I didn't know I make so many sounds when I pick things up until editing this video lol. Let me know if you guys have any plant plans/projects for Spring, perhaps I could get some ideas for myself haha. Also, check out Chris' youtube channel if you're interested in books📚 kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWuk27uoXaW_nLw.html&ab_channel=chris%27library

Benji, what's the name of the plant you have on your balcony wall?, the one by the lake, it's because I'm Brazilian and I still don't know fluent English, could you tell me the name?

Always loved the balcony.. even with all the electric power lines in the background, it’s like you’re in asia. I used to live where you are for 20 years.. definitely missing the weather.. always an esthetic video Benji. 👍🏼

One of my friends said that Benji’s personal style is “spicy minimalism” and I couldn’t agree more :)

It’s very west coast too Which I love ❤️ I’m from California & I miss it 😆 So I gravitate towards a west coast aesthetic

bro this is the most calm ive ever felt in my life ive never wanted to water my plants more, i aspire to be like you 🙏🙏

My favourite thing about you, Benji is how you just go ahead and try things without worrying if things will be perfect. Such a great way to discover your own personal style and to learn things along the way. I think your balcony garden is lovely and would like to try some of your projects, maybe a water garden this season 🤔. Also, the lights…so pretty.

such a magical space!

We just moved recently to a new house, and my grandmother gave us a lot of seeds, and my other grandmother is giving me so many plants, ifs gonna be so fun designing the garden!! Also I love your videos So SO much you are literally my favourite KZreadr.

This boy is crazy talented. Everything he touches turns beautiful.

Hi Benji, I'm from Switzerland and I rarely comment but I thought I'd really like to comment on this one :) It's very kind and lovely of you that you're explaining to us your thought process behind the plant arrangement! I get a lot of inspiration from your videos, especially where you explain what your idea behind an arrangement/plant creation is!! Sharing your knowledge and your thoughts behind a project is really enlightening and helps me to improve my own plant care. 🍓 Thank you for the video and have nice day :) 🌱💮🌿

To help free up space on the balcony, you could make makeshift shelves with cinder blocks and wood planks so you can stack the plants. The ones that can't take direct sunlight can go on the bottom!

Your videos are so relaxing and authentic. I feel like I've just had a relaxing productive Saturday morning...and it's actually midnight Thursday haha!

You are my comfort person Benji. Every time I watch your videos I instantly feel in peace. Love your decorating style, I’m learning so much from you 🤍🌿

The joy I feel seeing two introverts living together.

Tips: 1. Large to small 2. Low to high 3. Variety of shape, color, leaves 4. Soft angles

Please , Benji, give us more plant design videos. You have a great eye! it is a true pleasure to watch you working on your cute balcony.

You make great green videos! I started watching some of your videos recently. I have been focusing on the garden plants for years, but just started decorating my place with indoor plants. The way you grow plants in your place is beautiful and impressive. I learn a lot from your videos!

I could listen to you all day long because you have an angelic voice. What a combination of nature and a voice of a gifted man. 🫢❤️ your show is amazing. I love plants.

I loved this video~! I really enjoyed how you talked about composition, using different textures, and layering the tallest to smallest plants on your balcony. Thank u for these ideas/tips I'll def use them in the future!

I am using 4 IKEA outdoor “Läckö” shelves to organize orchids in Florida. The environment is very hard on things & these are holding up. The shelves drain very well. It also helps control how much sun they get & makes it easier to water, etc. I can hang the orchids in baskets on them too. When they are in bloom, it looks really good.

Happy Sunday Benji, Chris 🌷🌷🌷 I am getting my plants ready to move out on my porch for the summer. I live I NC so in May I put my plants out until it gets cold and my plants love it. Ok love your videos!!! Have a great Sunday you and your family 💖💖💖💖

Your balcony looks super good and beautiful at night with the lanterns. Your whole place looks calming. Side note: I saw Theo checking out the String of Pearls. Please be careful he doesn’t get ahold of any. They are highly toxic to dogs. 💚

I love your videos and plants, you're really inspiring. I have my own plants, but I'm moving to another town in September and I can't wait to start designing my new home with more plants. Greetings from Spain !!

You are so adorable Benji. I love how you arranged your balcony so effortless. It looks amazing.

