Dream backyard perennial garden with Cranery Gardens (Part 1)
This is part 1 of a 2 part series.
I had a chance to visit fellow KZreadr @cranerygardens in late May where his garden was in peak bloom. If you follow him, you'll know what a gem his garden is and I left feeling like I'm doing it all wrong. How nice would it be to take a chair and sip a cup of coffee seeing all of that wonderful color? You certainly could in Crane's Garden.
We cover a few topics like:
1) Top perennials that keep on giving when it comes to cutting for both retail & florist work
2) More about Crane's beautiful greenhouse, including building basics
3) Crane's "shade garden" and what thrives in there
4) Most importantly, what a "low maintenance" perennial garden can do for a person who wants to enjoy flowers, cut some to sell, and not have to spend all their time flipping beds of annuals!
I hope you get as much out of this tour as I did!

Thank you so much everyone for clicking on this video and joining the garden tour. This collaboration means so much to me. Thank you Jessie for visiting my garden. I learn so much from you and from myself during the tour. I had such a good time, and felt very fulfilled after meeting with you. 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

I hope everyone can get as much out of this as Crane and I did. You’ll see that we are two different people learning from each other’s perspectives. Crane is an immense wealth of knowledge with a talent for design and im so thrilled to be able to share some of that with you! More importantly, I think he will resonate with a lot of people who want to still experience the joy of growing flowers and not have the business side steal from that joy ♥️

Beautiful garden! I’ve learned so much from this video, thank you for sharing. I’m from Thailand, are you as well?
What a fabulous collaboration and walking tour. You are an excellent interviewer and Crane is a walking encyclopedia! Learned so much. The quality of his garden is top-notch. I can tell he does not tolerate rag-tag-looking areas as everything is neat as a pin. Thank you both for the excellent content.

I loved this tour! I’ve seen some of Crane’s reels or shorts or something in my feed and it was great to see more about the gardens. I’m very similar in that I have a small yard (much smaller than his) and I love growing cut flowers, but I quickly discovered that I don’t want to have my urban yard look like a farm where everything is cut as soon as it is ready and I need to hustle it out the door. Can’t wait to watch part 2.

For sure! Even for me I feel the same way in that I’d love to take a chair and book out to read in the field and right now I would never do that. Crane’s garden is an absolutely dream to spend time in!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge step by step. I couldn’t find anyone like you when I was looking for information in how to plant and care for different types of flowers

I get so much out of your productions Jessie and this garden tour was especially enjoyable. Your both have put so much time and so much work into what you do, and the appreciation for the garden was natural and very beautiful. I know I speak for many others when I say how you both have been such an inspiration. I cannot wait to see part 2.

Totally wish we could grow such gorgeous cut flower gardens here in S. Florida, zone 11a 🥵 Though we can grow the "weed" Crane mentioned, lol. Its a native we call Florida pepperweed (lepidium virginicum), the entire plant is edible, the seeds are a peppery fun snack, its a butterfly host plant and considered medicinal. Love both your channels! Best wishes, Sheri ☺

Right?! I’m so motivated to put more work into my landscaping. And I can see why people don’t like calendula for that reason. Btw- I’m likely going to do a post on payment methods. It’s been brewing on the back burner!

Such a beautiful, healthy and colorful garden! Makes so much sense that you can add compost and it will help retain moisture, to save on watering time. In some areas, the City gives out wood chips and some cities even give out free compost.

If l had to drive an hour to get one of your arrangements i would but sadly NC is a lot further I enjoyed your flowers.so much what is your flower business called The plant in vegetable garden is "borage " a beautiful plant with small edible flowers you can freeze in ice cubes for drinks

Personally, I'm not a fan of the sticky stems of Calendula, and I'm not a fan of the scent. I have some that came back in 6A. I'm allowing them to stay right now, but haven't decided if I really want to cut on them, since my first sunflowers are starting to bloom.
@bareflowerfarm
Ай бұрын
That makes sense. When I grew calendula, they were among the first flowers to bloom in early spring and I can see them being helpful when few other flowers are around that time of the season!
How do you control pesticide , bugs , insects .
@bareflowerfarm
15 күн бұрын
Crane and I are both pretty sustainably oriented. We accept that nature will have pests and disease. Creating a balanced environment does help mitigate that to a certain degree.
Calendula gets a bad rap because the stems are sticky and people just don't like the feel.
