The Sunken Garden
The Sunken Garden
In this video I’m showing one of the gardens 15 rooms - The Sunken Garden. This is a white container garden with many spring bulbs. It’s a passion for me to work with both colors and garden design.
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.

Ok. How many of us here want a house tour as well and a trip to Denmark 🇩🇰? Fabulous sunken garden!
You’re more like a very gracious host than a KZreadr. I feel like we’ve just had a splendid visit.

Well said I never thought of him that way. He is so calming a real joy to watch.
Thank you Claus for the tour of the sunken garden it is beautiful and also thank you to Alexandra from the 'middle sized garden ' for recommending Claus's videos.
WOW!!! From the opening until the end is completely magical!!
oh, Chopin is the perfect music to show us this garden: imagine sitting there in the early morning with that first cup of coffee/tea, and in the evening with a glass of wine - how serene and delightful that would be!! just beautiful!
That aerial shot just took my breath away, absolutely beautiful!

What a beautiful way to reuse the swimming pool. I'm so happy you are on KZread. Your garden is a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow. You have a tulip named after you. What an honour. Everything is so cohesive.
Sir, please translate your books into English. I would love to read them. Your gardens are breath taking my beautiful.☺️

Love the music. Thanks for doing these videos in English. After watching few of your videos, I understand why Laura from Garden Answer wants you to help design her new greenhouse.
You are living in selfmade paradise.
My mother used to play the song on her piano. She was a wonderful pianist.
I love that the tulip is named after you Sir, “Claus Daley”!❤️🥰
The Claus Dalby tulip is such a casual flex.

@@gardengirl7446 it's when you casually show something off. Like flexing your muscles to that someone else can see it, but trying to make it look casual. All of this sounds super negative though and I didn't mean it in a negative way.
The soft color combinations are so soothing and peaceful. Sunken garden is magnificent.
There's something so magical about your garden.
What a stunning garden Claus! I should say garden rooms with all different colour schemes and plants. Cannot believe it is real that we finally get to see your garden on KZread! Thank you for sharing all your expertise & gardens with us. It is such a privilege! 🪴💚🙏🪴💚🙏. That aerial shot is unreal & truly took my breath away. 💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you for sharing your garden and, in this video, orienting us by showing the map of your whole property.
More more MORE!! We love you Claus....just walking around showing us EVERYTHING is amazing.
When you invited us to possibly have our own container gardens where we could move around plants and gave different themes as time goes by I felt so special. 🥺 Thank you for sharing your garden with us Claus!
Love it love it love it…palest of yellows, which is the essence of spring.
I am so happy that you are now on KZread. I am following you on Instagram but it is never enough for me to see all the beautiful pictures of your garden. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Best whishes from germany.
Beautiful as always Claus. I think my favorite part is the small trees and shrubs in the middle of the yew hedge that sort of dangle over it all. And I quite like this springy color scheme.
This has to be my favorite of all your Beautiful gardens. The soft creamy yellow is soothing and creates a delicate look to each type of flower. This is where I would want to hide away with a good book.
In 2006 we moved into our current home on Vancouver Island, British Columbia - on the west coast of Canada. The following year we dug a pond, lined it with a liner, and brought in many tons of rocks to hold the liner in place and create terraced areas both within the pond and bordering it. In 2019, we drained the pond, cut out the bottom liner and a number of sections of the liner along the sides, and created a 'sunken' rock garden. This has a somewhat 'quarry-like' feel to it and I have planted ornamental strawberries and many succulents in this area. Our entire gardens are very informal and somewhat 'wild', and looking at your formal gardens and gorgeous spaces brings me peace and great pleasure. I look forward to your videos and thank you for joining the KZread community with them!
I absolutely love how this is a perfect example of how a formal garden and complete freeform container garden compliment each other. All of the pots in the same color scheme and being able to switch them out is genius. I can't wait to see the rest of your garden.
I love the formality of the structure of the space and the sense of informality of the potted plants that can be moved as you desire.
I now have a special Claus Dalby page in my gardening notebook and I record the names of the plants you describe! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden.
The sunken garden is so beautiful! I love the limited color pallet. It’s so peaceful. And the chartreuse plants are gorgeous. Tulip “Clause Dalby”is very beautiful and a fitting tribute to your artistry.
Claus your garden is simply the most inspirational space I’ve seen in a very long time! Absolutely stunning!

