My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.

Good god man , you are so blessed. If ever i needed a double dose of amazing, lovely, spectacular, peaceful, and calming this was the video . The look back at spring and the music somehow transported me to better times. God bless you!

@@nemkini We are aware that the production of tulips and other bulbs has its downsides, but a solution must be found. Maybe we should reduce the use of pesticides and increase the price of bulbs that are not expensive anyway.
Hi all, I followed his method exactly last year and had a great success rate. I live in zone 7, and placed them under the bench on my covered porch throughout winter. I could have placed them in my unheated garage, but I didn’t want to risk inviting critters there. Tip: You may need to cover the pots with chicken wire or plastic sheets if you have squirrels in your area.

Thanks! Zone 7 also was wondering if my porch would be the safest spot. I’ll have to cover since we have squirrels.
Beautiful flowers, beautiful music, and wonderful gardening advice. Thank you Claus for your much appreciated respites in a world that doesn't make much sense right now.

So nice of you
I've never had much luck growing tulips in pots-they end up rotting. Perhaps because I left them exposed to our -30 Canadian winters with lots of snow. I will take your suggestion and cover them this year in a much more sheltered spot. Fingers crossed that I, too, will have beautiful pots to beatify my front door. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the book.

Wow! My mouth dropped to the floor Mr. Claus!! This looks so easy and doable. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the key tips on covering the containers. Also, I never thought about packing in 20 bulbs on a 12 inch diameter container either; that’s what makes it look fuller.

Now I know why my pots of tulips have been disappointing- I didn't plant enough. Lovely video, thank you
Hi 🙋♀️ from New Zealand 🇳🇿 love this video 🪴🥰 spring time now in NZ🇳🇿
..."and sometimes you play with the bulbs" - Classic!
God bless you for share your beautiful skills in your beautiful dreams garden
So glad I watched this video last year. I took your advice and covered my pots planted with tulip bulbs. In the past the bulbs would rot out because I didn't cover them. This year my pots are full of gorgeous tulip leaves sprouting. I am anxiously waiting for the beautiful blooms. Thanks Mr. Dalby.
Most beautiful & inspiring.... I am so happy to find you on You Tube channel. I will visit often. Thank you sincerely. ~ Louella

Thank you! Bulbs are like a bit of needed magic. Especially when they come to ‘life’ after a refrigerated cold period. 💐
So beautiful! Thank you.
Beautiful!
Beautiful, thank you Claus.
Simply wonderful, thank you Claus. Your book will be on my Christmas list 🥰
I love all of the information!! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for talking about how to grow tulips in pots. I planted tulips in pots and put them outside did not cover them and alas, they did not produce any flowers, and when I looked into the soil, they were disappeared. Like you said they rotted in the soil 😮! Thanks to you now I know better😊
Gorgeous!
I’m so excited to get your book! Great video as always.
Your containers are always a dream. However, what I miss in this video is that covering the pots and storing them for the winter is not shown. I always like to forward your videos to flower-loving friends who may not immediately understand this very key instruction only as a narrative and not as a video component.
Great advice as always Claus! Many thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial! I am excited to receive my tulip order.
Breathtaking footage! Thank you!
Great video Claus!
Breathtakingly beautiful! Thank you so much.
Dear Claus, thanks a lot for this tutorial! It‘s perfect! Now I know the diameter of the pot and how many bulbs it contains. The video is very inspiring. Next week I‘ll go on a hunt for beautiful white and pink tulip bulbs. I also love the idea of using red salad in the arrangement. Your hint for well watering and than covering the pots is great!
Your garden is so inspirational, Claus! My tulips are just finishing here (Australia) so your advice about what to do with them afterwards was perfectly timed! Thankyou!!
So beautiful! Thanks for the tips. I’ve just planted my bulbs but will definitely put in greenhouse over winter.
Thank you so much I've been waiting on this video and looking forward to seeing more tulip plantings in the garden. Excited to order your book.
I cannot wait to try this with my spring bulbs!
How absolutely enchanting.💕
Beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you Claus I now know why I have not been successful with pots and tulips in the past. I have a large order of Dutch bulbs waiting in my garage for planting and now I have the knowledge for success ! I will let you know how I get on in the spring 2022. 😍😎🇫🇷

Beautiful .....
Most interesting & informative, Claus. Soaking the pots, shielding them from the winter weather & not watering until the new growth first appears. I'll be trying your technique this winter.
Fantastic and informative video!! I saw your post on Instagram and subscribed to your channel! I can’t wait for your book to come out in English too!! Will be growing bulbs like this I’m so excited!
I had no idea how many pots you use. Since squirrels like to dig up my bulbs, I'm looking forward to planting them in containers using your helpful hints. I love the lettuce you grow in containers. I can't wait to finally get your book published in English.
I bought your beautiful book which came on Thursday, and I've recommended it to many friends, photographers and gardeners. Its pages, so full of glorious coloured photos are really helpful with plant names too. Thank you Claus for publishing this lovely book.
