✨Show Me Your Gardens!✨ ZONE 4 :: Zone 4 Garden Tours :: What Plants Work and What Don't!

[@HostaandLilyGarden]

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share my garden!😊 yes the fence was put there to keep rabbits out. My neighbor across my house loves the view from her house and enjoys my garden.

[@themainer1267]

Thank you, so much for, showing my garden in your video and for your kind words. I feel honored it was included with all the amazing photos and videos representing our zone 4. Yes, the window and shutters are mounted on my fence. There are loads of free rocks in this state, so I put them to use in my landscaping. I'm really enjoying this share-your-garden project. Hope you're healing well.

[@melodykaufer5696]

Loved seeing your garden! I put up a wrought iron frame on mine, unfortunately it blends in. If Janey puts up one, i think she should skip the shutters and put Bougavilla in pots an both sides. The white bench would look sweet with it.

[@themainer1267]

Gosh, thank you. I bet yours looks terrific. I agree that Janey's new white bench would look sweet that way. She could keep the vignette she started in her previous garden using those blue and white pots.@@melodykaufer5696

[@carolyost6733]

These zone garden videos are so fun. Thank you for doing this. Robbie had on his Wyntour Garden hoodie on today. You must be kindred spirits. Winter gardening in zone 5B is dreaming about Spring, dreaming about new life reappearing, thinking what i want to add. Resting up for spring work, and dreaming of warmer days ahead .

Hi Janey, It’s Tony. Thank you for sharing my garden and my water feature. My water feature is an aquascape pondless waterfall. I made the purchase during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to relief my intense work stress (I’m a nurse practitioner) and it definitely helped curb my emotional distress during that time.

[@marybeth4002]

Tony, your garden is beautiful and transcends peace. I can see how it helped you deal with the intense stress during that time. Gardens have a way of healing our souls. Thank you for sharing.

[@marilyncanaday4862]

I’m enjoying these garden tours so much! Thanks to everyone who has contributed.

[@claudycee]

Love this series and how you split it up into zones. Please please ask for urban and balcony gardens too!! I bet there are little treasures out there for us to see 🪴🏡

[@athomewithelisa]

I love looking at all these gardens!

[@AnEmmeni]

From Melbourne Aus here, and finding this series so interesting and amazing how people in these zones manage to have such stunning gardens, with such limited growing seasons. The gardening world is so full of amazing people. Thank you and hope your recovery is going well.

[@Meg-x8p]

Wow! These gardens are absolutely gorgeous. Janey, maybe you could do a video series like this every year. I never want these videos to end. I am getting so many ideas. I could watch them for hours.

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Janey, I know this is too much to ask but it sure would be great to have these type of series each season! 🥰🌸🇨🇦 You show so much of Canadian content which I really do appreciate for reality for my gardening zone 5!

[@SunshineGarden-9B]

Amazing and inspiring gardens!! Thanks everyone for sharing 😀

[@marybeth4002]

I am enjoying this series as I love to see what other gardeners are growing in other parts of the country... and beyond!❤ I am a new viewer by way of Jim Putnam whom I discovered early pandemic. These entries are all beautiful and creative - thank you, everyone.

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Janey, I absolutely love how you are connecting all of us gardeners - great learning and sharing ! It’s so refreshing to hear directly from the gardeners themselves! Thank you Janey, and to all who submitted! 🥰🌸❤️🇨🇦

[@reneeswallow2023]

Love these zone videos! Amazed at what can be grown in zones 3 & 4 (Im live in 5b). I name my gardens too. My favorite is my prayer garden. Much like your secret garden it is mostly shade. My newest garden is the Memory garden. Plants that have been given to me our remind me of a loved ones garden. You bring such wonderful info and ideas. Thank you!

