Many of you have asked about our garden lights. They are from Clas Ohlson which is a Scandinavian hardware chain, we are not sure where you can find them elsewhere. Happy hunting!
Clematis grower Raymond Evison met our late Queen at the Chelsea Flower Show 20 years ago where she told him she would love them at Balmoral in Scotland but didn’t believe she could grow them there. He assured her they would, and over the years sent her many plants and visited often to check on them. Recently, he said that he would still continue to visit and tend to them to make sure that Clematis would continue to thrive at Balmoral. I love your garden, it’s so beautiful. The Rowantree is my favourite tree, and in Scotland it is believed to ward off evil, so it is a good one to have in your garden. 🌸🌿
I love the wildness of your garden. You clearly put much thought and effort into it, but it has a casual, comfortable feel that is relaxed but still harmonious. I appreciate seeing it in all its glory across the seasons. Takk!
I don't remember the garden ever being as lush and green as this! It's fantastic. And it's nice to see that those lucky insects of yours have more than one hotel :)
You guys! You make my day. Always and All ways. When living in the Caribbean Mother Earth does not know the difference between summer, spring and fall. Love to you and your garden.
Oh, I absolutely loved this episode! Your garden and home are exquisite and charming and seemingly effortlessly beautiful - but I can only imagine the time and creativity that have gone into every corner. And the cozy sweaters are perfect - can't wait for the pattern xx
What an enchanting respite in your own back yard! Your hard work is evident in every turn as you stroll along the pathways! Thank you for sharing your garden haven! 🌿 🙂
I love your garden ! Using slate tiles for a planter is genius, holds the heat, protects insects, just wonderful. You inspire me all the time, I also like a garden that just looks wild ( but isn't really ). As a Canadian I can say your Canadian Rose should take freezing temps just fine, we're used to that here. Your sweaters look so cozy I can't wait for the pattern, I've been re-watching your brioche tutorials and am ready to try it on this sweater. Have a wonderful week, see you Wed
Arne and Carlos, you have created a magical botanical garden ! "In nature nothing exists alone" is a quote by Rachel Carson. This is so true. I'm sure you will have a healthy insect population with all the diversity in your gardens. Happy Fall 🦋🐝🐞
sYour patio looks so inviting and comfortable. Your garden is lovely. I love the gerranims(?) I can see someone sitting on the deck knitting. Thank you for sharing,
We love ferns in Oregon. I have a volunteer in a small area of my garden and I was thrilled to see it grow there for the first time this year. I've gone to a greenhouse nearby that sells different varieties of Ferns and Hosta's. It was a lovely place to see because they displayed their varieties in a wooded area as walked through to get to the greenhouses. I'm surprised about not being able to buy or plant lupine. That's another plant I love, however it brought a fungus to my garden the one year I had them, so I don't have them any longer, but we're allowed to grow them here. You guys have a lovely garden, plus it's so big, I think you must have a secret watering system I haven't heard about yet. Thanks for the lovely tour.
Beautiful garden! I got to hike with my daughter who lives in Crested Butte, Colorado. This was in August, & it was so wonderful to see the Columbine. There were white ones too!
Watching on July 31 2024 . Just a beautiful garden . Sounds like your flowers love you as much as you love them . Amazing how some of them grows when its not normal for them to grow 😊 Im sure your proud an know you take care of them . Enjoyed ❤❤
The garden is beautiful Arne and Carlos. Thank you for the tour. Even though it is fall it is so beautifully green. Love the “ flower pot” created with the roof tiles, looks very pretty. Take care and stay blessed, looking forward to the kitchen garden tour.
The sweaters are fab and I cannot wait for the pattern. But the fact that you use your Designing skills in all aspects of your life is Fantastic. I would have learned so much from the both of you.❤
What a fabulous episode. Such a wild and magical garden that takes lots of TLC. I love all the different zones and rooms. "Pajama gardener" was hilarious Carlos. I could see you running a nursery. You are both such fun, so knowledgeable and amazing. People would never want to leave! Love visiting with you both. Thanks for taking us around your magical garden. Those lights would be something to see at night- mystical and eery. Thanks so much, Lisa, Canada ❤️
I am a pajamas gardener too! I go out on summer mornings, with my cup of tea, and sit and watch the sunrise. Then I see a weed or a rose that needs deadheading, and there I go tool in hand. You know how it is , 1 hour later I go in to pour another cup of tea.
Your climate allows your flowers to bloom and stay green throughout the summer. In our part of California where the summers can be in the three digits for months and without rains everything dries up and our foothills are brown. 😢 Its best to have drought tolerant plants. Thank you for sharing!
Your garden is SO lovely and its obvious you do a lot of work in it. Im surprised that you have such large plants in the high mountains, but each plant has its favorite climate. Yours all seem extremely happy in your garden.
Spectacular! Such peaceful places. 😌 I can envision sitting with a book or some needlework. Having a light beverage in the summer, hot drink as the weather gets cooler. You guys have provided me with a few new prayer & meditation virtual happy places. 😊 Tusen takk
Loved seeing your hosta, so healthy looking! Here, my many hostas are decimated by the influx of deer we've had. But deer *don't* seem to eat Lenten Rose Hellebore, so they are filling in the hosta holes! Nature takes away & nature gives back!
