[@rosariopaiz6158]

Thank you for such beautiful moments that you bring to me every time I watched, heard your sweet voice with so much kindness.

[@thetartantopiary]

You are so welcome and I appreciate your kind comment!

❤ this magazine, now I have to get this book, I especially enjoyed the end of the video, it's always special when you add your own home and garden, all the flowers you added are inspiring, have a great afternoon 🌹🌱🙏

[@thetartantopiary]

I'm so glad you enjoy it. I always feel like my contribution (usually at the end of the book review) is so trivial compared to the book. I appreciate your encouragement.

[@jenh9361]

​The Tartan Topiary NOT AT ALL!!! You have an excellent eye for elegant and beautiful things...There are many times I personally enjoy your tours more than the books... Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@jenh9361]

​​But, don't get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoy your book reviews as well! I had quite a collection of lovely interior design books prior to your beginning your reviews... I've since enjoyed reviewing those, and adding new ones to my collection compliments to you... Many Thanks

Loving the two-times a week videos! I checked in after posting 12 minutes. This one will have to have a second or maybe 3rd look. It is so colorful and beautiful. I will probably buy this book just from your review. Your own yard/plants are lovely and I always enjoy your segment you add. Thank you Nina ~ 😍

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you for the kind words! 💗

[@karenreiter533]

Mary, thank you so much for this inspiring book and the tour of your beautiful garden with such excellent tips. I’m very excited also about Susanna Salk’s book on Friday. I’m so looking forward to it. 💕💕💕

[@melaniemorris7757]

Your home is so lovely. The vertical garden with the pink flowers was just stunning! Thanks for sharing!

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you so much! I have had a lot of fun with the vertical garden.

Alluring landscapes indeed! Thank you Mary, I just finished watching yiur video on my lunch break and was transported to alluring gardens and your beautiful garden....yout videos are so calming to me and they inspire me to create or visit new places. Thank you for helping me through a tough day. Have a fabulous day!💐

[@thetartantopiary]

Ahh- that makes me happy. You’re almost there! Tomorrow is Thursday, or as my son calls it, “Friday Jr.” I’ll be back on Friday with Susanna Salk and a fun trip to a vintage shop. Hope to see you then.

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Beautiful gardens 😊❤My favorite is the pink flowers that look like a waterfall, so beautiful ❤❤😊

[@bwiseok]

What a glorious book. I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY that takes up the whole page. And any book that starts off with a pink page is the book for me

[@thetartantopiary]

You are so sweet! I can tell you are binge watching and I appreciate it, as I do your comments also!

[@bwiseok]

@@thetartantopiary today yes. Bingeing! I was just thinking how I’ve not been off this couch all day. Storms moved through very early like 4 am. I started looking through more of your posts from earlier this year. Can’t wait to see the rest.

[@maryschlotter108]

Lovely as always Mary. An inspirational book, I’m looking forward to reading it. Your wall garden is just beautiful!

[@alisadotson8403]

I already had over 200 interior design book before I found your channel. Now I am gleefully on my way to needing yet another bookcase for more interior design books.

[@annaa.7554]

I like your videos that highlight outdoor spaces just as much as the interior. Yes, Dipladenias are fantastic! I love to garden and spent two hours outside this morning, Pruning is so therapeutic.

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you! 💐

[@gwenewing6837]

I love your reviews! You have such a lovely voice and it's relaxing to watch and listen. I love the personal touch you add at the end❤ I love Susanna Salk!!

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you so much.

[@suzieq2493]

Your outdoor space is lovely. Thank you for sharing

[@thetartantopiary]

Thanks for watching!

[@dulcerush735]

The perfect book to kick off the summer season. Beautiful yard, I would say that you have a green thumb. All your plants seem to be thriving. Can’t wait to see the next video.😊 Thank you

[@moniquemckenna6795]

WOW!! The book was amazing and may have to add it to my collection of Veranda books. Your garden ideas are very inspiring. I live in Zone 4a or 4b in Alberta Canada. We tend to grow many plants as do our southern neighbours albeit our growing season (window) is very small but we can grow gardens full of wonderful plantings. I do love the dipladenia I usually grow white in my black obelisks in Black pots. They truly do never let me down. Thank you,as always, for opening us up to these books of which you have a gift for introducing and filming with such a lovely narrative ❤

[@thetartantopiary]

I appreciate your kind words and I love the idea of white Dipladenia with black obelisks and pots. I bet that is striking.

[@annclark8573]

You have a beautiful place. I know you enjoy being there and tending all areas.

[@lyneung5081]

Thank you so much, this one is my favourite. I love all .the books. Have a great time.❤

Lovely garden ♥️

[@grandaflora4191]

You have a beautiful home and garden.🌸🌺🌼

[@viccifranklin3165]

I have discovered the Mandevil plant for a summer climber. It’s an indoor plant in England but I have found in Essex and Suffolk where I live you can plant it outside from May until November but even if you bring it in for Winter it can’t be saved. Thank you for your channel I now have a few coffee table books from your suggestions, much to my husband’s bewilderment 🤭🙄
