Side Yard Garden Tour | Here She Grows

The community that's developed around the side yard garden is AMAZING! It's unique in the area which I find both cool and slightly sad. I wish gardens were more common around here. But I think this space is inspiring my neighbors, many of whom I didn't know before the side yard garden came to life. Friendships have been made because of plants and I think that's the coolest part of all!
Here are links to blog posts I mention throughout the video...

Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.

That "red spike" is Awesome! ๐ Maybe a couple of Arborvitae Tater Tots in that Honorine Jobert area and mix in some Skyward Pink Veronica's, if enough variation between heights together, would be nice to fill in with color. But ... not like you don't have Arborvitaes already growing there ๐คทโโ๏ธ plus You'll figure it out anyway! Very nice tour explained on side garden, Heather. Looks fantastic, and so do you! ๐ฅฐ

I love your selection! You space your plants so far apart. I have them a little one a hands length apart to cover the ground. I donโt have to worry about mulching anymore and the spots that are bare I plant creeping phlox and thyme.

Hi Heather! I just discovered your YouTube channel for the first time today. So it took me forever to watch your video because I kept having to pause in order to write down the names of all your beautiful plants. Where do you purchase most of your plants? Do you order many online? I also wanted to tell you I love the name of your YouTube channel. Another favorite name similar to yours on YouTube is Howโs it Growing? She has a lovely garden as well๐ชป๐บ๐ผ

It looks fantastic! โค Can you point me to your video where harvested your rutabaga?

I love your garden. Where did you purchased the zinnia seeds,? I love that they are not too tall. I planted some zinnia that labeled 12 to 18 inches, but it's 3 feet tall now.
-
Itโs beautiful! I kept taking notes on plants to add! How wide is this space?
-
Beautiful side garden! Do you dig out your dahlias every year or just leave them in the ground. The ones that stay short are so pretty and would do well in the front of my landscape. Everything looks good after the storms! I lost power for 12 hours and my basement flooded but it could have been worse.
-
Beautiful garden ๐ฟ๐บ How do you keep weeds out of your gardens?
-
I noticed that part of the new garden bed borders the sidewalk. Do you have problems with dogs peeing on the plants? I'm trying to find some plants that can withstand dog urine. Any suggestions?
