2023 Garden Year in Review (January- December, 2023)

[@Garden-ogrodowo]

There are no words to describe my admiration for the beauty of this park and garden. A garden like a dream. Wonderful shots. Space, as if a person was floating in the air and transported from a beautiful place to an even more wonderful place. Just like in a fairy tale. There are no words looking at this beauty...❤💗💗💗❤ Viewing this garden is a real treat. Thank you for inviting me to walk all year round

It’s like reading a poem! Thank you so much for the beautiful words describe my garden! ❤

Hi there, welcome to my garden❤️ so nice to have you here, thank you!

[@bbuchanan5235]

Oh my thank you thank you for sharing your garden with us! What a joy! I just stumbled across this video and I am simply captivated! Oh! So much fun! OK - what I enjoyed: your photography is wonderful; slow, sensitive, lingering on vistas or plants so that we might see what you see. I enjoyed your variety of plants! You definitely have acidic soil -ha the blue hydrangea gave it away. Also your row of Kalmias, the gorgeous rhodies and azaleas - so lovely! I am in high desert rocky alkaline soil so I can only dream of such plants! Loved your kousa dogwood in bloom! I noticed no tulips - the bunnies would probably get those! It is wonderful to view a mature garden. You must have spent years developing it! It was so great to watch the seasons move through! Sigh. I do have a question, if you see this comment. The music for December - is it a hymn? I don’t recognize it but it is charming. Very sweet. Perfect for video. Thank you again for letting us see God’s creations at your house.

[@gardenofpraise567]

The music for December is “Sweeter the bells never sound”, a German Christmas carol by Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger, a poet and hymn writer from 1860, you must fell in love with it like I did! I haven’t find the English translation yet, but I may ask a German friend to help since you mentioned it! Although I just started about 8years ago, but this garden is about 40years old, you can tell by all the ornamental trees and spring shrubs, I can only say that I am very very very blessed! There is not a chance I can plant any tulips not only because the rabbits, deers is my major headache. They wipe out all my hostas every summer, and winter time, they even damage my rhododendrons and azaleas! Well, I just have to learn to accept and respect nature. I was born and raised in a semitropical environment in southern China, but after decades, this garden truly spoke to me, this is where I belong. Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, you made my day! God bless! ❤️🙏😊

Your garden has the most diversity of plants and trees I’ve seen on KZbin. The flow and addition of tasteful statuary and hard elements really compliment your spaces. I’m planning to implement your idea for the post lights. You have the most beautiful and colorful Mountain Laurels I’ve ever seen. I could go on and on about the beauty and the health of your garden. The wildlife love it too! Thank you for bringing us into your garden with your beautiful display and music choices. Just brings so much Peace.

[@gardenofpraise567]

May peace be with all of those who love nature🙏 Every single mountain Laurel ware planted by the previous owner, which I believe his spirit is still in the garden. I am very blessed to continue his legacy. The solar light posts are great, they are not only functional, add structural charm too! Thank you very much for your kind wards, God bless❤

I especially like seeing all the animals, both big and small. Seeing the garden in all seasons is wonderful. I am just north of you in the Bershires, so my zone is a tad cooler, especially without good snow coverage for protection. Happy gardening!

[@gardenofpraise567]

The black bears are very gentle, actually they are the ones keep distance from human. They only show up when it’s very quiet, that’s why we bumped to each other a lot 🙂🙂 The same, bobcats also just walked away from me. But I do take cautions when I see cubs with momma bear together, and not to leave any sweets out in the patio table for too long. They are such wonderful creatures!

I have watched your garden be transformed over the years and never tire in amazement of what all you have done to beautify what you have been blessed with, even in times of adversity in loosing major trees or those that have gotten chewed on by the bear. You continue to bless so many people with your talents and love of nature.

