So jealous of your beautiful garden, it's absolutely stunning! I am drooling over the variety of flowers that you have, thank you for the wonderful video!
I’ll admit, and not to make anyone jealous-I live in San Diego, California, five minutes from the Pacific Ocean, in zone 10b (bordering a little on 11a-the zones have changed recently, I read, with global warming). A location where you’d think that I’d be outside constantly. Indeed, I am always doing SOMETHING each day, but I have so much to do and I think we lose inspiration or energy when the weather is so predictable! Today it is 80 °F or 26 °C basically, with no clouds and a breeze.. and I’m inside on the iPad😂 That’s why it’s so motivating for me to see gardeners in Europe, or in temperate/freezing zones below the one I live in-because you guys have such a shorter timeframe in which to grow. So you must pack in as much color and life as possible, and the effect is outstanding! The colors in your garden are phenomenal. I try to do something similar, albeit with a different plant selection, I call it "California cottage garden" style, or California beach bungalow garden. Instead of certain perennials or annuals, we can mix it up with structural succulents, bromeliads, aroids, different orchids (Epidendrum, Cymbidium), and just a large palette.
Love that idea of California Cottage Garden -- it sounds very nice! And you're right... we have a really short growing season, so we have to pack in as much as we can -- and enjoy it for as long as we can. Luckily, we have very long summer days.... so we can stay outside until around 23:00. That also means that we're inside by 15:00 in the winter. Oh well -- a small price to pay for daylight in the summer. And for what it's worth -- we're glad you're on the ipad watching us at least! haha. Thanks for reaching out!
Hi Honestly Allen and Lars... I've watched some gardening vlogs and yours are unsurpassed. When Lars said"We had a battle" i fell about laughing 😂🤣🥰 He'll know why. Rescue any plant you like Allen. You're a gem🍰🙃👏🎂🥰
😂🤣 Thank for being on his side he says! hahaha And thank YOU for agreeing that plant rescue is normal thing. I still can't imagine someone tossed it out. So glad I was there to give it a good home. :)
Horse Manure, Straw, and Sand must get these. Thx. I had a vibrant garden with most of these, thanks for the memories. Glad I found this channel. Purple sedum, the survivor of the greenhouse, I found one leaf, which survived. The plant is smaller than Lars, but it's coming along, I know it's going make it, now it has a mate in Denmark 🥰🌹
Здравствуйте! Спасибо за экскурсию по вашему чудесному саду.. Сад- прекрасен, Растения великолепно сочетаются, очень красиво получилось! Удачи и процветания!!!🌹
Absolutely gorgeous. loved the Allium tip and hey, I took some Cosmo's from the trashy rental garden next door and had no guilt since it will all be pulled out eventually Overland Park, Kansas (Kansas City)
Absolutely love all the colours and your detailed explanations , I have a lot of similar plants here in zone 4 Alberta. Going to give your allium tip a try.
This was my first time seeing your videos. I love your garden. Your choice of plants for color and texture was great. I also loved seeing the containers worked in among the plants which is what I try to do. I look forward to seeing what videos you'll post next. So beautiful!
Thanks for visiting! We like the containers mixed in too because it gives us immediate height and makes it look like they've always been there (at least that's our plan anyway) ;)
I love your garden, thanks both for doing this garden tour! You both are so good at explaining your lovely flowers! Thanks so much for sharing, enjoyed your tour immensely! Have a great week and happy growing.
Oh my I've been missing out on these awesome videos. Your gardens are absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to watching more of your channel. Im in zone 5b/6a in Kansas City but still can plant most all of these perennials. Lovely gardens.
Love the aerial shot of your garden and Fredericia at the beginning. It looks like a lovely place to live. Great tip about the Alliums. Your garden is looking so nice with all the colours and your hard work definitely shows as beautiful gardens don't just happen and greenhouses don't empty themselves! Thanks for the tour.
Fredericia is a very cute place to live - and we love having the ocean so close. And you’re right… greenhouses do not empty themselves 🤩 But we’re glad it is nonetheless. Especially as seed collecting has already begun.
I cut the alliums heads as soon as they finish flowering, then stick them into pots in my container garden. I learned the hard way of leaving them self seed in position. The new alliums seedlings will take years to grow before flowering, the original alliums lose strength and don't flower strongly. I'd keep new seedlings away from the original. Amazing garden you have, very jealous of your paths.
