How to Create Colorful Flower Borders | Talk & Tour with Cape Cottage Garden #gardentour

Gorgeous garden

During the container section, they showed a shot of her garden in the fall. Does anyone know what the purple flower was on the left side of the walkway? Im looking for any flower that shade that blooms July through September.

This would be fabulous for an intimate family wedding. Fairytale garden.

She’s so calm and poise. I enjoyed listening to her speak! She makes Jersey look Gooood!

Sorry to ask but is this a UK garden?

Brilliant grow bag idea!
Lovely garden and such helpful tips.

What a gerneous hearted lady and she made something so garden book beautiful look achievable. Some great questions, but `I was ACHING to know what trees were standing tall but not swamping the borders, but giving this blousy planting a certain formality. Can anyone help?

Does anyone else ever find themselves heading to the local nursery right after watching videos of beautiful gardens like this GORGEOUS one?? I have a long way to go, but these tips are so very helpful.

Love, Love your ideas!.. I might not be able to take on such a LARGE PROJECT all by myself, but I am inspired and will learn something. Thank you for SHARING! 😊❤

This was an absolutely delightful tour!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful garden with us. Heather, your garden is gorgeous!

Brilliant, Heather! This garden is perfection of color and planning. I love it! Thank you for sharing it with us.

So much thought put into such a beautiful garden

This is one of my favorite garden gate tours. I am brimming with ides and inspiration. I love the shift on companion planting idea with the seasonal idea. And the ‘GARDEN CLOSET’!!!! Genius!!!!

So beautiful thank you for sharing your passion for gardening....master level indeed ❤

Greeting's from Ireland, You have a beautiful natural garden that is a credit to you.

I love Heather‘s use of pots in the garden! I am inundated with deer and gophers. With pots I can do a “test” and if the deer find the plant enjoyable, I just moved the pot to my second story deck or front porch. It’s obvious why putting plants in pots for gophers makes sense. if I plant, I have to put everything in a cage because even if the gophers don’t eat it, they will undermine the roots. Thank you so much for this tour of Heather’s garden and all of these incredible tips!❤❤

I want to be able to plant a garden like this. This is magical.

What a wonderful garden!
I love all the different interests you have. Cottage beautiful.

Its a very restless night as i can't sleep. My step son is having brain surgery 8 am tomorrow morning. He lives in CA and im in MN which makes it even harder.
I just happened to come across this video. God knew it was a great dose of medicine for the soul. You are an amazing gardener and outstanding commicator explaining everything!
I wish you had other videos to share. Such a joy to listen to. Blessings for future gardening.

Wow and wow! So beautiful

How does she hide all the dying tulip leaves - or are they dug up?

Amazing Garden!! Great work!

Beautiful

I love the tulips!

I have the May/June Garden Gate issue with the article about Heather’s garden. I loved reading it after I had watched the video tour here. My question has to do with Mikly Spore. We just ordered some from a nursery we like on Pawley’s Island, SC. The info says you’ll see a reduction after a year, even more after two years. After that you don’t have to apply for another 10/15 years!

Heather says she applies Mikly Spore every year. Obviously it must be okay because her lawn and garden look wonderful.

Please address this. Can you apply Mikly Spore each year?

Omg her garden is my dream!!! It’s so pretty, feminine and whimsical ❤❤

What A gorgeous Garden 😍😍😍!!! Great inspiration for new gardeners !!!

Just love this garden. I must have watched it at least 5 times to catch the names of the plants. Just beautiful.

Love this garden and wonderful ideas!

Wow! Just amazing. Well done Heather! You are SO TALENTED.

VERY NICE

Wow, this is 'so', so beautiful. <3 <3 <3

Wow! Heather Thomas, you are such and amazing gardener. I love your colors and succession plantings. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Dahlias in grow bags, def trying that next year!

Gorgeous !! Maybe you should go visit Danielle at Northlawn Flower farm in Pennsylvania - she has incorporated a cut flower business into a beautiful home garden of flower borders. I moved into a house that was owned by a gardener and every season and throughout the season there was something beautiful blooming. And this was b4 the internet so she must have learnt from books or just practice.

i am so impressed with this lovely lady , so many ideas, and " thee hedge." Thanks .Plus all the Garden Gate's staff .

🌸What an inspirational gardener, smart, hardworking and generous 🌸

Gorgeous garden and so many good tips that I have written down. I love the Dahliah idea-just wonder if she puts a stake in the grow bag. I love the pot idea in front of buddleia while you are waiting. The prep area behind the bushes is wonderful!

What a genius! Brilliant ideas and gorgeous garden.

Watching the video for the fourth time
The mind of this gardener is so brilliant and she’s such a conversationalist and explains so good

Spectacular 💚💚💚 Great ideas 🌿🌱
