This may sound odd, but i like the way he slaps his plants around, most gardeners are so delicate with them your almost afraid to touch them let alone grow them. AND ,he is probably the most knowledgeable gardener i,ve watched.
I loved the gardener. I was simply attracted to his enthusiasm, his quirkiness, and his knowledge. I so enjoyed this video. I need some shade plants and am grateful I found this video.
Thank you, I watch each and every episode of your you tube films with such a wide grin on my face! I learn such a lot from your vids and love your 'give it a go' attitude, it's how I garden myself.
That Hot Chocolate hydrangea is STUNNING!!! Perfect place for it but I hope it doesn’t get lost as the front plants get bigger. Absolutely gorgeous 🌿🌟🌿
You are very generous with your knowledge, and are able to show us how the plants grow in their spaces, and what plants strive in shade I am so grateful to you. Thank you.
Wow! I accidentally found your video and I was so happy to found you. I loved all the plant you have shown. You have a great talent in combining theme. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much - this is exactly what I was looking for as I have so much shade in my garden and I’ve been fighting it rather than embracing - I’m going to search out Fatsia Japonica, the anemone, hydrangea, rodgersia and the bamboo. Love your style too!
So lush , so green , so many happy plants , the garden is truthfully gorgeous. The blending colours , formation of leaves shapes and various height are creating such harmonious and attractive garden . I really love your work and thank you for your inspiration and tutorial ideas how to blend the colours with different species from Far East
Glad you mentioned yew. I put 5 small bushes in. I plan to be long lived so I will patiently wait for them to grow. Nice contrast of pale green new growth with dark green old growth.
I LOVE your Shady Garden! I have lots of what you have in my back yard... Ive been looking for the right hydrangea,, of course!!!, , Japanese Chocolate.... Id love more flowers in my shady garden/ thanks..
Wow, your shade garden really breaks the rule of regular go around shade plants. Your plants are light, colorful ... and so fluffy... Can you come to my home in Indiana and do this kind of miracle.? that is so nice. I like your knowledge and spike about moving in your garden space. you are overflowing with charm and it goes over into your garden space.
Thank you, I enjoyed this video very much, I have a shady area in my front garden about 30 feet long , it is north facing and am going to incorporate some of the plants you have mentioned here in this video. It is sheltered by my neighbors planting which is causing the shade really but you have to work with what you've got. I have only just developed a love of gardening. Someone told me gardening was cheaper than therapy and they were so right. I get so much enjoyment from my garden. A work in progress and I am learning as I'm going. I love the feel of the soil and totally understand your enthusiasm, it is totally addictive. Only just found you and am binge watching your videos.
You have got yourselves one great channel. I don’t believe I watched you before but I had to subscribe to you and I don’t know win but now I will be looking out for you. Your knowledge is deep and vast but not worn on your sleeve like some know it all. Can’t wait to binge watch you pick your brain some point. Thanks for doing this I hope you’re well
A fellow gardener I can totally relate to!Too bad you don’t live here in Eugene, Oregon you would fit in completely to our quirky little gardening community of plant fanatics
Dear John, I am so amazed by your work, the simple, pleasant, very informative way to bring a beginner gardener like me up to speed. I learned so much in just a few moments. I wonder if you could maybe share some advice for my tiny roof garden, facing west, but catching some sunlight from early afternoons. Wind is my big problem for now. I deeply admire your secret garden. It shows your kindness, good heart and stunning knowledge of growing.
Another brill video. I moved my spotted laurel because it was growing over some other things and the place it ended up was shadier yet it surprised me by growing even better, it's covered in small flowers this Spring so I'm expected a few berries later.
I love your videos so much, John Lord. Many of the plants you show are unfamiliar to me. Now...I only really know what I've happened to grow myself, but I'm also wondering if a good number of your plants need a more temperate climate like you have in Ireland than what I have in The US in Connecticut? I'm in zone 7A.
What a work of art in the shady garden. Love it! The Japanese anemone are gorgeous - so annoying in NZ they have gone crazy in my garden and need to be dealt to.
Very beautiful garden, i like how you put altogether such contrasting colors and textures around your garden. I wonder if you fertilize them regularly to keep them in good health? Thanks for sharing...
American weather makes a lot of these plantings difficult to impossible. And I continue to be amazed at the plants we share, but John’s versions are five or six times bigger than I have ever grown, or ever seen in an American botanical garden.
This may sound odd, but i like the way he slaps his plants around, most gardeners are so delicate with them your almost afraid to touch them let alone grow them. AND ,he is probably the most knowledgeable gardener i,ve watched.

