Hi Benita, What a joy it was to watch this. Your Urban Jungle, is delightful. Pure bliss to sit out there with your darling cats, whist being engrossed in an interesting book. Kindest greetings from Zurich.
Lovely plants. I think you spent a lot of money on them and took a lot of care choosing them. They remind me of some small gardens in fashionable parts of London. We think your lifestyle suits you i.e. your wardrobe and accessories.
Thank you! To be honest it didn’t spend all that much on the plants. I did on the structure but quite a few of the climbers were already there. I also brought some of the Hostas potted from my house when so moved. I have filled in with more Hostas, ferns and added the bamboo 🌿
I do! I’ve always loved rain, thunder and lightning but when I lived in houses I was constantly worried about gutters, potential flooding, the roof and stuff like that. Now that that’s not my responsibility anymore I LOVE me a good heavy rain fall!🙌🏻
Just beautiful. I feel so soothed by the calmness of this little film and from looking at the way the plants change with the passing of time. Thank you Benita!
not only beautiful plants and music, but the graphics were so well done. it was fun trying to guess the plants and then see their names appear and see if correct. thank you. gorgeous
I am absolutely in envy of your small outdoor space, I love the layers, colours and textures of greenery throughout your garden. I hope that you are able to go outside and enjoy some sunny days now that it is summer over there!
How lovely to be able to wear a sweater in July!! It's currently 102° F where I live and bone brittle dry. I so enjoyed seeing your beautiful garden and the light rain!!
I was just thinking that it would be nice to get an update on your pretty patio garden. I love the white flowers with all the shades of green, it is very calming
Your videos are aesthetically pleasing - you know how to do so much with so little. The plants you have chosen for your compact space work so very well on many levels 🌱
Benita, I absolutely love your garden. It would be nice to find out how do you choose plants to plant in your patio. I know that quite a few of the plants you are showing are technically poisonous/toxic to cats and I love them but was always scared to plant them in my own garden. But now seeing you have them and you have two furballs, could you share how do you manage? Do they eat the plants? Or avoid them altogether? Thank you!
Quite a lot was already there so I mainly added hostas and bamboo. Luckily my cats only eat grasses and catnip so I always have some of that for them to nibble on.
@@BenitaLarsson Thank you for sharing your experience. I am growing some catnip grass and the cat grass, so I might give it a try with planting one hosta plant and seeing whether my cat will decide to avoid too. :) I really laughed when you mentioned how you left some space for your kittys to dig - I didn't and my cat removed some plants himself :D
Your garden is lovely! The stem trimmer seems really nice! Is that the tips how you can keep your flowers fresh for a long time! I also picked some lady's mantle from my little garden this morning and display in my lounge. They are brightening up my mood ♡ Hope you have a great day ahead xx
No secret, they thrive in pots! It does snow and freeze here and they just pop right out again come spring! Just make sure your pots are freeze resistant.
I really enjoy watching your garden (change). Keeping the colours in your plant choices to mainly greens & whites is calming yet makes that small area, larger & brighter. That timber fence though! 😍 Well done Benita. Your content keeps me coming back.
Beautiful video Benita. I finished today redoing my closet shelves with inspiration from your closet video and I have been compiling a spotify music list based on the music you have selected on this channel! Thank you for the inspiration!
watching this makes me both happy and sad. so happy to see your plants, especially all these greens thriving, fresh and delicate, a little sad that my orchid, my only plant at home, also a gift from a friend, finally gave up this week, i think because it's so dry and hot here in Barcelona now, though I did try my best to make sure moisture and temperature control for them. but anyway, congratulations and thanks for sharing this
Yup! There are a couple of varieties of clematis that I didn’t plant. They help with the greenery so I just accept the few blooms they produce. There’s one purple and one wine red but that one basically disappears against the fence.
I love your garden! And I think the fence is actually giving a lot of privacy, more then I might have expected when you first showed it. I did wonder if you ever have any birds that get stuck in the netting? Is there a way to keep them out/of it?
Beautiful garden and very relaxing and uplifting video. Thank you for all the different perspectives. As you seem to care a lot about sustainability and the aesthetics of simplicity, I would totally recommend to learn more about insect friendly plants, which are therefore local ones. I am recently one the journey to a natural garden and impressed of the variety that (used to be) native in my area. You can easily find some to fit in to your colour schema and even adding one or two plants can have a big impact. Since there are so many variety which are beneficial for local insects, your garden do not need to look like a natural wild garden, if you don't want him to and you can manage to have blooms from the last frost in spring, to the first ones in autumn.
I’m totally up for that but there’s not much space left. I do already have a few plants that attract bees and butterflies but they’re late bloomers so they’re hardly visible yet and hence not in the video.
@@BenitaLarsson Ah okay I can imagine it might be more diffecult in a city garden like yours. I would really appreciate a update video for the seconde half of the year :) All the different shades, textures and structures in your garden are inspiring for future projects
@@BenitaLarsson I really love it. It's so calm. I love white lilac and, when I find some, white geraniums. My garden is mostly purple to pink (yellow imposters appeared and soon to be removed). When I see neighbours putting mismatch colours I go eek.
What a beautiful and relaxing space!! I would have a glass of wine out there all of the time!! Beautiful flowers & plants. Another job well done Benita!! I love your home!! 💗
Thank you for this video😀 Everything is so green and full of life! I noticed the net the terrace is covered with. What is it for? Is it something I can look up on line?
Were you as surprised as me when the clematis flower came out purple in a sea of white and green? Thanks Benita, this was a lovely video to start the day in New Zealand! Hope you are staying safe in Sweden.
Hi Benita, What a joy it was to

