The return of Dan the gardener. 

The memorial stone at the start of the video reads: In this place from 1940 to 1945 families and hundreds of Jewish children were taken in and hidden. In recognition of the people of Creuse who helped them and saved them in the struggle for the liberation of France and against racism and antisemitism. It was commissioned by the Children’s Aid Society for the site at Chateau de Chaumont.

Dear Dan, Im sure for many of us watching....it doesnt matter what you are doing...WE WANT TO WATCH 🥰 Hugs💞

I was holding my breath, watching that precarious conga line of trolleys, on their little wheels. I'm glad they defied the odds.

Ahhh…. Dan the Gardner! Would love a vlog using your old opening intro of you driving the green van with the broken side mirror humming along to “Suddenly… 🎶

Shout out to Davey for having the good planning and vision to get all these plants for the Chateau. Well done Davey!

And the doggies just enjoy the up and down the driveway. So energetic and curious.

Some of us like Dan the gardener as much as Dan the builder. Can’t wait til you tackle the pool.

Love that you’re taking the landscape so seriously. Good thinking ahead !

I took a look at my garden today, and also have about 2,000 new plants. Unfortunately, they mostly seem to be weeds....❤

Some of us are interested in the plants. Watching Nick manage the trees and landscaping is a favourite part of this for me.

Plants will enhance the chateau. Dan's planting in winter for shrubs and spring for flowers shows he has PLANNED expertly.

Dan the builder.Dan the gardener. Dan the chef. He can do it all . God bless

I love seeing Kat! She’s a hard worker like Dan.

Ah, yes how could ever forget Dan the gardener 😊. Glad you have your own Chateau now

whomever that truck driver was delivering for that company would be getting a call and it would not be nice either..

Massive Kat power! Great to see her back with back breaking work! So much appreciation!

Kat will always be one of my favorites from Chateaux Diaries

Yes, "Dan the gardener" with his cheeky original smile was great fun and it has been a journey, a pleasure and an honour watching "Dan the Gardner" become "Dan the Chateau owner" and Jack of all trades ! Learning as you move forward, automating processes and achieving what many thought was unachievable. After what felt forever on the roof, we are getting back into the garden just in time for spring !!!

Thanks for being back Dan the Garden for a surprise appearance 😂😂😂😂nice work Kat always loverly to see you 🌹💐🌹 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

Those of us who have 'known' you before you were a vlogger or owned a chateau, think of you as 'Dan the Gardner' still. It feels like we are the 'old friends' vs all your new subscribers, who are the 'new friends'. Good to see a glimpse of Kat too.

I can tell that your 🌳 garden and landscaping is going to be picture perfect...each day of your life is an adventure for me...thank you for taking me along 😊

Absolutely blew my mind when you got all three trolleys in one trip 😳

Once these get planted it would be great to see a drone shot or balcony view of the new plants. Fingers crossed no more snow or hail.

Well that's some MacGyver moves getting the plants off the road.

A lovely garden will be such an important part of the chateau.

Kept waiting on "what could possibly go wrong"! The three big cart tied together was epic Dan stuff!

Love seeing you and the beautiful Cat working together. Super team effort. Loads of love K🇬🇧❤️

Love Dan the gardener and Dan the builder equally, the progress you've made is outstanding!!😊❤

It will be a beautiful, fabulous thing when not only the home is restored, but the landscaping has been done simultaneously.

Great seeing Kat! So excited for gardening content. Thanks, Davey, for your good advice, I have every confidence the garden will have many, many beautiful plants. Well done Dan.

I love that you are doing the garden at the same time, it means everything will establish and look like it’s been there forever by the time the renovations finished. I’ve been watching Dan the gardener right from the start at Stephanie’s. 😁

Nostalgic seeing "Dan the Gardener"! The four wheeler shenanigans make me feel good about some of the janky ways I have also towed things, always an inspiration! Love seeing the work!

