I vote to Not paint the fountain, wherever it ends up. Its rustic beauty can't be bettered.

I think it's a nice little surprise finding the fountain right where it is. No one would expect it there, and with some nice planting around it, makes it very unique 😉 ❤

The little fountain should be exactly where you see it in your vision. I have too much respect for your artistry to comment. The old vision someone else had is in their past according to their vision and path. I watch to see your artful vision unfold! You are amazing! This entire team is just stellar! Jonathan is such a trooper! Driving the tractor like a pro! Nice!

I remember driving a tractor when I was 7. I’m 74 now so that was a long time ago.

I would keep it in its original place and get the area as a garden too, maybe less formal but with areas to sit and reflect or read a book. I believe in keeping these historic monument as they were at the beginning of their lives.

Johnathan has grown so much! Lucky young man who gets to drive the tractor. I think it should be moved and admired .

I would keep the fountain where it is. If you bring everything up to the Chateau what would there be to see away from it? It's one of those things you leave away from the main attraction for people to discover. When I work on my gardens I try to have items that make you want to go even further to see. Then once there allow another "thing" be it a flashy plant, a small statue, *maybe a fountain* or a little water feature with a lily pad etc. Make the visitors take a longer walk.

Yeah, I say give the little fountain a prime position to be viewed and admired up the stairs.

You guys never cease to amaze me. Over the last 3 years you have amazed me with your new skills and have really honed them down to being very strong ❤ stay strong and don't forget family time is important. Jonathan is growing so fast😊

I think it should be left in the original place, its part of the history of the chateau. I wouldn't paint it. I love the way it looks. There must have been a reason it was placed there. I wonder if it was part of underground water irrigation for the lower part of the garden. I love the idea of a slightly informal garden.

Jonathan driving!!!! How exciting. Wall building…excellent as always. Garden will be fantastic. If the original fountain makes a noise then your guests will go searching for it. Make a plaque for it explaining the significance of the petit fountain

What a perfect environment for a youngster to grow up in. It gives a young one the chance to learn real skills with real equipment. It teaches that hard work enables a good outcome. It demonstrates that many hands make light work, or at the very least, that many hands can lighten the load. It also teaches that commitment to family is important and worth the effort. You are a wonderful family. Best to you all.

Just imagine how many gardeners it took to move all that earth, back in the 1700's. You have an advantage over man power, it's called machine power. Yes, and the owners watched back then, too.

great Job lads, and lasses, oh my goodness how Johnathon has grow, it's lovely to see how brilliant he is at driving the tractor. well done Johnathon. I've watched a lot of gardening programmes and quite alot don't like the use of the matting, they say it causes lots of bother yrs down the line, watched one today it was a guy from Canada, he uses loads of wood chippings/bark. your lovely fountain would be nice kept in it's original place and maybe you could put a little table and a chair beside it with some lovely plants for people to just sit and have a quite secluded place to sit with a glass of wine, read a book, watch the sun set or just take in and savour the beauty that surrounds them, you could make a little wooden plaque where the seating area is and just write on it, Serenity. Tranquility. Mindfulness. I think that would be just beautiful.