Well hello @1 11. Nice to see you here too 😉 I guess we have several tastes in common. Have a nice day from this side of the pond
@@Poppy- Where is your side
of the pond Poppy? Kind
greetings.
I love how you have almost only green and white but brought variety with a lot of plants species. So elegant as always!
So nice, I like the way you see things through your camera. You've got a talent to catch the right moment. Very inspiring.
Aww, you’re so sweet, thank you!
This video filled me with peace. Thank you for creating such a lovely experience for us.

It has grown in so nicely! I’m still hoping the bamboo will thicken up, but maybe next year!
This brings me Peace : ) With all that is going on in the world today, this really helps. Thank you.
Beautifully and peacefully filmed.....very lovely garden...

Beautiful. Can’t get enough. Thank you for inspiration
Thank you, so sweet of you to say!
Love your patio, the fact that it's large enough for you to grow things, for your kitties to play and for you to enjoy the outdoors. Just lovely.
It’s such a good size for the city!
Does anyone else love watching rain falling on a garden as much as I do?
I do! I’ve always loved rain, thunder and lightning but when I lived in houses I was constantly worried about gutters, potential flooding, the roof and stuff like that. Now that that’s not my responsibility anymore I LOVE me a good heavy rain fall!🙌🏻
thank you for your inspiration Benita... I'm going to my garden to cut flowers now!
I’m so happy if you feel inspired by it!
I just love your style. It's so peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you so much for acknowledging that!
This was such a visual delight! Thank you for sharing your wonderful yard and your great vision! 🌱
Thank you so much for watching it!🌿

Lovely video, appreciate the naming of the various plants, and lovely ending with the simple effective greenery in the vase. Thank you for sharing.

I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Your plants look so healthy and beautiful. Really have a nice patio and garden space.
It’s so nice to have in the city!
Gorgeous, warm and welcoming!

Thank you! Yes, I’m happy with the result so far!
I am absolutely in envy of your small outdoor space, I love the layers, colours and textures of greenery throughout your garden. I hope that you are able to go outside and enjoy some sunny days now that it is summer over there!

Lovely to see your courtyard garden again - it’s very serene and beautiful. I bet the kitties love it too

I do enjoy so ending time out there!🌿
So serene. Thank you!

Lovely garden, thanks you for sharing. Quarantined in America.
Thank you so much for watching!
You inspire me thanks so much😊

It is a little piece of inner city heaven!
You are so inspirational! Thank you for showing us a quiet and purposeful life!
Thank you! I do keep quite a busy life also though 😊
What a gorgeous courtyard garden - bursting with life but yet uncluttered.
Your garden looks so good. Love the video very much, very peaceful.

Always a sweet surprise to see a new video posting from you...such a delight and peaceful...greetings from Florida, USA
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Absolutely stunning xx

Quite a lot was already there so I mainly added hostas and bamboo. Luckily my cats only eat grasses and catnip so I always have some of that for them to nibble on.

