How fortunate to have the money to create this lovely garden in 1 1/2 years. Most of us, who love gardens like this, work on our gardens with patience like raising our children from birth to adulthood. There’s a special blessing and satisfaction knowing we spent years to achieve our vision.🌷🌻
Beautiful garden yes but what I really appreciated was the down-to-earth and very calm, human way of being on behalf of the woman doing the interview. I get so sick and tired of people online who are phony and overly enthusiastic about almost nothing at all. By contrast, the interviewer had a friendly and real conversation with the garden owner. Thank you for the breath of fresh air.
Thank you for the kind words, Kristin is passionate about meeting other gardeners! It was such a pleasure to tour Erin's cottage garden, and we love sharing these gardens with you all. Stay tuned for more Talk & Tours on our channel!
I retired from MA to NC two years ago and, while I don't miss the 40+ inches of snow every year, I do miss the quiet beauty of New England... Thank you for a wonderfully nostagic trip back to the region of my birth... I will definitely be trying to mimic this beautiful cottage garden...
@@Usernameblahblahnblah Hi Jo Jo, I have been subscribed to the Creakside channel per the recommendation of Laura from Garden Answers and now, per your recommendation, I have subscribed to Jim Putnam's channel... thank you so much!!!
Oh that is just gorgeous. I can just imagine how beautiful it would be to sit there and have afternoon tea. Her hard work, skill and talent are an inspiration.
I've never wanted someone else's garden so bad as hers. I mean every corner is cozy and I can see my family out there enjoying each other. Life must be good!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Cottage garden. I love doing virtual tours, but it would be amazing to there in person. Lovely, thanks again for sharing.
Isn't it dreamy? 😍 Be sure to read the web article to learn more about her garden design: www.gardengatemagazine.com/articles/garden-design/garden-tours/cottage-garden-charm/
Hello . I"m very really enjoying this video. Your a Blessed couple . He worked so hard on all the projects . Your a Lucky lady . . Take care of each other :)
New to the channel, as a British person I am fascinated by the American style of cottage gardens. I feel the defining shapes and structures are always incredible and ultimately look stunning and yet are so different from British cottage gardens.
As an American who ADORES Great Britain-having been lucky enough to have gone there many times!, I wouldn’t classify this as a traditional “English” garden-which tend to be wild and beautifully “haphazardly” planted for that “specific” effect🙌. This is a very “controlled” tamed garden, like Versailles.
Lovely garden and like the delicate feel and colors of Erin's many flowers and shrubs. The climbing pink roses are beautiful! The architecture in the garden is wonderful and like the pergola w/chandelier,cottage and sitting area. Their fence is well designed and all seems like a labor of love.
This is absolutely stunning! I don't think I could say anything that hasn't already been said about this beautiful cottage garden. Thanks so much to Garden Gate Magazine & the Clark family for opening up their beautiful yard for us to enjoy!!♥
She is an incredible designer that I cannot hold a candle to. However, for a two year old garden, she must have initially planted very large specimens. She may have worked hard but she also put a LOT of money into it.
I agree that the hardscape took time and money, but I can grow nepeta that large from cuttings in one season. The roses don't look to be more than a year or so old, nor do the phlox. My phloxes only took about 3 years to get 5 feet across, and hers are perhaps from a gallon size pot, but certainly not very many years' growth yet.. She has a great eye for knowing what would look good immediately, and also a great eye for planting things that look great together. Very simple plantings, but a huge impact. A wonderful lesson for me personally, as I tend to want one of everything, and even after many years my gardens do not have this lush, cohesive look.
Thank you, Molly! I actually had mostly quite small plants, 4" pots, that I got at a huge discount in the fall! It's the best time to get awesome deals and to plant. I have a post on my blog that you can read if you are interested. I must admit I was quite surprised by how full everything was the following spring!
With the amount of fertiliser and probably higher rainfall that is happening here, the size of the plants doesn’t surprise me at all. I planted a number of seedlings in my own garden that are the same size after four months. You can definitely start small to save money as long as you’re prepared to spoil the garden religiously with water and regular fertilising.
The fenced-in area reminds me of a garden P. Allen Smith designed years ago. It always stuck in my mind and one I aspire to create. Erin and Dan did. Gorgeous!
Bees are so important , one of the species without which we will all die ..I hope everyone plant at least 1-2 flowering pot in your balconies even if you are in an apartment to help these species .
Erin’s garden is absolutely gorgeous! Every detail throughout is simply charming! I’m a novice gardener and I love following Erin on Instagram, so much inspiration 🌸 Thanks for sharing this beautiful garden tour!
I have seen some really beautiful gardens, But !! This one is Stunning, Inviting, ect,ect . She has a very, very creative mind. I love everything she did EVERYTHING!!! And she has a BEAUTIFUL house 👍❤
Beautiful garden! The structures are amazing! I could sit out there all day, reading, enjoying the flowers, the lighting. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space with us.
Absolutely, beautiful. I grew up in Maine and miss many things about Maine. Thank you for sharing your garden. Is it possible to share a list of all the plants in your garden?
❤ beautifully done, so gorgeous and mesmerising the white fences, lovely pergola & summer house and the patio, chairs, lovely flowers. It's all tres bon ❤👍
I love the repeated pattern as well. And her color choices are so beautiful. I love lavender color and yellow as well. Light touches of peach tones and pink. I thinkI saw this garden last year after it was first built and the plants weren’t as well established. It is amazing. Seems like it was raining during the video.
Glad you enjoyed the tour! You can find even more details and plant information from this garden in the full article on our website: www.gardengatemagazine.com/articles/design-ideas/all/cottage-garden-charm/
Gorgeous gardens and designs!!! I'm familiar with the antique store in Camden. It's one of my favorite antique shops in Maine. I always find amazing treasures there.
Absolutely dreamy garden! Lots of good information too. Very talented in the woodworking and design. A couple of questions. With the snow they get, how do the plants do for the following spring, do you have to replant? I love all the seating. I would like to do something like that but what do you do about rain and all of the cushions? 😊💐
Love love love your tours. Can you pls add the state and general area where each tour is at? It helps us understand what works where. Thank you so much!!
This woman is very fortunate to be able to create + have her spouse build so beautifully for her. Super blessed lady.
It's a beautiful partnership and the hard work shows!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I do feel very fortunate 💗🌸

