She has bluets growing in a pot. What a great idea! I think the Banksia is coming from the ground below. Also the wisteria, probably. Incredible tour de force.

I absolutely love her garden videos.....and yes her Banksia got me looking up this plant (and realized I can't possibly grow this in my tiny yard). She has had some health issues previously, glad to see she's doing well and clearly working a lot in her garden! I would love to see it in person one day!

Thank you, Marlorena. Yes, very humbling.

I admire her talent, skill and generosity in sharing her beautiful garden with anyone who can access YouTube! So grateful. I love to view her tours over and over, whenever I need a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the link, Marlorena! Carol

I have watched her videos a few times. They are indeed quite jawdropping especially when you realize that all those plants are in containers. I just wonder how she deadheads all that and what about winter.

After I watched her videos YouTube recommended a number of Japanese container rose garden videos to me. The containers they use are on the small side. I suspect the winter there is mild.

Portland, OR, in the US and Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, are sister cities and are located at about the same latitude. In Portland, we can grow things in containers year round without much protection...unless we have an infrequent but brutal arctic blast. When that forecast hits, gardeners here frantically water everything if it hasn't rained in awhile, and we run around tossing leaves over everything and wrapping all our pots in extra insulation or dragging them into the garage! Plants with botanical names ending in "japonica" grow well here. Carol

This video shows her garden in the winter, which shows off how EVERYTHING are in pots.

Yes her area of Japan is quite mild (I believe she is a bit north of Tokyo), and I don't think they get much snow, if at all.

I think I love Japanese television now..... Carol

I love her videos and garden. I am in awe every time I watched them. She truly have a magical garden.

@Adelaide Thank you for sharing the link. Most of the pots look like 10 gallon or smaller. Wouldn’t the roses get root bound pretty quickly...

Yes, thanks Adelaide for finding that video of her winter potted garden... I enjoyed that every bit as much as the summer ones, and you can see how she does things... like planting a pot over another pot, even triple pots, one on top of the other... I've done that here on occasions where you remove the base of a pot and place it over a larger one underneath...

She has a narrow border fronting the road where she has that Banksia and house climbers... I did wonder about that too... all expertly trained and tied in... I couldn't manage all that watering though..

Thanks for the links. Her garden looks better each year. She is a Chinese lady living in Japan. She made her rooftop into a fragrant magical place.

Here is another beautiful garden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAMM1bNv9sU

It must be such a lot of work to have such an impeccable garden. Certainly very beautiful.

What a magnificent garden. I love the informal cottage feel of the garden. Thanks summersrhythm for sharing.

Not only beautiful roses but other plants too, and I can't imagine the amount of upkeep it entails. Everything looks absolutely perfect, and her plants all look so happy and healthy. I'd be mortified to have her visit my garden!
