Welcome to my Woodland Garden
Today I will take you on a little tour to my Woodland Garden. Its such a pleasure to have parts with shades in the garden and here I’m not only playing with flowers but also with foliage an leave plants, who like the shade. I love playing with different shades of green and to create structure I also have some garden antiques around.
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.

Am I the only one who would have enjoyed a longer garden tour? I mean the planting varieties and their combinations are drool worthy. I could watch this again and again and see something different every time.
So very lovely, Claus! I think flowers are to the eyes (and nose) what music is to the ears. You have presented all these to perfection. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gardens. 💚
Thanks for sharing your woodland paradise!

A true passionate gardener who cannot help but caress and touch his flowers as he walks by or talks about them. So lush and green and vibrant, this garden glows with love. Thanks you for the tour and the helpful information - I appreciate knowing the latin names so I can google them.

Textural layering in this area is *gorgeous* . How could anyone walk by without exploring this? Ok Claus, you've really got me drawn to those two very large leaf plants (Astilboides tabularis & Rodgersia podophylla). I'm convinced I need both of them, LOL!🤩 Lovely tour - thank you so much.🙂

Your woodland garden is so full and lush almost like a tropical garden and I am fascinated by the larger leafed plants.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful woodland spot. Gorgeous foliage! That Lamium looked so similar to our stinging nettle (Pacific Northwest), I winced when you lifted up the leaves. :-o. :-D
Who would have thought that one could have such an abundance of beautiful plants in the shade 👏 SO beautiful!

Such a great video full of wonderful ideas on the often overlooked shade garden. I really appreciated the advice to cut down early the plant I know as bleeding hearts in order for it to regenerate foliage for the rest of the growing season. If possible, please present another video on the red and burgundy leafed plants in your shade garden. Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing and giving names of each plant. I love woodland gardens

It is exciting to see a woodland garden. We are urged to plant more trees for carbon capture, but planting a garden with trees takes more thought. Fortunately you have done most of the work. Thank you.
Such a peaceful and beautiful woodland. Thanks Claus.

As always, your garden is sublime. This woodland garden is a real departure from the vibrant containers you showcase. It is equally beautiful, and so serene. In a previous video, you featured Sissinghurst in Kent. I have visited it and it is superb, but on a much bigger site. I find your garden just as unique and awe inspiring. I can barely control my excitement when I see that you have posted another video. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for sharing so many beautiful flowers and sharing the shade ones. I have a very large shade area in my yard all summer long there is no sun that gets through just too many trees in the winter that there is sun in there because all the trees lose their leaves so I was very interested in your Woodland garden and on top of that I do a lot of fairy gardens in my yard so this will make it easier for me to try to find something that will work well thank you so much for all your wonderful tips hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie. Love the balloon garden thing thank you for sharing it with us

A very beautiful wild garden Claus, which might help those with difficult areas. Without clearing land, a small part planted with mixed saplings, tough plants and shrubs, then small areas cleared and planted too. Romans brought ground elder to England where it's a pernicious weed; wild garlic is too. Ferns are wonderful because the dead leaves make a mulch.Dead tree trunks get fungi, attract bugs, feed birds. Magical places!
Thank you Claus. Videos of your beautiful gardens are a favorite respite.

Wow, so lush and just magical. I'm wondering if your winters are milder than mine because so many of these plants I've never seen. I am in Connecticut, US. The winter here can go down to -17 c to -20 c, though it is rare. (Nomi)
So beautiful! your plants are huge! I live outside of Montreal, Québec, Canada and we have some varieties like you, much they don't grow as big! Thank you for the tour and introduction to new plants that I had never seen before!

I was so looking forward to see Claus’ woodland garden. It helps a lot to re-imagine mine, which is also half-shade so I can ‘steal’ many of these ideas. One question about the two lilies: are they fragrant? I have a moderate allergy to the smell of lilies, and usually avoid them (other than day lilies). THX

The shade loving martagon lilies (the first ones in the video) are not fragrant. They are really wonderful plants for a shady garden and come in many colors though pink is the most common one.
Beautiful tour of the woodlands the texture and color draws you in so peaceful. Thank you
