Fashion epilogue was the best part. So sweet of your neighbor to modeling for us. I adore her sweatshirt I really love it . Of course I love everything you were wearing Linda especially the shawl.
It’s so great to see a young couple take such an interest in gardening. Well done.

What a charming young couple and what a phenomenal job they have done creating such beautiful and creative living spaces in their landscape. I see why you were drawn to their bungalow landscape, Linda. I think y'all might be kindred spirits. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Nice to see a young couple so engaged in their garden.
Your neighbors have done a wonderful job on their gardens. The attention to detail makes all the difference. It’s amazing what they have done to overcome last years ice storm. The people who say ‘get over it’ have not experienced a traumatic event. I know you’re not joking when you say you have PTSD from it. I was in New Orleans for Katrina 16 years ago. I now live an hour west of NOLA. I thought I was completely over the trauma, but when I visited friends after Hurricane Ida this summer It felt like Katrina happened last week. You should talk it out as often as you need to, Linda. Thank you for sharing your home and garden with us.
Oh wow I so enjoyed this tour!!! What a beautiful home and garden!! Now I would love to see the inside of her beautiful home!!!🌸💕💕
Linda -keep up with these videos. Probably the best most comprehensive tours I've found on KZread. A+
This tour is just what I needed today. It's calm, pretty, and full of fun ideas. I had no idea Star Jasmine would grow in espalier fashion. I appreciate your neighbors sharing their garden with us. Thanks so much.

My sentiments exactly!
I can understand how at first glance the stone wouldn't be a favorite, but I can also see how it could grow on you. Sydney and Tommy have done a beautiful job and given so much thought to how to tie elements and colors together. I love the back patio and the choice of planters. My favorite trees were the cedars in the back...amazing!🤩 Thanks for sharing!😊

I like the stone itself for the most part. What I find annoying are the sections where small pieces of stone are bunched together. That and the dark cement/grout between the stones. It looks worse under the porch/entry where it appears even darker. 😑
I wish I had planned my new landscape this well. I love the repetition of color that coordinates with the stone and the simplicity of not doing too many different plants. Love the modern urn mixed with the antique wicker type furniture. Brilliant design!
Really enjoyed the tour of this very pretty garden, and the use of the purple Pansies just add a real pop of colour , xx
Love the whole home being built of stone, it's delightful. The garden is well thought out and zoned most carefully. Love how you come off the drive into a light and airy back garden, with no fence or trellis to divide. Every area kept so neat, no over planting. I love purple so all those Pansies were a delight to me. Thank you for sharing your garden. Richly deserved. Love from England. 🧑🌾🍁🍂🍁
I don't even know where to start...I LOVE everything about this!! 😍🌿🌲Thank you for sharing your gorgeous oasis with Linda and with all of us. Such beautiful inspiration. I also love purple, pansies and blue gray foliage. Such a well loved beautiful space!
I love the metal edging and how it matches the color of the fence. Everything is just beautiful in front and back. Another gem in your wonderful old neighborhood.
You can always tell when someone is an artist, because their landscape is just another canvas for them....gorgeous!
Such a darling house. I love all the stone work!
Their landscaping/hardscape is well done and so charming!!
What an absolutely stunning garden. I love the contemporary look with the old world feel…. And such a fantastic colour palette coming from the stone rapped house. That you for this tour!
Your neighbors are also very talented! Everything is so beautifully done from the colors, textures and lighting even the trees feel sculptural.
Beautiful home yard tour. This couple did a great job & that stone home is gorgeous!
I live in urban NY neighborhood where houses are literally right next to each other… so from my perspective this was a luxury sized big garden. Enjoyed this beautiful more modern tour. The fire pit area was my fav. TY!
Wow! The young couple did amazing job! The fence and backyard is stunning and my favorite!!!!!
Can't say enough about the beauty of this landscaping. Your hard work has really paid off. Thank you for sharing.
I'm impressed with the talent of this young couple! Everything "goes together" so well & the stone is beautifully highlighted.
The front yard with the house in the back is a dreaming home plus the green grass is so perfect, how they keep that beautiful grass , then back yard is like to have your own paradise at home, everything looks great , I really enjoy this video , Thank You to this couple to share their amazing yard with us , thank You Linda .
Really like all the silvery plants! Thanks for the tour!
Wow 🤩 is all I can say, and that I am ready to do some gardening 👩🌾. Simply awesome 👏
I love Linda's garden tour videos, so many good ideas!
Absolutely gorgeous. They nailed my dream yard!
...Sydney and Tommy's home is lovely...It has such good bones! (As a sidebar, I love the dark mortar in the repointing of the stonework!) The garden is just right in its simplicity but beauty! When you asked us what some of our signature touches would be, Sydney's are her hanging baskets! I love how she has implemented those throughout her garden! Such inspiration! Thank you Sydney and Tommy for sharing your beautiful garden with us! 💕🙏👩🏼🌾💚🍁🍂🍃 =^..^=
Amazing gardens and such a gifted young team! Great video and thanks for sharing👏
Hi Linda, I'm watching from Northland New Zealand. What a truly beautiful property ,how lucky we are that your neighbour's were happy to share their wonderful transformation.

Love this yard, especially the backyard. Very neat clean, well manicured, totally serene and relaxing
What a beautiful home! Both of them are truly talented, enjoyed this video!
Loved this charming video. Beautiful home. Very inspirational. Also loved how you recapped your fashion. Loved the outfits.
Loved Sydney & Tommie’s garden tour! The stone house and garden didn’t look small to me! The planning for the landscaping was brilliant! They made beautiful and wise choices! The front porch,water fountain, patio and fire pit areas were my favorites! Tommie’s grass is beautiful! Who’s the Aggie? Whoop and Gig’em!