[@rosemarythyme6351]

I'm enjoying the Zone Series, Janie! Speaking as another Zone 4 Minnesotan gardener, the shorter growing season fits us fine. (Well me anyway.) We enjoy all four seasons, and honestly by the time a killing frost hits, a lot of zone 4 gardeners are ready to put everything to bed for the winter. That includes insulating roses and hydrangeas with leaves and mulch, covering tender perennials with rose cones, and fencing to protect shrubs from rabbit and deer. I remember a mild autumn some years ago when Cosmos was still blooming at Halloween and I was sick and tired of gardening already. I thought to myself, how do warmer zoned gardeners do it?! 👀Actually, we are having a very mild autumn this year. Temps in the 50's and might hit 60 this week. We had one snowfall, west of the Cities, but it quickly melted and the temps were mild again. One plant we can easily grow in zone 4 is Rhubarb. 😉

[@maryferguson6586]

You said it perfectly. Those of us who live with four distinct seasons always seem ready for one season to end and another to start. I think I would burn out if I gardened 12 months of the year. I love the dreaming and planning season of winter. Good thing I live where I live,southern Michigan.

[@Flowers-g5t]

Janey, thanks for this gardening series!!! So many beautiful garden inspirations! Get better soon ❤

[@carissasgarden]

Thank YOU! Such a fun video to be a part of and nice to see inspiration from other gardeners 👩‍🌾🌿🌼

[@vickieschipper3526]

I have a answer for the gardeners or non gardeners who have struggled with brown spots where female dogs have pee peeed. This has a track record of 100% in the history of my suggestions. That is to give your dog a couple tablespoons daily of tomaito juice or V8, ee or ect. If you have male dogs they may appreciate having the same"treat". My daughter fills a water bottle with a flilp top and keeps it in the refrigerator. How easy and how great to elmiate those brown lawn spots. Great tip to help so many people!!!

[@barbaracole4314]

Kinda cool looking at others garden , lots of Canadian and Minnesota too , Janey your popular all around the country and beyond, amazing how far you reach ppl.

[@JRP58]

Great video, Janey. It’s inspiring to see other gardeners overcoming challenges in their areas.

[@pat9604]

Thank you, Janey! Fun to see what others do in their zones.

[@cath.lamontagne5357]

I live in zone 4b...this is so inspiring! Will binge-watch all the zone 3 and zone 4 gardens. Thank you so much!

[@tlcgarden2300]

So many talented gardeners! I love this series. I love the window on the fence, too. Thanks Janey! 🌻M

[@Knitting-Flower]

Maybe a good advice for other Zones from Zones 3-4. is to not clear all the leaves away as they work as a buffer for snow and insulation for cold. Especially around zone pushing plants it‘s the cheap but efficient way. It’s winter - if snow is falling in your area don’t worry if it looks ugly you won’t see it then. Remove it in spring. In Germany we add a layer of Pine branches to buffer the tender roses - it’s the neater but more expensive option. (You get them around Christmas time as cut offs from the Advent decorations.)

[@zoreslavazinczenko1060]

TRULY enjoying these zonal videos!! Wow! AMAzing which flowers they can grow in the lower zones! So happy for them!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Looking forward to the rest of your serie!. Wonderful that you can enlighten us with this series with you being laid-up. Thanks so much! You are appreciated and loved!! And a speedy recovery, Janey!

[@nancypatterson374]

Love seeing how other gardeners around the world grow their gardens ❤

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

These zone 4 gardens are so very beautiful, actually zone 3 was beautiful also. Thank you everyone for sharing your gardens with us. Janey this was a great idea showing zone to zone, im getting some great idea's. I'm in zone 6b sometimes 7a. I love all your video's. You and Laura and Jenny and Michelle and Heidi plus Robbie, are my very favorites. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@catacombcatholic5571]

My neighbours who love hibiscus grow Rose of Sharon in their Zone 4 gardens. THANK YOU to all contributors! I am new to Zone 4b gardening, and am making notes!

[@karen-ep8ou]

I love these gardens. Everyone of them. Thanks for doing such an awesome job!

[@eileenhugelier4095]

Love that window on the fence. I also have fake windows on my house with racks for flowers or coleus. The effect is sweet!

[@dkarlson65]

Thanks for sharing these gardens and tips... great community work! I live in upstate NY snd really appreciate the similarities and differences between these gardens. It's helpful to hear that our challenges (rabbits this year! and deer, changing weather patterns) are not unique and helpful to hear what DOES thrive in Zone 4 gardens as we plan to add to our various gardens.

