This concept is incredibly helpful for new and experienced gardeners, especially for seasonal interest. I don’t know how many times I’ve just wandered around aimlessly in a garden centre trying to find what I need, reading too many tags. Very frustrating. These are no brainers. We so appreciate the effort to develop this.
This is amazing!!! The alternate layout idea is genius!!!! I hope this continues, I think beginning gardeners especially will appreciate this. Wish I had this years ago!
Looking fantastic Jenny. It so much easier when you see the plants and you have them right there for sale. Brilliant. Easy peasy. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You have made designing a flowerbed so easy with the EZscapes. To put the plants to buy right by the flowerbeds is genius! You and Jerry run an exceptional nursery,/ garden shop. I admire your work ethic. You run a first-rate operation. Kudos to you.
This turned out beautiful! EZ Scapes are nice. You don't have think too much. Just follow the plan. Jenny, would you consider doing a video in the fall for what you prune/cutback and how you do it? And then one for late winter/early spring? Those would be so helpful ☺️
Like to water the hole to fill, let it seep down, and do it again. Living in Virginia, heat and humidity are treacherous in the summer for new plantings. Also, have heard just soak the whole plant in water to get to all the roots. Watering the ground after planting is difficult to reach the roots.
I do both, soak the plant in a bucket of water and water the hole, twice if need be. Southern heat and clay means our poor plants need all the help they can get!
I love nurseries that have display gardens that can be shopped easily. Such a great idea and it's nice to see the plants at fuller maturity a couple years down the road. Better Homes and Gardens magazine also has a ton of downloadable garden plans for all different situations. They helped me out immensely when I was first getting started creating my garden spaces.
Absolutely LOVE when Jerry panned out at the end of your video. The green house and all the flowers is so beautiful And those hanging baskets inside wow!
Darn, girl - I wish I didn’t live 800 miles from your nursery. Love the video, the concept and the “EZ” way of designing and shopping for plants. I’ll be putting this to work in my garden, for sure. Thanks for keeping it real.
I love a preassembled outfit when I shop for clothes. I usually buy the component pieces, but I often find something else that will coordinate with those pieces. These recipes are great for inspiration. Jenny, I love how you brought in your muscle, Jerry, to finish auging those planting holes. That clay soil with roots is tough work!
It really doesn’t get any EZ-ier than this. :) I love the designs; simple and doable for anyone with great color contrast. Definitely going to check these out and share the info too with my gardening friends. Thanks so much sharing. P.S. I luv your Coolibar shirt; can’t garden w/o them - they keep my freckles from connecting lol.
Thank you for introducing us to this concept! I really needed shade ideas and this is perfect for me. Now if I only had a Gardening with Creekside in Alabama.🙃. Great video.
I love the idea of putting your compost around your pots first!!! Lol I feel like this would be so helpful with getting exact placement of plants I struggle with this so much for some reason🤪
@@allysonh6410 She filled the almost full container with cans at the right height and dropped soil around them. Pulled out the cans and slipped in the plants in the voids. Quick and easy, especially with the pokey mangave she planted.
I like to use a really bright red heuchera in shady spots so it draws the eye from a distance. I also like bright red caladiums and coleus. But white foliage and chartreuse foliage are great for shade too.
This is absolutely brilliant! I follow Laura on Garden Answer as I now live in Oregon, but we are moving to Mississippi in September and can't wait to build a lovely new garden at our new home. We will be learning the new zone and can't wait to see all the plants that we will be able to grow there that we can't necessarily grow here. Thanks for the quickstart, love this idea!
Miss Jenny, I just purchased and planted some red hot pokers - it's not a flower I'm familiar with but thought they looked so cool. I wasn't sure if I could deadhead the spent bloom or if it would hinder blooms next year. Here you are featuring them!! Stay cool, my friend.
Jenny. I absolutely Love this EZ garden plan tool. I am just adding some raised beds in my back yard in a wooded area and of course, stopped to clean up tree canopies and yard area entering the backyard. Because who wants to go through an ugly mess to get to their vegetable patch. I was just coming to the realization that I need an auger to plant in the newly cleared area, and there you are with a perfect plan and great instructions. Thank you so much. Now I just have to cough up the $$ for tge bigger drill...
I love this idea and the combinations they put together! I may have to use some of these. It's getting very difficult to not come spend all of my paycheck at your place!
Hi Mrs. Jenny and Mr. Jerry, when I started watching your videos I always wondered why you didn't have more plants and flowers around your house and nursery. I'm so glad you have started planting on your property. This was a informative video thank you. Have a great day 😀.
