I enjoy your channel ~ keep up the great work. Excited to see what you come up with next ! Thank you for running through the plant requirements and zones… size and such also why you chose them. That helps a lot! I have so much work to do in my own yard turning it into my garden. I find choosing the plants seems harder than digging and lifting things for me. I love so many plants but choosing the right ones that will live and thrive where I put them… well, that takes research! So thank you for being a source I can depend on for information as well as a fun videos to add some laughter in my day.

    Thank you, I just came across your video and it is amazing!! My husband passed away when I was 7m pregnant with our third child…and was left with a home we had purchased 1.5yrs prior that had basically no landscaping (an 8yr old house that was so neglected…the yard literally looked like it was from the movie Jumanji). I have been struggling on choosing perennials..I tend to grab for pinks/purples…and I have this issue that I try to make everything symmetrical and matching…and well it just doesn’t have the same flair as what you are showing…haha so I have lots to learn. I can’t wait to look through your other videos, thank you so much…keep teaching and sharing your wonderful knowledge!!

I got very excited about the Japanese Maple because it’s nearly impossible to find one for zone 3, and I found thru research the Orangeola is zone 5/6?? I prefer to plant specimen trees/shrubs one zone lower than I am. I will find something suitable. These types of videos are a real gift, Thank you so much!!!! Brenda🇨🇦ZN4