[@gardenofpraise567]

I feel blessed! Thank you Mary! How are you doing? I hope you have completely recovered from your last year’s surgery🙏 Although winter time is for resting from gardening, but my mind is non stop spinning prepare for spring to come, there are still many areas need to be developed 😊 plus that one pond project is still awaiting… Winter is tough time for mental health, garden reviews not only for my own, others out there help a lot. God is good, He gives us hope🙏

[@maryhomann2127]

Recovered well. Thanks for asking. Spending winter in Florida, though don’t remember it ever being this cold here. I keep telling myself, that it’s better than being in Illinois! Lots of time indoors looking at gardening, inspirations on KZbin and other channels. Your dedication to your channel helps me pass the days with gladness.

[@maryhomann2127]

Oh no! I know it takes a long time to get passport processed but maybe there was a reason to stay in the states for now. While you wait, enjoy the R&R as you contemplate the plans for your new pond and your plans for the spring. Oh, how I wish I lived closer so I could be able to walk through your garden and experience your walk a-bouts in person. It would be heavenly!

Hi there, I am so sorry I’ve missed your comment! My home has 2 acres of land, although I have been taking care of this garden for the past 8 years, most of mature ornamental trees and spring shrubs ware planted in the mid 80’s by the previous owner. Gardening is my passion, therefore I never feel it’s hard work, instead, I am greatly rewarded both physically and spiritually. Since I am the only one taking care of this garden, with some help from my husband, I also have to cook and clean, taking photos to make garden movies, I found myself with lots of defects in many ways… but in the end of day, I have no complaints, and every morning when I wake up, there is always some new creations waiting for me, how exciting! Please do ask me any questions, I’ll try my best to answer, thank you my garden friend!❤

[@tsahaisantiago1493]

Loving the recap ❤🤎 and as always I noticed things differently. Are ur gardens walled by the bricks/stones because of water collection in those areas? And do u have a total of 2 ponds? I only ask cause with all the rains we’ve been having on the East Coast it seems like I’m building and rebuilding the same gardens because of washouts. I can see the channels of the water flow but now watching ur layout I’m thinking I’ll need to gather stones which our yard have plenty of and construct walls like u have. I’m sure I’ll send another question but plz know that it’s because I love your garden and aspire to have one looking like that one day. This is only season 2 for me so I have a long way to go. Thanks 🙏🏽 again for sharing. Ur garden puts me into the words of the song “In The Garden” it says~~I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses and the voice I hear falling on my ears the Son of God discloses and He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own and the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known (something like that) May God continue to bless you and your land as you tend to your piece of Eden 😊🥰🤎🤎

[@gardenofpraise567]

Oh yes, I love that hymn too!❤ It’s hard to imagine my life without this garden, indeed God’s blessings! I’ve always wanted an after feature, so the first one was a mini pond, immediately added one more, then another one more! They were all dug out my own hands. More stones laying around in my land awaiting for my creations, don’t I wish I am young and strong hahah😂 Thank you for writing me such nice comment, have a happy new year🎉

[@gardenofpraise567]

Hi my garden friend! Thank you for your sweet comment! I am in New England, north west of Connecticut. The most headachy I have is the deer, they eat lots of my plants. There is no worries about the bear, they are very gentle, just lingering around here and there on nice and quiet days. We often bumped to each other, they seem to know me and consider as their friend. Today was beautiful, I’ve created another flower bed for hydrangea! Hope to see you again soon😊

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

@@gardenofpraise567 That sounds so purrrfect, we are in Indiana no bears but lots of deer. I giggled a bit when I watched as one of the bears leaned in to smell the foliage on the tree/bush and then let it scratch its back. It is so nice they recognize and accept you. I just ordered 8 hydrangeas a few moments ago, they will be foundation cover across the front porch. The wife has been wanting for awhile I finally got around to it. I just love spring and I have lots of dirt under my nails every day -lol.

Nature sounds can be disturbed by modernization, for I live in a suburb of a big city, besides traffic noises from a public road nearby, I also have to deal with neighbors mowing and blowing sounds, sometimes even in the mornings and evenings when I love to take a walk in my garden. Very soon, there will be condos being build right at my backyard. In the end of day, I can only say: I tried, I am safe, and I am grateful with my garden on earth🙏 Thank you for visiting, spring is here soon, let’s hope for the best!
