Creative Garden Tour with Hobbit Houses, Garden Chess Boards, Monet Moments, & Macaroon Statues? 

You are a gifted narrator and a generous soul. What a lovely treat! You made us feel as though we were there! Thank you, Danielle.

Thank you Danielle for taking us through this beautiful garden! It was so peaceful. You’re so blessed to have so many beautiful public gardens so close to you. Deanna

I really never thought a fall tour would be so beautiful. I enjoyed the tour very much. I have definitely changed my thoughts on grasses too. Great video.

The Hobbit house was my favorite! I also loved the circle entryway and fountain area. One of my favorite places to visit is the Biltmore house and its gardens that were designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. I would like to visit the Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the garden of P. Allen Smith at his home Moss Mountain, Arkansas.

Danielle, thank you for taking us on these peaceful garden walks. I live 15 minutes from New Hope and didn’t know about Paxton. My friends and I went to Chantecleer in September based on your recommendation, and we LOVED it!!

Thank you for sharing this. My favorites were Monet inspired garden and the hobbit house. I was also excited to see the Beautyberry as I just planted one this year. From my experience, I'm 59 YO, when something makes me uncomfortable, there's a reason. Trust your gut and don't question your sensitivity. On my garden bucket list would be Great Dixter.

My favorite garden is Ocean Shores in Charleston, Oregon (near Klamath Falls) on the Oregon Coast. It is about eight hours away from me so I don't get to visit often but it has something in all four seasons. They do Christmas lights in December. There's kind of a secret gate in the back you can walk down a path to the Pacific ocean. It's my idea of heaven.

At 8.57 the tallest tree in the middle in the back, completely mesmerized me during this walk that tree just centered the whole view to me

Oregom botanical garden is FABULOUS

On my bucket list to visit for several years was the home of Bunny Williams. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see her home and property this year!! It was so stunning!! It exceeded my expectations. Bunny was there, greeting all of the attendees for the Garden Conservancy Open Days. She was so warm and welcoming to all! I visited 14 gardens this year, and last year as well. I don't think any garden will be able to match the atmosphere of Bunny's garden.

Shows how when the summer season is winding down, there is still wonderful color and beauty in a garden. Very well maintained, thanks for taking us along on your visit. Love the Hobbit House and those graceful trees next to it. Also not fond of the Egyptian sculptures but art appeals to many in different ways.

This was beautiful, I loved all the grasses, they can be under utilized in a garden. Yum, macarons, one of my favorite sweets. Thanks Danielle, you always make us feel we are right there with you 😊

Hi Danielle, lol no I wouldn't put a macaroon statue in my garden, but it was fun to see it in the garden at Paxon Farm. What a wonderful creative peaceful place to tour. You hit all the highlights! especially that hobbit house! what an awesome thing to stumble upon! didn't you just want to go knock on the door, lol. I agree the sphinx statues kind of creeped me out! but passing through the stone circle was worth it! I enjoyed all the water features, something about it gives me a tranquil feeling too. Thank you for this much needed fall garden interest tour, as I am still clinging onto the last bit of summer for as long as I can! 😍

Agree with you on the scary statues! I don’t understand the cookies, the plastic chess set in such a beautiful place. Thank you for taking us along as it is mostly a peaceful place.

I believe the Variegated tree at 4:44 time mark is indeed a dogwood tree. It's also called wedding cake tree aka Cornus controversa

The variegated dogwood is a Pagoda Dogwood. Proven Winners has one called Golden Shadows I believe. ❤

From South Africa. Thank you for giving me a space to create peace in my mind and soul this morning. Too beautiful.

Thanks for sharing this garden with us! Lovely place loved the hobbit house.

This was a very unique garden.

What a beautiful garden. Thanks for taking us.

I really liked the hobbit house. I dream of going to Mackinac Island in Michigan. Not sure if I spelled that correctly. To me that place is heaven on earth.

Thanks Danielle ! 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃

Wow, what a delightful garden! I visited their website and there are a multitude of photos of the garden as well as the nursery. The nursery is quite the operation. This will have to be on my list of gardens to visit. Thank you so very much for introducing us to it.

What a BEAUTIFUL GARDEN TO WALK THROUGH so relaxing I really enjoyed the wealth of fabulous trees !!

I believe that the red tipped grass is Bloodgood. Loved tour of the garden. Thank you so much.

Beautiful garden full of surprises.

Love this garden and cant thank you enough for sharing this with us!

