🌸 Sidewalk Garden Tour 🌸

[@pamelacorsi]

Gardens are never done! So true.

[@joansmith3492]

love this! it has a special something that sets it apart. A mostly native garden that is extraordinary, not a chaotic mess.

[@ydoyougarden]

Aww, thank you! I like this wild look, it’s like walking through a meadow. My neighbors change their walking route just to see it 😊

[@DavidLietz-dp9hr]

Nice!

[@ChestnutGardens]

I absolutely love that you have so many natives mixed in your sidewalk garden. ❤

[@jessicacook8186]

I love the joy in your voice. I can tell you truly love your plants! My blue fortune agastache is really sporadic too. Sometimes it comes back, Sometimes not.

[@ydoyougarden]

Love love plants!

[@nicolamarini]

This is a place to remember as a place to walk in with joy.

[@jayhuf64]

I always look forward to seeing your sidewalk garden every year, it's so incredibly beautiful and I've gotten so much inspiration from it!

[@marky3131]

Great to see so many native plants!

[@ydoyougarden]

Huge native plant fan here. My quota is usually at least 50% of my projects 😊

[@crickettjd]

Beautiful; I always love your garden tours!!!

[@kristieoblak963]

I love that you love natives amongst your other plants. So inspiring 😍

[@ydoyougarden]

Love natives!

[@suzannebartow6390]

That is the most beautiful Plox in your "hell stripe" I have ever seen. I think I must get one despite not having any success in the past with tall ones. Well Done.

[@ydoyougarden]

Love Phlox!

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

Thank you for this beautiful video Yulia. Your nature-strip, as we call them here, is stunning. The bees are enjoying their pollen feast!

[@ydoyougarden]

Many thanks

[@serometate1031]

Absolutely gorgeous garden…love the color scheme and I am going to try to incorporate a few more native species in my garden…very inspiring 💗

[@ydoyougarden]

Yes to natives! they are so beautiful!

[@ginnytalbert3696]

What a wonderfully delightful hell strip!! Well done!

[@adrabruzzese7610]

Looks beautifulas always! Yulia, you make the polinators so happy.😊

[@karrelyeagle696]

Your hell-strip always looks beautiful. Thanks for growing such beautiful flowers.

[@beatriceanderson9745]

As usual just beautiful! You gave me a lot of new plants for my wishlist for next year. lol Why don’t the call it a heaven strip? It’s just plain heavenly! Thanks for sharing. 😊💖🌸🙏🐝🦋

[@ydoyougarden]

Haha, that’s great!

[@heatherw.2751]

I really love that echinacea with the green on the tips of its pedals!! I had to pull all my echinacea out of my garden due to asters yellow disease. But next season I will be adding it back in and will definitely be on the lookout for that variety! Thanks for the tour, it’s all so lovely!

[@ydoyougarden]

I had to pull some of mine too

[@upnorth21]

The different types of pink coneflower add such a nice touch with all the unique plants you have in there. Love the color combos.

[@karenfuller450]

Thanks I was looking forward to seeing your hell strip garden! Did not disappoint!

[@maryglidden2943]

Always so enjoy your tours!!!! I always find several plants that I have to write down on my "must find" list! That Verbena has made it on the list today!! Thank you!

[@ydoyougarden]

Wonderful!

[@jennifer-threedogsinagarde8265]

Your garden is always such an inspiration. I am north of you and find that ‘Blue Fortune’ rarely makes it through the winter. It’s still a favourite and I guess I will need to think of it more as an annual. Love the native Valerian, the echinacea tinged with green… the list goes on.

[@Carols64]

Beautiful !! I would just stop and stare at all of them !! Also am a huge fan of Joe pie weed !! I live in Massachusetts and saw it once in a garden and fell in love with it ! Had to get it !! Love the dark stems !! Loving your huge drift of it !!! ❤

[@ydoyougarden]

Love Joe pye!!

[@Edu_Kate]

I ❤️ your gardens and videos, Yuliya! I have purchased several plants based on your favorites. I've lost some (mostly annuals) due to not getting them planted immediately. I hope my Culver's root survives, I just need to clear the planned spot of gigantic weeds first. My elephant ear corms arrived later than I would have liked and still haven't been planted. At this point, I'll try potting them and treat as houseplants over winter. Minnesota growing season is so short. I was successful keeping an ivy geranium in the pot, in my house over winter. Cut off leggy stems and doubled my plants. I won't try the paper bag method ever again. Gardening is experimenting. Gardens are never finished. You've given me some ideas for a corner along neighbors' chain link fence. I have a 'Candy Corn' spirea and wondered if I should get more (a trio) or low conifors or, now, phlox or Russian sage. This SW area is behind an awesome 'Virtual Violet' lilac and I can't wait to smell next year's blooms. So fragrant.

[@donnamvail]

The plant is called Pink Penstemon x Thorn at 16:39 into video.

[@ydoyougarden]

Thank you!

[@renejohnson37]

Beautiful! I would change my route to walk by this everyday if I were your neighbor.

[@ydoyougarden]

People do all the time!

[@SandyKH]

Lovely garden as always. The weather here is too wet for many of my plants to thrive... so much editing needs to be done. The weeds thrive, however...endlessly. You inspire me to make the necessary changes in my own garden.

[@ydoyougarden]

Absolutely! I move things all the time!

[@gilbertdiaz7817]

Hell strip garden is looking great! That penstemon looks like the variety called Flock of Flamingos.

[@OfftoShambala]

I like the few spots of height in the hell strip. It’s like a heaven strip with what you’ve done with it!

