May Garden Tour / Alliums, Bearded Iris, Late Tulips, Lilacs, Geums, Azalea, Repetition Plantings 

Danielle, I had to stop this video for a minute to let you know that of all the garden channels I watch, your garden is probably my favorite. Why? I think it’s more than a lovely garden. it’s more than “just” beautiful plants and shrubs. What’s missing from some RU-vid gardens is what yours has in abundance. Heart. I can feel myself walking with you every Saturday. Thank you. ❤

Danielle, I'm a 73 yr old man, life long Gardner , taught by my grandma and grandfather. My grandmother taught me about flowers and my grandfather being a carpenter for the railroad for 40 yrs , laid out his vegetable gardens to the square inch. To understand their differences my grandma always said" she found flowers can grow in a crooked row, 😊. Wanted you to know how much I enjoy your channel and your remembrances, and heirlooms.

Your home went from “Handyman’s Special” to “A Gardener’s Dream”! A garden tour given by your husband with the names he gives the flowers would be hilarious! Happy Mother’s Day Danielle and to all the other Mothers in this community. ❤

In life we talk about soul and that is what I think is in abundance in your garden. That is what sets your garden apart from others and invites us to return again and again to witness and absorb that soul. Perhaps it is grace. Or respect for the past and the people who have influenced and loved you. But whatever name you attach to it, it is special, breath taking, meaningful and a moment in time where for that moment, time stands still and we find ourselves communing with all of the beauty around us.

Happy Mother’s Day, Danielle!❤

Danielle, your grandma is smiling upon you from heaven. Your garden is just breathtaking. I'm so glad I found your channel. Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Danielle, good on you for cardboard mulching the area to the right of your library. It actually widens your view point and as well as removing extra lawn, it just looks so natural. I think what you are doing by reducing the maintenance and planning things out, for your large garden rooms is an excellent plan. As we age, we need to make everything more enjoyable and less of a chore, don't you think? I've never seen your gardens so beautiful and restful at the moment. You've done so well!😊jo.

As I’ve said before “Always a pleasure to watch Danielle.”

I love these walk abouts. I don't care if you do them in your pj's! Thanks for sharing your beautiful gardens and your book recommendations. Happy Mother's Day! 💐

Danielle, we do accept you just the way you are! And thank you for being you. 🤩

If the white bearded iris reblooms in fall it could be Immortality

LOL...when you described your "gardening outfit". Love it! I would hang wash in my pj's. Early morning time was "the best". One with the morning sounds. NIRVANA! Thank you for a delightful tour. BEAUTIFUL as always.

Thank you Danielle for the beautiful walk thru. It’s always such a pleasure & so beautiful.Till next time Happy Mother’s Day 😊

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Danielle and to all the RU-vid garden community 💐 I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BEAUTIFUL BLESSED DAY 😍

Your gardens truly show a labor of love.

The design and plant combination are beautiful. Alliums and irises are gorgeous!!!The book chat at the end is icing on the cake. Love it. TY so much for the tour, the therapy, and inspirations.

Your garden looks more wonderful with every passing year ! All of your “edits” Have really paid off! I most definitely think you axe all The late Tulips, it’s not worth the effort and expense for such a short show and early tulips are so much more satisfying!

I love these videos…so beautiful, relaxing and inspiring! A perfect watch to start the day! The view at the beginning today looks like a Thomas Kincaid painting! Fills my soul. 💕💕💕 PS laughing at the picture you painted at the end! If I didn’t have neighbors, that’s how I would want to garden but with a ponytail instead of 2 curler! 👌😂👍

Happy Mother’s Day! I am loving these garden walk tours and book suggestion videos . So much helpful information. Thank you.

I am so loving your garden tours dear Danielle as your videos are always not only beautiful but also informative. I am amazed at how you guys in the USA are jumping straight from Spring into Summer with plants that we wouldn't expect to see blooming in our London gardens until mid June. I do understand your frustration at only enjoying late flowering Tulips for just a few days and you may consider an alternative for next Spring. I love that your pretty flower bouquets are selling like croissants in a Parisian boulangerie 😃💚

Danielle, I “accidentally” left some Ranunculus in the ground here in 6B and they’re about to BLOOM! What a happy surprise this spring!

Beautiful Danielle 🥰 so pretty and peaceful 🥰 so nice to see Rocky is doing really well x Happy Mother’s Everyone 💐

So far this garden tour has been my favourite look. The abundance of tulips were gorgeous but the blues, whites and the yellow/golden colours are my favourite colour combos and I find this snapshot very soothing.

Every time you peel back another layer of the previous owner, my jaw hits the floor!

Hi Danielle, that was such a peaceful relaxing walk through your garden. Thanks for the tour and book recommendations. Im glad Rockie is doing better. Tell Grace we missed her 😍

Like how the borders are filling in English garden style fashion

After so many years of hard work, your garden is so beautiful 😻 I love that you don’t use chemical fertilizer :) I learned so much from you. Thank you!