Hard to believe a pool was there before. The Sunken Garden looks like it was always part of the beautiful landscape.
Absolutely gorgeous!! The overhead shot with white, chartreuse and green was stunning! Looking forward to seeing more of your garden
I think in need some ‘Claus Dalby’ tulips in my own garden. 🥰
Nina, I total agree with you; WOW! Claus, I’m in total awe of your garden and how magnificently it is staged and put together. It is just exquisite. The flowers, the garden accessories, and stone work, the hedges; it’s just perfection. 💖
Such a charming gentleman and it shows in your garden Mr. Dalby. Simply inspirational & classic! We are most appreciative of you sharing!
Your garden is ethereal especially with the grand music in the background. The pairing is a choice made in Heaven. Your garden is masterfully designed, and perfectly wonderful. I feel a deep bond as well due to my Scandinavian heritage. I’m so thankful to Laura at Garden Answer for providing the introduction. I look forward to more of your videos. God Bless.
I really love the spring flowers with the accent pieces, columns and urns. Provides structure. Very beautiful. What an honor to have a tulip named for you. They are extraordinary.
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for creating such a special KZread account and sharing with us.
Exactly what Mimi just said. Your gardens are peaceful, harmonious and inspiring. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Love it all Claus!! So happy you made it to KZread! 🌸🌿🌷
That's a brilliant idea to convert a swimming pool to a sunken garden. So many possibilities with containers.
The sunken garden is stunning 🦋 I can’t wait for the next tour
Your garden does not need sculptures because your evergreens are sculptures in themselves. Thanks for sharing Mr. Clause Dalby.
Such harmony in your sunken garden and I love the music choice.. Absolutely beautiful. 💛
Härligt med en inspirerande Skandinavisk KZreadkanal! Jag ser fram emot alla spännande videor! Tack!! 💚
Oh my! Your garden is beyond words beautiful!! You took my breath away when you showed the aerial view and at the end the walking view! Just heavenly! Thank you so much for sharing your garden 😊
>Love the containers filled with tulips and narcissi. Beautiful eye candy.
I love pots and moving them around oh Claus what a joy to see your garden. The music is so appropriate the garden is a symphony🎻🎶💌
This makes my heart happy- the beauty, peace and tranquillity, the music- so calming !! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 💕
Great idea Claus - planting in pots. That gives you so much scope for completely changing the look of the garden.
I love how all your terracotta pots match you brick pavers so that they disappear in the background 👍🏽
That garden is absolutely spectacular! I love the white/yellow theme. The music choice was perfect as well.
So happy you are taping KZread videos of your lovely garden
so, so beautiful. can t wait to see what magic you will create in the coming month. Thank you so much for posting!!!!!!
Perfect choice of music for this garden, which is a much better use of the space than a swimming pool, IMO. I'll bet all those white flowers just glow in the moonlight. Thank you for showing us. ~ Lisa
You make me happy.🥰 Thank you so much for these beautiful minutes
I'm so pleased to hear you talk about your garden 'rooms' and no lawns. I'd love to hear more about the different types of rooms, how they integrate with each other (or not) and was this an evolution? What did you start with?
So beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for putting some plant names on the screen!
The sunken garden is so beautiful. What an awesome idea and transformation from an old swimming pool. Thank you for sharing your love of flowers with us.💚
What a beautiful soul creating and sharing such a wonderful and inspiring piece of paradise! 🌼
Oh my goodness, this white sunken garden is my favorite. I love white with green. I do in other areas plant other colors, but I love variegated and white/green combos the best. Thank you for sharing.
So beautiful like a painting. I love gardens. Thank you for making this video in english
It is an absolute delight to tour your gardens. Thank you for allowing us in. 💕👍☀️
Watch, gasp, repeat! Beyond brilliant! 🌱🌱🌱💕
Великолепный сад😍!!! У вас безупречный вкус!!! Получаю удовольствие от вашего канала! Спасибо за ваши рекомендации!
Claus, the sunken garden is just stunning! Love the color of the Claus Dalby-tulip. I'll put that one on my list for next spring. And what surprises me is how well white and cream combine together. Cannot wait to see the rest of your garden.💖
I love the garden. The colours are absolutely stunning.
Love the cobbles . It’s so in keeping with the house . Wonderful.
The combination with white and yellows flowers is so relaxing and pleasant to the eye.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I live in USA in North Carolina.
Wow, Laura from Garden Answer said you're a master artist, she's right. I'm so happy for this new channel and look forward to your new book coming soon.
50 rooms and no lawn! I would love it. Your container idea have me buying more containers. I’m using seeds to start more and more flowers! You are an inspiration! Thank you Laura for introducing this amazing guy to me! I see why she thinks so highly of you.
This changed my gardening life. Now I can't dig or move plants, this is the answer. I'e bought beautiful tulip bulbs and fresh compost with no weeds: Already, I can "see" the difference containers will make; even a nearly-white garden. Thank you Claus.

Oh I also would love to read your books in English-language. Your gardens are breathtaking.
I absolutely lovely sunken in gardens. I have fond memories of one in a park in London. What a wonderful use of an old swimming pool! I do enjoy setting the stage as it were with containers. Lovely to see it in such a beautiful setting.
