- You often don't think of enjoying a garden in winter, but if you design a garden for all seasons-then you can enjoy it for all seasons! During the first snow in the Finger Lakes, we visited the Mullestein Winter Garden at Cornell Botanic Gardens to glean ideas for growing an all season garden.

Thanks for the winter garden tour. 👍
I decided to save this video to watch on New Year’s Eve, and it’s as magical and wonderful as I anticipated. I live in zone 4a 🇨🇦 where we typically get snow from November to April, so winter interest is a huge consideration for my yard. I’m inspired to find more small trees and shrubs with greater bark interest, and I’m definitely going to add a weeping white spruce to my 2022 plant list. Thank you for always providing informative and gorgeous videos that encourages me to look beyond the familiar.
A winter garden is magical. This one is beautiful. Thanks for the video I enjoyed this one.
Really digging the long form tours! Packed with so many varieties, ideas and tips.
fantastic video. beautifully done. very educational. thank you.
Thank you!! This video is amazing. There is an antidote to the depression of winter...find your joy. It is a choice to make joy over the blues of winter!!
What a beautiful garden and In Winter!
What a beautiful video! It would be so lovely to see this garden in different seasons to see how much these plants change throughout the year.
This garden is gorgeous and the video has shaped my garden goals for 2023. ❤ I wish more garden centres had winter interest sections
Survival/Camping tip. The dead branches at the bottom of spruces and firs make great kindling for starting a fire, and in winter it's usually the only dry material available because everything else is covered in snow.
A true inspiration to add more plants for winter interest to make my garden a standout in all four seasons.
Instant 'Like' - OK, 2 mins. What's not to like about a winter interest garden?! Spring, summer and autumn/fall are easy - no reflection on you Summer ;-) - and that Acer griseum is to die for! And only 20-ish years old. Fantastic.
Great episode
:) None taken! And yes, that Acer was very impressive. We took a few other notes on others. A couple birches didn't make the [edit] cut, but they were GORGEOUS.
@@summerrayneoakes Only just got to the end - I repeat: great episode! What a great garden - it is kinda my "lottery win" ideal - along with a carnivorous plant garden and a tropical garden, an arid garden, a shingle garden, and a temperate forest. Too many zones, not enough time
Beautiful winter garden! Thank you for sharing. I love perennial plants for giving structure, form to the landscaping and Enjoy all year long!
Beautiful winter garden, thanks for sharing!!!
This summer you inspired me to look at my conifers differently. This winter video inspired me so much! We have snow for 6 months and it can be terribly dreary. But this tour has made me think differently. I need to look at the garden with different eyes this year. Get some bark happening. Thanks for the inspiration flockers😊♥️
Love this visit in winter. Appreciating nature in all seasons makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for making this great video!
You're most welcome. Thank you for taking time to watch.
About cutting back buxus: They can really tolerate a lot of cut back. Here in Germany, during the last years, Cydalima perspectalis, the moth that you talket about at around 42:00, was destroying a lot of the local buxus. What can help is to not cut your buxus to super-dense forms, but instead let them grow out, so there’s lots of space between the branches for birds to go in, they’ll eat the larvae that eat down the buxus otherwise from inside where the birds can’t reach them when the buxus is cut to form with a dense surface. Almost the same for buxus that’s already hit with Cydalima perspectalis: Cut it way back, so the branches have enough open space in between them when the leaves grow back.
Thanks for the great tips. Really appreciate the additive knowledge.
Lovely to enjoy the winter garden.
You two vibe reallyy well
Thank you thank you FFL for visiting this. As a native of Rochester, NY now living in ND, and a planstman, this was such an informing video. I spent much time toggling from the video to searching for the varities/cultivars mentioned to see what growing zone they were. I have a few of them in my own yard. At the 28 minute or so there is the weeping Serbian Spruce, which I believe is like the Gotelli Weeping Serbian Spruce I have in my own yard, one planted, one containerized and overwintered under insulation blanket along with other nursery stock. I had never visited the Cornell Botanic Gardens before I moved in 2011, so this was such an uplift for a homesick western new yorker. I do hope you will revisit this winter garden as the spring bulbs begin to appear. I do have some zone 5 Japanese maples in my yard, like bloodgood, Autumn moon, or moongold. They are planted in-ground, overwintered covered completely by mulch. I have had them since 2016. Here in Bismarck we are a zone 3b/4a. So excited for Spring, right now we have had two weeks of below zero to -20 before wind chill has been factored.
