I'm in awe of this magnificent garden. How nice to have two people who share a love of trees and plants. The love and work they have put into their garden has paid off tenfold.

Skilled woodworkers are much more than "handy". Give credit where credit is due. Mr. Gagnon's hand is everywhere in this masterpiece.

This is an amazing and beautiful garden. It's packed with beautiful flowers and a layout that makes me feel happy and awl. Truly fascinated with their love of gardening and green thumbs. 💚

What a lovely couple and a beautiful property. I love how they save everything and don't have to spend a lot on plants by using what they have. I wanted to see where he gets all the rock on the property for all the gardens. I wish I had rock available as it does so much for the landscape, and it cost so much where I live to buy them.

Love when two people have common interests and their collaboration creates beauty. What a magnificent garden. Such a simple little change-painting the rebar in the dalia garden was adorable ☺️

Living not far from this garden, it is very encouraging to see a garden tour from Maine. I see a lot from states below us and we can't grow a lot of the plants that are so beautiful. Our season is so short. This garden is very inspiring.

This is one of the beautiful gardens I have seen. Their hard work has paid off in creating this beauty.

I can just relax with a cup of coffee near a blue spruce and enjoy the garden.
