This must be the best shade garden I've ever seen. Superb use of form, texture, and colour. And I so love all your videos - Brian is brilliant at asking the questions we'd love to if we could. So thanks to Brian too!😁
Thanks for the love! ❤️
Best part is seeing Bryan’s garden. It makes us feel normal that he is like the rest of us. Can’t wait to see the curve 😀😂 love you both and the amazing garden
Yes. Lol
9:15 The gardeners commentary is very good. The filter is so negative with his comments. Very good info given with the plant names , very informative. Thanks
I love the grasses, l can’t wait to to see mine get that size. The rocks are charming as a wall.
Thanks Carol!
Gorgeous garden layout! . I had to move my Japanese Hakonechloa grass from the shade into more sun. I hope it does better next year ! I am going to invest in a couple of frost cloths to see if it helps prevent the zapping of the hydrangea buds in the spring. It’s such a shame to lose those beautiful flowers. It did help when I put burlap on top of one of the shrubs.
More of your beautiful garden! Love the hostas and that big boulder brings in such great interest! Thanks for sharing with us.❤🌱🌷🌻
Your shade garden is magnificent, and the rock wall is beautiful. I can’t wait to see it finished. Rock walls always add character to the landscape. Brian’s garden is looking pretty good too! It has a few weeds, but what garden doesn’t, right? You two are so funny together. I watch your videos and laugh out loud just about every time. My husband probably thinks I’m sitting out here drinking. Thanks for all you share!
Haha! Glad we can give you something to laugh about! Bryan will get that garden in shape (or I will 😉 I kind of feel like rescuing it)
Yes you're right. I'm rolling my eyes. No other channel that I watch used words that you use. But I watch because of Shelley's enthusiasm over her amazing gardens.
Thanks Dean… ❤️ 😊
your hostas collection is breathtaking!! they're so lush!! garden envy for sure!
Beautiful shade garden & love the rock wall. I can only imagine how beautiful the other side of the rock wall will b planted up.
Such a beautiful garden!
Btw…love the stone wall!
You are right, we don’t like to wait! Lol I so enjoy your gardens and aspire to have a sun and shade garden like yours. They are beautiful! Lol I’m a bit older and don’t have the time to wait. But I will. So as you say, I want to see a mature garden now. Love your videos. Thank you.
Your hosta beside Elegans could be Spartacus…lovely tour!!
What great filming techniques your husband uses! he makes the video with his obvious hard work on the camera and so generous with the cost of your over indulgence in pant purchases lol lol
plant
Your shade garden is perfect for me!!! In Russia we also love shade gardens.
The black color on your home looks great!
Always love looking at your gardens. You’ve done a wonderful job. All the hard work and love of what you do shows. Brian’s wall is looking good. It’s nice he takes an interest in the garden too.
I love your excitement! Your garden is glorious!
Absolutely gorgeous gardens, i love all you do.
You have a great eye for design! Love your videos. Can't wait for updates on Brian's garden😊
You two are so funny. Your hubby is very sarcastic reminds me of someone I used to know. Loved it. And you are the cutest little thing ever. Love your garden. I'm 75 and rent and my son lives 20 minutes away on 2 acres. Three years ago they told me I could come garden. They had two apple trees in their front yard and 6 blueberry bushes. My daughter in law was given some plants for free and I went from there creating separate garden areas. My son had gotten lots of bricks and pavers for free and I have been using those for garden edging. It has been so fun for me and a good way to get outside. They let me do whatever I want and I buy the plants. They get snow so my gardening time is from about April until November but this year it has been so hot this summer that I can't go there. I get over heated so starting this week I will be back preparing for winter. They also have a giant maple tree down by the creek which is a beautiful area with ferns. I hope to make stairs going down there and clear it up a little. Gardening makes my life feel worthwhile at my age. I do wish I had my own place but cannot afford that. I am just thankful to get to transform their yard.