Just beautiful. Thanks for the tour! I scratched Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia off my list this year and it was literally breathtaking. I’m dreaming one day to make it to Shinjuku Gyoen garden in Tokyo. Sonya

I have a public garden that you should add to YOUR bucket list: The Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis. Online photos do not do this garden justice. Wear very comfortable shoes and plan to spend the entire day. It is absolutely breathtaking! It was the highlight of our summer vacation this past year.

Wow! I never really thought of fall with so many beautiful colors! I would love to visit someday. Thank you ❤

Never a fan of the hard-edged modern statues within natural settings. I find them jarring. All else quite beautiful. I especially love the round moon gate, black arched bridge & the door of the 'hobbit house.'

Thank you for taking us along. I was visiting Federal Twist this summer during an open house event and was not far from Paxton Farm. Wish I knew about it but now I have another garden for my list. 😊. Thank you. As for gardens I would like to visit - The Chicago Botanical Gardens is on the list and really any garden in England.

Best tour yet🤩🤩🤩

I love New Hope but I have never heard about this garden. It’s a gem! I’ll make it a visit in the spring!

Loved the hobbit house!

What a wonderful garden, thank you for bringing us along! I particularly loved the walkways and water areas

Beautiful garden tour👍👍❤️🍀🍀🍀🎉

Oh, that was so pleasant! Thank you for taking us along. I went to Butchart Gardens in British Columbia many years ago and I would love to return again. It was beautiful. And there is a garden that my daughter has talked about for 10 years in England, where she lives now. I look forward to seeing that and many other English gardens when I next visit. I totally agree with Michel's comment; you are so gentle and dear like a beloved friend or relative. I'm inspired by your videos and am enjoying creating a garden up here in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. I will be taking things I've enjoyed and learned from you with me. Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas!

That was nice to see, thank you! I’ve just come back from Paris, loved visiting the gardens in Versailles & around the Louvre & Palais Royale.

I love when you take us along on these beautiful and peaceful garden tours. They are so inspirational. I take lots of screenshots to save ideas I might want to someday incorporate onto my garden. Thank you! 💚

That was very enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along.

Daniel thank you for the wonderful tour! this garden is very interesting!

Beautiful! Absolutely stunning

Absolutely amazing and that hobbit house was so cute!!!🌸💕💕

So beautiful ! Thanks for sharing.

Love your garden tours! Always so relaxing and a great way to start my day 🤎

Love it 💙very unique. Would Love to have all that land to plant and create rooms.

Chantecleer, ever since you introduced through a lovely tour! I would like to see this one too. I love the different paths with gravel, wood and stones!

Loved the Garden🌻 Have you ever visited Gettysburg Daylily and Peafowl? Open I think 3 weeks in the summer, a rainbow of gorgeous lilies. Also Surreybrooke in Middletown,Md a relaxing walk through beautiful gardens and nursery. Thank you for sharing you walk through the garden🌻

Wow thank you so much for that tour!! Danielle your commentary is so relaxing and I feel like I’m actually there. I appreciate that so much, as someone who is unable to get out much.

Thank you, beautiful

Thank you Danielle, that was a fantastic tour. I recently learned about a garden called ‘Les Jardins quatre vents” in Quebec (Canada) after seeing a Netflix special about it called “The Gardener”, not sure if it’s available to watch in the US but if it is, you’ll love it. The gardens are about 8 hour drive from me but I’m going to try and get tickets for next summer, they only open it up to visitors 3 days each year!

Great tour. I love the way you talk us through. I live in the UK, so I hope to visit David Austin's garden and Sarah Raven's Gardens.😊

This is a really beautiful garden, I also like the hobbit door best. It's a shame that the facility is not wheelchair accessible at all.

So lovely. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place: really inspiring!

Very interesting garden. Thank you for the tour. My dream garden to visit would be Hill Top. Beatrix Potters home and garden.

I am not a statue person either, they frighten me too. 😂 I like small animal statues and something whimsical though.

What a beautiful garden. I particularly liked the Monet and Hobbit areas.

This garden is a masterclass in how to use foliage for interest instead of flowers. The garden I have most enjoyed visiting was the Japanese garden in Portland Oregon. My bucket list garden is Great Dixter in Britain.

Oh my gosh I'm gonna have to come visit this place. you need to go back in the Spring and take us with you!! oh I just love this entire garden, everything about it. I don't know what garden i'd like to go see I'm kind of a beginner when it comes to visiting arboretums and gardens so I'm open for suggestions. But I will do some research if some googling and I will find me some. I'd like to see your garden.😊❤❤

beautiful THX Danielle

It is stunning!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!! Danielle this is so precious for us who can't get to these beautiful gardens at the moment. Bless you dear heart - sooooooooooooooooooooo bbbbbeeeeeautiful!!!!!