I am shocked at how young this garden is! So inspiring!
It is hard to believe how young it is. So glad you found inspiration from it.
Thank you! I am kind of shocked, too. It was almost as full last year! Crazy!
@@clarkcottagegardens We’re the plants in one gallon cans when you planted them? Just beautiful!
Oh that is just gorgeous. I can just imagine how beautiful it would be to sit there and have afternoon tea. Her hard work, skill and talent are an inspiration.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Such a beautiful garden. The "bee" on the Nepeta was actually a humming bird moth. It's wings move just like the hummingbirds do.
Good eye!
I've never wanted someone else's garden so bad as hers. I mean every corner is cozy and I can see my family out there enjoying each other. Life must be good!
She has created a lovely oasis!
This is possibly the loveliest garden I’ve ever seen
We love a cottage garden, glad you enjoyed the tour! 😍

It’s lovely but every side looks exactly the same. You find that rather boring honestly. It’s more like a repeating pattern than a painting.
That is the cutest pergola I have ever seen. Beautiful garden.
It really is! Such nice details!
Thank you! Dan did a great job for sure!
It is absolutly paradise.
We're glad you liked it.
Please do more tours of this garden in fall. Winter and spring. It’s just amazing and so inspiring.

Absolutely dreamy garden! Lots of good information too. Very talented in the woodworking and design. A couple of questions.

I would like to do something like that but what do you do about rain and all of the cushions? 😊💐
Thanks for watching!. They do get a lot of snow but most of the plants in the ground are perennials so they come back every year.
