Isn’t it just the best?! Gardening…having all those beautiful plants and blooms…share meals in the garden mmmmm just 💕💕💕

I love that special nursery and all the beautiful plants you chose, especially the roses and lemon tree! 🍋🌹🌱🌿💚

Buongiorno Alla my favourite place to visit the garden centre love the fragrant roses lemon fruit trees your terraces are going to be absolutely fabulous my love I get very excited looking at the garden centres Ape smiling all the way home Thankyou Grazie Mille you bring me joy and inspiration Chloe loving your special time Amore ciao to Sergi 💖💖😘😘😍😍👌👌🌟🌟🌹🌸🌼🍋

Oh my gosh Alla you picked beautiful roses. And I like the rest of your plants but your roses are my favorite. Can't wait till spring. WOW. Be careful when you go to a nursery garden store. Sometimes we want a little of everything without checking if it can grow in your garden. When I go, I feel like I went to heaven. Everything is so beautiful there. I imagine heaven like that beautiful like a garden nursery. Stay warm and take care.

I can’t wait to try it 🥰 sounds fun and delicious 😅 joke)))

What a lovely garden center! I'm so happy to see you go to one with a wide variety of healthy plants, and arranged aesthetically to inspire you. I can spend half a day in such a place! Your little Apa is full of exciting and beautiful things! I want to say that group of plants you saw, with the somewhat yellow leaves and a tag identifying it as 'philadelphus' [7:20 in your video] is called Mock Orange in the U.S. It becomes a lovely large shrub covered in white blossoms in spring to early summer. They smell like orange blossoms and attract butterflies. My grandmother planted one and in just 5 years it became a 5 meter tall shrub that filled the air in her garden with the delicious scent. I am also very happy to see you trying to draw out a plan for your garden. To help your plan be realistic, rather than just artistic, may I suggest you buy some graph paper to draw on. Measure your garden with a tape measure so you know the actual size of each terrace. Look up the mature size of all the plants you have chosen, then you can use the little squares in the graph paper to keep your drawings of plants realistic to the actual size of your garden.

I think you will be very happy with your David Austin rose. I had one bought for me as a gift, I can't remember the name but it is a double pink similar to yours, and the scent is divine. Twelve years later and it keeps flowering at least twice a year. I still have one flower left this year.🌹😊

My friends daughter is called Olivia Rose and we bought one of the David Austin roses for her mums garden, it is beautiful and smells heavenly x

You are like a kid in a candy shop when you are in a plant nursery. You remind me of my younger self. I love that you are making a plan. I notice that you are looking at the photos of the plants in flower. Don't forget to consider what the plants will look like in other seasons in terms of whether the foliage changes colour or the plant is bare. Some people like spring flower gardens, but you might want to plan for little surprises to delight you in each season. My last garden had snowdrops planted under a ground cover called snow in summer (cerastium tomentosum). The silver foliage plants can also be a nice backdrop for other colours. You are doing an amazing job and I love your videos. Can't wait to see how your garden develops.

Alla, I think you should have lined the fence with small Cypress trees for privacy, that's just my view through my computer, I am not there in person. however, your knowledge and love of plants absolutely knows more than me. so, I will trust you and can't wait to see the finished product.

I love all the plants because I’m a gardener. It might be my age or more self control. I wouldn’t let myself plant and truly enjoy myself until all the rubbish was eliminated. It’s nice to see that you don’t restrict yourself that way. I do tons of research too to make sure I’m purchasing things that only grow in my planting zone. I can’t wait till spring to see your garden bloom.

I hope the raspberry tree doesn't become the problem that the blackberries are. I think they are similar in nature. Heuchera aka "coral bells". David Austin are my favorite roses.
