April Garden Tour + Sowing Cosmos, Gladiolus & Summer Flowers | Perennial Garden

Welcome back to the garden! In this video, we’re taking you on a walk through our April cottage garden here in Denmark (similar to zone 8a). From tulips to self-sown seedlings, there's so much coming to life — and we’re adding even more by sowing summer flowers today.

We’ll also share how we’re improving the garden beds with compost, show you what’s blooming now, and take a peek inside the greenhouse for an early spring update. This video includes some of our favorite perennials for early-season color, plus a few fun planting moments like sowing cosmos and seeds from ‪@ClausDalbyEnglish‬