[@carolfield8803]

Beautiful!!

[@judyfick2967]

I love this garden area...thx so much for sharing this video

so pretty, andI like the random tall moments in there!!

[@christinemalnati9440]

Beautiful! My dahlias are suffering from the heat,, too - I’m in MA. I just picked up Queen of Praise, swamp milkweed and desmodium canadense today. Can’t wait to plant them but it so hot and humid.

[@ydoyougarden]

It’s been brutal 🥵

[@FengShuiSusan]

Thank you, lovely 🥰

[@ydoyougarden]

[@corinabecerra953]

So pretty!!

[@martystevens2313]

The pollen on bees legs is called "pollen pants". I heard that somewhere and think it's perfect.

[@ydoyougarden]

Awww!

[@christytrunko6970]

Very pretty!!!!!❤❤

[@patriciacasey6767]

With several of the plants you showed us, you called their latin names. I know common names can be different based on different locals, but I'd love to hear the common names so I can ask about them at nurseries in my area. I really enjoy your beautiful garden and your collection of unusual plants. I live in the mid-south, zone 8a where the heat and humidity is a yearly problem making so many of the plants that can be grown in zone 8a where the humidity is lower, impossible to grow here. Each area has its own set of issues, I guess.

[@ydoyougarden]

Thank you so much! yes, every area has its pros and cons 😊 It's been extremely hot and humid here this year

[@melepling2742]

Lovely! I think your penstemon might be Apple Blossom. I look across ant your neighbor’s hell strips and you are definitely a standout, in the best way,

[@nicolemartins7577]

Love your use of natives! I'm in zone 6b and my agastache never comes back either. I wonder if it hates wet winters?

[@melissasheehan3077]

"Thorn" penstimon I believe is the variety

[@arnorrian1]

I started Asclepias verticillata from seed, hopefully it starts flowering next year. I hate it that I can't find Little Joe Pye weed or pink Veronicastrum seeds anywhere. I'm not in the US, so getting a live plant is a no go. You should take a look at Echinacea paradoxa, amazing plant. Flowers much earlier than regular Echinacea, and has tall sturdy stalks with large yellow flowers. Flowers in the second year.Also Penstemon grandiflorus, an amazing plant.

[@ydoyougarden]

All sound like awesome plants! I haven’t seen the seeds of veronicastrum here either

[@peregrineslim4446]

A little bit of a fly over of the entire streetscape would have been nice.

[@ydoyougarden]

I will try to cross the street next time, but as for the drones, they are not allowed here 😊

You do such a good job in companion planting. Your Russian sage is short while mine in 4 ft….which kind do you grow there?

[@countrygalinthecity]

Beautiful border! I've been looking for penstomine but haven't found any yet

[@denisedelgado3350]

Really beautiful 🤩

[@ydoyougarden]

Thank you! 😊

[@tammyfassi5915]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I have learned a lot and got ideas based on your garden. I see you did not grow cleome this time. I introduced it to my garden this year. It’s not doing so well. Do you have any tips for me?

[@ydoyougarden]

It's in another shadier spot, it gets too hot for it now. they don't like it at all

[@tammyfassi5915]

@@ydoyougarden makes sense. They are in a hot spot. thanks for the tip.

[@ChestnutGardens]

That pale pink phlox looks like a shrub. Gosh its gorgeous! Whats the name again?

[@GardenEvolution]

What a hell of a garden! See what I did there? 😂 not to step on toes here but I’ve had that agapanthus for the last 3 years here in zone 6. It’s starting to see around now. Fun fact, takes two years for agapanthus to sprout from seed so that’s something!

[@ydoyougarden]

So interesting !!! Thanks Brad!

[@PeggyMills]

Your talk Joe Pye Weed is amazing. May I ask which variety it is and how many you planted to achieve this effect?

[@ydoyougarden]

I have baby Joe and euphoria ruby

[@susanoesterle8360]

I think I have experienced clematis wilt this year. Very few blooms and leaves that turned brown. Will this come back next year and what can I do to help her survive?

[@threeriversforge1997]

Very nice. You might replace that "weedy" non-native penisetum with some Carex haydenii, Carex sprengelii, or even Carex muskingumensis. Depending on your site, there are a lot of native plants that'll give you a similar look without being too weedy or invasive. There's even a Switch Grass cultivar that has almost exactly that same weeping look, Panicum virgatum 'Cape Breeze'. As a native enthusiast, I think Cape Breeze is something I need to add to my garden...

[@ydoyougarden]

Planted many Cape Breeze on my other projects and love them, but they tend to flop in more shade like I have here. I am thinking bottlebrush instead, such a cool shade grass 😊

[@threeriversforge1997]

@@ydoyougarden I've not yet seen any Cape Breeze in person, not of any size anyhow. I think I might like it as a hedge along my hell strip, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea because I just don't like the idea of the hedge disappearing every spring when I cut down the dead growth. Maybe a hedge of Yaupon holly....

[@warp9p659]

Very beautiful! Just wondering where you got the blue culver's root plants? I've never seen them for sale.

[@nicolamarini]

you have a sort of catalog planted there . !

[@ydoyougarden]

Thank you!

[@ManagerWestlan]

I adore your sidewalk garden. I've a question about the first plant you showed. It has white thistle-like flowers. It sounded like you called it erinthium lacafolium, but I couldn't find it on-line. Is this not the correct spelling? Thank you, Yulia

[@judith3181]

Eryngium agavifolium

Hi there, I have Bee balm in my garden too, but yours is short and mine is tall. Is it a dwarf verity or something?!

Yes, it’s a short variety- blue moon