If you haven't tried it yet, Nasturium is a great edible plant! Beautiful peppery garnish. Used to have to take care of a couple plants that we harvested for service at a restaurant i used to work at

I love what you’re doing, so inspiring! ❤️

This is always the best part of my week! I always take care of my plants and listen to your videos, keep creating :)

Love your dad interacting with theo❤️ your videos are so peaceful

I’m so stoked for this spring :) I’m building a shade tent for my tropicals so they can go outdoors and size up a bit this summer. I’m from southern Ontario, so I try to take advantage of this nice warm weather! You’re videos inspire me for things I can do indoors during the winter, so keep it up Benji

I love to see how other plant parents care for, style, arrange, repot and talk about their plants. I find your voice very soothing. Love the pup, too! I'll be visiting Chris' channel because enjoy books. Also, the noises you make "living noises" are a nice part of your recording. It adds nice touch to the realness of your video.

i discovered this channel today but there is something very calming and nice about your videos, the fact that it's just "the guy and his little plants" idk it makes me happy for some reasons loll

You’re vibe is so nice this was very relaxing to watch! I love you’re home it’s beautiful!

Yay! you found good weather to film :)) Rainy day videos would be just as nice though !!

Loved this video!! I just rearranged and cleaned my entire patio! I’m so happy to have planted some lettuce and a whole section of pollinator plant seeds for this upcoming spring to add to the plant variety of my backyard and patio garden:)

so happy you uploaded this today since I was watching a lot of your vids earlier. I love spring the most because that's when I can do all my fun repotting and I get to go out and buy lots of outdoor flowers/herb/veggies (winters in RI are brutal for plant lovers haha). I just love a good refresh :)

This is so beautiful ♡ !!!! Your voice is super calming and the plants you have are magical truly, I love the pots and setup !!

Thank you for relaxing me and inspiring for some plant changes on my balcony. It is winter now, spring is coming. Yay, Im so looking forward to it.

Yes, I love the plant arrangng videos. I definitely think it's another art form! If I took away my plants, my home would look desolate, and artful placing is a must. I've been inspired by all of your videos.

you explained your thought process so well benji!

Im so glad i tumbled upon your youtube benji! I love plants, but im also very picky with my plants. So nice to find someone who has the same taste in plants and home life aesthetics! Almost forgot how much i loved my plants and how grateful I am with our cosy flat too wahh! Love all your vlogs and theo 🥹

I'm so excited for Chris' library!!! 💗

Yesss!! I love books as well! Can't wait to watch his new channel!! Definitely exited about that! And loved so much your video Benji. As always, it made my day :)

I still live with my parents and we have a backyard garden. I convinced them that I could try out making an herb garden there this year!! So that's what I have been looking forward to this time!!

Omg. This is how I speak about my greenhouse. I love an opportunity and inspo to rearrange my plants.

I love how you speak it's so relaxing to listen and i love how you two have a calm positive hobbies that feeds the soul, you love plants and he loves books 😊😊😊❤❤❤

your videos are so calming, I can't wait to have my space filled with plants like yours!!

Hey Benji, love your videos btw!! So calming!! I just got a great deal on two large trellises and an arbor!! So thats going to be my new plant project for Spring!! I need to see what plants do well on a trellis! That's what I was looking up on KZread and then I saw you posted so I came here first!! Gotta support the people we admire and learn from!! Most definitely!! Im excited about my arbor the most though!! OMG!! I want it all green!! It would be so beautiful!! Also, on my two days off this past week, I redid my back porch like your doing your balcony and it feels sooooo freaking good to have that done!! And my plants are organized better and look much happier!! It feels good when you get everything in order and in its place!! No better feeling!! Can't wait for your next video!! Much love from Louisiana!!

You have such an amazing garden on your deck a bunch of beautiful plants I really appreciate your love for plants

Relaxing video as always, you’ve got a great eye! Love all the flowers, and bonsai. Super cool!

I just spring cleaned my balcony yesterday as well! Looking forward to growing our asparagus fern on a net like yours so it fills our empty wall with green 😍

The string of pearls looks really good! Nice work.

The plants are stunning and amazing. Good job ❤

Amo este canal, transmite demasiada paz. 💕

Love your green balcony! Thank you!

I love spring! It's my favorite! I have so many projects buying plants and container ponds and vegetable gardening.

Your video inspired me to renovate my balcony in spring, so thanks for that. Right know it is snowing outside, but it really helps me get over the last cold months here in Germany by planning projects for spring time ^^🌱

i love these plant design videos!! they're very inspiring ^^

Pretty plant collection. I love string of pearls and the purple one most. Love to see your vlog

I love how calm your videos are!