Great with all of your allium work! And thank you for the compliment on our paths :) We took up all the grass and put in paths last year, making the garden way more useful for us :)
As always, thank you for the video and as always too, I LOVE your beautiful garden! I grew Salvia Viridis after seeing it in your garden and have just planted out some very small seedlings - fingers crossed for success. Thank you for the tip about the alliums - I will be doing that! Take care
Wonderful! For us, the salvia starts flowering and showing color (the bracts) here in July... so I hope yours will do that, too! And self-seed so they come back next year :)
You have my dream garden so I was amazed that I have many of the same plants here in Wisconsin USA zone 4. I live in acid sand so mine aren't nearly as lush but you give me hope. I'll keep packing them in with lots of color.
Your garden is my inspiration. I grew so many things from seed this year. This is the first year I haven't mulched heavily and I have so many volunteers. How do you mulch without suppressing volunteers? I need to ask all my questions before your channel explodes and you don't have time to respond to everyone. Lol.
We’ll always have time to reply 🥰🥰 We don’t much tho - we plant so closely together that it’s just easier not to. And if something self seeds that we don’t want, we just move it out, put it in a pot, and give it away 😀
Above and beyond Beautiful ! Not enough words to describe your vision and knowledge of plantings. In just a week I have learned so much from you two. ( I now have to cull down and adapt my ever expanding list of “Oh yes! Must haves” to fit my own Walled garden Pocket Handkerchief sized bit of Heaven, here in NW UK 🤣). Thank you both so much for filming and sharing……for all your hard work and bringing me so much inspiration and joy. It’s late here, yet here I am having been riveted to this episode. Best flower garden I have ever seen. Magnificent!
That is so kind of you! WOW. It's comments like this that keep us happy to share our little garden. And we know what you mean about small gardens -- we have a rule that if we plant something new, something else has to go. ALTHO... this is just my rule. Lars doesn't really follow it so well. hahaha! We have another rule that everything will find a space. So... not sure how great either of these rules work together ;)
Your garden is SO inspiring. I just found your channel about a month ago and am completely in awe of the beauty you’ve created. I fell in love with the salvia verticillata purple rain that you showed in the cemetery garden (and in today’s video). I tracked down seeds for it but then was surprisingly also able to find one at my local nursery. Also got seeds for Heliopsis burning hearts and will get that started soon. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Thank you for being here with us! Super great that you were able to find the plant -- you'll love it in your garden. We just cut ours back for a second flowering, too. And the Burning Hearts is a favorite! And it gives that late summer color that we all love so much :)
That's so great! With this heavy wind we've been having, we've had no choice but to do a lot of ours this way. Plus, it keeps the allium in a more controlled group :)
Firstly, congrats on your (finally) EMPTY greenhouse yay! 🌱 lol ... Moreover ... 2:58 ~ The Heliopsis was the FIRST that caught my attention right away as soon as the video started and thankfully you guys talked about HER! I have been wanting to have this plant in our perennial garden but our nursery so far has yet to carry them. The cultivar that you have "Burning Hearts" is really stunning🌻 16:46 and 18:29 ~ The Galliardia, the blanket flowers !!! Are they not gorgeous? We have these two cultivars ("Arizona Sun" and the deep red) in our garden as well, and every morning I love looking at them while waiting for coffee to brew, such hypnothizing flowers. You are correct, gaillardia would flower all season long until winter. For mine, I cut them really hard after flowering and they come back strong in early Spring 🏵 2:52 ~ Monarda the bee balm, the taller cultivar is such a beauty! I'm envy you guys because I am too afraid to have these in our garden because they are so prone of powdery mildew disease in my area. I am yet to find our local nurseries that carry the resistance ones 🙏 Anyway, great video! Thanks so much for sharing this update - Your plants, their smart arrangements & their flowers feed my 2024 mid-summer soul 💚💚💚
I walk out and look at our blanket flowers, too -- really are my absolute favorites! And I do hope your nursery carries the Burning Heart... they make such a difference in a sea of green foliage :) And in the meantime, we'll grow bee balm for you then! The bees won't mind at all! haha
Your garden is looking fabulous. I am in Scotland in zone 8a but due to so much rain and wind some plants are slow to flower. Some things such as Montreal are taller than I have ever seen them I also have lots of verbena Bampton. I bought one on sale a few years ago and now have at least 20 full size plants.