Just love the way he wades through the garden, and owns to the fact that not everything in his garden works! Lots of fun!
I love that you touch all your plant’s! ❤️
Lovely garden. Thanks for sharing.
My God so much variety....Really love your garden...
Beautiful garden! I love the way all the plants are crowded
together.
Great selection of well grown plants there. Those darker leaved Hydrangeas were glorious.
What a lovely shady garden and great presentation! Thank you
Must be a lot of shade in Japan! I lost it then lol. Great video and I love your enthusiasm.
Loving this garden, its lovely; thanks for a great upload.
I love how you are drawn to touch with love each of your plants.
Your great enthusiasm is very encouraging. Wonderful passion.
Thank you for the great tips! Will use them in my garden this year. May I say your garden is GORGEOUS.
Lots of hard work and I love your enthusiasm .
I love your garden and enthusiasm. Thank you so much for all tips regarding shade loving shrubs and plants. You've been a great help
Thank you, I watch each and every episode of your you tube films with such a wide grin on my face! I learn such a lot from your vids and love your 'give it a go' attitude, it's how I garden myself.

So so useful for an amateur like me trying to plan a shady north facing patch of garden. Thank you so much!
I just love this guy ! 😊

Would love to know too have u found out???
I love you! Thank you!

Hi @carolrose4784
Another brill video. I moved my spotted laurel because it was growing over some other things and the place it ended up was shadier yet it surprised me by growing even better, it's covered in small flowers this Spring so I'm expected a few berries later.
Good informative video John. Able to take it in ...despite the background muzak. Cheers from Wicklow.
Brilliantly showing how to use Shade .
Love the accent ♥️
interesting using mahonia with anemone- with rodgersia...
You are so entertaining; 2020- common milkweed, smooth black haw and hobblebush! Go corpus callosum!
Utmost blessings!
I love your videos so much, John Lord.
Many of the plants you show are unfamiliar to me. Now...I only really know what I've happened to grow myself, but I'm also wondering if a good number of your plants need a more temperate climate like you have in Ireland than what I have in The US in Connecticut? I'm in zone 7A.
Beautiful garden! Maybe you could do a video on container gardening sometime!
What a work of art in the shady garden. Love it! The Japanese anemone are gorgeous - so annoying in NZ they have gone crazy in my garden and need to be dealt to.
Tanaman hias yang unik
Very beautiful garden, i like how you put altogether such contrasting colors and textures around your garden. I wonder if you fertilize them regularly to keep them in good health? Thanks for sharing...
Informative video on its own ... doesn't need the sound track.
Love the Fatsia Japonica, beautiful green shiny leaves. What about a Hosta in the bare spot?
The gorgeous John xxx
that helps me greatly wtih plant selection for a shady development, i am starting
Grand video. any chance you could do a Video about green walls and the plants to go with them
Lovely
Superb
Thank you for your great advice and for sharing your tips. May I ask you the name of Persicaria in this video, please? Thanks again
Also want to know!
Thank you very much , very useful
Love your garden! It’s very beautiful. What’s the name of the red leaves next to the golden bamboo?
Hoping one day you will write a book soon.
😀😀😀 funny 🤣🤣🤣
Hi @tineejohnston9737 How are you doing?
American weather makes a lot of these plantings difficult to impossible. And I continue to be amazed at the plants we share, but John’s versions are five or six times bigger than I have ever grown, or ever seen in an American botanical garden.
Hi john can you divide Japanese anemones in early spring?
nice video and beautiful contrasts, Which is the name of the red -leafed plant next to the viridistriated bamboo.thx
Did you ever find out? I'm looking for the name also
all of those plants are widely used in the Dutch gardens.
