"The bees and pollinators will have a feast, and that's all that matters." Love that! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us -- it looks amazing!
It's so true, I love the bees. They need our help :)
Me too ❤
You show depth and insight often missed by other garden experts when talking color. I mean this is a really good video.
Siloe, I may have screamed when I saw your update--binged all your content a few months ago and continued to wonder about you. Your garden had grown so beautifully. Support from the Philippines!
Glad to have made your day more joyful. Your comment made me smile.
Me too 🤣 was busy when alert came now 6hrs later I'm here couldn't wait to get home and free to watch. Thanks
Same here- I was having withdrawal symptoms! 😂❤️🐨🇦🇺
Haha this is me too!!! I screamed inside tho haha

Siloe, As a watercolor artist and designer, I use color theory every day in my work. However I have struggled as a gardener to use use plant colors to creat cohesive designs. This is by far the best instruction I have come across for how to create pleasing plant color combinations. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and please keep these wonderful videos coming.

incredible video as usual, will definitely plant more flowers next year :)
Happy to have stop by Gaz. Your home will become even more idyllic and your veggies will be even better pollinated. If you build it they will come.
I am not good at painting or mixing colours but I love learning and working and creating my garden for the bees and polinators. Thank you very much for sharing your garden.❤
I don't know if this is your style BUT I would love a house tour! Your home is absolutely gorgeous 💕
Yes!
Siloe's wardrobe and style decisions may also be worth a tour / film!
Fantastic episode Siloe. Graphics and photography top notch…and funny!!
Wow, yours is the most academic and educational, as well as fun, gardening channel on youtube! Every time I come here I learn so much! I've been gardening for 3 years in my mom's long neglected garden, which was my grandparents' garden before that. I have some perennials propagated continuously by my grandma and my mom that might be over half a century old. It's incredible to see the same flowers that my grandma planted once in this garden. It's a slow process, but I'm trying to turn this garden into a cottage garden paradise like yours is. Thanks so much for inspiration and guidance on this journey!
Finally a new episode is here! I've waited eagerly and re-watched the last episodes so many times. There is few UA-cam series has been so helpful in planning my garden as this one! Thank you for your hard work and excellent teaching skills.
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂💖
You are the first person to explain Monet to me and made me fully understand and see his work in a new light. He is one of my favourite artists and now I appreciate his work even more! Thank you!
I need more of these masterclasses! These are so so cool! They must be so much work!
Wow! The production value is amazing. I will be watching this a few times. So many levels here. Entertainment, education, aesthetic. Thank you! Well worth the wait.
The quality of your videos is like nothing else available. The best on UA-cam, by far!
We appreciate the time and effort you put in.
Thank you Siloe! Amazing, like always. Everything you touch becomes magical, what an inspiration.
Yours is what a Real Cottage garden looks like.
When deciding the color to paint our house, I veered between a barn red and the moss green that I eventually chose. Good advice on choosing plant colors and shades to compliment the house, I've always done that but once in a while, an odd color appears in the garden, and totally shocks the system...knocking everything off balance. I'm sure the original Cottagers didn't give a thought to harmonizing their cottage gardens; plants just grew where the seed was tossed creating what I call Harmonious Confusion. Of course, we don't do things that way in our gardens, we like to plan and think and design....and still, the garden often grows in Harmonious Confusion anyway!~
Finally! Some actual teachings not like the other channels that say stuff that are common knowledge already. Thank you so much! I hope you create more master classes like this about gardening, interior design, and painting. Like the others said, you should get your own shown. The visual alone is stunning.
You do such a great job with the animation. It must be very time consuming to execute. I also love the analytical approach you take to gardening, which is the process of painting with living plants that have such specific cultural requirements, not just aesthetic qualities.
Bro the scripting and the editing is insane like a fully produced tv show
No one oozes artistic creativity & magic like this guy!!
Siloé, I’m am mesmerized by your videos - thank you for sharing so much of your thoughts, knowledge, skills, etc!!