We've had that rain and wind, too! What's up with the summer this year? We are blessed to have our garden 'boxed' in -- so that does help with the winds off the coast. And it's Bampton the best? We were at a garden market the other week and overheard another gardener (she was selling plants) tell someone that it will not self seed. Yikes -- she'll be in for a surprise ;)
Loving the garden guys! I have also followed your staking method and it works so well! Thank you, it is so much nicer than trussing up my perennials with string! 😂❤️
So glad the staking works for you! We've had some terrible wind these days... so we've had to go and stake way more than usual. Looks like we're protecting plants from a King Kong invasion out there. But... they're not snapping in the wind :)
Thank you both for the tour. I fell in love with your Salvia Viridis last year and managed to find some seeds. Mine are flowering now as well but are nowhere near as tall as yours (the weather hasn’t exactly been kind in the UK this season) but hopefully as they establish and reseed I will get a good display. The common English name for Coreopsis is Tickseed, not a particularly attractive name considering how pretty the flowers are 😊
Також побачила у хлопців в тому році сальвію, тай купила насіння, вона в нас має назву "Three color". Дуже гарна виросла висока, пишна, чудова 😍 хоча засуха страшенна, але їй байдуже, на українських чорноземах її дуже сподобалось 🩵💛😉
@nickiramsay2421 Tickseed isn't as pretty sounding as 'beauty's eye' -- but oh well :) In Danish the Malva sylvestris (common mallow in English) is called 'kat cheese' -- so, I guess we get some good and some crazy names in both languages ;)

You two are my favorite to watch! Your gardens are always so beautiful, and inspiring. Lupine is one of my most favorite, but I have struggled to grow it (I’m in Zone 7b). I think it may be that the soil here in NC is clay. I’m still learning to grow in this clay soil, as I’m from Ohio, where the soil was not clay. My monarda is a favorite of mine and the bees :) also the Liatris.
Monarda and Liatris! We ADORE those too.. and lupines. But yeah... they might not do super well in the clay. Hopefully you can amend it and in a few years get the plants you want again :)
❤❤❤ absolutely stunning. After watching and studying your videos, I have now collected many seeds from my garden and will be sowing them (for the 1st time) next spring. You give me the confidence that I can do it. Also, I love the little roar with the Snapdragon 😊
Oh did they? Jeepers -- we don't follow football at all. But now, knowing this, we can at least make small talk with the neighbor if he brings it up :) THANK YOU!
👋🏻 from PA US I love your garden very much! I thought it was funny that this season every time you showed your garden my eyes were drawn to the red flowers and today’s video finally showed the name of it, Lychnis Chalcedonica. So the funny part is that you showed it when the flowers are already spent but at least I know the name so I can look for it. Thank you for sharing ❤😊❤
😅 they were so pretty when they flower. Can’t believe we never showed them off properly. Oops 🙃 They aren’t great self-seeders, so we collect seeds and sow them ourselves for a better chance of having more. Thank you for watching! Big hello back from Denmark 🇩🇰
This is THE most beautiful🎉 garden tour I've seen in so long. ❤ Great job! I enjoy your channel so much! I live on the coast of Washington state zone 8b. Happy😊 gardening!!🎉
Greetings from northwest Georgia, another beautiful video. Envious of your climate, especially the rain. We got a nice shower yesterday , but it has been so hot and dry. We are forecast in the 90's most of the month of July. Have a great day.
We'd send you some rain if we could! And we'd even take an afternoon of your temps -- but just an afternoon :) Hope you had a great 4th last week! And that you get some cool breezes this week.
We were actually blessed with a nice shower yesterday, and is only going to be 86 for the high today. I don't need to water anything today. It's 71 currently and feels so good. Have a great day.
Какая у вас красота! Видео просто завораживает , это сказка ❤ . Всегда жду ваши видео , многому у вас учусь. Я живу в Крыму, и у нас очень сложно что то вырастить, очень жарко, в этом году особенно. Сейчас на градуснике 39 в тени, и так уже два месяца. Многое сгорело, что то пытаемся спасти, поэтому осталось любоваться вашим садом ❤❤
39? Oh my goodness. We’d send some cool breezes if we could. We’ve had a very cool, wet summer so far - but at least the garden enjoys it. Thank you for watching and commenting 💚! Hope you get some cooler weather soon.
@@perennial-gardenмы тоже ждём похолодания, следующая неделя у нас 42😂 , и похолодает не раньше сентября. А пока будем любоваться вашей красотой в саду ❤
Хлопці, це насолода для очей😍 так приємно дивитись на зелененькі квітучі рослинки хоть в когось))) в нас все від спеки горить (Ukraine +34-+40°) Окремо дякую за підпис під кожною квіткою, роблю screenshot для майбутніх покупок у своєму в садочку😉💐
Most of these are native to Denmark. Only the lupines are for sure not -- they're actually on the invasive list, that's why I collect the seeds before they self seed. (Altho even gardening centers sell them here). We should do a full list of native plants one day -- I'll have Lars get on that!