I do miss "good ol' Dan the Gardener". Ah...those were the days. But Dan, what you are doing and have achieved is such a marvel!

I think I remember at one point Philip from "How to Renovate a Chateau" had mentioned that he regretted not starting on their gardens from the beginning, so to me it makes sense that the garden work would take place now alongside the work being done on the building. I love the gardening content!

Such a nostalgic vlog today. Yes, I do miss Dan the Gardener but look forward to your continuing development of becoming a Renaissance man! What a life you live. I can’t wait to see what Davey has designed. The hellebores and rhododendrons will be beautiful.

Dan you have been a friend, a lover, a husband, a father, a Gardner, a cook, a dreamer, a builder! A man of many things. I’m sure we all don’t care what we watch you do, we just want you to win at whatever you do!

As much as i love Dan the builder, it nice to see a bit of Dan the gardener, nice to know Davie is in the background giving advice, always good seeing Kat.😌❤️🙏🕺💃

Every grand house needs a grand garden. Cant wait.

It is very sensible to work on the landscaping right from the start. It takes years to mature. By the time the chateau is getting towards finished, the garden and grounds will be appropriate.

You can't go wrong with Davey. He is the best!

The weather is sketchy there! That Lori driver should get a new job! Thank God for Cat’s help! Hope the forecast is better tomorrow! It’s gonna be beautiful!

😂😂😂 Your dog look like he was questioning your decision about the plant train.😅 Too funny. 🤣

Thanks, Dan. The job you have taken on is far bigger and tougher than any I've seen. That's great, but you do it with such patience and humor! Maybe that's why people really like being around you and watching what you do with such interests. Thank you, Dan. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

Love seeing Kat helping out!

Sure did! He is such a nice person. Amazing skills! He has admirers all around the world! Including me!

And when you’re finally in your chateau and it’s fully working it will be lovely to see Dan the chef !

Thrilling to see your park being looked after as much as the chateau!

Brought a tear to my eye after watching the old Dan the garden how it all started at your Old Bakery too, life has to move on but I do miss your little family of 3 still. Good luck with planting them out.

For those that are new to Kat …… She is Witty - funny - sharp - bright - a team player …… if you pull up the Covid season of “ The Chateau Diarie “ …… you can see why we love Dan & Kat …… and have been following Dans journey since he started RU-vid videos ……. ❤

Your one of a few that know the benefits of having a really good established garden by the time your project is completed it will look amazing it really looks great now.

We do miss Dan the gardener, but missed more is your and Stephanie’s interactions. They were so funny and loving like sister and brother. Miss that. You are doing such an incredible job with the château and the grounds. Be safe and thank you for another wonderful video ❤️

Wow. The difference in the video quality between now and the archived footage from Lalande is amazing!

I remember when you were Dan the Gardener brought back lots of memories. The Chateau is going to be beautiful. Go Dan go be Dan the Gardener. Hell Kat good to see you again.

Dan will always make a plan, and I think he is also planning a planting party 😊🎉

I love that both mature landscape plans were based on Davey's landscape design! And so there really is no competition between the prospective chatelaines, but Davey's expanding influence on the regional chateaux map for future chatelaines to rediscover.

I love all the plants, trees etc.. looking great! What an awesome job you’re doing!! It’s a joy to watch all your videos! 🇨🇦👏👏👏🌷🇨🇦

This is going to be so beautiful that's a lot of plants Dan the gardener 😮❤😊

Yes, it is great to see a bit of Dan the Gardener. I love gardening so it is great to see the changes ypu have made along with the incredible work on the Chateau.

Dan, what a guy you are! you used to work in front of someone else's castle and in someone else's garden on a large estate, and now you own your own place with a castle and a garden. What progress!!!! Way to go!!!

The gardens will look amazing 👏 🇬🇧

I love Dan the gardener!❤❤❤❤

Yes, Dan we miss that lad! But I hear he comes back from time to time!Love this vlog.

I enjoy Dan the gardener almost as much as I enjoy Dan when he's installing NOGGINS. 😂 Love your posts - progress is great!