How nice of you that you are investing your time and energy into your family’s property! I can imagine you would love your own space to makeover but it’s nice that you have 2 acres to create some masterpieces on. The heat gets to me also… usually we have short term heat spikes where I simply cannot work in it but I completely understand that limitation. Love your idea of the stairs to the creek. Gardeners are very creative people. I enjoyed reading your message and vision! Keep up the awesome work!
Shelley and Bryan, you are so good together, and I love your sense of humor. Bryan, the stone wall is looking fabulous, and Shelley, please don't take Bryan's garden privileges away, lol! You guys crack me up! Have a wonderful week! ~Margie😂🤣😂
Holy cow!!!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED this video! Loved the names you put on the screen. And you guys are hilarious together! 🤣. You are great to give us really cool tidbits of information about each plant too… which I so appreciate ❤️. I want to see more of these type videos…. Thank you 🥰🐝🌹🌸🦋❤️
Thank you so much!
Love your garden! It's evident that you work very hard and have a great eye for combinations. I moved from a fully landscaped house to a wild mess. Since.I'm turning 70 this year, I have little patience for waiting. I want it soon! I've developed 2 gardens myself and have had a professional plant my front yard. Next year sections will leap, while others still sleep,
Yes! You get it for sure… there is a lot of joy in transforming spaces… with help or without. Feel free to share your pics of your journey on my Facebook page! Would love to see your progress as the years go on!
Beautiful hosta garden! I had a nice hosta garden on the Cape, down here it's so wicked hot and sunny I only have a couple that struggle to survive. You and Brian have a beautiful piece of property.
Truly beautiful!! Thanks for the tour!!!
Love your videos! You can tell you really know what you are talking about!
❤❤❤this was one of the best garden videos.. you and Bryan's enteraction is priceless
Your channel is the most user friendly and relatable.. thank you
Your Hostas are loving life , wow , absolutely beautiful and I can see how proud you are , as you should be. My backyard is in sun for most of the day and I can’t create a shade border, I love 💕 shade gardens ,soso calming to me
There really is something so peaceful about shade gardens! ❤️
Gorgeous!
🌿🌱🍀🍃PRETTY ‼️🍃🍀🌱🌿
Thank you 😊😊
Beautiful shade garden. Inspiring.
Beautiful garden that could only happen from you and your cute and charming dog. I don’t know who the negative guy is, but I guess he’s a good assistant and helper.
Love your gorgeous gardens thank you for another tour inspiring me more and more. Love the hostas and the coneflowers
This video came at the perfect time! I shared an older shade garden video with my sister yesterday and then this one appeared. We went plant shopping this morning and scored 2 "Big Daddy" hosta!! We were so excited. Thank you for being so inspiring and sharing your beautiful yard. Sending love from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. P.S. Don't tell hubby but we think he is a hoot lol.
How fun!! That’s awesome! Thanks for the comment! ❤️
Love the shade garden and my hats off to Bryan on his stone wall,,Awesome!!
The shade garden is such an inspiration, really love that one. The stone wall is fabulous too, don't forget to tuck some nice plants in the cracks, fleabane comes to mind, I love that stuff, just my 2 cents. How's Lily lane coming along.? My brother has racing and show pigeons, he said a snake got into the coop, the mother pigeon spread her wings in the snake so it couldn't get her babies.
Love that idea! Lily Lane is coming slowly… lots of blooms on the two scapes that I’ve been watching and they are gorgeous and huge. I have three more scapes that I’m waiting to mature so I will be sure to post what those look like! Amazing about the pigeons. She knows how to protect… snakes are so creepy and cool. 😅 I know they’re great for gardens but eek… they also creep me out occasionally!
@@GuidingGreenThumbs
Snakes, I've always said, I don't even want see one the sz of a #2 pencil, I really do not like them. Hope you share the lilies here, I don't fb or instagram, if zuckerberg owns it's, I'm not on it. Hope you guys get some rain, here on the shore in Maryland, we've had our share, and I think the states that aren't getting any.
