How to Create Boxwood Topiary with Southern Living's Baby Gem Boxwood and Linda Vater

Boxwood is timeless and elegant touch to any home.

I have watched this video twice before and it still inspires me. Since I found you I have watched most of your videos and become interested in topiary. I am 85, a life long gardener and author of three Lasagna Gardening books however, I find keeping up with all the work of keeping up with renewing my soil with organic material is going to be too much. The art and satisfaction of topiary may be just what I need in my older years. I have begun with my existing boxwood plants and my existing pots. Thanks so much.

ㅎㅎ 늘 잘보고 있답니다 Thank you 🌞🌞🌞

This was so helpful to me. I have planted Japanese box to make spheres and I have been too timid to trim much yet. I will start being aggressive in Spring. Thank you. Canberra Australia 9b

so sweet flower and u.

Hi! I love your pots the tall pots where did you buy? Thanks

What are the beautiful pink flowers in the background? I need boxwood topiaries in my life!

Hi Linda, what are the metal pot decorations/supports called and good place to purchase. Love your videos!

❤️❤️❤️Vater

Hello Linda. Love your how to videos. They are so inspiring. One unrelated question? The pot orb on your potting table. Where did you purchase them? Thank you for the information. 💕💕

Linda, loving your videos! Do you have a favorite pruner, short and long bladed?

Linda who carries the SL plant collection?

How do you make the tall topiary on the left?

Im in a zone 9, CA. I don't know if we get baby gem, what other would you recommend? As tiny leaf as possible? And what's the smallest pot you'd recommend, and largest?

I have 4 four foot tall boxwoods that are just cone shaped and would like to make them into double ball shapes. Are full grown boxwoods difficult to do this with? Will they just look like I butchered them?

I plant mine in compost ...thats what we use in UK ....im not sure what Com-poe-st is though lol

Too much off the top, hardly any shaping on the sides, none on bottom. You could have edited the video to show beginning and finished topiary. We have no idea how this turned out. 😒