The creeping fig looks AH-MAZING there! Loved watching you revamp your balcony :)

He is so calm and cute. It's really nice to listen him

Love how easy-going you are, really put my mind at peace watching this. I try to be too perfect all the time and it just stresses me out. Love from India ♥️

Nice. Love the vibe at night it is a mini getaway especially with accordion music

Oh my gosh I’m so excited for spring because I got a whole new space and I’m going to go all out on flowers and veggies I started last fall so I already have bulbs poking up!!!

So calm and relaxing to watch your vlogs

So beautiful garden! Amazing work! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!👍🌾🌿🍀

I just found your video! Brought me so much peace. Can’t wait to see more!!

It looks amazing. I really enjoy your videos, the progress is incredible

I enjoy the sounds that is part of the enjoyment of watching plant videos. I love your doggy too so cute! I feel the same way about people watching me record. When I go to nurseries, I like try to hide.

Thanks for sharing you’re beautiful balcony garden Love the pond

I just started my balcony garden !!! Thanks for the inspiration!

i’m struggling through the WORST cold in my life rn, hopefully this video can help me get my mind off of it.

Yes another video you're such an inspiration to so many because of you I got an into terrarium

I love this! I have a balcony that I really want to put plants on but it's so covered and west-facing, so it doesn't get much sun until the afternoon, and it's also really windy in the summer. But this video has inspired me some some plants that I might be able to put out there!

Beautiful home! Also you guys make an adorable couple. 😍

I love the calm vibe you have ❤

I really like you, Benji. You like trees ,You love pets, You organized a very cute house. 🥰

I'm in love with his place it's look so alive if this make sense it's just so comfort and sweet 😭

Just watching and hearing you is so relaxing.. the way you talk and your mannerisms wow.. just wholesome. ❤ 7:00

🤣 I think you crouching and them not seeing come back up is hilarious. So inspiring as always it's beautiful I hope I can get my area close to it. Omg definitely sharing the info on his book content I know my daughter would love that.

ベランダの草花たち🦜🦜可愛いですね！🙂🙂日本の盆栽も素敵です。

First time on this channel... this video just gives me good vibes... the balcony is as lovely as you! My family has a property in the countryside so I've always loved plants, you did an AMAZING job... Greetings from Italy! ❤

this spring i am planning on converting more plants in ground, especially our fruits & edibles✨ most of our plants are in containers. i would also like to rearrange and spring clean my indoor plants 🌱 your videos are always so inspiring and calming

Wow so beautiful thank you for sharing your balcony garden it look Amazing place

This was such a calm and cosy video ❤ i really should invest in some plants

I have started grapefruit and orange seeds several years ago,each summer I put them out on the deck along with the fig tree . They all enjoy the sun and heat of summer. As fall temps cool I will mover them back into the house for winter .

i love spring because of a lot of things: there is more sun and more rain (i immensely love both), nature borns again, the weather is hotter. when nature borns again i feel like i'm being born again, so my mental health gets better and evrything. i'm not planning to do a lot of things with my plants for spring, i'll just be excited for their blooms and growth

KZread randomly recommended this video, and I’m so glad it did. I think I just found the most wholesome person on KZread. 😭🤍

I love that creeping fig! The fish pond is a bonus too!

Hi 👋 your plants and trees are beautiful. Just like your calm voice. Thanks for sharing 😊

I don't usually comment on YT videos and this is the first time I've watched your video. But!! I just want to say your voice is so calming! LOVE your balcony garden!

Thank you so much for sharing your plants.I had that but white bamboo soon I will blog it

I love love your plants ,I have plants too but yours are so beautiful and healthy,you are an awesome person Benji regards to you Cris and your dog keep safe and God bless ❤️

Your balcony looks so exciting and beautiful!✨ After I finished my examitation for universitiy, I want to change my balcony as like you did!

Great job! The new tree already improves the view by diverting attention away from the power wire mess in the background. It'll really be beautiful when it fills out!

Your videos are really calming thanks a lot for that, im currently working away from my boyfriend for a couple of weeks and im having the worse time around here but your videos are really helping me to calm down and learn a new skill at the same time.

Loved the video!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo interesting and relaxing. I personaly enjoy a lot this tipe of content! Hi from Spain!🥰

I had to pause the vid to go arrange my balcony because I was so motivated watching you do it. Haha. Thank you.

I would love more plant decorating videos!

When I lived in an apartment, I had trellis just like yours and grew goya, summer veggie from Okinawa. People in Japan grow goya to create “green curtain” to block the intense summer sun and for privacy. I tried cucumber and beans before but they got devoured by bugs. Goya seems to be much tougher and do well in pots as long as it’s deep enough.

JUST found your channel and I honestly couldn't be happier 💛🌼

Your videos make my Sunday!