Definitely cracks me up! You never know what you might hear on these videos! Amazing, beautiful, creative.... never get tired of your gardens! Brian's questions are helpful and his additions and filming are great too! Lots of hard work by both of you for sure. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks Amos! 😊
Your garden is beautiful and your Hostas are amazing. I can’t believe you can keep them looking so good in the ground with slugs and deer! I have to keep most of mine in pots for those reasons 😆🌿
This was a great video!! Thank you for naming the plants and providing so much information.
You really inspire me! I often see you and others planting sun plants in shade beds .You touched on that a bit. I would love to know more of your thoughts on that.I love your work.Thank you!
I love everything in your garden
I agree the new perspective of capturing the garden is amazing 🤩 I’m guessing the snakes not poisonous or will not hurt humans
No they are harmless to us… luckily!
Bryan, your garden looks good! Just needs a little love. The stone wall looks amazing!!
Love the stone wall, looks like what you see in Mass and New Hampshire. Snakes do like those but your snakes aren't like the ones in the South, rattlesnakes, water moccasins, etc. 🙂
Eek! I’m happy with my snakes 😅… I don’t even know how I’d deal with those…rattlesnakes scare me!
@@GuidingGreenThumbs I keep all my birdseed in a small building in the back yard and one day I opened the door to see a snake all curled up and staring at me. I took a pic and sent it to UGA and they said it was harmless. Whew! There are creatures here I never new even existed.🙂
I love that rock wall !
so lovely. Thanks for listing the names of the plants!
Try covering the hydrangea when there are frosts. Your Garden is beautiful!!!
You both are so funny! Love all your family and hard Work!
Thanks Carolyn!
Love your shade garden! You're both very funny people. I mean that in a good way.
Thanks April!
Love your garden
I absolutely adore your garden and style! I was wondering how many Hakonechloa grass plants did you plant to make that huge clump?
Thank you! I always start with 3… I started with 3 of each variety in that shade garden… but it took a good 3 years to really see them start to grow in together and fill out. They are slow to establish but once they do… they take right off!
🌱🌼💕
@@GuidingGreenThumbs I love your gardens and videos, and am salivating over the hakone grass! I tried to grow it here in the Houston area because it says it can grow in zone 9, but was not able to keep it properly watered when I was out of town, so it couldn't establish itself and all died out, sadly!
If you want your cherry explosion hydrangea to bloom next season try the growers trick. When fall comes before the frost tie the wood in a huddle like you stake your peonies then get some type of chicken wire and create a tube cage around the plant taller than the plant, then stuff the cage from bottom to top and over the top of the hydrangea with the fallen leaves , you can use a broom handle to push the leaves down to the bottom as you fill carefully around the plant . In the spring after all possible chance of frost, cut the ties holding the tube together and unwrap your present and use your blower and clear the leaves carefully not breaking your buds off pull loose leaves away from the plant. I want a picture of all your beautiful blooms next summer!🌸
Thank you!! This sounds amazing and will def give it a try! ❤️
Also add Rose Tone by Espoma in early spring and early summer.
You two are gorgeous, lots of love from Australia. Shade garden beautiful, & stone wall.
Hallo. thanks for your nice videos :) 3 tips form Denmark : very nice hostas: war paint and empress wu and I think that Bryan need something big in his garden a Gunnera manicata.
Love your channel!💕
Your garden looks great! Isnt this year so weird compared to last year? I live in Southern Maine and last year we had so much rain I never had to water! And there were so many mushrooms everywhere it was crazy. This year we are now in a severe drought. I think your Coneflowers in part shade will flower. I planted 3 Cheyenne Spirit Coneflowers in part shade last year and only got one flower but the leaves grew great. Then this year they are blooming like crazy. So excited about the Monarchs I am seeing on my Milkweed. Thanks to you I bought some Dill seeds for next spring for the Swallowtails. Also thanks to you I have 2 huge Daylily seed pods curing from crosses I am trying. I've learned so much from you. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip on the coneflowers, maybe I’ll leave them another year to see what happens. And yes- entirely opposite years! I really got spoiled last year with not having to water…. This years drought seems magnified because of that! You’ll love adding the dill- I’m so happy when I see the little guys on there eating away…. It’s such a joy! Good luck with the daylily seeds! It’s so fun to make your own crosses! Keep me posted!