I’m so fascinated by your channel!! I’d like to know more of your upbringing, what were you like as a child growing up? Where did you learn so much?
I know you’re an avid reader bc it comes across in how & what you say!
Kudos to your mom 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 for raising such a uniquely creative human being; truly a gift to humanity!!
Your garden is LOVELY! Thank you for the in depth lesson in color. I’m no artist at all, so it feels a little intimidating. My garden has been bursting with color this year thanks to you. I’ve planted all the things you planted and it does finally look like a cottage garden! It is set back and to the side of the house, so I think that takes some of the pressure off-it’s purely for my enjoyment. I want the front of the house to have a cottage garden but I’m so nervous. This video has given me so much to think about.
Nice to hear that. I think it is a great idea to train in the side garden. Best thing for front gardens would be to choose low maintenance high impact flowering perennial, and sprinkle a bit of the free flowing plants here and there, if you want it to look more contained.
Honestly I've never learned more through a single video. Love this series so please continue 🐝🌻
It’s not easy to describe in words how beautiful is this video . Thank you 🙏♥️
What a nice surprise! I was wondering when you were going to do another in-depth video. In a new garden I planted many packages of multicolored zinnias and that seemed to give me the best cottage garden look with relatively little effort. In my older gardens I really struggle with perennial rhizomous weeds especially between roses. So much so that I’ve contemplated taking up the entire garden. The other issue I’ve been struggling with is the drought conditions in cottage gardens. Most of the summer I watered daily and it took over an hour on that alone. Can you consider doing a video on simplifying garden maintenance around weeds and watering?
Yes, zinnias are quite the versatile plants to quickly fill a garden. Thanks for writing your main questions. I do happen to live in a rather wet area, but with the more erratic modern climate we are having more dry spells.
Put your plants on a drip
System
This is so helpful. More color theory please.
If I were still teaching art I would have shown this video. This is one of the best color theory videos I’ve ever seen.
I'm totally mesmerized by your garden. I love the abundant colors in your garden but people generally discourage from having too many plants in the front yard. I'm trying to learn how to choose colors for front yard from you. Please continue making more such videos. I won't lie, I could not catch the various terminologies that you were using initially. But once you started showing examples it became a bit easier to picture them. I would love to know more.
Magnífic work brother!!!!! Love your garden😍😍😍 congratulations👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You Lilian
Ahhhh, This is exactly the magical surprise I needed today 😌 I always feel like your videos transport me to another world while also being incredibly educational & helpful! I grew a few annuals around the veg patch this year for the bees but I was so floored by how beautiful it made the space! I wanted to do a lot more next year, so I’ll be going back to your cottage garden series over & over for inspiration! Your content is just absolutely phenomenal, thank you so much for the wonderful work you do 🌱🌸
Love to see it all! Color theory is tough in painting and even more in the garden! Appreciate any help you can give. Love the painting
the visual artistry is just soo amazing, i love watching ur videos
The best way to start a Sunday. Thanks a lot Siloé!!
Glad to have you here!
I hope you get a huge award for this video. Absolutely stunning. Thank you.
It is truly amazing just to perceive how that street in the background itself changes its character completely thanks to this one man's creative initiative on his own little private lot...
I've watched so many of your videos. All of your styles of video are so well made. They are all so informative and beautifully constructed. One can tell you care so much of not only the content you make but also the viewer. Thank you for all the time you put into making such wonderful content. It is so nice to learn from you as well.
This is a masterclass on how colour works and how to play with it, and a finishing comment about the importance of letting go and giving magic a chance. Genius. Love your outfits, and your garden Siloe 🤩
I am so impressed with this video! The special effects at the beginning were fun, and well done. I thought I’d watch a few minutes just to see what it was about, but I watched the whole thing. It was so good, I couldn’t have stopped if I’d wanted to (which I didn’t!). I think it made more sense to me than many other garden channels because, as an artist, I get it! I think my color sense is good, but following your suggestions could really make a difference. I have a bed alongside my house that was beautiful once upon a time. I’m going to work on that side garden next year, to make it nice again. I will definitely refer to this video for guidance. Your artwork is excellent, too. Thanks so much for sharing your garden design process. I really appreciate it
Incredible quality. Cannot believe this video is free on UA-cam and not an expensive paid course.