You did such a geat job with filming and gardening so I could enjoy this peaceful atmosphere so much-I love it 😍
So glad you enjoyed it!🌿🌸
This is the most beautiful and tasteful urban garden I have ever seen. I am so jealous. Thanks for the inspirations. Greetings from Germany.
Aww, thank you so much!😊
Love your urban garden.
Just wonderful. Love your garden!
So beautiful! Your plants look absolutely perfect -- so healthy and lush. A very restful video to watch.
I’m so glad you like it!
Beautiful garden!!!! Thank you
Thank you and thanks so much for watching!
Love your plants... Du you have a list Somewhere?
Wow! What a transformation, very tranquil x
It did turn out well😊
The garden looks amazing. Mine has been so battered in the last few weeks in England with wind and rain. Come back summer x
We’ve had a bit of stormy weather too but it’s looking like it’s improving!🙌🏻
Your garden is lovely! The stem trimmer seems really nice! Is that the tips how you can keep your flowers fresh for a long time! I also picked some lady's mantle from my little garden this morning and display in my lounge. They are brightening up my mood ♡
Hope you have a great day ahead xx
I think trimming them on an angle helps and refreshing the water!
You have really created an urban oasis. Beautiful.
Thank you so much, it has turned out nicely!🌿
Can you tell the secret how to grow hostas in the pot. Do you get snow in the winter? Do you keep hostas outside during the winter months? Thanks
No secret, they thrive in pots! It does snow and freeze here and they just pop right out again come spring! Just make sure your pots are freeze resistant.
Your garden looks beautiful.🌸🌷🐞🐈
Thank you! It has turned out well!
@@BenitaLarsson ♥️

Well done Benita. Your content keeps me coming back.
Thank you, I’m so happy to hear that!
How do you keep your hostas from being eaten by slugs - they look wonderful. The white alliums look gorgeous.
I’m in the inner city so luckily (for me who can not stand slugs 🥴) there are none! Hope it didn’t jinx it 😬
Beautiful video Benita. I finished today redoing my closet shelves with inspiration from your closet video and I have been compiling a spotify music list based on the music you have selected on this channel! Thank you for the inspiration!

You've done a fantastic job in your garden, I'm so envious! 😁
Thank you so much!🌿
So beautiful!!! So calming to watch your videos. Thank you 💚💚
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
@@BenitaLarsson I do!! So much 😍
Beautiful garden 🌱🌿
Thank you so much!
You've grown so much in such a short amount of time. The garden is beautiful.
It has filled in nicely, thank you!🌿

It’s lovely out there!
Simply beautiful!
Thank you so much!🌿
A beautiful garden and stunning film photography; vibrant and sharp. Very professionally done Benita....congratulations! 💕💕
Thanks so much! I still find shooting difficult!
Looking this video was like meditation.thank you 🌞🌹
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous! Was that a purple flower that I saw!? LOL :)

Wonderful!
I’m so glad you like it!🌿
This is one of the best so far. 😊
I’m so glad you like it!
Lovely video but I couldn’t read the tiny font.
Your plants look lovely and healthy Benita,so relaxing watching the months pass by.💕
Thank you so much, yes mostly they are healthy! Hoping for some more growth on the bamboos, but maybe they’ll have a growth spurt next year!🤞🏻
Soo beautiful!!, And peaceful. I always eagerly await for your videos, hi from Argentina 🇦🇷
I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!

An all white and green garden🌱. It's perfect! Love the pansy-hosta combination thou I never was fond of hostas.
Everything I planted is green and white but there are some earlier imposters 🙌🏻

Fabulous. Love all the green and white. I'm thinking ye may get as much rain as we do in Ireland🙄🥴
It varies greatly! We were on tropical mode a few weeks ago, then Irish and now plain Swedish 😂
I have the same IKEA metal tables! I wish they would carry them again!!! Beautiful video ! Very calming 😊❣️
That has been with me since our first house! I also wish they’d bring them back!
So pretty and tranquil! I found myself quite drawn to the cosmos! Must see if it will grow in my area. 🌷
Were you as surprised as me when the clematis flower came out purple in a sea of white and green? Thanks Benita, this was a lovely video to start the day in New Zealand! Hope you are staying safe in Sweden.
It bloomed last year so I knew it would pop up again. I love the foliage it brings so I’m leaving it😊
