Deer-Proof Butterfly & Bee Garden | Doug Green| Central Texas Gardener

- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Butterflies, bees and birds flock to a deer-protected plant and pond habitat, a haven for Ingrid and Doug Green. Since the vast property is home to deer, Doug built a pentagon-shaped enclosure to protect the floral food buffet from grazing deer. His artistic, pentagonal pond is a birdbath with edges for thirsty bees and lizards, along with pudding for butterflies. He dedicated it to his dad, Paul Green, a long time joyful garden mentor to many as a member of The Garden Club of Austin. Check out his website Express Yourself Austin at www.expressyou... and on UA-cam.
"The third year will be the best." This garden is really beautiful, I will rewatch and rewatch this episode!
"I told myself that I wasn't going to go nuts, maybe I wasn't going to plant the whole thing the first year. But then I couldn't stop."
THAT STATEMENT describes Doug Green in EVERYTHING HE DOES!!
that descibes most gardeners . gardening is a PASSION ive been enjoying for almost 50 years. all very beautiful and the exelent metal art makes it extra unique
Oh wow - oh wow. So beautiful and well thought out. Inspiring garden, inspiring art ...
What a gorgeous garden, a real stunner! I love the water features and how it attracts pollinators. The hardscape compliments the plants so nicely. I really love this idea of creating the Memorial Garden for the dad. I have racked my brain trying to figure out the perfect memorial for my mom and twin sister, and this may be it. It may be years away, but seeing this garden gives me hope and inspiration that I can do it. Gorgeous work, thank you for posting this video!
What a fantastic garden, so creative and thoughtful for the terrain that he has to wok with! Bravo!!

I just found this video and I love your garden! Beautiful. I went to your webpage, however, I would love to see you more frequently on UA-cam on gardening in central Texas. I really need to learn to trust myself. 😊
Wow, beautiful garden! I'm inspired!
So glad to have you on the CTG team!
Gorgeous Garden Working on mine. Nothing compared to this ...beautiful
Awesome garden. I wish I had land like that.
Your garden looks so beautiful and peaceful I especially love the butterfly chairs I collect everything to do with butterflies I I started gardening last year I don't have a green thumb but I'm learning as I go one day I hope to have a beautiful garden like yours
I would love to know how he keeps his gravel/decomposed granite walkways so clean! I’ve been looking more into this propane kits to just burn the weeds. Hate to use roundup
It does require a bit of diligence! Good for you on no herbicides. Lots of folks use propane: just be mighty careful around flammable plants. It's easier to just dig some out as they appear--a few minutes a day. But yes, it's hard to keep on top of that with everything else. Some people use leaf blower/catchers to clean up after fall/spring pollen/leaf drop; others rake and think peaceful thoughts!
Love that fountain and the Pentagon shape reason!
Amazing
So beautiful. Main question is what do you do with your beautiful water stations and fountains during these hard freezes? I've drained our one fountain /birdbath in the winter and I've still had cracks. Hoping you have answers :)
How do you keep all those wonderful walkways from being over-run with weeds?!?
You just keep on top of it, really. Scrape with a rake/hoe, pull every time you walk around. . .
Can we get a link to his website? Love the artwork.
I should have included it in the text! Here you go: www.expressyourselfaustin.com/