I'm glad you kept your old property in the family! I was super excited for you when you bought the new place, but I was also a little sad you would be leaving behind such an amazing place you created 💚
ETA: yes! definitely more videos like this!
It's hard to express how lovely, informative and fun your videos are. I love the garden, the house, the interior... All of it so magical and enchanting.
You are the Bob Ross of gardening, so insightful! I really appreciate the effort you put into your teaching!
The beauty of your garden and the quality of this video is mind blowing. Thank you so much!
It will take repeated viewings to do justice to the richness of this video. I will enjoy it every time I see it.
Wonderful video Siloe, thank you so much. It is so packed with content that I know I'm going to watch it many times to unpick all those tiny throwaway comments - massive golden nugget density, unlike the dreary garden TV I used to watch where they tell you the same thing 15 times! You are making the opposite kind of content, absolutely stuffed with gems, where I feel that if I want to derive maximum benefit, I really should be taking notes. So, top quality lecture, but with amazingly gorgeous photography and animation, and of course, fabulous planting. It's as good as it gets. Much love from Gloucestershire UK :)
I’ve studied color theory for over a year…years ago for a painting degree and your video sums it up perfectly, even better! Thank you for this amazing educational video…you truly are a Master on many topics ❤ gardening, artist, landscaping, plant placement, color…I could go on and on;) I love your lifestyle, living in bliss ❤
This was a way better explanation then the very expensive color theory class I took in collage!!!
Thanks for the amazing content, inspiration, and amazing smile.
I almost cried over this video
You're incredibly talented (and well dressed 😆)
Your editing ability was mind-blowing your "Tedtalk" captivating and how you showed your garden was an eye candy. I paused the video so many time..almost every frame was print worthy.
You could just do a video every day about the same garden and same subject and point out what interests you that day.... your video is like a BBC TV show ... the highest quality and ambition....and I'm not even a gardener nor an artist ❤
I literally cried out 'YAY!!' when I saw that you had uploaded a new video!! I'm so excited for this, and will probably watch this several times over. Thank you for all your hard work, Siloe. I can really appreciate how long these videos must take, you truly are an artist.
I was SO excited to see a new episode in this garden design series!! I was thinking about you just the other day wondering when the next episode will come out! I would love to know more about color, though this was incredibly helpful!! I would also love to see how your garden changes throughout the different seasons of the year: what plants bloom at the same time in the spring, early and late summer, autumn, and how you create interest in the garden over winter months.
With so many people having large yards, I hope more people get into gardening to beautify our cities.
Yes! Seeing your new video this morning made my day! I would love to learn more about color, especially when planning a garden. We just purchased our home in April and have not touched anything. We are using this first year as a time to get to know our new a feel home, how the sun impacts our property throughout the coming year, and planning what we would love to plant (medicinal, edible, and beautiful) around the home and into our woods. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!
Thank you Siole for making this amazing video on colour schemes and also othe design master class videos. I am an Architect and gardening is my hobby. I have learnt a ton from your videos and I aspire to make a cottage garden of mine. You explain these concepts of design beautifully and way better than i have learned in my college years. I really enjoy watching your videos, so please continue with your masterclass series.
Greetings Sir Silo, you are an incredible and talented gentleman. I just happened upon your videos and must say I can not begin to tell you how much I enjoy them. Now I'm hooked. Your yard and home are beautiful . A true piece of heaven. I'm in the city and today I completed transplanting my cottage garden to the back yard. My garden time is my therapy. There were just too many interruptions by good neighbors. Thank you so much for the time put into your great learning videos sir. Robert
sir.
This was a great video! I'd love more vids like this and maybe more talking about thinking more sculpturally about the garden. (I think you talked about that in another video?)
