Shade Gardening | Finishing Touches | Plant Nursery shopping & Haul 

My heart is growing more excited,day by day,as Spring is very close upon us! 50+ years of gardening,and I never stop getting excited each year.

Yes! to moving and rearranging. I often get commenters on my videos saying I move stuff too much. No such thing!

We found a mossy green urn-shaped bubbler fountain, approx. 3 1/2, 4 ft tall a few years ago. It “shows” very well, without taking away from the surrounding plants in our cottage garden. The birds love it and will sit on top of the bubbler and I think I can see them smiling❣️🌻🌷🌻

A blue urn/large pot next to the wall would tie in to your new porcelain blue plants. Beautiful garden

Such a beautiful garden. I hope you have a bench in there to just sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy your hard work. I love your metal fountain. I was thinking maybe you could pull it back from the wall a bit so there is room to walk around it or have a seating area. If you elevated the fountain on concrete blocks, or better yet an upside down metal bin or box, you could plant some beautiful flowers or shrubs around it to add in the color your seeking.

You won my heart saying Filbert as well as part of the fun is moving the plants and dividing. I was born and raised in Eugene. I never moved away from the Willamette Valley. My mom and her family, as well as my husband, worked in the Filbert orchards.

Hi! A water feature / fountain made of corten steel could look quite nice. Its color would highlight, but still blend in naturally with the stone/wood sauna as well as the garden surrounding it. Have a lovely day. ✨

Can’t wait to see what you guys do so many beautiful containers

This was fun. Looking forward to seeing the garden grow and mature. Ive been so busy here at home. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed. 😊

A beautiful garden. How adorable looking is your dog 😍

Seen a plant that blew a flower it is just gorgeous

Such a beautiful video in every way! 💖🌸

Beautiful. My kind of garden 💚

So much fun!

A large urn? Thank you, by the way. Your garden is beautiful. Peaceful. Nice job.

Such a beautiful garden ❤

Hello from Arkansas, zone 8A. Im enjoying your videos. Love all the beautiful flowers ❤❤

Love how you can see the stepping stones… love the smell of geraniums and thyme

Beautiful, Thankyou for sharing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Riley ! 🎂🍰🎉🎊🥳🎁🪻🌷💚🙃

The garden is lovely. Happy Birthday Riley! 🎂

Thank you Beth & Riley . Beth your garden is beautiful! 🪻🌷💚🙃

For your fountain by the sauna, something in a “brighter” metal or an antiqued cream color would be pretty. 😊

Happy birthday Riley! The garden looks so beautiful. The prices at the nursery are amazing!

It’s a beautiful nursery full of so many beautiful plans. Thanks for sharing it with us. There were plans there I’ve never seen before.

Happy birthday Riley

Happy Birthday! Week have a great one

I LOVE your water fountain ! Flowers around it to draw your eye? 🪻🌷💚🙃 A few annuals? Inpatients ? 🪻💚🙃

Your turkey cracks me up ! He always lets you know he there. 🪻🌷💚🙃

Very pretty gardens!

I'm going to Portland a couple of times in the next couple of weeks. Will definitely check out Al's. Your shade garden looks great. I'm retrofitting an old lamp base to be a fountain/bubbler for some goldfish that I'll have in a tank pond this summer. Kind of hard to explain but excited to see what you choose

I am loving the cottage feel of your yard! The stone building is the perfect backdrop. And the stepping stones, i need some of those im my life!

Thank you for sharing this absolutely fabulous video with us. Your garden is a dream.

Happy Birthday, Riely! A spring birthday is just full of possibility! 😊

Happy Birthday, beautiful Riley!🎉❤

🎉 💐 Happy Birthday Riley!!! 😂" Mediterranean/French/Country"! I am the same. Lived in the Mediterranean for 6 years/speak French/From Texas so very much country! I commented on your mom's last video that I'm in Texas and husband from the Bay Area and love the "non guilt" gardening while we travel that the videos provide. Many thanks to all of you for the serenity style videos. Apologies for the long comment🤷🤦

Love watching beautiful garden tour videos and how to make a garden look gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful garden with us today and the beautiful plant you picked up to fill this beautiful space hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie.

Things look so beautiful! Well done. Things have not even popped here yet - nice to see some color. Well done!

Happy happy birthday my dear friend

Happy bday Riley!! 🎉 Excited to see the makeover

Happy Birthday, Riley! Enjoyed your mom's video. Looking forward to the next video. Just an idea I did in my garden. I created circle lawns and gardened around the lawn. I love Bridal Spirea but get to big and large which covers some of my plants. I came up with an idea of using the largest galvanized garbage cans to create height and decor to plant my shrub. I used bleach to tone down the galvanized garbage can. You can use any shrub that gets to large for your garden. Mine are permanent because I cut the bottom out which become bottomless. My Bridal Spirea roots to ground level. I have moved a few by cutting the roots at the bottom of the can and relocated them in my garden using a dolly. I love Forsythia and Ninebark but I don't like how it grows to wide next to the ground. I have taken the bottomless garbage can and used it as a vase to let the Forsythia and Ninebark grow through the can. A way to control the growth without the hassle. Planting trees and shrubs are endless. I am in zone 4b. Idea next to your water feature. Happy Gardening!

Your place is beautiful. Riley's is also beautiful. Looking forward to see how much more beautiful they each become! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!

Happy birthday Riley🎉 looking forward to your porch project video.

Happy Birthday Riley!!!! Everything looks beautiful in the shade garden. I started some vegetable seeds and my sister and I are having an herb growing contest to see who can grow the best herbs.

Breathtaking. ❤

Happy Birthday Riley from the UK🎉

Happy Birthday 🎂🥳🎂🥳

Happy Birthday Riley from Canada! Bonny

A tricolor beech would look lovely tucked back there

Find something it’s got a lot of color for the fountain, because it looks sort of dark back in that corner

A nice birdbath with a little solar bubbler in it?

I love your garden! What are the blue flowers you just planted? What’s is the zone for those? Thanks Happy Birthday, Riley

I just found your channel and am really enjoying it ! I don’t know yet where your located. What zone are you in? I’m in Wisconsin zone 5 . Happy Birthday Riley 🎉

Beautiful garden. Where are you located? I am in zone 6A.

That porcelain blue failed in my garden 2 years in a row. corydalis is too delicate!

hoa đủ màu đẹp wa

Who is the birthday girl? She is gorgeous 😍😍😍

What zone are you please

Your soil is amazing! I amend & amend, but it never looks like that.🫣😊

Do you know if there is a special carnation variety that is only grown for florists ? I LOVE carnations but the only ones I’m able to find have such a small flower. Any suggestions ? 🪻💚🙃

Does Riley stay in the yurt all winter? Doesn’t it get COLD in there? 🪻💚🙃
