What stunning layering! Wow! It appears Spud has given her approval to her new garden. The nice thing about container gardening is you can rearrange it as you please. Thank you for showing us the creative process. 🌿🌿🌿

Who would have ever thought you could have this many plants in such an intimate little courtyard...Shade gardens are my absolute favorite and this is a stunner! The three terra cotta potted mini box woods is the perfection punctuation of this amazing little sanctuary.
Hi there… thank you for lovely message I’m so glad you enjoyed it, shade gardens are my favourites i just love all the different shades of green 💚🌳🌱 thanks again for the compliment and have a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
Dear Chip, this is breathtaking!!! It took me some many klicks to identify the purple Jasmin as “Solanum Crispum' glasnevin“, if I am not mistaken?! Again, a plant, not available in Germany. *Grrr* Much like the ceanothus “trewithen blue“. Thank you, politicians! 😥 But, what a joy to look at!!!

Hi Silvia 🤠 thank you for your message, myself I thought maybe to much but I think as the ferns open I will be able to thin out some and that’s the beautiful thing about having them in pots you can just move them slightly or all together 👍🏼 the Azaleas will probably be moved outside the back one they have finished flowering and replaced with a summer blooming flower , I feel a shopping trip coming up giggles 🤭 All the best and have a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
Lovely space, so peaceful. I've a similar setting with box and hostas and ferns in pots with brunnera for a splash of colour. I've just added a few (pink) tuberous begonias for summer flowers there too with some creeping Jenny and a few coleus for a bit of contrast. Love it ❤
Thank you Aisling ! Your space sounds delicious 🤠 I probably will add a bit more colour over the summer months I just have to decide what 👍🏼 maybe a shopping trip giggles 🤭 all the best and thanks again for your message 🌱 Chip

@@ChipsGreenWorld oh Chip, well, you are literally the first to know this! You gave me the initial idea and I was going to do exactly the same as you’ve done.

Absolutely amazing! We had a solanum. It was quite big. I gave up flowering after 5 years ..I thought it needed more sun but yours seem to be in a shady part of the garden? May I ask what the white flowering plant is please. They look like white stars
I love container gardening and the ability to shift things around as things grow on, I find your garden so inspiring and appreciate you sharing your space with us 😍

So lovely. Quiet elegance. I especially like the box cubes and your ferns.❤ I'm missing my box plant clipping this year as we were hit by box caterpillars last summer and all was lost😢. Had to remove the lot and don't want to risk replacement. So now I have a box free garden which is very strange. Nothing is quite as good...
Awww Bertie that’s so sad to hear, i feel for you as I would be lost without my buxus 🤞 hopefully you will find a good substitute soon and your garden will thrive and look better than ever 🤞🌱 wishing you all the best and a great gardening year ahead 🌱 Chip

Hi and thank you so much for your message. I think the trick with pots is if you go out and see some grab them. You will always fill them. No matter where I go shopping I am always drawn to the pots section especially the ones on sale. All the best 🌱Chip
@isobeldunn1866 yes it’s raining here in Yorkshire too and it’s making all the green pop in the courtyard 🌱🌳✅ looking very fresh indeed 🌱 enjoy your rainy day 🌱 Chip
Yeah,so l believe. Lol....my son lives in West Yorkshire in Horsforth 😁 ......so quite often we get same weather. Lol.......anyway.....it's good to have a few drops of ghe liquid sunshine TOO 💦🌻🌻🌻@ChipsGreenWorld
Hi Sarah, thanks for your lovely comments. Thought I should help out with the digging and planting and let chip do the creative stuff. Have a lovely gardening week. 🌳🌳🌳🍀🍀🌾🌾🌾🤗🤗😀👍
Hi Sarah thanks for your message. Yes gypsy boy did a great job with the box. I think hostas being in pots helps, also I put sharp gravel on the surface of the pots. But still from time to time they will get eaten. I suppose it comes with having hostas. I suspect in a couple of weeks more and more holes will appear. Putting gravel around the bottom of the pot really helps. Hope this helps. Have a lovely day. All the best 🌱Chip
Found this wonderful garden searching for ideas for a very small courtyard I shall be moving to soon. It’s beautiful. I wondered how big it is size wise? Mine will be very tiny, about 35ft wide but only 12ft deep so though West facing, no sun really due to surrounding buildings and trees. I’d love to post a photo as I really don’t know where to start with my new garden. But if you have any thoughts on a very shallow garden, it’s just a strip really? I’d be most grateful. It also has a 6x4 shed which I feel is overwhelming. Lots to think about, thanks for sharing your lovely garden.
Hi Paula , thank you that’s so very kind of you and also for your message , mine courtyard is around 15 deep and 20 feet wide, so a bit smaller than yours, it sounds like you have a wonderful project going on and I would love to see pictures 🤠 I may be able to help with some ideas and advice 👍🏼 good luck with it all and have yourself a great day 🌱 Chip
@@ChipsGreenWorld So kind of you to reply, Chip. I’d quite like that extra 2 ft on the depth of my new courtyard to come but your photos do give me such hope and inspiration. I hope to be moved in the next month so will keep in touch and send some some photos. It would be lovely to hear what you think and how I can improve it from what it looks like now. Have a lovely week.
Beautiful shady sanctuary which has given me inspiration for my garden. Great job transforming the boxwood. What brand of hand shears did you use? They seem lovely and sharp. Recent subscriber enjoying your content. Thanks

