  1. ???? hmmm so many things to consider doing. I will definitely take some cuttings of my verbenas & consider seeding my grass which will never be perfect grass. I’m a bit warmer than you here in N Carolina so I need to consider that. Our last frost date is April 15 but all of your tips help me think through the seasons. I love your garden and look forward to the tours!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I can’t wait to try this with my verbena. Verbena seems to grow so slowly for me. I use grow lights, fish emulsion fertilizer every 1-2 weeks and pot them up as needed. Am I missing something?

  6. Hi, Danielle‼️ I am wanting to plant two new Hydrangeas and I would like to ask you your favorites????
    Thanks❤️

  7. I have not had success with butterfly bushes even following the exact growing directions and trying different various locations ????. ????????

  10. L-O-V-E what you do and teach us. I want to be your neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. I really appreciate the information you share. It’s so helpful! I followed your advice and propagated my dahlias this year. I had really good results and they’ve doubled in size already with roots growing out the bottom. It tripled my dahlias for this season. Huge thank you!

  13. My dwarf butterfly bushes looked the same. They only have green leaves on the branches near the ground. I will try pruning similarly.????????

  14. Please share you secret of growing clarkia. This plant is impossible to germinate and I’ve been trying for years. Thank you.

  15. Hello, I know you already answered this in a previous video but I can't find it. Who makes that watering can? I think you said it was 3 gallons? I love the way you can flip the rose around for a gentle watering. Finally in the market for a new one. Oh and thank you for suggesting Longwood Gardens! I live in MA and my husband and I went down there last summer and loved it! So we went back at Christmas and just came back again from seeing the tulips!

  16. I have Clarkia growing in my winter sowing jugs right now. I enjoy watching you in your garden so much!

  17. Guilty here too, of narrowing grass paths. Why waste good garden space on grass when there's so many beautiful plants to plant, no? LOL.(Sigh) Your garden feels so well managed, Danielle. I've got to cut some paths for efficient weeding through my old rose, overgrown garden. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. Your garden is a happy place for me & always inspiring!

  18. Would love to learn more about forsythia- yours is beautiful but so many in my neighborhood never bloomed, I think because they trimmed it at the wrong time?

  19. My gosh I never thought to do this so easily to verbena bonariansis. We are in autumn here in Australia so I will wait till spring

  21. Hi. As a fellow flower lover, I first thought you were 'bonkers ' ???? taking away flower bed to make the path wider. However, once you explained it all made sense. Brilliant how the cuttings have grown. ????????

  22. Love your wider path and love propagating too.
    I've managed to propagate some osteospermum "doubles", which have a much prettier centre….and have saved a cutting of my budleia, which died of some sort of fungal disease at the end of a very wet and stormy summer.
    As a lawn re-doer, I usually sprinkle a light amount of fine soil over the top of the seed but your working the seed in a bit will work just as well.
    Make sure to water twice a day….you should see a green verdant glow on the surface come 7 to 10 days or even earlier if it stays warm.
    I have to wait til next spring to tackle my patches.
    Your garden is looking far more organized and easier to see plants that are taller in the back and shorter at the border.
    I'm trying to do this too….Alot of moving plants around and sorting drifts of colours that are easy on the eye.
    Great gardening,!Danielle ????

  23. Hi Danielle, my clarkia also had week stems last year in zone 6a. I hope they will perform better this year. I love the new color pallet you are going for this year. It's going to be beautiful. ????