Beautiful, absolutely stunning garden 👌🥰

Love the way your now black garage recedes into the background. It really lets the plants take center stage.

What a beautiful opening shot in the video!

Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful and stunning garden, Its the bees knees.

That white iris may be immortality, mine is blooming, and I’m in south jersey (same zone)

Wow that main flower walk is so purple….my moms favorite🥰 She’d be in heaven!

I have enjoyed your garden so much .First time to see your video.❤

Oh my goodness, Danielle, I am always so inspired by your garden!! So many things you do I want to try too!! and PLEASE have your husband do a garden tour haha before you even said that I was wishing my husband would watch your garden tour with me but I think your husband telling his names would be the ticket! My husband was cracking up when I told him your husband calls them "ding-dong bells" haha and thank you for the book recs! Im so excited to check them out!! Oh and I agree about stopping at mid-late tulips for here in the Lehigh Valley, PA area too, my late ones just didn't have enough time to shine this year...the mid-late ones under my maple tree were the sweet spot for late color and lifespan (Hakuun did the best this year!)

As always, it was great to see your garden. I learned a lot!!! Please, let's have the 'realistic' garden tour 😘

Such a beautiful peaceful garden!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love the bright tulips around the bird bath. It's very romantic. Gives me the same vibe as roses climbing over doors and arch ways.

Absolutely stunning!!! Very inspirational. Thank you.

Your garden always looks so beautiful no matter what mine of year it is!

Your garden is so beautiful and magical! I keep expecting to see fairies or pixies jump out from under a flower cluster! The library and all your arbors just add so much to the garden. You are very lucky to live there! Thanks for sharing!🧚🌸🧚‍♀️💐🧚‍♂️

WOW what an amazing garden . Reminds me of my Nan & Grandads garden ☺️

Lol. My preferred morning garden attire is also boots and pajamas. Thank you again for the beautiful peaceful tour of your garden.

My jaw dropped when you said you didn’t even own a hose until last year. Hi from Alberta.

The garden is looking beautiful! Oh no, poor Rocky! Keep getting better little guy. Thank you for sharing your garden Danielle and Happy Mother's Day!

Danielle, your garden is just magical ❤❤❤ thank you for sharing it with us

Such beauty! You keep raising the bar.💖

Your garden is absolutely beautiful!!!!

Wow. Your garden is amazing. So ambitious and successful.

My favorite garden Chanel. So informative, beautiful, and relaxing.

Oh Danielle i Love everything about your gardens. I can't get enough of them. Your flowers are Absolutely Breathtaking. I Love your Library and that is so nice it is included in your gardens. You did and outstanding job on your Gardens. Thank you for letting us visit you for awhile and I enjoyed every minute of it So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤

Your garden looks so lovely right now. It was such a nice way to start the weekend! Question: could you please show your snowball viburnum in a future video? I'm in love with them and would find your thoughts on the shrub very helpful.

So peaceful 🙏🏻

I got aphids for the first time last year on my snowball viburnums that were about 5 years old. Living in Montana though they don't bloom until June, and I think the aphids came afterward. Last year I had aphids on the viburnums and plum for the first time. Love your garden walks - incredible amount of work you put into your gardens.

I laughed outlaid both times you said that your husband called Foxglove "ding dong bells". Also I bought tulip bulbs at a discount store that have bloomed a beautiful single purple for 4 weeks and still look good tonight. Thank you for teaching me what not to grow.. Love your channel.

I love the alliums, the tulips in the gardens boxes, and stepping stone path to the arch trellis and just everything else. You have an absolutely stunning garden design!

I loved the totally tangerine geum when I first saw it at a garden center. Color stopped me in my tracks. Love how you used it in your garden.

싱그럽고 아름다운 영상을 공유해주셔서 감사합니다 덕분에 행복한 마음 힐링하였습니다😍❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden!

Hi Danielle, Beautiful gardens!!! You really have green thumbs. Cheers, Albert from SF, CA

Thanks for sharing your garden🌻 always adds inspiration for me, thanks.

I’m on Long Island and it looks like our plants are in the same schedule. Alliums in bloom, peony buds showing color. Cool!! I’m dividing all my nepeta. Salvia is in bud. Roses are in bud. Irises just started opening. I can’t even!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love, love, love your library, and book chat. So original. Thank you.

What a pleasure! Love your garden design 💞

❤ miss D ❤ wonderful tour and grwat to see Rocky! Love, linda in Vancouver

Happy Mother’s Day!! 🌺

I enjoyed your beautiful garden, amazing.

Immortality ia white variety of iris.

The light on the flower walk foliage the first walk through...never enjoyed foliage so much! The late day light highlighting the colors, texture, and heights made it quite special. Very inviting, interesting, and soothing. 😍Oh, and the flowers were lovely too. 😊

Love you so glad for another video!!