Hi Chip from NC USA, I was wondering what variety of fern you have so many of? The very upright tall ones. Also what is the purple vine blooming on the fence? The new Garden is looking great.
Hi in NC USA 🇺🇸 thank you for your message the ferns are Shuttlecock ferns they self seeded in my old garden and as they are so beautiful I dug them up potted them and have travelled with me 👍🏼 the vine is Potato vine it also comes in white it is beautiful needs no care making it the ultimate India summer plant Hope that helps , have yourself a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
Hello! I just came upon your video. This courtyard is lovely. In what area are you living, is it a climate that stays warm all year? Enjoy your Gin & Tonic.
Hi Rex and thanks for your message, the fern is a shuttlecock fern this like many of my ferns self seeded in my old garden , and as I love it so much, I dug it up and planted it up with many others for my old Courtyard garden , since has traveled with me in it pot All the best 🌱 Chip
Hi there and thank you for your message, a bench would look fabulous in that space , but it wouldn’t be ideal for sitting and enjoying the view as you would just see the back of the house where we do have a lovely bench against the house wall looking forward onto this fabulous courtyard view, and as a bonus it gets the sunshine for most of the day 🤠 a much nicer spot 👍🏼 I will probably so more on this end of the courtyard as the project develops.. all the best and have a wonderful day 🌱 Chip