The rhododendrons down the drive will look beautiful and smell divine

I enjoy the whole project…gardens and construction! Sure hope we all can stay along for the whole ride. Your ambition is amazing.

Hopefully you get to keep those shelves!!!! Be great for basement storage

Oh yes Dan the gardener and I miss the green van. Aww memories. Xx

I definitely miss Dan the gardener and I miss the Dan Amory bantery ❤❤

U are a man of many talents. An everything u do comes in handy

I love to watching the plantings, especially the live streams.

Dan: gardener, dad, Chateau owner and renovator, carpenter, yurt owner, and good friend to both awesome men and beast to name but a few.

I think they’ll be plenty of volunteers tomorrow, who wouldn’t want to help a lovely chap like Dan, and rhododendrons sound lush for lining the drive 😊

I'm delighted by all Chateau related topics including earth works, forest management, landscape architecture, and of course the restoration of the chateau from encaustic floor tile to roof pitch. Cheers, Dan!

Nice trick with the pallet jack. They say necessity is the mother of invention!

You show us that anything is possible. 🌷🌱🌲🌻😁 God Bless you an anything you do.

Definitely miss Dan the Gardener. However, I love watching you bring this chateau back to life.

Dan & Kat!!!❤Good job guys!!!👏👏👏

Hi Dan The chateau looked so nice from a distance Once you finish the garden in the front It will be amazing❤🐶❤️🐶

Nice add on of your old life Dan. Charming Happy planting time

It’s nice to be in the garden in Spring, good for your soul and a little break from the noggins. The chateau will be beautiful with all the plantings and with Davy’s design you can’t go wrong. It is nice to see Dan the gardener !

That opening shot was GORGEOUS!!!!!!

You're a hero & a legend Dan, you and your family deserve the amazing life ahead of you at the chateau

Love to watch the updates . Any progress is progress! Dan the Gardner is now Dan the château master!

I do miss Dan the gardener. It was nice to see Kat.

Loving watching all facets of this renovation and the grounds will be magical. ❤

So exciting to refurbish the gardens!!! That adds so much to the overall aesthetic!!! 🥰🎶❤️❤️❤️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🐑

Cat's hair is turning white rather quickly from your antics, Dan 😆

A wonderful blast from the past. While it's a lot of work now, it will look great as the Chateau reconstruction progresses. 👏👏👏

I think planting a proper garden is as important to the restoration of this chateau as every nail, screw, board, beam, and nogging you put into the building. It all matters. You all are doing a fantastic job!! I'm sending miss Kat a hug and a high five for working the equipment like a boss, a Lady Boss. Love ya, Kat!! ✋👏👍💪😘💖💕

Happy planting day Dan and friends 😊

Great to see Dan the gardener back, even if only for a short spell❤

I can’t get over how far y’all have come since I first started watching your channel! It’s amazing !

You and Kat, two hardworking down to earth people!❤️

Loved seeing "Dan The Gardener" again! After all, that's how it all started! You are very cleaver doing the planting at the same time as the "renovation". I so enjoy your Vlogs - and love seeing you, Kat and your doggins.

Aaaw, that brings back so many memories from all the old videos! Can't believe you've been a part of our lives for such a long time.

Absolutely part of the renovation… totally agree… it’ll be spectacular Dan… Dave’s planning at Stephs place is coming to fruition… gorgeous… gorgeous plants Dan ❤

Nice to see two thousand plants going in Dan, hope you have made some room for veggies can’t beet home grown vegetables, things are looking realy good.

Many lovely plants!!! Many thanks for Davy!!! Yes, Dan was/is a great Gardener!!! This is where I first learned about you. All the best Dan. You are going to need a digger at your place to!!! All the best.

You are amazing. I've been watching you from the old days. Great to see Cat too. From Christchurch, New Zealand. ❤

It's just April... the old fashioned season 😂 Well done amazing guys!