I really enjoy your videos!❤️🙏🏽❤️
Woke up this morning and discovered your channel. I’m very impressed with the shade tour and wish I had the eye to create a garden like this. I will check out a few more videos and start subscribing. I’d love to know your story. Good work
I have a Facebook page that I’ve blogged on for years: facebook.com/GreenThumbDesigner
I have been gardening for 12 years… started with all lawn and have worked through lots of trials and errors to learn proper placement, design and soil health. I’ve learned so much through my journey that it’s become a way of life for me. ❤️
Wonderful specimen of curly fries
Love your shade garden...your combination of foliage with the various colors, textures and size is gorgeous. Could you use a cloth cover over the hydrangeas in early spring to protect the buds from getting damaged from early frosts? I’m asking because I’m also in zone 5 and have some hydrangeas that produce beautiful foliage but no blooms.
Thanks!
Firstly,you are adorable.
But that’s not my point!
Hostas are a plant of wonder,in my zone,6B,they flourish,northside,the empress Wu is the envy of my neighbors,but I give cuttings to any and all who ask,in the spring.
Also,in the spring,when they poke up from the ground,they are delicious!!
As long as you don’t fertilize or pesticide,a hosta shoot is like a baby romaine heart,it’s heaven!!
You have the most beautiful garden. One I aspire to have but struggle really badly to get mine to grow to a decent size. I blame that on my neighbor who has a black walnut tree in his yard and I'm not sure where it's roots go to in comparison to my gardens.
Love it!
Loved your video, what a gorgeous garden! To answer Brian's question, don't snakes lay eggs, so when you see a bulge, it's only food, not pregnancy😀
Wow, such good looking plants and flowers,! Loving your garden so much dear! I might do this design in the future…Oh not as beautiful as your garden though but kind of similar if I have the time. 😂😂😂
Yall are funny with your bantering!!!@😂
Hi Shelley I wonder if you could swap the hydrangeas for the new reblooming varieties? That way you don’t have to worry about late freeze, I recommend Let’s Dance Can Do it’s just beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your garden is an inspiration 👌
Yes! I have actually started plugging in the ones that bloom on old and new wood like Onyx Peacock and such…. Although had no blooms on those this year and they have reliably bloomed for the last 3 years. We had very little rain this year which could’ve contributed too. ❤️
Beautiful garden😍😍😍
Absolutely gorgeous! I would love some of that beautiful grass. Never seen it before. Where are you located?
NY zone 5b near Albany
Beautiful
I was doing really good with spraying with deer repellent this year and they were actually staying away ,but then my rose of Sharon came in Bloom and they must just go nuts for the blooms because now I'm having to spray the blooms also 😭
So frustrating!! I’ve had to do that also… 😓
Yes I wonder what the snakes fart smells like too😂😂😂So funny
First time watching and I LOVE your shade garden. Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I absolutely adore the the snail sculpture that is peeking out by the H. Sagae hosta around the 3 min mark. Do you know if there is an online resource to purchase these?
I purchased the snail from a vendor at the CT Flower show in February…. He makes all sorts of things. He doesn’t have a website, his whole business is traveling to shows. 😊
Beautiful shade garden!!!! I just found your channel today and I heard you say a couple of times you are zone 5 but wondering where you are located. Your property is beautiful!!!
Thanks Lori, we’re Upstate NY zone 5b outside of Albany 😊
Your shade beds are so full and beautiful! You have quite a collection of hostas. Was it hard to establish these beds under trees with all their roots?
It was not hard at all. I have not had problems with the tree roots. I did build up the soil because our native soil is hard clay so it got amended but luckily the roots are deep enough not to bother the plants.
