You'll see us (well, Lars) getting our hands dirty, weeding and tending to our beloved plants, and sharing our excitement as we discover each new flower. From the delicate petals of Iberis to the vibrant hues of Phlox and Wallflower, there's something to delight in around every corner.

We'll also take you behind the scenes as we move perennials to optimize their growth and give you a look at the unique foliage of Euphorbia Amygdaloides 'Purpurea' and the charming blooms of Dodecatheon meadia.

And of course, no garden tour would be complete without a visit to our greenhouse, where we'll show you what's growing inside and share our plans for the summer.

    Sometimes I wonder if a garden is worth all the hard work and then May arrives to remind us! Your garden is just stunning! ❤
  • Thank you so much for the video. I am amazed you don't use mulch. When you explained your plants are close so you don't need it that makes so much sense. I am older and it is getting costly and hard to mulch every year. I am going to try your method of close planting. Thank you. Everything is looking great in your garden.

    What a stunning garden! Your mix of bulbs and perennials, the wonderful variety of plants, the stonework and structures, the color combinations, so well done. Thank you for your hard work. I visited Denmark many years ago and fell in love with it. Happy gardening!

    I love your garden so much, all the variety of flowers/plants. You both have done an outstanding job in your garden, thank you for another wonderful video!

    Your gardens are looking beautiful! I added shade cloth to my small greenhouse this year and it’s been a game changer for controlling the high heat temperature. It’s completely changed the climate inside. So much more manageable!
  • Your garden looks wonderful and it's so nice to see the sun. It makes such a difference to us and the plants.
  • I love your garden. Everything looks healthy and beautiful! I also plant perennials in my garden. Thats how I save money and have such a beautiful garden every year.😊

    Tusind tak for fremvisningen. I've got a lot of ideas, and inspiration. Hyg jer!
  • Oh wow! Just stunning! I can’t believe how tall some of those tulips have grown. Really pretty! 🌷
  • @diannedolha2318
    So much beautiful colour! Love the groupings of assorted tulips everywhere. Many of the perennials I have too in my zone 3/4 Canadian prairie garden and am looking forward to blooming. Thanks for sharing.
  • Your garden is looking beautiful. You should be so proud of your accomplishments. I love the tool you are using it is great.
  • Garden is awesome and so truly naturalistic. Plus, I learned exactly what length to cut back the tulips when they are spent(essentially, deadheading) until the stalk yellows. See, no one else give those kinds of specific tips to those of us who are new to gardening.
  • So glad that I found you guys! Great garden inspo! Watching from Southern California. I have to say I’m so surprised to see the eucalyptus with all the beautiful plants below. That tree would be so big and bossy here. No way we could have one in a cottage garden.

    I am missing the trampoline! 😅 Fantastic garden, guys!
