I like that she wants to put in a refreshment station by the greenhouse for people while working in the garden.

It’s looking grand and what a fabulous group of people who volunteer to help you achieve your goals.

As one who has both ornamental cherry and pear trees, I must warn you that the pear tree has a strong foul smell when it is in full bloom. Considering how close they would be to al fresco dining area, you should take that into consideration.

Davy's plans and Dan's hands, Nick's saw, we're all in awe!! 😃

Such good news that the lovely Chapel Restorer is back on board and regained his full health and his plans for the Chapel sound AMAZING. So happy... 🐱‍💻🐱‍💻🐱‍💻🍀🍀🍀

Dan and Kirstie really have seriously green thumbs. The garden and especially the courtyard are looking fabulous in such a short time. Get Dan the digger so he can flip the compost easier, lol.

Please rethink the Flowering Pear trees. … we have them here in Middle Tennessee. We know them well. They are beautiful when they flower but when the blossoms are done and dying off they STINK…. Smell like sewer if you know what I mean. Most importantly they are natorious for getting damaged when there are high winds and/or thunderstorms. They crack open. I think you may need to change the plan fir the flowering pear trees .. you will be glad you did.

[RebeccaKnight]

Fantastic idea, I'm going to tell my husband he's got 5 years to get our remodeling done so the house can be the place we have my 60th BD party!

Four thumbs up (including toes) for the digger. I think it will have paid for itself by the time the garden is all planted and built. Not to mention for ongoing Maintenance issues in the future. I’ve seen those little diggers used for moving large stones and lifting all sorts, so not just useful for digging. Good luck Dan and all! It’s going to be wonderful to watch the gardens transform.

I cracked up when Stephanie mentioned making the third compost bin the new gardener's cottage and Davey responded with: "We can put a roof on it." 😂😂😂

[coletteretif]

Maybe you could think of planting some trees that are now rare such as the Cornelian Cherry, Black Mulberry, Quince.... They were popular during the 1800's. My French father aunt had these. There are many old-fashioned trees/ plants... that would help to bring back some biodiversity and authenticity to the garden. Look it up in the book you received concerning edible plants. I bought it and its great. Davey should read it too. P.S. He is shy but very sweet.

Flowering pears are hell for those with allergies and are considered invasive in the USA because they spread. Go with anything else.

[rockinneverrollin]

As a landscape designer in the U.S., I would not recommend any ornamental pear. Their flowers smell horrible and they are invasive to natural areas. Birds eat their fruit and spread them around to everywhere. We have a horrid ornamental pear issue in the U.S.

Everything else looks great!

Nick is AMAZING. He works so hard and so fast. 😃👍🏼👏🏼

[caroltoia]

I so love the garden plan Davie has designed, he is a genius, can't wait to see it come to fruishion and Dan with his digger, icing on the cake. Stephanie you must be so excited, imagin how your mama and Percy are feeling, they would be so proud of you.

[tinekejoldersma]

Who doesn't need a little digger, Stephanie, every time I see one I want it. They are cute! And that small man is a whirlwind in your woods. Marvelous, I enjoyd Davey's plans. Especially the folly of shrubs to put little seats in, statues, and ornamental roses. Just perfect.

I came back to this video today to watch how the original gardenplan was, and even though i have watched every chateau dairies multiple times it still amazes me how much has changed over a couple of years. And I wonder, will they complete the garden within the five year timeframe they sett in this video. I guess not, but that only beeing because the chapel and grand salon restoration has taken a lot more time and money than anticipated. I look forwar to the next couple of years

[hatshepsut]

What Dan is asking for is not outrageous, it is sensible with all of the plans on the table. I suspect that in no time it will become indispensable. I can’t believe all of the work the tree man has done! Things sure have come a long way baby from last year at this time. It is wonderful! 🥰🥂🇫🇷

[cheriefry]

I agree that about rethinking the ornamental Pear trees. Although they look lovely, they do have a very disagreeable odor. They also are prone to damage in storms, splitting and losing major branches in thunderstorms and wind. They have actually been banned here in my state of Missouri, now and trees such as dogwood and flowering crabapple trees are being suggested as replacements.

I hope you know how much joy you bring people. Seriously. I’m battling a massive depression in my restoration pitfalls, and your bubbly, can-do attitude is so… reassuring. It’s like a warm hug! And I so enjoy your content as well. It’s just a joy to come here and watch your content. Thank you so much for sharing.
