Hi Danielle,
Loving what you have done to your garden.
It really looks so much longer and neat with the wall of privacy and lovely table and chairs.
Gee, You've made huge leaps and bounds.
I've been thinking of names for the new area but it is difficult as you use your spaces so efficiently.
What about Alice's tea garden or the ever changing garden as in raised beds. or the secret garden room or jardin des blanca for being mainly white flowered.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Hope this helps but it will come to you on another sunny day.
JO. from New Zealand. going into fall now. or autumn as we call it.

Hi Danielle, love your garden. It’s always so peaceful. I love your HAAS Halo hydrangeas, but haven’t been able to find them. Also what is the fence to the left on in your video that looks like it is blowing in the wind that has metal in front of it I need some sort of privacy screen in a 25 foot long area where I have to unfortunately remove five Leyland cypress trees, could use some good suggestions, maybe what you have would work what is it Thank you! Also, do you like the American pillar arborvitae Are they fast growing How far did you space them Thank you for all the info you may have!

I love your garden and I put some wooden furniture outside as well. I understand how much that table means to you and I put a similar piece on redwood mulch. I have a word of caution for you because the legs wicked up moisture from the e started destroying the legs. You might consider tile, cement pad or something that will eliminate the water issue. I have to laugh that we have similar taste in the garden and my she seed is a library from gardening, flower arranging sewing etc. my gardening assistants are two Great Danes who keep an ever present watch on me like your pup Grace.

Hi Danielle, enjoy that new dining space! how thoughtful of you to make that area for you and your family. I love all the raised beds, and the abundance of spring blooms you planted! your garden looks so beautiful! I noticed you call each garden a room, how about the book nook be called the reading room. Whatever you decide on I am sure it will be just what speaks to you. I am glad you are taking time to enjoy the beauty and peace you have created; you deserve it! and bye to Grace!

I absolutely love all your videos, You have inspired me so much in my garden with cool flowers, annuals, and bulb planting, which is all new to me! The way you explain things in detail has been great. I did have a question about feeding your plants. do you use compost or fertilizer or both, how often and what kind That would be super helpful just to get an idea how to make it all thrive like yours. Thank you!

your garden! Such a beautiful display. The red tulips are gorgeous! Your dining room table idea is fabulous. Definitely a wonderful way to enjoy your garden in all seasons. Still like the library knook name, still cozy and private. Excited to see all the tulips in bloom. DEF will be magnificent. Thank you for sharing your spring time beauties.

Everything just disappears into the background . Love it! Gives the garden a history, likes its just aged over time. The best look for a garden. The main flower walk is dreamy! I can't even pick my favorite area. I love the papa bear, mama bear, and baby bear pots flanking each side of the book nook area. Just beautiful.

So happy to see Gracie is feeling better! I absolutely adore this update. I find it so helpful when gardeners share their garden zone, would you consider also sharing the sun exposure of each of your beds Full sun, part sun, you know: ) Also, what is that big tree behind the sunflower bench

Zone 5b, 6a south of Buffalo NY and this last week was 22 and snow. UGGGGG! I love the book nook. It calls me come and visit. It appears as if it is tucked away from the main garden space and it owns it's own place. Serenity Hollow. Yup, it calls for you to take a break, quiet down and reflect.

Your gardens are beautiful! Just wondering how the Instant Hedge worked out. I watched the video showing your planting it, but it seems to be thinned out in this video. Sorry if you already covered this in another video. This would be helpful for my decision in buying their hedges. Thank you!

This is just what Im seeking in our NC backyard. Thank you for posting. I ruined my shoulders working that hard especially lifting the wheelbarrow. Now I lay cardboard down then cover it with mulch I have delivered in a pile. I take about 2 months to move the mulch in Winter and Spring. Done.

Beautiful spring flowers, looking forward to seeing more as the season progresses, As for the spray nozzle on a paint can, you can just pull it off and switch it out with one that works. Good luck with that. I think repurposing furniture with a coat of paint is thinking creatively!

The garden really looks beautiful and I love the way, as you said, non-plants just blend into the background and don't steal the focus. I have different varieties of hyacinths, and the pinks are always the first to bloom and the dark purples last the longest.

Other commenters have offered names for the garden area near the library with the word Serenity included. I like that word when it comes to this area. I also like white plants/flowers in this space. The color combo of white with green always soothes me!

Your new outdoor dining room is gorgeous, and the spring flowers are beautiful. I also love your pots near the seating area in front of the library. Do you know the brand of them or where you purchased them

Thank you for sharing about the fosteriana family exotic emperor tulip. I was looking just for a returning tulip because most of mine do not come back and I’m so sad every year. I will get some thank you so much.

I would rename the Book Nook to Rejuvenation Room. It looks like an inviting space to just rest and relax in the lounge chairs to enjoy the surroundings, and if you eventually cant see in it's more of a room feel.

I’d probably call it the patio garden. The moon garden would be nice with all the white hydrangeas but it would kind of make you have to commit to white flowers. Everything is looking beautiful!

Love how you have transformed your garden over the past few years. It looks awesome. What about calling your book nook a reading terrace. Or library patio. It looks amazing whatever you call it.
