Vilma’s Fairytale Garden

We take a tour of the amazing garden of Vilma McDonald of DeLaCruz Landscape Design - enjoying her pond complete with waterfall, Mediterranean garden, dry meadow, shade garden, flowers galore, beautiful trees and shrubs, and so much more, in zone 8 outside of Eugene, Oregon. The song is an original by Mark Owen Coombe named ‘Oregon Sunrise’.

Years ago, HGTV had actual garden programs and one of my favorites was Erica Glasener's "A Gardener's Diary", where she walked through a garden with the gardener, talking plants, etc. Your videos remind me of that wonderful series - exactly the way gardeners talk to each other when visiting each other's gardens! Wonderful work, and thank you for sharing ❤

[@ephemeraphilesbytomi]

I loved that show!

[@lindylou3519]

I loved that show! I miss the gardening shows so much.

[@user-yv9fq5ym9w]

Yes I remember that! How many home makeover contest shows with an " open concept" and grey walls featuring overly caffenated yet somehow still dull hosts can we have?

[@rosiewalker7702]

i AGREE. THERE ARN'T ANY GARDEN SHOWS ANY MORE. I MISS THEM.

[@christinejames3815]

I wish HGTV would get back to the gardening shows.

[@blancavr1]

I loved this episode. Vilma made me laugh, "mira, mira... otro!!!!" 😊❤

[@melissamartin8208]

Gardening is cheaper than therapy -- says my garden sign. It's soooo true.

[@tammywinter9268]

This video made me want to add a few more trees and shrubs, very nice garden, I could hear it just fine.

[@laurahale5774]

What a lovely tour of a beautiful and diverse garden. Thank you for sharing.

[@karentandy3331]

I. Could hear everything fine. Love your tours!! Keep doing it. Thanks 🌸

[@deannahaworth7666]

I absolutely love this garden and I love that it has lots of plants in it that is given to her by her friends

[@connieavallone3991]

I love this beautiful garden. It is very inspiring to see the total transformation of a gravel yard to a beautiful magical space. Thanks!

[@williamtaylor2412]

LOVE THIS

[@susanfox-mx3nv]

I have seen SO MANY garden videos, and this is my favorite. The garden is lovely and the narrators are mellow, well versed, and they move at an excellent pace. It seems they are in Southern California. It would have helped me to know their zone. Still it was fun to watch.

[@loinguyenngoc8603]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@chassathomas7963]

The garden is beautiful. However, the video was low. Thanks for sharing though. 😊

[@paulinewilliams747]

What a nice garden...

[@reneeswallow2023]

First time watcher, and I'm so delighted! I've subscribed and look forward to visiting again. Blessings!

[@River-dwg3]

I love the inspiration of layerings of plants. I'd love to see this at another time too, for the yellow pine and flowerings of others. Thanks

[@susanadeoliveira976]

So beautiful and peaceful 😊

[@c.jakubowski6549]

WOW. Oh my this is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Please share what zone you are in.

[@user-gc5dh7ot2o]

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it! I'm in Zone 8b and live in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

[@georgiamk8469]

I love the tour and hope you do more! It was so hard to hear what you guys were saying though - but it seemed interesting!

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you for your support and your feedback! Wholly unexpected to get this much traction on my second video! Definitely audio and video improvements to come in future videos :)

[@mitzi605]

Lovely garden ,I just can't get any volume

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Beautiful yard. You can hear birds😊!

[@GrandmaSandy]

Just found your channel by accident today and oh my gosh I loved it so much. It was such a beautiful video you put together today and this garden is breathtakingly beautiful always love a good garden video and you did a beautiful job shooting this wonderful video and sharing this wonderful garden and bringing me so much joy. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie. I’m sure I’ll be back again soon. I am now following you. I click that little bill and I gave you a thumbs up. Thanks so much for another great video.

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you Grandma Sandy and Debbie!! So glad to know you enjoyed it 😊 more garden videos to come, filmed with ❤ for you both!

[@melvilleandpure]

I love it...I can picture myself there, drinking it all in. It has always been my dream to have a "Secret Garden" like the one in the movie of the same name. thank you again

[@LindasFlowersandVegetablesGard]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love this garden and subscribed !

[@dorotheamcmillan229]

So beautiful. Love it. ❤️

[@macampbell5257]

Love the tour

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thanks for a beautiful garden tour. I really loved it. Thank you so much my dear friend I watch from the beginning to the end didn’t wanna miss anything.

[@anitabarra810]

I am so glad I came across your video. It was enjoyable and informative. I look forward to more tours of gardens.

[@moreilly3044]

Beautiful video 🥰

[@rosehill1595]

What a great garden! It looks like it would be worth a visit during all four seasons. As a long time gardener it is always a pleasure to stroll in someone elses garden and discover something new. Thanks for the garden walk and peek over the fence.

