Dry Shade Gardening Tips & Woodland Garden Tour 

The audio was good enough that my cat stopped to listen to the bird sounds thinking that they were close by. Beautiful garden!

Wow! I'm only six minutes into this video and have learned so much already. This is one of the most beautiful dry shade beds I've ever seen---in life or on the internet. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden and tips and wisdom!

I love how you layer the shade plantings with the pots! Just gorgeous?😍

One of the best garden I have seen. Great job explaining it all!

Nicole, this video really made me miss all the gorgeous foliage of the plants in my landscape that are sleeping (in hibernation) right now. Thanks for releasing this pleasant footage, even though you weren't pleased with the audio. Last year, I added many evergreen shrubs and small evergreen trees to elevate the winter interest in my garden, and I love how it's starting to look. Thanks for sharing your lovely gardens with us. ~Margie

Now, this is truly a great example of what a shade garden should look like! Wow! Thanks for showing us around. Especially love your combination towards the end of the tour of the hydrangea and lamiUM...not lamiUN. Just beautiful...all of it.💜💜

Gorgeous

I'm absolutely LOVING shady / woodland gardening, can't even believe it myself, it's such a different exercise from the obvious "sunny garden, gardening" 😍

Hi Everyone! This video was done in August of 2021 and I didn't publish it because I was having a lot of problems with the audio. I cleaned it up as best as I can and decided to publish it. Thanks for your patience!

Beautiful

What a lovely surprise to see a video from your garden in the summer! It's cold in 7B here north of Atlanta. Loved it!! Thank you!!! I didn't notice any audio problems.

Gah!! I need spring to get here now. 😩 I can't take it anymore!!

Found you today and so happy I did. Living in the Piney Woods of N. Michigan I have dry and shady conditions. I keep rabbits & chickens for compost. I got lots of ideas on color, texture and placement in your video. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration.🌿

Always a pleasure to see your garden and listen to your advice.

the cat is also the star in this video :) phenomenal garden! can't wait to try my hand at a shade garden I can enjoy for years

Your gardens are so beautiful!

Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... Awesome... Full watched. Thanks Have a happy day!

Your garden is amazing🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing. Helen

An enjoyable video. Loved the tips and your gorgeous garden

Thanks for the many gardening tips. This garden is beautiful and your creativity is amazing. I'm going to try and find more of your vids, (not tech savy) wish me luck.

Im so happy I found your channel! Just started gardening and I have trees surrounding a smaller size property so I get mostly shade! This gives me so much inspiration!

Love it, you have given me so many ideas on what to plant on the shadey side of , my house. I have items there, but the area is no way as full and pleasing to the eye as yours. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences 🙏

Love your garden so much, gorgeous.

What a beautiful garden! I’m longing for summer to hurry and come!

I love your garden . Im taking notes!

Loved this video and your garden is so stunning! Thanks for all the tips.. I have a large dry shade woodland garden as well that I'm trying to build and I find these tips to be very useful. I love the Caladiums.. they are so so stunning!

Inspiring! Thank you 😊

Absolutely beautiful garden! Do you leave Caladiums out in the ground for winter? Which hardiness zone are you gardening in? Thank you! ❤

Awesome tips thanks for sharing

Your garden is beautiful. What you did to it with little light and sun is fantastic. I love the bike and the basket of flowers. So creative. I'd love that in a photoshoot. I'm helping a neighbor with a brink planter box in front of her home which gets about 3 hours of morning dappled light. After watching your video I'm thinking smaller hostas, caladium, and Lamium for sure, and maybe a few inpatients for a pop of color. It's about 8' x 2'. Zone 9b What do you think?

Oh my gosh. WHERE did you get that fountain!!? I had one in my garden for many years and loved it so much. It was similar to yours and the water sound was amazing. I love that it wasn’t ornate, ya know? More French and oeganic. As if it had been there 100 years. We moved and my husband refused to pay to move the fountain because it was massive and concrete. Lol. And I’ve never seen another one similar. I miss it. Your garden is lovely:) thank you. I just want to sit there, hear the birds and enjoy the sounds.

Just lovely. Guessing you’re near Philly? I hear a slight accent especially when you say wooder instead of water

Beautiful garden..Amazing👌👌

Hi Nicole 👋🏼 beautiful garden tour just fabulous 🤩👍🏼🌱 Chip 🌱 CHIPS WORLD

Thank you so much for this lovely video, Nicole! The caladium are just beautiful! Do you dig them out in fall?

Absolutely Stunning!!! How do you save your caladium bulbs for the winter? TFS your Gorgeous Garden!! Blessings!❤️❤️

I would like to see a tour to your entire garden. Please?

Hi Nichol. Wow amazing garden. I too have dry Sandy soil here in zone 7b Queens NY. How often do you put down the organic compost to amend your soil? I’ve been doing the shredded leaf as natural mulch & I use organic espoma fertilizer yet I feel it’s not enough… there are some plants that do better then others. It’s always a working progress. TY for sharing.

This is gorgeous! Do you pull out the caladiums or just plant new each year?

I can not get a shade garden going due to sun surrounding my entire yard throughout the day. The deers eat up every plant I love especially the hostas

would I have to dig up caladium bulbs every fall/winter?

How much time do you spend maintaining the garden?

So do you add the caladiums every year for a splash of color?

Like your cat. It obviously wants attention to be on the cat, not the garden.

I didn’t know the climbing hydrangea grew in the shade.
