Happy Memorial Day Weekend garden friends! Here are the 2 videos I reference in this video: Spring Garden Tour: Japanese Maple Collection & DIY Japanese-Inspired Garden: ua-cam.com/video/iOVoolCFvE0/v-deo.htmlsi=Er41_oGSm9EaHsfX Pruning a Gold Mop False Cypress into a Topiary Tree: ua-cam.com/video/wHvsmtci1Tc/v-deo.htmlsi=EvIG-3ZHVmHXxEGN Thank you all so much for watching! -Steph 🌱
I love your channel, thank you. Thank you for being realistic and not spending a fortune on plants, like proven winners(all the time). I am thankful that you shop at big box stores and all those plants are beautiful. Lately some garden shows are so hyped up about buying proven winners, beautiful as they are , but sometimes not affordable for average gardener. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and realism when shopping for plants. And also your garden show isn't all about what your doing to enhance your gardens. Some garden show like garden answer is to showy, it's all about what projects she is doing and not about old time gardening. I used to like garden answer but it's just not reachable to the average gardener and it gives me anxiety. I love your show because it's more like a realistic garden. Goals that take time etc. Thank you. I have been gardening for 30 years and have a lot but I do what you do and it works. Thank you again
100% agree with you!!! I applaud you for your courage in stating how you feel! I have been wanting to comment something like this on that channel for some time now but people on the internet can be so cruel so I have kept my thoughts to myself. And also agree with the above comment…have stopped watching. Too much anxiety over trying to “keep up” so to speak. It’s all about sponsorships now on a lot of channels…not about teaching gardening. Steph…thanks for being uniquely you! My style of gardening is definitely more in line with yours for sure! Very refreshing! Keep up the great work!!!
Your quick but so clear description of each plant and its growing characteristics is so helpful. I agree. Your voice and presentation is wonderful. I can listen to you all day.
Stephanie, my garden has been invaded by the same grass-like weeds as yours has. I've had no choice but to spend time just about every day attempting to pull the invader out by the roots, but so far they are winning the battle. Grrrrrr
We also had this grass. It got so out of control we had to dig up all of our plants and untangle their roots with the grass. Finally had to use Roundup to get rid of it. The fun part is now I have an empty space ready to be created into a new lovely garden!
I’m thinking that grass is quackgrass. I have it and you have to pull the runner roots to get rid of it. If it is growing in with your grass you will always get it. For me, it’s my pain and will probably always have it. However, very thick mulch helps and when you pull don’t do it on dry dirt, it will just brake off and then come back.
Thank you for the tour of your well-kept and beautiful garden, Steph. Really love your iris,alliums, candy corn spirea and the list goes on and on. I love peony and when I saw your Shirley Temple I thought look at the massive flowers about to open! Your trees are looking magnificent and like the way you have stones bordering your many gardens. Happy Memorial Day! Happy Gardening! I know you are a true gardener ready for anything & persevere always!
Your gardens look amazing.The peach iris is so lovely. I think the grassy weed might be quack grass and it is a formidable foe in the garden as it has a long white root that will just resprout if you don’t get out every inch of it. Also might I add you looked so pretty in your summery dress standing amongst the flowers ❤️🌷🌸🌱Thanks for a great video.
Great video! I'm a new subscriber and a new gardener. I appreciate how precise you are in communicating your garden. I would love to see how you "pick out" your baby foxglove, move it the back and then move again. Sounds crazy and I would love to learn what that looks like. It sounds scary to me as a new gardener. Thank you for sharing the beauty and your passion with me! Your new friend, Kristine
I love love your channel, I’ve just come across you and I am soo happy I did! You’ve given me SO much inspiration for my own garden. I love the colours you choose and the amount of helpful information is much appreciated!
You have inspired me with so many ideas for my garden. I wish my poor old hands wouldn't hurt so bad after working in the glorious dirt. But I continue on! Love your beautiful gardens.
Hi Liz! You are so welcome!! Their Iris are my favorite 😍 I've had a great experience with my orders from them. The rhizomes are always large and healthy 🌱
Your yard is absolutely heaven on earth! I so enjoyed your tour especially the awesome maples! Also, your voice is so easy to listen to! Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend! Thank you!
I'm enjoying your show so very much!!! I can't wait to see your next video!!! Thank you for explaining and showing your ideas for patio and floral decorations!!! It's so fun!!! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Steph! Your irises are just so pretty. Im loving your corals and lilacs . They just make your garden so romantic and easy on the eye. Your variegated cornus is spectacular, along with the spireas you have. Very pretty dress too. Bye for now Jo😊
