Shade Container Inspiration 🌿// Garden Answer

[@lindacacioppo9665]

Love that you used a fern in planter and under planted it too. So colorful and eye catching

[@kriistiina111590]

I am so in love with this. Before I found your channel I used to be so upset that my property is all shade. Now you give me great ideas thank you .

[@julieannabaca5403]

So beautiful .. a very unkind person told me a few days ago why do I waste my time on my projects they will eventually die off ..it really saddened me that it's not always about the aesthetics it's about the journey, the project , the closeness to the creator, the accomplishments the failures, the victories.. that's why I watch your channel you want to express YOU. .. it's our life and how we express it is ours alone .. and I so get that in you .. and THAT is why I love your channel, your accomplishments , your passion .. thank you again ..some folks just don't get it I guess ..🤔

[@severenkoski856]

I am an enormous fan of Impatients, especially for containers on my shaded porches. I do not crowd them in a container as I do other annuals. Maybe that is the secret! I was thrilled when my local garden center had the Impatients from PW. I never thought of using them in the landscaping. I wish you the best of luck with these this season! 🌱❤

[@dianeswilliams3168]

Can you explain how you would winter over the fern and the ivy? I have similar containers and am wondering what I will do when my zone 6 winter hits! ❄️ 🥶

[@paulag.panzermd8239]

I think that color combination is FANTASTIC. The red tones work, in part, because the fern is so big and so much lighter.

[@jamielandis4606]

So glad to see a pro gardener goof up. Makes me realize I’m not so different than a pro. All it takes to garden is heart!

[@freyaegrey]

Ostrich ferns spread quickly for some people and more slowly for others. They’re super common around here in Minnesota and in northern Minnesota. I just planted some I got from a neighbor yesterday.

[@locofinchaviary]

I officially have watched all your videos.... More then once. My favorite part of youtube is Laura

[@marilynruggeberg]

I Love the Double Impatiens. I think they look like miniature roses. Beautiful container.

[@pixystixr4me]

I just bought a hosta from a local woman and an ostrich fern had roots inside of the hosta's rootball, so I ended up scoring big time! I planted mine in the landscape (zone 7b). This is my first year with a larger shaded garden, and your channel is a super inspiration. Thank you!

[@paulinewqi]

Yes...another big urn planting.....watching your pot planting videos daily is almost like following the TV sitcoms/drama series... But your videos are distressing and always so sparkling and joyful... Thanks so much for sharing....

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I’m such a fern loving person and this one is beautiful! The contrast of foliage with pops of COLOR is perfect in this pot, makes me think of Aaron. 😊

[@truebluedaphne9411]

🦋The fern is spectacular. The warm floral compliment and ivy is perfect. A violet flower accent with the ivy and fern would be pretty too. Whether it’s cool or warm, you created container perfection that can go from now to next season and even beyond. It’s all about the fern🌿. Smart planting! 🦋

[@cherygreer9884]

Oh my gosh..I have recently found your channel and it is a game changer for me...I want to redo everything I have done to date. You are so inspiring and am learning so much...you and your mom are a flipping riot ( I saw the two of you trying to back up the truck for the trailer) I laughed so hard, my husband came in to check on me. I look forward to all of your videos. Thank you for the inspiration and education....off to buy bug and slug " food" for my any issues.

[@pamketron]

That fern is gorgeous. Love the orange inpatients with it and the ivy. Going to look beautiful on the porch.

[@tarastarz6797]

Hi Laura. I wish I was your neighbor. To get that spectacular view very day of your garden. It is so very beautiful and I love colorful blooms. I am from Trinidad, in the sunny Caribbean. We have rain and sunshine weather conditions. God bless you and your family. Thanks very much for all the information and inspirational detailed instructions. Have a blessed day.

[@joeyb8918]

That arrangement is super gorgeous..the fern green and the impatient colour pairs up perfectly..love it Laura

[@laurahorace9939]

The grass and willow look like such a cool feeling area to enjoy.

[@lurveit]

Red is definitely a main colour theme this year and I'm here for it! 😁🌹

[@bloomsflowerslovers4080]

I love how you choose different plants to put it together ❤❤

[@themontephone875]

Lol. I was just window shopping early this morning @nursery...I was looking to create SHADE potted whatever (not a green thumber..lol)...and here you are! T y! I needed this. Lol

[@luckaty]

Beautiful pot, loved the plant choice combination, I’m marveling over how gorgeously green and lush the background is in this video with the swaying weeping willow and the deep thick carpet of grass in the image, so inviting and wonderful, you never cease to amaze me with how well done your videos are and how much information is packed into each episode, both with verbal content, links and pure happy sharing! Great job Laura and Aaron!