Awww thank you so much, and your very welcome indeed 🤠 all the best 🌱 Chip
Beautiful as always ❤️ Lovely cat...handsome guys...so much work ... thinking I need a smaller garden too...
Hi rina, thanks for your lovely comments, the smaller courtyard space is much more manageable and still great to enjoy. Spud is coming outside more which is nice. Have a lovely gardening week ❤🌳🌳🌳🌾🌾🤗😀👍🐈⬛
Awww, rina so nice of you to say 🤭 giggles. Yes spud is a sweet cat sometimes
Have a wonderful day all the best 🌱Chip
First time to your site. I love your courtyard garden! Spud was the star, however. She definitely approved! 🐈⬛❤
Awww thank you Laura 🤠 that’s really lovely of you to say I will pass it on to Spud 🐈⬛ have a wonderful day and all the best 🌱 Chip
i like the plants among the rocks and mosses. they look very natural. do ferns need a lot of shade? mine aren't growing well.
This is so amazing. I love it
Awww thank you so much Geraldine , that’s really kind of you to say 🤠 much appreciated and have yourself a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
Chip are you a landscaper or a master gardener by trade? I’ve been watching your videos they’re all very inspiring!
Hi Joy I’m so happy to hear that the videos are inspirational to you 🤠 thanks for your message and to answer your question I’m nether , I’m a Designer by trade and now retired and spend most of my time in the garden 🌱 have a wonderful day and all the best 🌱 Chip
HI Chip, I enjoy watching your videos. I'm inspired by your use of pots for trees and ferns and hostas. Where do you find such lovely pots.
Hi and thank you so much for your message. I think the trick with pots is if you go out and see some grab them. You will always fill them. No matter where I go shopping I am always drawn to the pots section especially the ones on sale. All the best 🌱Chip
Oh my WORD.......utterly GORGEOUS 🎉🎉🎉 ........just HAD to subscribe 😃...........B E A U T I F U L 💚💚💚
Awww thank you so much 🤠 you have made my day .. just lovely of you and thank you for joining us .. have yourself a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
@@ChipsGreenWorld thankyouuuu........been raining all day here in Ireland 🫣 think there's MORE than forty shades of green now 😖😂😂😂🌺🌺🌺
@isobeldunn1866 yes it’s raining here in Yorkshire too and it’s making all the green pop in the courtyard 🌱🌳✅ looking very fresh indeed 🌱 enjoy your rainy day 🌱 Chip
Yeah,so l believe. Lol....my son lives in West Yorkshire in Horsforth 😁 ......so quite often we get same weather. Lol.......anyway.....it's good to have a few drops of ghe liquid sunshine TOO 💦🌻🌻🌻@ChipsGreenWorld
Just wonderful chip. Gypsy boy done good too by planting the box. 😊 Why do your hostas look so lush...mine always get eaten by slugs.😢
Hi Sarah, thanks for your lovely comments. Thought I should help out with the digging and planting and let chip do the creative stuff. Have a lovely gardening week. 🌳🌳🌳🍀🍀🌾🌾🌾🤗🤗😀👍
Hi Sarah thanks for your message. Yes gypsy boy did a great job with the box. I think hostas being in pots helps, also I put sharp gravel on the surface of the pots. But still from time to time they will get eaten. I suppose it comes with having hostas. I suspect in a couple of weeks more and more holes will appear. Putting gravel around the bottom of the pot really helps. Hope this helps. Have a lovely day. All the best 🌱Chip
Lovely courtyard 😍
What kind of spray nozzle are you using on your water hose?
Found this wonderful garden searching for ideas for a very small courtyard I shall be moving to soon. It’s beautiful. I wondered how big it is size wise? Mine will be very tiny, about 35ft wide but only 12ft deep so though West facing, no sun really due to surrounding buildings and trees. I’d love to post a photo as I really don’t know where to start with my new garden. But if you have any thoughts on a very shallow garden, it’s just a strip really? I’d be most grateful. It also has a 6x4 shed which I feel is overwhelming. Lots to think about, thanks for sharing your lovely garden.
Hi Paula , thank you that’s so very kind of you and also for your message , mine courtyard is around 15 deep and 20 feet wide, so a bit smaller than yours, it sounds like you have a wonderful project going on and I would love to see pictures 🤠 I may be able to help with some ideas and advice 👍🏼 good luck with it all and have yourself a great day 🌱 Chip
@@ChipsGreenWorld So kind of you to reply, Chip. I’d quite like that extra 2 ft on the depth of my new courtyard to come but your photos do give me such hope and inspiration. I hope to be moved in the next month so will keep in touch and send some some photos. It would be lovely to hear what you think and how I can improve it from what it looks like now. Have a lovely week.
Clearly Spud observes and has opinions. 😄
Beautiful shady sanctuary which has given me inspiration for my garden. Great job transforming the boxwood. What brand of hand shears did you use? They seem lovely and sharp. Recent subscriber enjoying your content.
Thanks

Awww thank you Suzie 🤠 much appreciated 🌱 Chip
I am thrilled to see you back online. The courtyard is not only beautiful, but inspiring to the viewers out here. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Awww thank you Carole that’s so kind of you to say, and very much appreciated, have yourself a magical day and all the best 🌱 Chip
Hi Chip from NC USA, I was wondering what variety of fern you have so many of? The very upright tall ones. Also what is the purple vine blooming on the fence? The new Garden is looking great.
Hi in NC USA 🇺🇸 thank you for your message the ferns are Shuttlecock ferns they self seeded in my old garden and as they are so beautiful I dug them up potted them and have travelled with me 👍🏼 the vine is Potato vine it also comes in white it is beautiful needs no care making it the ultimate India summer plant
Hope that helps , have yourself a wonderful day 🌱 Chip

Hello! I just came upon your video. This courtyard is lovely. In what area are you living, is it a climate that stays warm all year? Enjoy your Gin & Tonic.
Hi there and thank you for your message, I’m in Yorkshire in the UK so no not warm enough .. and very cold wet snowy winters , all the best 🌱 Chip
Exquisite! Please share the name of the beautiful upright fern (the tallest of the ones you installed today)? Thank you
Hi Rex and thanks for your message, the fern is a shuttlecock fern this like many of my ferns self seeded in my old garden , and as I love it so much, I dug it up and planted it up with many others for my old Courtyard garden , since has traveled with me in it pot
All the best 🌱 Chip
@@ChipsGreenWorld Thanks so much!
I THINK A CUTE ENGLISH BENCH WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE BACK IN THERE .
Hi there and thank you for your message, a bench would look fabulous in that space , but it wouldn’t be ideal for sitting and enjoying the view as you would just see the back of the house where we do have a lovely bench against the house wall looking forward onto this fabulous courtyard view, and as a bonus it gets the sunshine for most of the day 🤠 a much nicer spot 👍🏼 I will probably so more on this end of the courtyard as the project develops.. all the best and have a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
💚🌞
Thank you 🤠 have a great one 🌱 Chip