Oh my! Your garden is absolutely beautiful! Btw, where us your dress from? And what is the yellow conifer behind the maple at 14:33? Is that arborvitae?
Hi there! Thank you so much!! I purchased this dress at Old Navy in the summer of 2022 (their tags tell you the year it was made lol), and the yellow conifers are 'Forever Goldy Arborvitaes'.
All absolutely stunning Steph…. I can’t believe how mature the new J Maple garden is looking. New bench garden under the trees will be beautiful, especially with the 3 variegated shrubs as a backdrop… Just beautiful Steph and George 👏💚💚💚
I look forward to every garden tour - I love all your gardens but I especially love your Japanese Maple and Blue Spruce collections, especially the lollipop blue spruce! Thanks for all the detail you put into your channel♥
I grew up in Maine and now live in NC, so listening to your videos bring back memories of many of the plants I grew up seeing in my grandparents gardens. I am in zone 8b now so I have learned to love other plants that are sun loving. I love your gardens, style, soothing voice, team work with George, and practical approach to gardening. Thank you for another great video.❤
Hi Steph. I've been patiently waiting for a garden tour. Your beds are looking glorious. Love this time of year when all the greenery has that fresh green color💚
Thank you so much! Yes, I will likely cut back that evergreen pretty hard at some point, if not this year, definitely next year, in very early spring so it has time to recover before it gets to warm.
Steph your gardens are beautiful and so joyful!!! I love the happy spirit you bring to each video!!!! You guys have worked so hard!!! It shows!!! God Bless you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stephanie and George thank you for the video. Your Japanese maples are beautiful and so is everything else. I also appreciate your gardening style, you don't do things the rest of us mere mortals can't hope to afford. Your yard is beautiful..
I just found your channel today and LOve it! I watched the video where you switched out your raised beds. I have a small raised bed and a few veggies in pots. Praying for success this season. I will be watching for more tips. Thanks
Robbie, I want to be your neighbor 😉☺️ You are so generous and you are always smiling and laughing. I really enjoy watching your videos every day.❤ Thank you and the containers look beautiful.
Beautiful garden tour! Do you use landscaping fabric in your flower beds? You look so cute, LOVE the red-white-blue dress! Have a happy & safe Memorial weekend 🇺🇸♥️
Beautiful tour of your garden! The very start looks a lot like an area of my front yard I recently created but with a Royalty crab apple tree but underneath the same look with the nepetas. I also just showed my next door neighbor (he just bought some salvia) how to cut it back to get more blooms which I learned from you.....and those pesky blades of grass that pop out here and there I have always considered to be a weed and just pull them out when I see them. Hope you and George and family have a wonderful holiday weekend!
What Zone do you live in? All of your Japanese Maples and the varieties of evergreens you have are stunning. They add such an impact to your landscape.
Hi Stephanie, Absolutely love the garden. So beautiful are all the different colors. Just found your channel and just subscribed! Love how informative it is. What a pleasure to watch you and to learn something new. Thanks !!!!! Have a great holiday.....
Great garden tour! So, many beautiful plants and of course, I love your Japanese maples. I recently got an acer palmatum Summer Gold. It's a one gallon, so small. I enjoy your videos! 😃
It may be nutsedge. Look it up if you have some time. Do not pull it. It spreads. They have either nuts on the roots or ryzomes. Either will spread if not removed completely underground. They do have a spray for them if you want to use that.
I was going to say the same, Nutsedge. @klosettreat I pulled them. When they appeared last year I stupidly thought it was a failed bulb I planted...everywhere? I just pulled a lot of it. I did spray first with brush killer so maybe I warded off some new ones.
Love your garden tours!!! Please consider doing more of them, like biweekly. Just footages of your garden with/without voiceover is fine! I savor your garden tours. I don’t watch it in one go because it finishes too quickly lol
Hi Rosie! Yes, it was exciting. If you aren't able to find one from Southern Living, the Proven Winners variety that I have can be ordered from Home Depot.com. I have ordered several plants from their website and it has worked out well for me. Hope this helps.
Good afternoon. Just a suggestion and I would not know how much it would cost, however you can get a tree nursery to use their tree planter/remover to remove your blue spruce and have them replant it where you think it should go. Not sure if you can do that but I feel it would help you rectify the issue.
Your garden is beautiful. The blue spruce will need to be professionally removed and replanted elsewhere, the sooner the better. Really nice arrangement of your plants!
I just found your channel and love it! I live in 8a Upstate SC. Gosh it’s hot. We didn’t really have a spring. I am a conifer lover!!!! Could you tell me where you get yours from? Some of them probably wouldn’t live here (like the beautiful hemlock) .

