John's prairie border: looking lush before flowers 

JL, your informative clips are always educational, hysterical and entertaining! I learn more in 6 minutes from you, than a 58 min.episode of Gardener's World. You are the Monty Don of Ireland. Next time I'm in Dublin, I need to visit your incredible nursery/gardens/cafe... TY. Erin

I absolutely love your style of gardening..it's the style I base my garden on..keep up the great work your videos are so educational and very entertaining..

Again, another wonderful video. Because I’ve watched and learned, I’m busy moving plants and things are taking hold and looking good. So enjoy watching your video. Does making these videos stress you out ? Hopefully not you are the envy of all your subscribers I’m sure. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

I love your Little Story About the Dentist. Thanks! :-)

You have a lovely little companion there. My border terrier inspects everything I do in the garden. He loves eating zinnias, all cucurbit & gourd foliage, borage, baby carrots, kale and even broadbean pods that I discard. 🤣

Hello, John! I recently found your channel and after watching one or two episodes, I subscribed. What I really enjoyed about this presentation is that foliage is so very important. Combing color, texture & shape make a garden that has not begun to bloom still enthralling IMHO. I am trying very hard to juxtapose these elements in my own garden...examples: large leafed yellow-green against ferny black, fuzzy gray against smooth purple. I don't even want to get into flowering times, color and shape of the bloom! By the way, Joe Pye Weed grows wild here but it is enormous. I believe there is a cultivar that is much smaller like the plant you have.. Bringing wild flowers into the garden can be devastating. Once a wild plant encounters amended soil rich in nutrients, the plants that have thrived on subsistence go absolutely crazy and then the gardener has a monster problem with which to deal! May I make a suggestion? Why don't you start a tutorial program for visiting gardeners. They pay to come to your center, learn, work(free) and do a hands on apprenticeship. I think it would be smashing and even though I detest flying, I would come. Thank you, thank you, and again thank you! I think you are marvelous! Regards and all the best. Please stay safe, Maria

This is great stuff!. Always look forward to more. Especially love the seasonal relevance of each video.

Thank you for the tour. Your garden looks beautiful even with all the green. We've had a cool and wet May and June so far in Michigan.

I was looking forward to the new prairie garden videos. U inspired me with your videos last year, so i made my own little prairie project.

Thank you for all the fabulous videos. I love the plant list also. Would you ever consider posting plans and explaining the ideas behind your designs?

Beautiful! Thank you John, David, and Teddy! Love the Teddy shot at the end.

It is very interesting to see the prairie garden at the pre-flowering stage. I am looking forward to seeing it all flower. It would be great (if you have time) if you could show another pre-flowering video, when everything is in bud or when just a few of these plants are flowering. Do you add potash or other fertilisers to promote flowering? Do you water this garden and if so, how often?

PS I love your videos. They are so informative and entertaining.

I agree with you as to the Joe Py Weed, can be very weedy........

Джон, ты красавчик. Мне бы твой энтузиазм, силы, ум, вкус, работоспособность и доброту, щедрость и трудолюбие.. Ты создаёшь рай на Земле, пусть Бог помогает тебе во всём, удачи,крепкого здоровья и долгих лет жизни. С Новым 2020 м и Рождеством. Привет из Украины, из города у моря Одессы

Magnificent!

3:28 wow. what is that lovely cloud of pink blooms? cornus? azalea? cheers.

I don't see the Persicaria used in American gardens. It seems to be a wonderful plant.

Some of these plants are sold here as shade plants and I was afraid to try them in sun. I used to live in the woods, and grew to love foliage plants that I can’t have here, so I love your in the preflower season.

Ты человек компьютер? Как можно запомнить столько наименований цветов, кустов , леревьев, тем более на латыни? Фантастика, наверное ты с другой Галактики

Hello new subcriber on ur channel

There are small lakes of water, punctuating the foliage landscape ..... on explanation they are waves of short fine miscanthus ! ( I think ) ....Not yet in flower, the prairie garden is a forest with layers of lush bushes and lakes in front .

What is the tall hedge behind you at 13:15?

Teddy

What makes a prairie garden ?

Hot days are coming🙋🏼‍♀️😅

I don’t see any lavender or Holly bushes