I enjoy watching both of you show your garden. I notice that you have a Macrophyllas Hydrangea next to a Buddleia. In my zone 5 b garden, the Hyd is in a morning sun area, while the Buddleia is in a full sun and dry area. I am surprised that yours are planted in the same light, sun, and I assume, soil conditions. I have areas of more acid and water retentive soil, and areas of drier and “leaner” soils for the Buddleias, Sedums, Echinaceas, Lychnis, Eryngiums, Achilleas etc. is your entire garden getting equal hours of sun and is the soil in each bed the same re acidity, nutrients, and moisture retentiveness? Though we are in totally different growing zones, there is always something to “ take away” from these calming videos. 👍
Great question -- and something we should talk about in a future video! But yes... most of our garden gets equal everything. The dahlias do get a little less sun only because they are kinda blocked by the big tree and the ivy fence... we wish they could get more sun! Otherwise, all of the soil is the same for everything. We have kept most of our hydrangeas (in the back corner) together... but only because we think it's pretty. The whole garden gets fertilized once a year with organic chicken manure -- and we layer compost (from our compost bin) over the ground in early spring. Hope that helps! All of our plants get the same treatment and hope for the best -- it's a very equal opportunity garden over here ;) haha
How clever that tip with allium seed heads. What is that Lupin, the orangey one? Is it Terracotta? I have been trying to buy seeds of it. Also what a beautiful place to live. Thank you for the views of your lovely village. That pink California poppy is gorgeous. So much to be proud of in your dreamy garden.
That is a Lupinus 'Salmon Star' -- it's INCREDIBLE right?! We fell in love with it when we saw it once in Claus Dalby's garden. And thank you for appreciating our little village here -- we think it's a really nice place to live :)
Just beautiful, you guys, just beautiful!!! I apologize in advance if you have already mentioned this and I've missed it but how do you water your garden? Drip? Hose? Rain and the good God's graces? 😅
Just the good Lord's love and RAIN. hahaha Honestly tho... that's what we do. We collect rain water for dry spells and for the pots. When that runs out, we go with a water hose. But this summer... the rain is constant, so we're both blessed and slightly annoyed (but trust God's plan :) )
So much colour in your garden! Beautiful indeed. Would you be able to talk about pests like slugs and snails? I'm in England (South-East) and they are devouring everything, ignoring the pellets....many thanks!
Thank you for watching! And yes... we've had slugs really bad this year, too. Fortunately we started early in the season picking them up -- so we haven't had them like some friends have. We also go out every evening and morning to collect more. It's been a constant battle this year. What kind of pellets do you use? There's one here that uses 'ferric phosphate' as the main ingredient. It always sells out at the stores, too -- maybe that's one to look for?
It blooms for a long time here -- around 3 weeks. Then, I cut it back and it comes with a second bloom -- altho the 2nd time is not as lush as the first' :)
Thanks so much for watching! Our soil is loamy. We add a layer of compost (that we've made in our compost bin) every spring and we fertilize once a year with organic chicken manure.
Hi there, i am fascinated of your garden looks healthy all in bloom abundantly, can you please give any tips or advice how can i make new fresh bedding, we bought the house 2yrs ago and i can tell the soil in the garden is old or dry i think, shall i dig out how many cm or inches if you suggest please and what soil combination i have to use?
Thanks for a great question! First, you might want to see exactly what type of soil you're working with. You can take a handful of soil and squeeze it. If it crumbles easily, it's loamy and good for most plants. If it stays in a ball, it may be clay-heavy and needs amendment. If it falls apart immediately, it might be sandy and lack nutrients. If you want to dig... dig out the old soil to a depth of about 30-45 cm. This depth allows you to remove any compacted or poor-quality soil and reach the deeper layers where roots will grow. Then, mix in organic matter such as compost, aged manure, or leaf mold. This improves soil structure, aeration, and nutrient content. We used horse manure and straw for our newest flower bed. We had to dig it out as it was compacted sand (under pavers). You can add top soil too... I would go with around 60% top soil and 40% organic matter, depending on your soil type. We've also used a no dig method in our middle flower bed and most of our other areas. For this, we don't dig any old soil out. Instead, we add fallen leaves, compost, etc. directly on top and then mix it in. We leave it for several months (we've done most of our beds in mid-late winter and then let them sit until spring to plant). I hope this helps! Let me know if something doesn't make sense :) Here's how we made new beds at the cemetery garden where I work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QYGpiMb6n38.html
@@jonasbotsinka8947 No, we don't have any. We used to... but switched to wisteria a few years ago. Clematis are super popular here in Denmark tho... you see their beautiful flowers everywhere.
How do you keep all your flowers so healthy, all their leaves look great. None are drying or yellowing ! Especially the phlox. Am having a difficult time with them. They dry up from the bottom and dry out.