Agree with you. I stopped watching Garden Answer already, and some other you Tube channels. All of them are about buying these and buying that. Sad.
I agree with you totally with all your comments, I like this gardening show.
100% agree with you!!! I applaud you for your courage in stating how you feel! I have been wanting to comment something like this on that channel for some time now but people on the internet can be so cruel so I have kept my thoughts to myself.

Agree! I have to garden on a budget and do the labor myself so I am seeking out channels with similar approaches.
Sounds like you’re very bitter and jealous people.
You have such a pleasant speaking voice and I enjoy your videos. So informative also
Your quick but so clear description of each plant and its growing characteristics is so helpful. I agree. Your voice and presentation is wonderful. I can listen to you all day.
Stephanie, my garden has been invaded by the same grass-like weeds as yours has. I've had no choice but to spend time just about every day attempting to pull the invader out by the roots, but so far they are winning the battle. Grrrrrr
Same. New England Zone 6

I love the 'pusch'! It's so cute! Your garden is stunning, Steph! Love your dress and you look so pretty!! 😊
It sooo cute Mary. Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for the tour of your well-kept and beautiful garden, Steph. Really love your iris,alliums, candy corn spirea and the list goes on and on. I love peony and when I saw your Shirley Temple I thought look at the massive flowers about to open! Your trees are looking magnificent and like the way you have stones bordering your many gardens. Happy Memorial Day! Happy Gardening! I know you are a true gardener ready for anything & persevere always!
Your garden/yard is beautiful. I like your format of talking about the plants and reasoning why you planted a plant.
Ok Steph we need a link for your cute dress! Looks like it would be perfect for the 4th of July
Thank you so much Sarah! I got it from old navy in 2022...I remember because I did wear it in a 4th of July Garden Tour that year ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇲
Stunning garden. Thank you!

Hi Stacey! Thank you so much!! Thank you for all of your support. Hope you are having a lovely spring so far 💚
Thanks for sharing your garden with us. I love the colors and textures of your garden. Your voice and presentation is wonderful.
Great video! I'm a new subscriber and a new gardener. I appreciate how precise you are in communicating your garden. I would love to see how you "pick out" your baby foxglove, move it the back and then move again. Sounds crazy and I would love to learn what that looks like. It sounds scary to me as a new gardener.
Thank you for sharing the beauty and your passion with me!
Your new friend, Kristine
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I agree, that is something that new gardeners might be unsure about. 🌱
You have created a Beautiful garden. Thank you for doing Great videos. So informative and inspirational 😊
Steph & George - your gardens are beautiful, thank you !! Let's keep positive replies on this and all channels and remember to be kind.

Hi Steph. I've been patiently waiting for a garden tour. Your beds are looking glorious. Love this time of year when all the greenery has that fresh green color💚
You do such a lovely job describing the plantings…and such a beautiful eye!
Just a thought, maybe take that evergreen up front and lollipop it or collared it instead of moving it. Loved 😍 this tour, so many beautiful plants.
Thank you so much! Yes, I will likely cut back that evergreen pretty hard at some point, if not this year, definitely next year, in very early spring so it has time to recover before it gets to warm.
Steph your gardens are beautiful and so joyful!!! I love the happy spirit you bring to each video!!!! You guys have worked so hard!!! It shows!!! God Bless you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have that same grass popping up mainly in my Iris too…my hubby is convinced that it came in the potting mix I bought at the store…
Absolutely lovely Steph!. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it Susan, thank you so much for watching.
Steph please don’t take that tree out it’s gorgeous!👍🏼👍🏼
Beautiful walk through your garden❤

Beautiful garden tour! Do you use landscaping fabric in your flower beds? You look so cute, LOVE the red-white-blue dress! Have a happy & safe Memorial weekend 🇺🇸♥️
Hi there, I don't use any landscape fabric in my beds. However I do use newspaper and cardboard. Thanks for watching.
Ok thank you so much!!! 💞
Your Japanese Maples are gorgeous! Living in a hot, dry climate, here in Colorado, I could only have one in the shade.
Love your yard!! The combination of plants is fabulous 👍⚜️
Beautiful tour of your garden! The very start looks a lot like an area of my front yard I recently created but with a Royalty crab apple tree but underneath the same look with the nepetas.

Glad to see your Loropetalum made it through the winter. Hopefully I can find one here in NY., or I’ll have to order one from Southern Living.
Hi Rosie! Yes, it was exciting. If you aren't able to find one from Southern Living, the Proven Winners variety that I have can be ordered from Home Depot.com. I have ordered several plants from their website and it has worked out well for me. Hope this helps.
@@HookedandRooted thanks Steph ☺️
Good afternoon. Just a suggestion and I would not know how much it would cost, however you can get a tree nursery to use their tree planter/remover to remove your blue spruce and have them replant it where you think it should go. Not sure if you can do that but I feel it would help you rectify the issue.
I love your detailed info of all your plants :) Subscribed!
Your garden is lovely.
Thank you! I’m taking research papers to my new doc. And showing her your books.
Beautiful as always.
Your garden is beautiful. The blue spruce will need to be professionally removed and replanted elsewhere, the sooner the better. Really nice arrangement of your plants!
Just beautiful ‼️
Love the garden tour, Everything looks stunning in your garden.
The garden is looking so beautiful Steph ❤❤❤ the video as always hon..
Thanks so much Andrea 💚
You must have the perfect climate for Japanese maples. They are gorgeous!
I just found your channel and love it! I live in 8a Upstate SC. Gosh it’s hot. We didn’t really have a spring. I am a conifer lover!!!! Could you tell me where you get yours from? Some of them probably wouldn’t live here (like the beautiful hemlock) .