I so enjoyed this, saved it to my Arboretum plants folder. I'm 63 and hope to start planting for the garden my daughter and Grans will inherit. Not to mention the joy I'll get hopefully for some time to come =^)
Epic landscape! So cool to see a selection that's geared towards winter interest. Textural contrast, odd growth patterns, and winter color? Killer. Thank you for the highlight.
Thanks for sharing this winter garden! I enjoy seeing snow in the landscape and this is probably the only way I’ll see snow. I’m in zone 9b and we’ve been in the mid 80’s.
Same here! I'm in zone 8 and we are just now getting dips into the 20's spontaneously. No winter here, love seeing this beautiful landscape ❤️
Fantastic episode!!! So many wonderful ideas for the winter landscape, super inspiring😀 I really hope to find some of these beautiful and interesting trees and shrubs.
As
So many fascinating species. Just Awesome
Happy New Year, Summer!
I’ve cut my box woods really hard into cloud pruning….what an opportunity guys to make some beautiful topiary and cloud pruning ❤❤
That's a beautiful winter garden! Btw, coppicing is also used to produce firewood.
For feeding farm animals, too!
Spruce/ fir tend to look clumsy if lower branches are removed. Keeping the base weedless (without shade) is essential if you want to retain dense needles in the bottom. Removing the whole tree is usually a good option, fill the base with new evergreens as mentioned here in the video, or a more exotic alternative is to window prune the complete tree to make it asymmetric. Such a drastic pruning should be spread over few years.
Extremely vibrant diversity in plants and colors there, with both your knowledges, bounce off eachother with info well, amazing everything here. Great flow, infinite info. Thank you for your service
Awesome video. As a gardener I’m always looking for winter interest shrubs, trees, etc. This video is so exciting with all the trees and shrubs. I’ve shared it to a FB garden group who will certainly appreciate it as well.
Cool!!
So inspiring 💚 the photography. When I moved into my current home the previous owner told me you’re going to love the winter here and she was right it’s so peaceful and beautiful in the snow. Loved the garden tour, and the variety of plants although every time she spoke of pruning this and that I’m thinking …..not for me…I need slow growing with less maintenance. Thanks for another great video!
Love that you did this video. I too watch Brit garden shows. Nice to see plants for northern climates. Now where to source the plants?
This was beautiful. Thank you so much for the ideas here. Is there any chance of seeing an episode on rhododendron and/or azalea maintenance? That would be so useful and interesting.
All you need is a dog! ☺️
As a 2002 baby I appreciate when she says the maple were planted in 2001 so they are not very old.
I just love this since I live in a place like this! I love your questions! I love all the tours with experts that you do!! I am learning so much!
Wonderful tour! Here in WA state, in early/mid winter, we have a bank of winter blooming heather, white, pink, and lavender color which is very nice and the pieris buds are fattening up, very pretty.
I wonder whether that winter garden is also interplanted with bulbs or other perenials that fill in and add interest at other times of year? So beautiful!
A wonderful Winter tour without all that light and noise pollution so common in Botanical Gardens this time of year. I love the idea of Mt. Laurel added but would avoid Rhododendron. Rhododendron are so overused. I would flirt with adding Viburnum, Ninebark, Heather and Species rose. Amongst those witch hazel, I would try to establish Viola rosacea and snow drops. The will lend themselves to a nice discovery view. Now the V. rosacea is what my plant was labeled but am unsure of the labels correctness. I get these wonderful pinkish rose blooms on this perennial viola that don't seem bothered by the light snow dustings at the end of winter. Been wanting to get some snow drops amongst them.
Love your videos! Everything is so interesting! Love your winter cap Summer, where did you get it, if you don’t mind me asking. 💕 I look forward to watching more!
Nice

How does cutting back rejuvenate, what is the message or help for the plant? It seems very mysterious but explains why we have deer and plants which respond in that way. I see that 'cutting back' in parks.
Cutting back encourages new growth, which is generally brighter and more colourful than 'aged' growth, which becomes woody - so duller. As a general rule of thumb plants like the Dogwoods will have approx one third of the shoots removed every 3 yrs to encourage new growth. (The oldest growth being cut, if it isn't obvious).
@@Neilhuny Thanks.