[@amyhurley5670]

Slugs and Hosta= I put a thin ring of Epsome Salt around the emerging leaf heads in very early spring....works great

[@janereel1903]

I would've liked to know the zone this garden is in from the very beginning. It helps me relate to the area of the country & the conditions the gardener deals with. Maybe you explained the zone later on, but even a scroll to say where this was would've been helpful. I've never viewed your channel before.

[@user-gc5dh7ot2o]

Hi @janereel1903! I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Zone 8b. The soil is rich river bed, great drainage and everything seems to grow. Where are you located?

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you for the feedback! Yes - will definitely put that info in the comments from now on!

[@cajunlady4893]

I like how Vilma tells you the the age of her plants to get an idea how fast they grow. I wish she would of added the plant size was when she first planted the plant. Lovely garden Thanks for the charming tour

[@cajunlady4893]

Starting at 16:20 Vilma looks so young. She resembled Lisa Marie Presley

[@overthefencetours]

I am sure she will be thrilled to hear that, I will let her know :)

[@rosehill1595]

She said they were starter plants in four-inch pots - any true nursery will carry that starter size for spring gardening. It is best to get them as early as they are available because the favorites and the newest varieties always go first. Besides giving the plants a good headstart it also saves you money because further into the season all you can get are more expensive full-size plants. I have a big garden so even if I buy twenty plants you can't tell I added anything and even one plant that is midsize at ten bucks is not always in the budget. Over time you get cuttings from friends, or propagate the one big plant you have to get five new ones, some plants you can simply divide. Every year I seed a few favorites in the ground and try a few different (new to me:) flowers/veggies or herbs - sometimes they all do well, sometimes you find a new favorite that is a real winner for your microclimate in your garden and other years, nothing at all works out. Plant sales by your garden clubs and Earth Day Festivals are a great source for finding cool plants and getting great advice at the same time. Good luck and Happy Gardening!

[@jacqueline5674]

I just found your channel and I love love your Pride and Prejudice intro. So classy.

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you!! Im glad someone notice that. My obsession with gardens and plants started as a kid, watching those movies over and over with my mom. seeing the characters strolling about the parks and gardens of the sets was such a happy place for me. Its only fitting that i use the song for my intro :D

[@rosiewalker7702]

Beautiful Yaes, but could hardly hear. Would like to know the zone.

[@carbonc6065]

Nice!

[@debbiedodge749]

Beautiful but I could barely hear ya'll

[@barbaragrant9635]

Hi Vilma! So nice to 'see' you. What a lovely garden you created.

[@user-gc5dh7ot2o]

Hi @barbaragrant9635! I can't believe the views of this 'Over the Fence' tour. Thanks for the visit!

[@cynthiabaltrus8872]

beautiful garden, but cant hear it at all!

[@jonmcclung5597]

Hi, I just found your channel today and I'm delighted by the beautiful gardens you are showcasing! I think the videos would be even more enjoyable if the videography could be improved. At times it felt like the camera was moving too fast or too abruptly. It also seemed like there could have been a better mix of close-ups and wide shots. I subscribed to your channel because I really like what you're doing and I'm excited to see what comes next!

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you for your support and your super valuable feedback! I will be more conscious of those shot styles in future Landscape Tours - and some serious audio help is coming my way! Thank you again for being a fan :)

[@cajunlady4893]

Thank you Tell her I said Hi!

[@user-oc1kb3xn5p]

اتمنى لكم السعاده واتوفيق لكل العائله

[@angelapolly1]

I very much enjoy the videos on this channel. I'm hard of hearing and find the dialogue difficult to comprehend at times even with volume turned all the way up.

[@overthefencetours]

Thank you so much! Thank you for letting me know about the sound issues, I definitely plan to upgrade my microphone set up before filming the next round of tours! Until then, i know its not ideal, but i did make sure the subtitles are correct :)

[@mattienelson8620]

Poor audio kept this from being interesting😢

[@loinguyenngoc8603]

Hello❤❤❤❤❤

[@barbthreinen2628]

Wish your sound was better. I feel there was interesting topics, but she wasn't coming in that good.

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

The volume is so low!!

[@richardeidemiller6739]

I couldn't hear most of it. Too bad. Vicki

[@deechiodo6738]

Looks like an interesting video but, hard to hear

[@shirleyprescott1528]

Video is not easy to watch.

[@lindabonomi7274]

Sadly, this video was so out of focus and difficult to hear, I ended up giving it a thumbs down...also, lots of "whipping around" with the camera...dizzying...slightly improved from time to time, but I couldn't finish the film...sorry

[@melodymcdonnell1528]

HGTV has become a real disappointment. I never watch it anymore.

[@_joelma_apaixonada_plantas]