It’s true that gardens are organisms unto themselves. In the summer of 2021, the huge apple tree in our backyard produced maybe 1,000 apples. This year, summer of 2022, the same tree produced only about one dozen apples. So strange! it was a very dry summer here in upstate New York and many crops suffered from the lack of rain. I spent yesterday tidying up my strawberry planters, including cutting off the long runners and planting them in a new part of my garden. I hope they take root before we have our first frost, so next year I should have twice as many strawberry plants. We have a flower field just like yours only much bigger. We call it the wildflower meadow. I love how it attracts many insects, butterflies and birds. It also shelters lots of mice, voles and other small creatures like garter snakes. All of them are important to the ecosystem. I so enjoyed the tour of your garden, as well as your passion for all of your plants.
Thank you so much for this tour of your beautiful gardens!! 💖My father-in-law used to say "It's only a weed if you don't want it. " I loved when he said that.... while looking sideways at the common Mullein growing in my perennial garden. But the finches and downy woodpeckers love the seeds.... so to me it's not a weed!😂
Thank you for the lovely tour of your garden! I didn’t realize how extensive and diverse it is. I, too, love Columbines and purposely scatter them for spring surprises. I have a large deep purple with white center growing from the center of a large liriope - what a display! Sometimes Nature creates amazing combinations with no help from us! I love your gardens! ❤
I learned so much from this video!!! I just bought my first house and the yards need a lot of work. I have fruit trees but I want to plant lots of flowers. I can see from your work, that there is a lot of trial and error. And to be patient and work WITH Mother Nature.
Amazing Tour!!! So many varieties in your garden Arne and Carlos. you both have such a calm and relaxed way at which you share of yourselves. Always with hint of twinkle in your eyes!!! I am ever so thankful for your Videos. Thank you from Minnesota
I love the clematis seed heads. LateClematis is my Ravelry name. I made a pottery pendant by pressing a seed head into soft clay, then firing and glazing it.
My style of gardening is to let things grow where they want to. Whether it's along a fence, up a tree, or up the side of the house. I, too, have self seeded ferns all over my garden, because I love them. My columbine, also travels in my garden. I have some beautiful dusty pink violets, that have seeded themselves all across the pots on my deck! I have a bad habit of poking seeds or cuttings into what ever pot or space in the garden is handy! I always have a pair of secateurs in my car, in case I see a chance for a cutting I have to have.🐝🌼🌱
The more We learn about you, your activities, interests, where you travel, your garden your professional work, I have no idea how you do it all. Please tell me you have an army of helpers😊
I savor a ramble through your gardens. In the depth of our winters in Northern New England, I love to ponder my garden notes, sip the new catalogues trickling in, and make a new page for next season. My garden journal is a loose-leaf notebook with graph and blank paper. It is so easy to add to. I get it, Arne! It is fascinating to listen to the dramatic differences in our climates and temps. I feel like I have to visualize it upside-down to understand. It is fun. You have created not only a lovely habitat but a generous contribution to our Earth...its creatures great and small. Thank you!!
Oh, good that Rob is going inside for the winter! I've ordered a nice 'flower' utensil to try out the cookies Arne loves. Will have to check out the coconut/canola oil I can get in Australia. I just adore your garden. Cannot get over how the snow covers everything, yet all the growth comes back in spring/summer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us!
Love your garden and enthusiasm. The roof tiles are slate where your bugs will find a safe home. Hostas are attacked by slugs. Do you have slugs in your garden? This was a joy to watch. Thankyou both xx
Thank you so much for he tour, I’m inspired to get out and do some fall cleanup in our back garden today after watching you wander your beautiful gardens.❤
Hello Arne Carlos, you will be too busy to remember but I used to watch you regularly until my husband passed away suddenly a year ago then it became a bit too painful as we used to enjoy watching you together 😢. My granddaughters and I knitted all the birds that we hung from our kitchen lamp and they were so excited when you put them on one of your podcasts. Anyway I am back and I love your gardening podcasts as I now have become far more interested in my garden and I too have become a pyjama gardener 😁 very relaxing it is too 😊👍🇬🇧 💜🌷💚
Just watched your garden tour-2022. Simply put -It’s an absolute paradise and the lake views are gorgeous. I believe I’d spend entire days there . It’s mid April here and now you have inspired me to start thinking of planting. Watching this was a lovely way to begin my day . Love, Marilyn D USA
Your garden is magnificent!! I thoroughly loved the tour and cannot wait until the kitchen garden is shown! thanks for sharing your love for gardening!
I am also putting my garden to bed. Today I am renewing the lavender bed in the next few days I shall plant sweet peas for next year ILOVE your garden it is a labour of love. Good luck with fall your Bardeen plans xx
I love the wild look your garden has. It is interesting that lupins are banned in Norway, they grew wild in the fields in southern England where I grew up. I find annual flowers difficult here in subtropical Australia so I rely on trees, shrubs and strappy leaved plants like agapanthus for flowers. Annuals take more water than my tanks can supply. Love those garden lights and look forward to seeing them in a future video. Thanks for sharing.
How lovely..What a superb, natural garden. So cared for, and cared about..Please show us again next summer too. Love your videos..feels like I actually know you guys!!
Your gardens are beautiful! What a treat! I like your “rooms” and would like to have them in my garden but it would be a place for a mountain lion or bobcat to hide.
Just came back from touring P.Allen Smiths garden and home outside Little Rock, Arkansas. A must if u are able to work in Little Rock. Cool town with great restrurants and antique shops.
Mange tak for have rundturen, super skøn have i har, jeg er vild med den. Her i Danmark fik vi også en varm forår og senere en meget kølig forsommer, dog ikke så meget frost. jeg har en stor cutting garden så det var lidt udfordringer i maj juni på grund af kulden.
Your garden is so beautiful, and is an inspiration. I want to have lots of bees in my garden, and love that you provide so much insect habitat in your design.