How exciting. I love that you focused time on the shade bed. Speaking of kniphophia...it is semi-evergreen for me but the foliage looks pretty bad in the spring. Can it be sheared down at that time?
Wish had this 26 years ago when I started this acre garden. Jenny, did you mix the Bio Tone in the hole a bit before putting the plant in? I so wish your nursery was in Oklahoma!
Planting under trees is no easy task. Lots of roots and mesh like root veins. Digging by hand is nearly impossible. Have scraped out a depression, placed the plant with some food and added great soil to the height and width of the plant, mostly above the soil level. Then, I added lots more soil to level out the rest of the soil around the plants. Envy bringing in soil by the truck load, but I can’t do that, so I buy by the bag. Experience has shown that it takes almost double the amount of soil I think it will. So, I consider carefully before planting at the base of trees now. The effort has been worth it long term, but hauling heavy bags of soil, whether in a wheelbarrow or by hand, is difficult at best, and it takes lots of soil. Haven’t invested in an auger or good drill, but that might be a real asset. Does take muscle to handle an auger in difficult soil, it can kick back on you. So, all in all, a challenging task for me at least.
Planting under trees is no easy task and most people end up killing them because they don't know what they are doing. After doing research I found out just in time some trees I had could not be planted under.
You always need knowledge with any task, especially gardening, and there is lots of information available from many sources. Your vision for your garden may not be possible, as pre-existing conditions will determine much of your success. Planting under trees is one of those conditions. Light, water, soil condition, all matter, and the type of tree itself. Then, add the local animal life, and it can be a daunting task. But, research will usually open a wealth of information about what and how to go about planting for success. Even at that, planting can be hit and miss, so perseverance is also a gardening necessity.
@@maureenmckenna5220 Unfortunately by the the time the tree shows stress it can be years later but it is usually too late because people mistakenly think something else got it or it just 'lived it's life". Trees last for hundreds and thousands of years and do keep growing. Case in point - a guy planted iris under a maple tree - amended with lots compost and mulch on top. Every year you could see dieback on top and within 5 years of course the tree was dead. Before that tree was healthy.
@@maureenmckenna5220 Luckily I know an excellent Certified Arborist and read credible books on woodland gardens and educated myself because I have several trees and woods that I am slowly bringing back the woodland garden that used to be there. Good Luck!
Love this idea’s, my favorite is the shade garden. Jennie could you please list where you got your Toolbelt I would love to have one of those. It looks super handy.
Hey Jenny have you had any problems with the compost washing away when you put it in an area like this? I tried this last year n this year and when we have a lot of rain it washes the soil away and leaves the top of the root ball exposed. So we have to put borders around those areas. Thank you 😊 your gardens are so beautiful 🥰
Gosh! I just delivered a load of yard waste at our community compost site and saw lots of straight logs, birch. I considered hauling some home, but the diameter was at least 6". Too big (and heavy) for my berm garden. Maybe I should have thought more about that. I feel I'm constantly adding more bags of soil each spring.
Hi Jenny, I just love these EZ Land scapes plans. Jenny, do you think a Hardy Hibiscus would do well at the Outer Banks,NC??? We have kinda like a side yard that I want to be pretty & colorful. It is sandy soil. We are not on a sprinkler system. We have to pay for water there. Help..... 😂😂🤣🤣
Good Morning Jenny, yes I agree with you. Nothing is deer proof, yesterday walked out to one of my larger beds father from my house and the deer had removed the top of the corner Hydrangea! 🙄 I hope they enjoyed it since we have 9 acres of beautiful pasture grass surrounding my house, go figure?❤️🌺
I feel your pain! We are overrun with deer, surrounded by pastures, but they eat my flowers. I was told deer aren't grazers like cattle, apparently they like their food up off the ground some. Don't know if that's true, but based on the type of damage in my flower beds, it makes sense.
Love your videos! You and Jerry do a fantastic job! I have had illness in our family and have not fertilized my hydrangeas, azaleas, roses etc. since in late Feb. I had marked my calendar for a repeat fertilizer application in June. Is it too late to fertilize now? I know I don’t want to push growth into winter. I am in zone 7 Georgia. Thanks for your input.
Good morning Jenny! Love the idea of the easy scapes! Do they also include different planting ideas based on which zone you live in? I’m in zone 4 so the red hot pokers wouldn’t work for me?? Thanks for all your informative beautiful videos!!!
