I am currently working in my landscape ideas and plans for around our new greenhouse. It’s still early here in Wisconsin so the planting will be a ways off. But I’ll definitely be taping the process and getting something out there early summer. Thanks for your comments 😊

Absolutely gorgeous! I’m not a formal garden fan but yours works so well with your garden. So many beautiful plants and flowers. Do you have a list of the flowers you have growing. I lost my Lamb’s ear a few summers ago during a drought. I honestly don’t think I’ve seen any garden as beautiful as yours. I live in the woods so I have to find areas to put my sun loving flowers. I have a center area inside of our drive . It’s just woodsy drive but beautiful. My hope to to put hosta and shade loving plants in it. You garden gives me so much inspiration. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.

[@cynthiahachey5816]

Beautifully designed gardens, balanced and shows contrasts and highlights at the same time. Those purple heuchera pick up and enhance the purple in the coneflowers. I love how you use big swaths of one plant, so you have strong definition of each batch of colour and texture. Gardens that are too full of single plantings, all crowded together create a messy and chaotic look that make me dizzy. Your garden is peaceful and calming as you drift along. I just want to jump in and walk along the path in person, sit on that red bench and read. Thanks for sharing!

[@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn]

Thank you for your kind comments! I definitely plant in large groupings!! I agree that it is calming for some reason 😊

Beautiful garden❤ Can you let us know how you care for your plants, water, feed, pruning? EVERYTHING looks amazing. Thank you for sharing. You have green hands!

[@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn]

Thank you. A lot of my plants that are established do not get much assistance from me. They get rain from Mother Nature and that is about all. I do water anything I have planted that summer or the previous year. Otherwise they are mostly on their own unless we get a serious drought. Then I water. Our lawn does not get water either. I cut all my gardens back in spring. Everything stays up (except plants like hosta’s which get mushy). I hand trim my boxwoods as needed. I am not much for overshaped boxwoods. I do not feed any of my perennials in the ground. I do feed by container plants a couple of time during the summer with Bloom Boost. Other than good potting soil that is it. I am all about choosing lower care plants 😊 Hope this helps somewhat!

[@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn]

Thank you 😊 I maintain the gardens but my hubby maintains the lawn and if I beg he does my edging. But he has done the hardscaping (walkways) and I do the planting etc. I have transplanted my sum and substance hosta in spring. That is the best time to dig it up and divide or move. I also grew one in a container for the longest time and just recently popped it into the ground. Just try to get a good root ball when you move it. Keep me posted!!

Your space sound absolutely lovely! That is a lot of roses I bet that is so pretty. I do the garden alone for the most part. Occasionally I can get my hubby to help me edge in spring and he does all the lawn care. He also cuts anything like big tree branches and such. But the garden is all me☺️

At 6:06 on your video....where did you get what looks like a hitching post with that fabulous lantern? Is it electric? Wonderful focal point. Is it available for purchase? I am in midMichigan-how far North are you in Wisconsin? I am also getting a green house and wonder how your heating in winter is going? We are now listed as zone 6A (from 5). Are the fans you put in your green house effective for you?

[@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn]

That is an electric lantern. We purchased it at a local light store here in the Milwaukee area. My husband made that post for it to hang on. We’ve had it here now for 30 years so I’m not sure if it’s available but I’m sure there are ones like it out there. I am in south east Wisconsin. We heat our greenhouse with the stove and a supplemental greenhouse heater for the cold nights. However, we shut it down in January February, and March and really don’t add any supplemental heat unless we happen to be out there on a sunny day in the middle of winter. The fans are fabulous to have fans to either push air down or pull air out. Good luck with your Greenhouse!

@@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn hello! I am in Zone 9b. The native soil is caliche. Therefore, I have raised beds. The state is trying to get people to convert to Xeriscaping. I’m not a fan. I am in the process of killing back the water loving plants. I am researching what I can grow here that requires little to no water. I want more than just succulents, but it is very challenging because not only do the plants have to be drought tolerant, they must be heat tolerant as well. So far, I have come up with salvias and bougainvilleas. I have lemon and lime trees, which I irrigate for 5 minutes once a week. It is very difficult to find plants that require little to no water. Anyhow, I love your garden!!

@@sherylchapman4168 ok that sounds extremely challenging!! What about "Moonshine" yarrow (Achillea x ''Moonshine'') and grasses? Esparto grass (Lygeum spartium), hardy in USDA zones 9 to 11 prefers a dry, sunny site but tolerates some shade. Growing 1 to 3 feet tall and wide, it bears interesting, bird-like spring flowers above silver-blue foliage. Thanks for being here and good luck to you in the garden!!

I do use a deer repellent especially in spring. That can help. I also try not to plant things deer like to eat. Though they will eat anything. For spring I plant a lot of daffodils. I do have some hostas but the ones up by the house I think are protected by the boxwood hedge. Plus I have a dog who likes to bark at the deer and run after them. That helps too lol.

The plants are lovely but I cannot help but wonder where are all of your pollinators? I have many of these plants in a wildflower meadow, except I have all native varieties and we have hundreds and hundreds of pollinators all over my plants. I honestly do not see a single pollinator in your gardens. Where are they all?😢

[@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn]

No worries they are there. Go to my Instagram channel where I constantly have stories and reels of all the pollinators going to town on my flowers. I have an 8 acre Prairie that surrounds are home and house that actually has a lot of pollinators. In fact, our Prairie was designated a monarch waystation, because we have so many move through here and all of the native flowers we have in the prairie. Thanks!!