[@sarahmarti141]

Oh my goodness that’s beautiful. I have to say this is one of my favorite containers you’ve ever done.

[@cathypurnell9331]

There's such pleasure watching a plant grow , very satisfying, you get a sense of accomplishment. Gardening can be soooo relaxing, I love growing plants. Try gardening a wonderful hobby.

[@annad1921]

Could you please do an outdoor succulent arrangement? Love this channel!

[@johnsonDonna]

I just transplanted 29 ferns from my Mom's garden into my wooded area.. I didn't think about putting one in an empty large cement pot I have. Luckily there's 3 she still wants to get rid of I'll get on Labor day. Yea! Thank you Laura! We're thrilled to finally see each other in the yard where we don't have to wear masks. Have a great holiday weekend you guys. Garden love from Palatine, Illinois - Donna

[@LaurieEggleston37]

I love this! Living in WA State near Puget Sound, we just don't get much sunlight in our garden. I have so many naturally occurring ferns and could translate your container recipe to our landscape easily! I was looking at Impatiens because we are suffering through "May Winter" here...ugh. I look forward to your videos and thank you so much for all of your great ideas!

[@sandrafreeman9513]

Love, love, love the arrangement! OMG that fern is beautiful!!! ❤

[@janined8685]

Hi Laura, This shade plant pairing is one of my favorites, but quite possibly I think that about most, if not all, of your arrangements😊. I particularly like how gracefully and gently the fern and ivy move in the breeze. This is the year you’re going to have success growing impatiens! 🏆After you gave us the tour of your parents’ garden center, I checked to see if our local nurseries have this fern, since we’re a zone 4. They only had the type that were next to these (in the garden center video) and they didn’t have the same appeal as this vibrant variety. This is a stunner! Well done!

[@lindak7499]

That fern is lovely and already could be split as there were new offshoots that could be pulled out. Great money saver when you find a plant like that. Thanks

[@jillcochran9794]

I love those days, where I have beautiful plants all around me, a lovely pot, and fresh soil between my fingers. That fern is to die for btw!

[@dianeruesch8655]

fern lover here...you love to garden without gloves. me too! i know you mostly dig in fluffy yummy espoma potting mix or your gorgeous oregon soil but if you try this tip you can save a whole bunch of time cleaning underneath your nails at day's end. Tip: carry a bar of soap in your garden tool arsenal and give is a good deep fingernail scratch to pack the soap flakes under the tips of your nails then soil has nowhere to cling to

[@birchmoonfarm101]

We are lucky enough to have ferns all over our property here in Vermont. LOVE the fern in this pot, so going to go dig up some ferns from our forest and do the same thing. Thanks Laura!

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

Beautiful and classic! I don't think I'll ever plant an ostrich fern in the landscape in my area. They are so invasive and I don't need to add "digging out ferns" to my chore list every year. I do love a beautiful fern glen in a woodland area, though!

[@vikkib6983]

So these shade containers are beautiful. To say that Ostrich Fern can be invasive is an understatement. I love them but in my zone 8 garden they were such a bully so, and here's a joke, give them plenty of room! You, Aaron and Benjamin are a bright spot in my quarantine day. I'm looking forward to seeing the containers in their new home.

[@candiesmith4329]

These rich colored containers you have planted lately, are gorgeous. Adds a real depth to those areas.❤️

[@A777-v8m]

This arrangement is absolutely gorgeous! I have never really liked ferns but WOW! I think my mind might’ve just changed.😍

[@margyonemitsuyonemitsu3959]

Oh my gosh that container is absolutely beautiful I love the combination of the flowers the colours is beautiful one of my favourites excellent

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Wow that is a beautiful arrangement! I love Ostrich ferns and have several. They are very dramatic in their growth habit. If they love their home, they grow to 6' and do spread.

[@julieannabaca5403]

I have 5 that have had for a very long I'm zone 9b and they have thrived from day 1 ..just a little tid bit that many of times some plants will thrive in zones not believed they would ..they Are beautiful....I love allllllll your projects ..thank you so much..by the way these ferns get huge ..I absolutely love that combination of colors ..very very pretty

[@annebrody2371]

Hi Laura, This fern is a gorgeous one........but watch out it spreads by runners fast! Everywhere! But the good thing is they pull up super easy. I have many in my landscape. I live in Vancouver,BC (zone8)I have also passed several on to novice gardener family members and they are thriving. They can take afternoon sun, but lose the vibrant lime green, and become a little washed out. But one of the most beautiful aspects of this particular fern are the fiddleheads in the spring.. they are very upright, vase shaped and regal. I cut off some of the lower branches to keep the vase shape. Otherwise they are huge. A stunner!,

[@themontephone875]

....look! The grass lot is a perfect natural backdrop for your potted segments... Glad you liked the suggestion...like someone’s favorite word to describe ...”colors POP”

[@kristinaswanson6966]

Awesome inspiration! Love how long you can use the fern. Colors look so nice together! 🍀

[@juliemarriott7395]

We had loads of those ferns frowing in our old garden and we transplanted 6 into pots when we moved and now have them in our new garden. I love the stature and prehistoric feel of them.

