Huge fan! What do you use at the lawn-flower patch interface to prevent the grass from invading the planting areas? Not your raised beds (you said that), but in the long lawn areas with the planting areas on each side
I have been a fan since I was young and have owned any based landscape design company for almost 20 years. How can we get plastics out of our industry? I feel so conflicted with the amount of plants I sell that are grown in plastic containers. Recycling plastic is not the answer as it puts toxic fumes into our air. We need biodegradable containers. What are your thoughts?
I like that landscape design you did at the end. I’ve been so tempted to add color in some new trees and shrubs, but I think it might be best now to stick with white blooms on those and confine the colors to the seasonal flower beds. My flower prowess might fade, but the trees and shrubs will be forever.
While I know this is beautiful and very interesting, I was really hoping there would be some design techniques that were for people who make less than $25,000 a year. This is definitely for rich people.
Came here for garden design but 90% of this is about something else..
I so appreciate this program. Thank you!
Wonderful knowledge & ideas thank you
Having seen Allen's garden in person, I really enjoyed seeing Moss Mountain in the early stages. Gives me hope for my garden's future! :o) Kim-N-Garden
Allen's gotten a little chunky. Makes him more sexy.
I would love to see you collaborate or do a mashup with some of the great British gardeners like Monty Don, Charlie Dimmock, the Rich brothers, Arit Anderson etc etc. Would be so exciting to see all that garden know-how collaborating!

Thanks for posting this video. Your advice is always timeless! I found this video especially helpful for setting up a solid foundation for my garden.
Excellent show as always.
Here's my 2 cents: 8:25 those columns would look a lot better on pedestals rather than terminating directly onto the floor, imo.
Also, I would have preferred that the edges of the floorboards 8:29 were concealed with an edge board framing the entire floor.
