This is the second in a series of videos that looks at the same border each month over a year’s period. In it I describe what is looking good in April and give some gardening tips and advice for those plants. Check out the March 'Year in the Life' video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO6HlW1Nqas&feature=youtu.be) ! From Douentza Garden in Wexford, Ireland. Plants mentioned in the video are... Prunus cerasus 'Morello' Primula 'Drumcliff' (Kennedy Irish Primroses) Pachyphragma macrophylla Iris reticulata 'Harmony' Corydalis 'Kingfisher' Primula veris 'Sunset Shades' Epimedium 'Orange Queen' Erythronium 'Pagoda' Helleborus x hybridus Rhododendron ponticum 'Variegata' Cypripedium Epipactis gigantea Calanthe discolor Calanthe tricarinata Rhododendron 'Lady Alice Fitzwilliam' Camellia sinensis Meconopsis nepaulensis Trillium kurabayashii Primula 'Marie Crousse' Primula 'Snow White' Podophyllum peltatum Lathyrus vernus 'Rosenelfe'

I really wished we had your climate here in Stockholm.

You have a lovely garden. It must be wonderful to live in such a beautiful place!

Very beautiful. Isn't spring so wonderful. Love the cowslipper .. Our native wildflowers are just past peak. A lady from our native plant society is a wonderful photographer , Thought i would share. (o; http://www.screencast.com/t/oN92do77

So impressive, your gardens are breathtaking!
Thx for sharing!

Hi Rachel, Keith my hubby has it pinned to our whiteboard Avon Bulbs, so thank you. We had bulbs from them before - a bit pricey at times but you only get what you pay for! Burnham Nursery is another supplier we use for orchids, you paid the same for your recent purchase that I would have had to pay in Stirling. I hope the Bank Holiday weather improves☔😊 ME

Wonderful video. Please update your Cypripediums when they bloom :)

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, and thank you again for sharing. A parcel arrived today with a Sanguinaria canadensis rhizome for me to plant. My hubby couldn't get the Erythronium, so he ordered 3 double Hellebore plants instead. Can't wait to plant them this weekend, and I eagerly await next months instalment of your garden borders. 😊 ME

I love the design and layout of England and Irish cottage gardens. I always incorporate that when I plan out flower beds or just over all garden designs. You garden is so beautiful Rachel absolutely beautiful !! Need to have your input when I design my garden : -)

Love it!
