The Perennial Garden | Staudehaven
Welcome to our garden! We're Allen and Lars Wildes. In our videos, you’ll find ideas, garden inspiration, and perennial-growing tips from 2 guys (& our son) who have grown more plants than their neighbors consider normal.
We’ll give you a look at what we’ve got growing and how we’re keeping our little garden thriving here in Denmark (zone 8). From seed collecting and winter sowing to propagating plants and experimenting with new techniques, we love sharing the journey of turning our cottage gardening dreams into reality.

Here are a few planting combinations from our garden. Maybe they can inspire you as you start planning for the season (and while we wait for the snow to melt).

In Denmark, it’s tradition to decorate graves in the winter. Originally, these arrangements were meant to protect tender plants from the harsh winter, but over time the practice has evolved into a way of bringing beauty to the cemetery during the cold months, when nothing naturally blooms. We use all kinds of evergreens, pine cones, and other natural materials to create displays.
Do you have traditions like this where you live?
Here's a video of how we do it... and how we do it in our garden.

Look what I found! We filmed this LAST SPRING on Allen's parents' farm, and I wanted to share it! I'm so glad I got to work in the garden with my mother-in-law. I also think you'll see where Allen gets his personality 😂
Their farm is in southeast Georgia, USA (zone 9a). Sorry for the lower video quality, but it's still a fun moment to enjoy.

We had a great time with @cranerygardens talking about the Must-Follow Rules of Cottage Garden design... and whether or not these 'rules' even matter.

What are we doing this winter?
We're looking for ways to protect next season's garden from slugs and snails!
