments and all the best in your gardening endeavors! 🌷🌿🌹

[@leslieh3785]

Beautiful! What a magical garden you have created. Thank you for sharing. Watching your video was a great use of my time-one can’t always say that about KZbin. I am book-marking this to refer to again.

[@RosannesGarden]

Yay, glad you enjoyed it ....enough to book mark it ☺️. Thanks!

[@barbthreinen2628]

Love your garden! I belong to a couple garden clubs and live by Rochester, MN. Was wondering if you give any tours? We all have admired your gardens each season of the year. I think the narrow pathway and the Louisa crab apple, and tulip pathways are just grand. You have a good eye for structure. Oh, also hats off to your husband for his stone work. Great talent.

[@RosannesGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel. And yes, I am so fortunate to have a garden partner that enjoys stonework 😊. Steve and I do open our garden to garden clubs for tours, if the timing works out. If you are interested, please email me at the address for business inquiries on the "About" tab of my channel. Maybe I'll see you this summer!

[@evelyncortez8643]

With a backyard like this, I'd never have to travel again... #sanctuary

[@RosannesGarden]

😉. It is my sanctuary indeed.

[@MsCmsh]

Wow!! Ms Rosannes!! Thank you for sharing your precious designing process and the evolution of your gorgeous garden over the years!! It’s nothing short of amazing eyes and vision of beauty and cohesiveness!! I was sad to see the elm tree bench was gone but I really appreciate the rock bench your crafty husband created and the other stone work he did! What a great team you guys are!! You guys truly have an enchanted garden! I’m only on my second year and I’ve a long way to go with our own garden in south Texas!! I hope my garden in some days in the future will look as harmonious as yours!! Thank you sharing !! 👏👏👏😃

[@RosannesGarden]

Greetings to South Texas! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my channel. My husband and I love sharing our garden, and the process of how we got where we are. Planning and planting and tending a garden is not linear. I hope to convey that in my videos. I think it’s exciting to be so early in the stages of developing your garden. Perhaps you have read in other of my comments, but my husband and I have moved to a new home. That means a new garden as well. I hope to build a new garden, although it will never be as ambitious as our last enchanted garden. Please stay tuned, and I hope my videos will not disappoint. Lastly, my apologies for the very tardy response. There has been a lot going on, but I hope to be back in the gardening business come spring. Have a wonderful 2024!

[@Laurablushing]