[@Mitzi.B]

I’m really enjoying this series. 🤍

[@priscillalacy1930]

That butterfly bench is gorgeous

[@CarissaWyles]

If you do a window on the fence put a mirror behind it in the frame! DaintyDiaries from Ireland has a channel where she upcycled some old windows by adding a mirror (the real mirror was too heavy, I think she ended with mirror vinyl or something like that). It looked amazing in her garden! Like a window to a secret garden ❤

[@margaretl579]

Fyi, just make sure the mirror won't get sun, especially, in hot areas.

[@KimatRevAcres]

Wonderful zone 4 video love all the inspiration from my Canada and Minnesota neighbors. Our flower beds are going to sleep for the winter but we can dream about new projects this spring. Thank you

[@RosaPerez-ce9dv]

Oh my God Janey im having so much fun with all this gardens ideas.Love you for that big hug!I get bored easily with others videos but not with yours.😊

[@cindyprice546]

Hi Janey! I am loving seeing everyone’s gardens. They are all so pretty!! This was such a great idea!I don’t have a big garden (mostly pots) but the flowers I grow in them are so pretty and make me happy. I have such a problem with deer, squirrels, rabbits and ground hogs. So frustrating. Zone 7B

[@adrianamorrison8743]

I also have 4 small pained windows that are 75 yrs old as a garden interested on my shed thats designed to look like a cottage, thanks Jamie, this is great!

[@deemckinney1486]

Love love these gardens and your positiveness Janey..SUCH AN INSPIRING PERSON YOU ARE❤

[@malindamiller845]

Loved that window! I love to repurpose items in my garden! I’d love to see a video of items people repurposed throughout their garden!

[@smedgirl1]

Love this idea, please do this again. Loving the inspiration. Wonderful idea about the window on the fence. Its gorgeous but begging for a window box.

[@GladysGladiolusgarden]

Every garden is beautiful even with the snow .

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey🌺 .Wonderful videos for these pretty gardens of zone 4 . Have alovely day .🌻🌺🌻

[@SusiesGardenOasis]

Oh my gosh i have been on the hunt for zone 4 gardener’s with KZbin so I appreciate this so much!!! I know minneapolis/st Paul gardens get more rain than i do but it’s fun to see what could be possible.

[@janesestearns9918]

I’m in zone 3 northern MN, I planted an Amur flame maple in my yard a couple of summers ago and it is doing fabulous! My understanding is that it is a Japanese variety. Only con is that the deer love! It is an uphill battle but worth it, as it is beautiful… and well pruned haha😂

[@ShereeSchattenmann]

Beautiful zone 4 garden! I also garden in zone 4. Short season but we are able to grow so much! Happy growing.

[@tinafuller3086]

Beautiful gardens! Loved the window, also! I thought it was a shed, also! lol

[@donaldmcavoy5712]

Hummingbirds love the lamb's ear blooms.

[@scout838]

[@lindabenford7134]

I love the window on the fence ❤😂 I’m doing it too!

[@nicolegolczynski]

Janey I found your channel by watching Garden Answers video. I love gardeners supporting other other gardeners!!

[@paulineewert7492]

Zone 4 here. Thanks for a great video!!

[@jeannesmith1761]

[@MariePotsPlants]

[@teresaortiz9902]

Loving these zone videos! Anxiously waiting for zone 8. 💚

[@AdrienneZader]

I am love, love, loving your videos on zones this week. I live in zone 5a and it's refreshing to see zone 3,4 5,and 6 gardens. Thanks for this series.

[@lananicolas160]

So beautiful. What a difference the trees make

[@ptwnbratche]

Great idea to feature gardens by zone. Thanks so much ! I’m in 7a and always like knowing where the boundaries are ( so I can test them)

[@MsDisnyfan]

loving this series!!!!

[@JermaineGertse]

I cant wait until we get to zone 10. I want to see what they do. I struggle growing stuff in the heat

[@mypreciousgarden]

Sorry I don't have time to develop but loved these and loved the idea of the window in/on the fence ! And too bad I didn't take time to send you photos/videos of my 8B garden !