Danielle, your whole property is a little slice of heaven !! You sure have a green thumb. Those purple tulips are so beautiful !! Happy Mothers Day !!

I’m with you trying for more repetition in my garden this year. Nice tour 😊

Your garden is AMAZING; SO beautiful! Thanks for sharing!😸

I love your walkabouts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.

Thanks for the beautiful tour. Your garden just keeps getting better!!

I can’t get over how much earlier your garden is than mine in 5b Maine 😂

Oh my gosh those crimsom tulips are gorgeous too forgot about this garden area. Pretty surprise yellow tulips! Thank you Danielle and we love just the way you are !!!

Your "surprise bed " is going to be beautiful! I can't wait to see it!

So very beautiful! 😎

Oh my - I'd never seen black aphids before this year - all three of my Rose of Sharon's were peppered - then I'll be dealing with the scentless plant bugs that love Hibiscus later in the season - I cut the stems off way back and will sacrifice blooms until much later but I love them so much I can't get rid of them. Your gardens are stunning Danielle and we look forward to seeing all the beauty every season♥

I have the problem of my little garden becoming a bit of a jungle too. Right now mine is a Sweet Pea jungle💗💜❤️ You garden is so beautiful 😍

Thank you for this lovely stroll. I’ve had some stressful weeks building up to an exam today… this walk was a great end to my day, and really turns my attention to get back out in my own garden! Thank you & Happy Mother’s Day 🌺🌸

I am so loving these walk and talk tours Danielle. Your garden is stunning! I like that you share the process of evolving your garden to suite your taste, and your preferences regarding doing less of what you don't like (lawn care) and more of what you do like. I am doing the same. I so appreciate all the information you share... spotted lantern fly host plants, what your taking out, what you wish you'd done differently, etc. Those surprise yellow flowers in the front garden bed are BEAUTIFUL!!! What a sweet surprise gift.

As always Danielle your gardens are beautiful. ❤I think I’m going to add more gladiator alliums this fall as I noticed they are more reliable on coming back year after year 😊

I love these weekly garden tours, so tranquil & to know what blooms when. I'm in the midst of transforming my antique rose garden to mostly perennials & your tip about repetition is extremely timely. I was wondering if combining the 4 raised beds immediately in front of your garden shed, to 2 large beds (allowing for a wider central path,) would solve your problem of matching the path width of the front 2. You'd end up with 2 wider raised beds, but would save a lot of time, energy & materials. Just a thought...

Danielle your story about your husband giving your flowers his own names is so funny cause my hubby does the same😅…beautiful tour and I love hearing your thoughts and plans…as you share your journey…

I have purple irises throughout my flower garden that I have split several times. Since I’ve don’t that, they are now white and no longer the deep purple that I had originally bought. I’m ok with it as this year there was a large outburst of blooms from them and it looked gorgeous. Hope this helps on possibly solving your white iris. Hugs and love from Texas!

Lovely!

Beautiful as always!

I always love your videos!

absolutely beautiful!!! thanks for sharing. hope you have a great day.

Love you so much ❤ Your videos just make me happy and give me peace ❤😂

We love the Pro Cut sunflowers. I’m excited to see yours in bloom.

55 degrees this morning here in Missouri. Your garden is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with me.

So, so beautiful! I believe we are in the same general area, and it gives me hope for what I can create. Thank you for that!

I think your driveway garden is beautiful. Your color palette is so vibrant. I’m envious of your pristine iris leaves, I’m battling slugs and snails on mine. You forgot your coffee on your pj and roller garden stroll, gotta stay caffeinated!

Thanks so much for sharing your garden, your work is so inspirational! My dog Nyx was a little disappointed grace could not join, 😂 she loves playing with grace on the tv.

Maybe it's an immortality iris? Mine has a beautiful smell and it's an extra tall variety.

Your garden exemplifies the benefits of using swaths of same colors and/or plants. So restful. That touch of orange geum among the purple hues is breathtaking. I have just one 'Tempo Rose' geum, but plan to get a couple more to go around my Chinese viburnum (which is only a year in the ground so I can't speak to aphids, but its just at that chartreuse color stage I love). Surprise tulips. I had some make an appearance after many years absence. I might have planted them 15 years ago and they eventually stopped appearing. Maybe they needed a break. If that's true (I hope so) then in about ten years I'll be rewarded with an explosion of color. This year, the strip I thickly planted "shoulder to shoulder" about 3 years ago only produced about 4 blooms. Meanwhile, the white daffodils just keep naturalizing into thick patches and I love them. Last night, I picked up a 'Charles Joly' lilac that I'll plant today (it's treasured for its pleasantly strong fragrance) and maybe a BR rose. I prefer lilac scent over bloom vase life. 👃🏼 Smmh! 👃🏼

Lovely as usual! I get so much inspiration from your videos. Happy Mother's Day!