Thank you for taking us on this beautiful garden tour. The hobbit house was my favorite!

Thank you Danielle❤You are a wonderful friend to carefully show us this beautiful garden🤗I love all the plantings and the Hobbit door was such a fun surprise😁 The sculptures were not my taste in art. I loved seeing this beautiful garden, especially since where I live we do not see such vivid fall color❤️🧡🍁🍂

Gorgeous!!! Thank you so much!!

Beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on this garden tour!

Amazing garden and what a pleasure to see beautiful fall color. We don't have that in south central Texas.

Very beautiful! Always enjoy these tours. Thank you

I loved the tour, thanks! It is great to see trees and shrubs in the fall as well as spring and summer.

What a Beautiful garden! This gives me so many ideas for my property! Thank you for taking us along! 🥰.... I'm not a fan of the statues either! 😉

Love your garden tour videos! You're very lucky to have so many gardens to visit close by. Thank you for sharing.

How beautiful. Sweet. Thanks for taking us on this tour. Loved it.😊

This was fabulous, Danielle, well worth the fee. Have a great weekend! ❤

SO peaceful and beautiful for each area. The Hobbit house was my FAVORITE. Just drew you in! I wanted to actually. The weeping tree is the PERFECT specimen there. Thank you for sharing your adventure.❤

Hi Danielle, I love this tour ! This place has gardens for every gardener’s taste! It is on my list to visit ! 🌎❤️🇨🇦

Always love a garden tour. Very interesting. I would have liked to see more benches to sit and enjoy the different places. Liked most of the art.

Gorgeous ❤️

Thank you for sharing all these beautiful gardens. I'd like to visit them all! I especially enjoyed the Hobbit garden.

Beautiful! So relaxing 😊

I don't know if anyone answered your question about the tree at 4:56 or so, but I wonder IF it might be Aralia Elata "Silver Umbrella." Erin of The Impatient Gardener has one in her yard near her deck. (I am not sure, though, if that is what this is.)

You always do such good tours! Really enjoyed this one.

Very cool...lots of different and eclectic elements to these gardens, some I liked a lot... some not as much but overall very interesting and thought provoking. Thanks for another journey.

Thanks for taking us along! It's so beautiful and peaceful and love the fall color! The hobbit house is amazing--the placement of it next to the willowy-type tree and it's structure. Very nice! I loved the stone circle and all the water features but the Egyptian statues seemed out of place to me. I would love to visit some of the formal gardens in England!! Thanks again!

❤ lovely

You should see it in the spring, it is equally beautiful

That was a beautiful and peaceful stroll - thank you! New Hope isn't far from me - I will definitely have to check it out. The Hobbit House was my favorite section! My bucket list garden is Kew in England :)

Does anyone know what the purple flower name is..at first glance thought it was Iris ..gorgeous color! So enjoyed this garden, so lovely. The round stone entryway, trees Hobit house were perfectly placed to draw you forward into the next garden room. Thank you Danielle, great tour!

I love moments of art throughout gardens, big and small. I, personally, have started an art walk along the fence that is behind my narrow shade garden that is created by bottom limbed cedar trees. This allows the wall of art to be easily visible before the canopy fills out. I am hoping to tour the Christmas lights at Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens this December. It really is beautiful, the gardens are also filled with driftwood art created from the ocean beach nearby.

You may want to make a Music-backed version of this.. Or a highlights vid.. And link them. Thank you for sharing your fall season in this way! 🍻 This gives the impression that nobody was ever there, except you and the Canadian geese. 💖

Very nice

That was a lovely garden tour. Thank you. I will be visiting Belle Isle in Detroit to view the drift garden by Piet Ouldolf planted by Roy Diblik & his team. Over 5000 perinneals. Frederick Law Olmstead was the original designer of Belle Isle. The Jewel of Detroit in the Detroit River.

The bench by the koi pond. 👍🏼

Oops, I misstated the name of the garden on the Oregon Coast it is Shore Acres. Sorry. Thanks for your video.

The hobbit house ❤

Thanks for taking us through these gardens. Lovely, and the hobbit house is adorable and magical. I don’t care for the modern statues.

I am so intrigued by the hobbit house. Did you go around? Is it made of stone or wood? I was wondering if the door opens and you can go inside or peek inside, or if it's just for show.

The marsh if I remember correctly is full of Japanese iris

Would you like a water feature in your garden Danielle?
