It isn't over romanticising. It's creating your own beautiful spaces, and you do it wonderfully. Blessings.

I agree with you that in the midst of an insane world, it's good to focus on the lovely, good things in God's creation. You inspire me to do so more and more, and to get my mind off of all the bad news! Thank you, Lea!

It's not easy, but there is still beauty to behold ❤

The Bible is full of agricultural metaphors and for good reason,quiet gardening enables us to learn the heart of god

A friend of mine has a Aloe Vera plants all throughout her house to help clear the air from chemicals etc and to combat WiFi signals amongst other things, as they sleep. She said the whole family sleeps a lot better. I am slowly incorporating this to my home as well as turning the internet off at night and have noticed a wonderful difference especially to a better night's sleep! Our heavenly Father has thought of everything for us. Thank you for another beautiful video. ❤❤❤

So beautifully said! I feel the most grounded when I’m working in my garden, and praising the Lord for the beauty of His provision. We must focus on the positive.

I like to think creating beauty around our homes, in the way we dress, live our lives, speak our truth….is being a visual Artist…a gift God has given us..to live more abundantly ❤️

Nothing wrong with singing a little tune as the ship goes down..... LOVE that!!!!! Thank you for all you do.... brings a little calm and beauty to this crazy world!!!!

Where the Holy Spirit dwells there is life . Everything blooms . There is peace and everthing smells fresh. We need channels like this.❤

This world around us is truly maddening! The more I learn, the more aware I become of just how deceptive it all is. This world is headed in a direction that won’t be stopped til our Lord says. We can and should pray, of course, then take a step back and focus on what is most important… our relation with Him, our families, our pets, neighbors, to make a conscious effort to slow down and enjoy whatever time we have left. For me, enjoying and beautifying what’s around me helps me to stay grounded when all the world is going crazy. It’s a way to be in but not of this world.

Thank you Lea, You have given us all a place of connection with your channel. It seems a reward and affirmation for many of us. Beauty and eternity become family friends. I've always been lyrical and aesthetic with my domestic duties and I feel the genuine pleasure of the Lord upon me. We are fit company for The King after all - Praise to Yeshua . My humanity sings in this innocent place and my womanhood is understood and affirmed there also. However, my spirit knows the Time and Season we are in and I have serious duties there. I engage in these duties from my place of sanctuary. How good it is to read all these comments and know how many friends we have . Love from New Zealand

Dear Friend, you keep doing exactly what you are doing. You got this :) Gardening and having a cottage garden is a form of meditation if you will for many of us. A way to protect our spirits from the outside negativity. A peaceful place for our souls. Peace Thank you again, for sitting with us while some of us sip tea also and watch your post. Excellence!

I hope tea time was lovely ❤

When we bought our home 20 years ago I decided I wanted a friendship garden. I asked each of my close friends, family members and neighbors for one of their favorite plants in their garden. I marked each plant with their name and 20 years later it is now a beautiful cottage garden with a beautiful variety and I think of each that contributed to it as I work in my gardens to escape the chaos in our world. In the fall when I cut back my gardens, I offer plants to any that would like to add them to their gardens. I care for my elderly mom with Alzheimer’s seven days a week and gardening is my go to for prayer, peace and calmness to give me strength to continue to care for my mom. Thank you for your inspiration ❤. Summer, heat and humidity are my least favorite but “to everything there is a season” and I’m so looking forward to a beautiful cool fall🍁🍁

It calms my mind and spirit to be in my small garden. Gods presence is all around me in nature, His creations. Yes, simplify in a world that has lost its way. Pray for what we can not control, hope for the best and be grateful for small things.

I think a if we can make a home a peaceful ,pretty place and we love the Lord our God with all our hearts ,, it can bless those who enter,,, after all the Lord God put us in a garden in the beginning to tend,, it was His idea in the beginning ❤️

Lea, I'm really looking forward to the "You're not perfect" podcast. I have enjoyed every one of your podcasts immensely. I hope you continue to film more.

Blessings Lea! Love the sign! What a lovely and inviting addition to your mountain!! Father God made us overseers of His creation. Thank you for sharing with us what He has put on your heart! I have little to no shade and a basement apartment in a suburb but over the last 3 years I have been learning to container garden and I'm loving it! I call my garden my garden of grace because I do what I can for the plants to be successful but it's God's grace that anything grows. I have 2 containers with potatoes and whenever I plant those I think of you because of your success in finally growing them. Thank you for the inspiration in these videos! I just love them! Love you dear sister in Christ! Blessings to you and your beloved!❤

I love to put seeds down and watch them grow. It is something hard to put into words. It's peaceful for me to watch Yah's creation just do what He designed it to do. It puts a smile on my face a comfort that only He can provide.

I plan on having a small veggie and herb garden next summer once our baby is a year old.💗 Thanks for another great inspirational video!

Hey from the caribbean. I agree with you if we was to connect with nature and romantize every thing. Make everything beautiful and see beauty in everything. There will be less mental health and sickness. We would live a more wholesome life. I envy you. This kind of lifestyle is not available to everyone. This channel is very healing. Even your voice and the way you put everything together. Be blessed. The world needs more positive influencers where there is no toxic behaviours.

I love ferns! We have one fern that was dying when we bought it and now it is so huge in our home. I like the ivy you have. I don't know names of the majority of my plants and love that you can just say a bunch of names like that. I agree that it is good to be thankful for things and finding beauty in the little simple things. I like the Welcome to the Mountain sign you put up.

Hi Lea. Thank you for a lovely video. I am inspired to go and potter around in my garden.

I think we take the little things for granted and we need to stop doing that because life is made up of little things. These channels promoting love of the small things are the healthiest things on the internet right now. My mental health really suffers when I don't stop and appreciate the little things.