A lovely home. Beautifully and thoughtfully compiled and maintained. Sydney and Tommy are adorbs!
Linda, your videos just get better and better! Enjoyed this so much! What a lovely young couple with such a beautiful home and landscape. Thank you!
Wow! I am impressed with all they've done with their landscape in such a short time. I'm envious of all those mossy rocks. If I could offer a minor suggestion to help with the front steps choke point. I love the geometric planters, but maybe take away one to widen the entrance. Perhaps the smaller one closer to the Blue Atlas tree since that already provides visual weight. I love the blue, purple color scheme. I may steal the idea of pouring concrete pavers in place. There must be some preparation underneath that prevents them from sinking.
I lovvvve this yard! It has given me so much inspiration
Such a beautiful garden/backyard!
What a gorgeous space! You can tell they loved putting it together. I couldn't take my eyes off of it! :)
Beautiful folks and neighbors! God bless you all!😍😍😍yard is magnificent!
This was a fabulous tour! I have seen planters like the ones on their front porch in our local landscaping center and found them interesting and organic. Now that l have seen them panted, l love them even more ! Thank you for taking us on this field trip.
Love, love, love, love love it. Catmint is my go-to, and also my fave color. And yes,the bees 🐝 they love it. Put it everywhere. The pansies are spectacular! I love the sharp, neat lines of their choices. It is a gorgeous home and yard!! 💜💜💜
What lovely new friends to have. God bless them for rescuing tucker. ....anyone want to place a bet as to how long that the small island of plants takes before it speads to the whole area....?🤣😅 Bet Linda has ideas Ps....we MAY have liked a male fashion breakdown too 🤔
Love, love, love this house. The stone is gorgeous. The driveway with the greenery is beautiful. The patio awesome! Also, the fire pit area.A total package! Great job!!!
Hi Your neighbours' house and garden is gorgeous. Thanks to Sydney and Tommy for sharing with us.💞
What a beautiful home and gardens! It's perfect in every way. I love all the stones they have incorporated throughout the yard and the pansies are so beautiful! Thank you so much for the tour!!
Sydney and Tommy, you’ve done an outstanding job! Love the silvery blue and purple, the cypress and holly groupings in the back are lovely, the jasmine on the fence is a showpiece, the corten steel garden edging interrupted by the large stones are the bomb. I’m in a much colder zone in Canada but I so appreciate seeing your gardens , I watched it twice to see it all again. I would have liked hearing more details from you both. Love your house, the more I watched, the more I appreciated the stone.
Little did we know!....Fun to watch again.
love their yard! and the house is so charming. gave lots of great ideas to use in my yard.
Wow! What a gorgeous space. I love the colors, the creativity and the couple!
What an amazing garden from a talented couple.
Your stone house is INCREDIBLE!!! I LOVE it.
This young lady is a girl after my own heart. I love old things, old homes and beautiful landscaping and gardens. Ginny
That was wonderful. What a delightful couple. I think I will have to steal some ideas. Especially the Chinese star jasmine grid. Tommy and Sidney are you able to tell us how you attached the grid at the top of the fence? I also love the hanging baskets with the brackets. The purple pansies throughout the front and back provide cohesiveness to both gardens. So much pride and joy. I am hoping we can also get a peek into this historic home with a look at some of Sidney's thrifted items. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia.

@@SydneyDorman Thank you Sydney for your reply. Can you tell me how many plants were required and did you have to plant them very close to the fence, or a bit further out to allow room for growth. Couldn’t tell from the video.

I planted them pretty close to the fence. Maybe a couple inches off of the fence. We did 13 plants and we purchased small plants so that it was cheaper. What you see in the video is just a summers worth of growth. Fast growing!

Now that I have finished the tour I have to say it is all so beautiful. They r so blessed. I can only hope someday I have half something at least half as nice. Thank u all for sharing it.Ginny
Linda, you are so good at this. Keeps me glued. Which is hard for some people to do with me.
One of the neatest landscapes you have showed. Just love it!!!
Oh my goodness....how absolutely GORGEOUS!! I cannot wait to show this to my husband, who is deer hunting today, so that we can take some great tips from this yard!! I LOVE the fountain, which is something we are planning to put in next year and also, the hanging baskets and the hangers, her father made, I just loved!! What a GREAT watch!! Thanks Linda!!
Charming couple and calm and understated landscape, thank you 🙏 for the tour , I love ❤️ getting to see how other folks garden
This landscape is so charming and well done!! 💜
Thank you for sharing Linda and to the couples! They have done a wonderful job and inspire me to think about ways to make a small yard cozy and inviting.
Such a stunning landscape!!! I loved watching this! Thanks so much ladies and of course the men too!😍
Gorgeous garden! i just love their garden aesthetic. Classic yet hip and so calming. Bravo!
Amazing talent! The knowledge and detail that was covered in this tour is remarkable. Thank you for sharing! I have a lot of respect and appreciation for those who work so hard to make their outdoors beautiful.
That specimen tree is gorgeous!
Really enjoyed this tour! Would love to see the landscape in the spring or summer!
I loved this house and garden Linda. No wonder you stopped to chat. I am now researching how to grow pansies from seed. We are in zone 8 with lots of rain, so they might just thrive here! 🤞🏼Thanks Linda, Sydney and Tom for sharing!💜
This was so much fun !! What a beautiful oasis this couple created for themselves. Just stunning. Beautiful job !!
Absolutely love this tour,what a beautiful garden! Much live from Sydney Australia