It definitely inspired me to plant cannas by my japanese maple and heathers near my magnolia. It just opened up this whole world of texture and structural contrast in plants.
An absolutely brilliant video, Siloe. I know I will be re-watching it more than a few times. Thank you.
I would love to see a new garden update/tour! It's looking beautiful!
Wonderful! Your garden and this video. I am in the first year of my cottage garden in the North of Germany, inspired also by your other videos. I am glad and thankful for this video, because the mix of color was a big problem for me. Now it will be a pleasure to decide which colors to combine. Great fun and very inpiring. Love and Light from Germany
absolutely incredible work. all around. from the gardening, to the painting, to the technical video side of things. absolutely killer!
New subscriber, or should I say new addict. Busy binge watching your videos. A gardener that thinks like a painter.....so happy I found your channel.
I vote for a painting spin off while you tell a story… I could watch that every day
WOW! and WOW! My dad was an architect and painter as a hobby. This video has rekindled my awareness of color balance and I now know EXACTLY what to do for my humble garden - 🙏🏽
I'm in agreement with maintaining a couple of underlying colors throughout Then I concentrate on additional varying colors in area groupings, which allows me to plant just about any color that strikes my fancy, as long as I group it with other colors that compliment it in that area. The underlying color unifies the whole garden as the eye is drawn between each separately harmonious grouping. The white veil is also very effective and provides a shimmering effect. I discovered this by accident one year at a nursery when I had picked up some Homestead Purple verbena and some Zinnia angustifolia. My cart was dazzling with the tiny yellow-eyed white zinnias dancing over the deep subdued purple of the verbena, and I knew I had really stumbled on something. I'm also fond of plants that send up spikes or tall single/thin stems, which can be interspersed among more solid plantings to give that shimmering or dancing butterfly sort of effect above the main planting. I especially love dark leaves such as a coleus or purple ipomoea vine as the background for pale or white flowers to play in front of. Your garden is looking lovely and I will be enjoying watching it develop 🥰
Ahh I’m planning my very own first garden ever in my first ever home and this is so useful!! Previous owners left nothing on the property. I think as you said analogous with a rare pop of a complimentary color of a different hue really works! I’m going for pastel cool tones with pops of dark berry and light orange 😊 pls keep it up and post more on this series. The form and structure video was so useful too!! I love roses and lavenders
I miss your garden video. This bring me joy!
One of the best channels on UA-cam! I wish I had a million dollars to finance all his dreams! Can't wait to see how this all evolves.
A minute in and I'm already mesmerized, your videos are always top notch!
Pink + orange + yellow + blue makes me happy!
Hey thanks for this very cool video....I teach H.S. art which includes color theory and landscape painting....This video is both approachable and fun. and I think it will be useful in my classroom. Best wishes, and thanks
I save your videos like fine chocolate - to be savored at leisure. I loved learning about color composition. I’m in PA in 6B and learning which plants thrive and which do not in my soil and light. I favor pink, blue and white combinations with accents of yellow and orange. I also love variegated leaves and silvery accents of foliage. My gardens are three years old now and I’ve moved, removed and added lots of varieties to see what pleases my eye and creates a beautiful landscape.
Thank you for all the work that goes into your amazing, delightful videos. They are each works of art.
We truly missed your videos!! I keep watching all the others waiting for the new video. Hope you've been well. Thanks
The complete story about the relative colors of the roses makes so much sense in the end, as that pink and that yellow would probably be the two root colors you would mix on your palette to come up with that salmon.
I would edit in a blue, that will combine well with both the pink and the yellow to salmon tones.
It's an absolute crime that this doesn't have more views. What a masterpiece you've made.
Thank you for recognizing the hard work. I’ve noticed that to gain more traction a video cannot go too in depth on a technical subject. It just isn’t what holds the attention of most.
I can't decide which is more interesting, your home inside or your beautiful gardens outside. You are a most intriguing artist/gardener!
Your videos are works of art in themselves, bravo 👏
Your home is incredibly beautiful. Would you be willing to make a home tour video and/or a home interior design video? Thank you for sharing your aesthetic knowledge with us.
