As a landscaper myself, I can't wait to see it happening. Gardens are not just a frame - they give personality to the outside of any building, and deeply influence the first impression and how you feel about it. Not to mention the pleasure and peace that a beautiful garden gives you. I wish you great success in this new project!!

I bought an EcoFlow for my home because of all the recommendations from the chateau videos. I'm so glad I did. As a single person living alone it is such a comfort to know I have an affordable backup. BTW, Jonathan is such a sweetie. He looks so proud on that tractor!

Ash you are so patient with Jonathan it was great to see him smiling as he was driving the tractor. The garden is going to be so full of color and beauty Terry you and Ash have a great dream that’s coming true.

It was so cute to see the chickens chase behind you looking for worms. I guess with the new garden the feathery girls will have to roam elsewhere. Seeing the pride in Johnathan's and all of your eyes when he was driving the tractor was precious. He is growing up fast. Karen and Shane have made an amazing garden design. Tracy, I am beginning to think you love hard work. Your always smiling working, but more in the garden or outside. I am like that. Boys, I hope you get the urns you want at a better price. The little fountains, the birds, will love that. The color scheme and plant selection thus far sound awesome. Lord Patrick as always gave a helping paw.

Maybe you could put an appeal in your local paper to the people in your village and ask if they have plants in their garden they want to share with you. Often perennials grow too big and need to be divided. It would have many advantages: You get plants that are local and accustomed to your soil and climate and they are for free. As reward you could invite the donators for a summer garden party. Gardeners usually love to share plants and it would surely make you a lot of new friends.

Bravo! So exciting to see this formal garden. The framework being laid so the planting and paths with it all coming together. It's going to be quite elegant and I'm sure with all of the plantings statuary absolutely gorgeous. This is so exciting and everyone has worked so very hard and again letting Jonathan help is wonderful but the whole adult team I must commend and take my hat off because I myself have loved gardening for years. I still do it but on a smaller scale now. Very small and house plants. Will continue to follow this journey❤

Your gardens will be stunning and you are always so gracious to those who help you. You are both gentlemen- just what a chateau needs!

The garden plan looks terrific. It appears period appropriate in design. yet, there is still something that is cutting edge with some of the shrubs selected. That is very clever! I can only imagine how intriguing it will be to stroll through it. Again, you guys should get some official French recognition for the careful restoration that you are curating. You have the most keen awareness of the history of this property. You could make a documentary series on this whole process. Honestly, the property is having an awakening like sleeping beauty or Snow White awakening from a long sleep.

It’s so great you have Jonathan driving the tractor! What a confidence building activity!

I love how wisely you’re going about your landscaping. You make sure that what you take out is not original plus you are paying attention to what will grow in that climate. Far too many people go with what they think rather than what will work. Also, be aware that it takes time for a garden to grow into itself. It may look rather bare at first, but that’s better than being too crowded and looking overgrown after just a few years.
