The interviewee is wonderfully passionate about plants, and I love how she expresses them. ❤
I knew I would love this video even from the thumbnail and it did not disappoint. Thank you for another very educational video.
9:30 On the topic of bees. One thing to consider is that a bee will leave the hive and then gather as much pollun as it can, BUT only from one type of flower per trip! That means that it will focus on flowers high in nectar where there is an abundance of them. In other words, if you want to benefit bees it's not enough to plant a single lonely flower, you need a good amount of one type in order to provide a benefit for bees.
So, yes, you need biodiversity, don't plant just one flower in your garden, but also you need a good amount per flower
Interesting information thank you
Incredible knowledge! No wonder they are Chelsea Gold winners! A joy to watch! Thank you!
I never knew those details about double flowers. Or what double flowers even were. Wonderful information. I’m saving this video to watch it as a refresher.
You always have such interesting guests!
Alex has a good speaking voice and is a good presenter.
Nice interview. I could listen to her all day. Thank you!
Thank you so much for interviewing Rosy Hardy, a lady who knows her stuff. I found the whole interview so interesting, the time just flew past and I was bowled over by her use of bold broad leaved perennials with vertical or frothy ones. What an eye catching border. I would love to visit her nursery!
This is a gem of a video!...
So much information about perennials to file away for future reference and to share with friends.
Tqtq so much for sharing..💖💝💐
Thanks so much to Rosy Hardy for her excellent talk.👍🥇
The questions and answers were packed with valuable plant information, design and knowledge may be applied to similar gardening zones . I Thank you Alexandra and Rosy ! 🇨🇦
I love your videos! So happy I found you, I've learned so much so quickly!
What a fantastic video
Hi Sarah
My God this was thorough! I especially loved looking at the plants in the border at the end. I learned to us yellow in shady areas and that there is something called ornamental rubarb. Thank you
I think I would have had Rosy standing infront of some of her beautiful plants rather than the woods and fields as it reminds us of her business and we can spot plants we might want to buy. We could see more of the plants she sells. Maybe you could interview Rosy again Alexandra? She has so much knowledge to share.
Always so happy to see a new Middle Sized Garden video. I echo Hardy’s. Truly the best deer discourager is a great fence.
Fantastic speaker and teacher
Great video. Just looking back at it again. The opening shot of the lupines and allium and various other white flowers in the background is just marvelous.
Thank you, sorry for late reply!
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden Oh, that's fine. Your number of subscribers is skyrocketing! And you got a lot of comments even when you had far few subscribers. Don't expect you to answer everything. But...you do answer a lot, don't you!
Love your videos so in formative...always getting ideas from the professionals.I also gets to see the array of these beautiful gardens in the UK. Real classic videos. Cant wait to see your next postings
This was by far one of the most informative and comprehensive video I’ve seen about perennials! Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
I really loved this episode!
I could easily watch many more of the same genre.
Lovely plantings!
So interesting and informative. I love perennials so as I start my new garden I will listen to this over and over. Thank you.
Great show. Thanks for sharing.
Hardy? Could she have any better name to own a perennial plant nursery? A lovely and informational interview, thank you! I have lots of garden space but only one perfect full sun bed and I tend to jumble all sorts in there. This is showing me that I need to be more deliberate and selective. It’s a bit of a mishmash at the moment. But dynamic and beautiful nonetheless 🙃
I agree. I thought the same about her name!!😂
Brilliant post, Alexandra! She is such a treasure trove of information, and presents it so succinctly. And your questions were spot on. And now I am itching to go plant my perennial seedlings! Cheers ☺️
This was a great video! She has a natural gift for teaching, doesn't she. I feel as if I just took a whole course in a matter of minutes. Thanks very much for all the helpful information.
I watched this video for the second time- so much useful information!
Thank you

Great speaker! I like the way you mix in the “experts” on your channel. I’m sure you could have told us all that but the mix of people makes your channel so interesting as well as being informative
Wow. What a great video. Beautiful images, and so informative. So often gardening videos don't explain terms, so this was great. I wish I'd had access to this especially when I was starting out--defining terms like perennial, herbaceous, etc. is so helpful for the beginner. So many wonderful plants!!
Great information! Great presentation! Beautiful garden.
Wonderful episode!!!
Thank You! What a treat to hear all that knowledge, and see the beautiful examples!

Excellent! Her border is living quilt-color and texture-contrast and harmony. Delightful!

Hi
Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting content. Thank you
Hi Berna
Nice video! Much appreciated
Very informative! Thank you so much for including the US zones!
You're all much more aware of your climate than we are, I think, very few of us even think about what 'zone' we're in, and it's so important for plants.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden We have a much wider variety of growing conditions here! I live in the southeast and summers here are brutal on plants- only the strong survive!
Fantastic - thank you!