Your interior design style is right up my alley.
I'm working on it right now!
@@suburbanhomestead Awesome! I am looking forward to it.
This is an extremely helpful video! I had never seen nor read about the idea of putting light, airy white plants in front of more saturated colors to tone them down. I also love the idea of using a complementary color for the airy plants. I'd also never seen anything about choosing 3 main colors and then 3 "accent" colors. I'm definitely going to look more into gardening color theory.
I live in a reddish-brown brick home, after watching this video, I think I will paint those boring green doors a bright yellow! and plant more cosmos! Love your channel, the garden is beautiful the house is beautiful and you are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I watched a few of your videos back in the old days and loved your passion and consideration, but your more recent videos are something else entirely. I am amazed at the level of production and refinement, and impressed by your dedication. Thank you for sharing your many many talents with all of us.
I love this video! You are an amazing teacher.
I can't believe this is free. Thank you. Seriously.
I got so excited when I saw an update! I must say I love the transition of your garden at this new house. It really is coming together. My dog just passed, so I am turning our grassy patch into a garden and this video comes at a great time!
Your videos were always thoughtful and informative, but more they are sooo much more creative and eye catching. I'm 55 and have been gardening since I was 11. I feel like I can never learn enough!
just found your channel! im an 18 year old girl from the UK but for some reason, these videos fascinate me haha. I love the editing, its incredible
Ohhhh.......it's always a treat when one of your videos come out. Will save to watch when I can give it my undivided attention 😊😊😊
So inspiring! I have already started daydreaming about what my own garden can look like!
Wow! This video was extraordinary! Great cinematic quality as well as general visual delight! Must have taken forever to record this. Bravo! Extremely well done!
I want more and will rewatch this one over and over again just for the sheer enjoyment.
Thank you! What a delight!
Wow i just can't get over how high quality your videos are
Thank you so much for this glimpse into color theory, I 've always been confused about this. I absolutely love this video, and the graphics and paintings that illustrate the vocabulary are brilliant and totally effective. I wish I had your talents, but at least I can enjoy these vicariously. THANK YOU AGAIN!
I just found your channel and I am blown away! Amazing quality, research, insight and pure talent!
Wish more people got the chance to watch these videos, absolutely amazing!
I can't wait to watch your garden evolve over the years. Thanks for sharing with us.
This was a beautiful and very interesting look at colour design in the garden.
It did fail to mention the advantage of gardeners over painters, in that different flowers bloom at different times.
For a month in summer you might have a block of dazzling white lilies, another area might be planted with spring flowering yellow daffodils or pink autumn flowering nerines.
I love this aspect of my garden.
“One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides.” -W.E. Johns, ‘The Passing Show’.
On top of your gardening skills, your editing and production skills are freaking amazing!! This is no small feat. Keep it up!!! Love your work so much!
I've been watching your older "gardening" videos mostly because I thought that all I am trying to do is avoid the "Dead as doornail brown" and "Dying, dying, dying yellow" colors in my plants. But I loved this! What a fascinating education! I am never going to learn everything in this video, and will probably never have a cottage garden, but it helped me understand a little about why I like certain houses, rooms, or even outfits. Thank you.
I wish the build across the street would hire you to paint a mural on it. That side looks like a blank canvas that is begging to be a masterpiece!
Just when I need him the most, he comes back 🙏🏻
Hope the information is helpful and it was worth the wait. Quality takes time to craft but I have a sneaking suspicion that is what you and everyone else values most.
@@suburbanhomestead As I am also a painter, this also helps with the colors I use when painting. So yes, this video was definitely helpful and informative! Also the editing is *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏻🤌🏻
This was an incredibly unique garden video. So glad it has a Portuguese option for my Brazilian friends!
You are the best. I’ve watched you for ages for the joy your garden and spirit inspire, but now that I’m planning my own first garden, I realize how incredibly helpful and informative your videos are as well. Thank you for all of it.