[@nancyhoskins197]

This arrangement and fern are absolutely stunning! Great selection!

[@robynknits]

Gorgeous! Love the combination with the Ostrich fern in the centre

[@Nana-wp6gt]

Good morning Laura & family. What a beautiful container arrangement. I absolutely LOVE that fern. Unfortunately, the only shady area I have, where I can put one, would be in my back yard along the foundation and then I would hardly ever see it. But that's the only area I have shade. Take care and be safe. 💝

[@bobd6965]

Lady, you're literally changing my life (and property) as we speak!

[@dianemummvideos]

pretty combination and great you can pop that fern out if you choose and plant in the garden in the fall... that ostrich fern has some age on it , my it is big.. ❤

[@corinnemontgomery8325]

I absolutely love the color combination. Once again a magnificent outcome!!

[@barbaralewis1382]

With large planters can I use mulch to cut down on the potting soil?

[@jmac4313]

That is one of the prettiest arrangements I've seen! Man, if nurseries could make planters like this, they'd sell like hotcakes.

[@tiavalenko1715]

My friend, you really inspire me. Thank you!

[@Daymickey]

Wow. I don't really recall seeing her using non PW plants until today. I LOVE that fern and will DEFINITELY be adding something similar to my shade garden.

[@primrose1956]

I'm so much inspired with your gardening skills. Your garden is a wonder. 😊

[@maryroberts8566]

Love these shade pots.And I like the very good choices

[@christafarmlife4246]

Aaron must be loving all the bright colors you’ve been planting lately!

[@marjoriebeardslee3853]

Perfect timing. A friend just gave me those ferns and I have a shade porch so I am going to do your arrangement. Those urns look like concrete. Inspiring!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura! That turned out really pretty. Can't wait to see them on your porch. Thank you for sharing!

[@boogiegirl4276]

This container is absolutely beautiful. I love and enjoy your channel. Thank you for posting a link and the name of the products you are using. I think they are a good choice because they are organic, the very best. Have a su shiny day, until I see you again.

[@kimimep8413]

Exactly what I needed. Two font door shade plant arrangements. Yay!

[@Elizabeth45840]

I Absolutely Love the fern. Have you ever thought about doing a video on how you do your weekly fertilizing. I would find it very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge with us.

[@bettywhite1705]

I have used impatiens as borders for my big curvy flowerbeds for years and they were gorgeous and then about 3 years ago I couldn't keep them alive to save me! Friends have said they had the same issue. But they are a beautiful shade plant for sure!

[@wandaarganbright4056]

I think this one is my favorite container this year! Well done Laura.

[@ASH-kj9xt]

Love this shade combination. The fern is beautiful! I really need to get my shade containers done, so thank you for the inspiration! Hope y’all have a great weekend! 🙌💚🌿🌿

[@mirandaefg]

It a pretty combination! This year we planted ferns in our front porch plants too!

[@lakemarygardens]

That is beautiful! I love the contrast of all the brilliant colors next to the dark pot.

[@cherigreen4471]

Oh I love this combination! It is just gorgeous! I have ostrich ferns in my back yard next to my house foundation and they drown everything else out. They are so aggressive. Maybe the European are not a problem like mine. By the way I took cuttings last year of a coleus and some impatiens and I am growing them as house plants. The impatiens have been blooming for a month now.

[@cindydunn3036]

The fern is beautiful! I like that the glacier ivy is a perennial and can be used in future seasonal arrangements. 👍🌿 Looking forward to different/gardening projects on the new property.

[@KaydeBrooks]

Hey , Laura I loving the fern and Ivy,not related to the video but I learned how to attract Ladybugs , these plant will coriander,dill, fennel ,caraway yarrow ,tansy , scented geraniums , angelice, coreopsis and cosmos

[@susanwhipple5604]

Love this video! This is the combo I do every year here in western Washington! I have had my ferns year round for 10 years now! Impatient’s do very well here and I just change the color f them and the coleus each year!

[@pinklotus7933]

That is absolutely gorgeous. You make such beautiful pots. I never thought I could pack so many plants in a pot but you have showed that you can and how well they do. Thank you for all you do!❤️

[@christinesmith7391]

One of the best containers so far! I’ve got one of those ferns in the ground it’s about 4 inches tall and has been planted for 3 years, I think I’ll move it into a container!!🤗

[@anitahadley2871]

Gorgeous fern! the impatiens and ivy will do well with it. I think that coleus will become a bully and take away from the fern.