[@pragmatic111]

Butterfly bush grows in 4b but it gets mildew easy and spreds quickly.

[@GroversGardenLand123]

I am loving all the gardens people have submitted. I am in zone 4 also and love to see what everyone else has for ideas! I am going to put a window on all of my fences! I too love that look. Makes me wonder if the window would of had glass in it if that would make the garden look bigger and give you a double look into the garden! Thanks for this fantastic idea of people submitting their gardens. Have a great day, Janey!

[@phyllisperryman7957]

Love seeing all the pretty gardens. Lots of ideas we can use in our gardens. Love the rock garden😊. This is fun. My garden is all brown now we had a very bad cold spell come threw all I have for color is my pretty evergreens .

[@bettypisiakowski2148]

What a wonderful series your doing., genius

[@cdelaney5047]

Sorry for your injury but wow getting to see other gardens has really been a wonderful time spent and m I’m at revisit while I plan updates to my spring garddn

[@marianhintz9981]

Thanks Janet great idea, pretty gardens!!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Excellent , love these gardens.

[@GardeningPeacefulLivingNH]

Thank you Janey for sharing all these gardens with us. So much inspiration! I totally missed the boat on this one. I garden in zone 5, and would have loved to be included in your upcoming video, but I am too late to the party. It is so much fun seeing all the different gardens in zones that are different than ours.

[@debbiek1699]

I am loving this series and feel so inspired. ❤

[@gracefulgrowing144]

They are all so beautiful and I am also going to copy the window on the fence.❤❤

[@debrasherron2843]

Great inspiration

[@natasha1369]

I am from Ottawa Canada and the lady that said she was a zone four. we used to be a zone four but we are now a zone five. I can get butterfly bushes at our local Home Depot and other nurseries. If you can get it at your nursery, usually that means they are meant for your zoning. But I have to say some years. I wonder if we’re still four depending on the type of winter we have. Some years some plants just don’t come back and it could be that they are zone five and that is why.

[@jenkons5563]

I actually saw someone on Instagram paint their grass for an event at their home when it was looking rough! I don’t know how safe it is tho!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Janey. 🦃🍁🍂💚🙃

[@margaretl579]

I'm in 9b and inherited a bougainvillea. It's probably 20 years old. My neighbor also has a huge one. Both are close to the house so maybe that's why they've done well here.

[@lisagoggin8021]

I would love to learn more about sunset zones….

[@sheilastromberger2275]

She has an entire video about it, maybe from a year ago. You can search YT for it.

[@marleneegan-hm7lr]

Is it still possible to send in photos for zone 9?

[@joannejensen4369]

They are all so amazing.🤗🇨🇦 Loving this series.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful gardens 🥰🥰

[@rhondafisher72]

Wow, great gardens everyone.

[@deborahcarson5927]

I can’t help looking at the daffodil bulbs,and wondering who is going to help you plant them. I would love to help but I am in Michigan. ❤️🌷🌷🌷”oh, Jason” 😁hehe

[@78rwinn]

Is your hoodie from Wyntour in Redding? Just moved to SD so I’m looking for zone 4 videos, used to buy all my plants at wyntours

[@patl.4170]

Really really enjoy these segments. Something you should consider keeping even when you are up and about. Would also give you a break from coming up with content which I’m sure can be taxing. I am in central Florida and I’m curious to see if you have any submittals from my area. I have searched you tube but with exception of food gardening and native gardening, there is not much out there in the way of flower/shrub gardening in my area. I have recently started to garden so I need all the help I can get. 💐🌻🌹

[@yesidtac7863]

Muy buenos dias

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Crazy me watched mule deer my purple coneflower. 😊 Silly me.😊

[@Gardeningathelake]

Nice to see the diffrent gardens, perhaps shorten the intro to fit more picture time, and dont spilt the screen of pictures and you talking, the kamloops garden took up half this video, I'd rather see more pictures with short descriptions, just my personal opinions, beautiful gardens!! ❤

[@hotmessfarm]

I am in zone 8b, is it too late to submit pics?