Beautiful garden! Do you grow any particular type of grass? It's so green and looks great with the beds.
Lawn grass or the grass in the shade garden? Our lawn is all weeds haha, we have such hard clay that we just let whatever will Grow, grow. Keep it at 3” mowed and it looks decent.
The shade garden grass is Japanese Hakone grass 😊
What a beautiful shade garden. How do you control the deer from eating the hostas? We are trying to develop a wooded area with a deer trail. Thank you!
A big dog to chase them during the day and Liquid Fence Deer and Rabbit Repellent consistently applied during the season. :-)
Wanna see a video of Brian weeding his garden.
My husband was a Snake Catcher, & a snake's jaws drop down to extend the size of the meal.
Snake poo is like dog poo. Lots of snakes in Qld, OZ.
That big rock is awesome!!! Where does a person purchase a big rock like that? I live on flat farmland…. No boulders. 😢
That was dug up during excavation when the house was built. It was actually bigger! The rock in the other shade garden is a piece that broke off of it! We also have a rock quarry near us that people can buy boulders at… probably be quite a hike for you! 😊
I sometimes pinch my sedums too and plant the clippings for more plants to share
Good point!
I thought about coming down today to weed your husband’s garden! Seriously! Lol!
Haha! It needs a good two hours of my help! Maybe a Sunday cleanup is in store!
Try, try, try again... those coneflowers from seed. My daughter gave me some plants last year and that made up for my failure!
Can i ask where you buy all the different Hosta? I bought two from Home depot this year and they didn't even have tags. Great Video...... as usual!
I used to buy from Naylor Creek but they aren’t around anymore. A great place to buy is New Hampshire Hostas… they will Ship and are amazing to deal with and offer 2 gallon sizes on some of the big ones! Great customer service and shipping as well.
@@GuidingGreenThumbs oh that’s great, thanks for the tip. I loved the video I have so much shade now that I have to adjust. I can’t wait to see what you do in the woodlands.
That Golden Russian comfrey is hard to find online.
Absolutely gorgeous shade garden.. loved the information but cameraman’s chatter was a distraction.
Amazing shade garden. Love the video!!
You mentioned that you use neptunes harvest on specific plants only…. Which ones would that be?
The fish and seaweed emulsion, it’s the one with a Teal colored label
Thanks!! Which plants do you use it on? Only certain ones or all of them in the shade garden?
How do you get around the roots from the large trees? I would love to do this in my yard but there are large roots everywhere! Your yard is definitely my dream!!
I built up the soil originally about 8-12” when planting and honestly have never had trouble digging. The roots are deep enough and not near the surface that I’ve been able to plant. ❤️
35:44 please if you have time let me know what purple flowers you helped Brian plant so you can help me as well. They are beautiful. I appreciate you both
The purple flowers with the lime foliage is Golden Jubilee Hyssop 😊
"Have you seen the kitchen?" 🤪@20:34
How long did it take the grass in that bed to get big it’s pretty layers judy
Yes, I am waiting for you to start breeding Iris! lolz
Ha! Yes! Maybe this winter will be the iris buying frenzy! 😂
@@GuidingGreenThumbs lol can't wait
What do you use to repel bugs an grasshoppers?? Your hosta are beautiful, thank you
I don’t use any sprays except a deer repellent called liquid fence.
I planted foxglove with my hostas. the dear don't brother mine. And they are right next to the house.
I'm wondering how much sun your coneflower gets. They look great and I just planted a few varieties in my Shady North facing garden and I'm hoping for the best. About how much sun do they get a day?
They get 6 hours of sun and do well. I have some native varieties in the shade garden getting 3-4 hours of sun and they flower but not as much as the ones in full sun. 😊
What spray do you use for deer? They eat everything in my TN garden. Beautiful place!!!!
Liquid Fence Deer and Rabbit Repellent, not foolproof but def helps
My foundation has a lot of shade and is typically moist or wet… what plants are hardy and best?