[@lindseywilson6688]

I saw you have bunnies, the bunnies in my yard ate my Impatiens flowers last year! They came back but they had no flowers for awhile. This year I put down Repells All.

[@Plantalogy]

This one looks so dramatic and fabulous!! 👍👍👍

[@judithjohnson2111]

I sure noticed those ferns in the garden center tour & I saw that you loved them too. This container is outstanding. Hope the impatient,s hang in there. So pretty..Q-Can you explain the difference of using biotone & not PW slow release in this pot.thanks.

[@angiehemphill9594]

Love this one! Simple and elegant. I enjoy your videos and learning a lot being a happy gardener. 👩🏻‍🌾

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

OMG!!!! its absolutely spectacular!! Love it, love it!! Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

[@crittergirl3647]

In an old Monty Donn video, when planting monster palms in planters in someone’s garden, knowing they could only be placed once due to weight, he put a matching size empty pot in, packed in the soil around it, removed empty pot, then put in the palms. He had the exact size and placement for the centerpiece. Always loved that tip. Love those monster Ostrich Ferns in our zone 5 containers. Have some young ones I’m growing to completely fill in some big shade planters here. Will be glorious! Also growing out young Godzilla Fern, which are monster tall, but colored like a Painted Fern.

[@plantitude9660]

My favorite planting so far! Love that fern.

[@angelwolfe6728]

I’ve been a mostly container gardener for years and have always been too matcha matches! Seeing the things you do has opened my eyes to the beauty in contrasting! Thank you! I’m having so much more fun! ♥️🌺

[@rebeccawoods4488]

Such a beautiful container! I live in zone seven and I would like to try something similar. When you say “winter over” do you mean you bring the container into your cold frame or do you just leave it outside all winter? Thanks, Laura and Aaron. I love your channel!

[@KlinikSygeplejersken]

The fern does run a bit when planted in the ground but it is easy to control by digging up the plantlets as they surface.We have forrest in Denmark where the ground is covered by these ferns - beautiful.

[@SunshineKK99]

Happy to know I can put my Ferns outside! Yahhhh! 🤩

[@melissastruxness512]

So jealous of your location! I am in 9b and things are so hard to grow in this dry windy heat. You are an inspiration. Fully enjoy your videos!

[@lorapoepping3165]

Someone asked me what my quarantine secret obsession is and it's your videos! I accidentally discovered you and now I am a fan. I even created the Moonglow pot you demo'd. Gorgeous! Your Seattle New Fan :)

[@suzanneh8996]

I love this shade container, so so pretty! I have lived in the Northeast, Southeast and high desert (Boise area). I have grown the most fabulous impatiens in both Eastern homes and they were fabulous. Boise? not so much. The prolonged heat there and in Eastern OR is just not what they love so they really can struggle there. This container will like your porch but still not sure it will love the heat! Good luck!

[@ashleighscott9896]

they don't like south Texas either. I've tried so manny times but they're done by june, geogous for spring tho.

[@laureenstephens1318]

I really enjoy this arrangement I have watched this recording many times. The fern is just magnificent.

[@Anghooeyrhymeswithjulie]

That is a really beautiful container!

[@jodieweiman89]

You’re killing me Smalls! 😂. It’s torture not seeing the second pot! It’s like Big Bang Theory and not finishing the third knock on the door. Hahahaha

[@jackiewolfe299]

The contrast is amazing!! I LOVE this!

[@melness6621]

Fern is gorgeous. Love this one

[@Finnswife3]

I love ferns. One of my all time favorites. We have lots of them at The Cobblestone Cottage.

[@taylerbrendel9434]

Thanks for the video, we are moving from a city lot with barley any trees to an 11 acre fully wooded property and I’m completely lost on what to do there. This helps!

[@danielapagliaro8025]

This arrangement is gorgeous!

[@DCT14]

Laura, this is your year for success with impatient’s. Love this shady combination ❤️

[@cherylvance2785]

I love ferns and just recently had to remove my ostrich ferns due to them spreading all over my garden. I planted one and within one growing season I ended up with 21 new ones. If you don’t have an issue with ferns popping up everywhere you’ll love these. I live in zone 6b and they winterized great. If I were to plant these again I would only do in containers. They will get very big and beautiful.

[@laurenwellman2516]

Just gorgeous! 🥰 I was planning a container for shade with either just a large fern or hosta but now I am going to need to try this! ❤️

[@rosie724]

Finally KZbin is fixed...comment section is back...so glad i can appreciate what you do via comment section again...

[@cathybranly1839]

Your containers always turn out so beautiful!

[@judyingram4846]

It's absolutely do beautiful. The fern just made it.❤️😍❤️
