An Awe-Inspiring WALLED GARDEN Transformation Walkthrough.

[@KayAras-og4hv]

It makes such a difference when somebody is in love with the work they do ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Very true 🥰

[@lyndajohnston924]

The gardens really elevate the chateau and vise versa. Year 3 will be the charm - sleep, creep, LEAP.

[@olligo330]

Lovely tour. If you haven't done so already, consider making copies of your blueprints and handwrite in your current plantings (common, botanical names). As the years go by, you'll edit. Then you can keep a journal for each year, with the blueprint attached. This garden is going to be a showstopper.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much Olli 🥰

[@Cecilia1902-2]

What a joy it will be to watch this garden grow and mature over the years. You've given yourselves (and us 🙂indirectly) a wonderful gift!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@cherylmcnair5594]

Lalacelle really needed Shayne. He has worked wonders 🎉🎉🎉 The garden isn't even in full bloom and it's outstanding. A Japanese garden, Wow! Yet to come.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He’s been amazing 🥰

[@debbiebrock2665]

When you see the drone shots, you can see the vast amount of labor, time, and love put into this garden. The garden completes the chateau! Your hard work is evident. Thank you for the garden tour Ash and Shane.

[@DEEDEE-cn1ud]

Beautiful garden plan and beginning. A garden is never finished but transforms as it matures and is tweaked.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@claudetteparadis3969]

You couldn’t have found anyone more knowledgeable than Shayne, a true artist.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He is!! 🥰🥰

[@karlahernandez5750]

Ash it is obvious that you love the garden. I think you have found your calling!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Karla 🥰 I do 🥰🥰🥰

[@barbarawagner1388]

Ash, I recommend you start a journal, whether paper or digital, where you can make notes of what works and what plants were problematic and why, or list plants that tried to take over the world. You can list the variety names and where you got them for if you need more. One day, that journal will be irreplaceable. Love to see an enthusiastic gardener. Your garden will definitely be a destination in the area. When its time to divide, you might be able to sell extras. (Unless they are copywriten)

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Barbara 🥰🥰

[@carladejonge4951]

Gee Ash! Your plant knowledge has really taken off! Good job! Your garden is looking amazing!❤❤ Your horticulture specialist really knows his stuff!❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@friendlhi]

your chief gardener is such an artist - so excited to see the full result in coming years ❤👍🍀🌹🌿🌻🌱🌼🌿

[@chateaudelalacelle]

🥰🥰🥰

[@maggiemaloney8599]

In spring, when you walk around and see the first green of perennials peaking through, your heart will soar like an eagle. You will also see established plants double and triple in size over the course of next summer. I can't wait to take those walks with you, Ash, and celebrate your excitement and wonder.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Wow, thank you 🥰🥰

[@theynotlikeus24]

What a delight to see the Chateau over looking a growing work of garden artistry. Absolutely beautiful. 😍❤️

[@deborahgallagher-vu5hl]

Loved seeing Paisley running through the garden. A wonderful place for to do her zoomies and kitten energy.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. She loves it! 😻

[@Minkster555]

The garden is going to be absolutely beautiful.🌹

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@KayAras-og4hv]

When these plants become establishd the garden will be beautifull ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Kay 🥰

[@rayn8740]

Gardening has been my passion for nearly 60 years, so I appreciate appreciate your attention to detail. It's going to be spectacular.

[@MarshaCoon]

It’s unbelievable how amazing the landscape looks it beautiful. I remember how awful it looked when you first bought it.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@jomcgee6094]

Shane is just amazing, love seeing his excitement and love for his plans. Japanese garden?????....YES PLEASE!!!! ❤ It is just going to be a beautiful formal garden. Thanks for the tour Ash, you were impressive 😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He is! We’re looking forward to the Japanese garden 🥰🥰🥰

[@funtannis5638]

The stone wall makes a stunning backdrop for the plants. I love the combination of formal and cottage design together. It is truly a beautiful garden.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@jenniestevens1244]

Such an interesting selection of plants, I am in Australia and a keen gardener, I recognise many of the plants you have, a nice mix of traditional and exotics. Cannot wait to see the garden in a year ❤❤❤

[@janescott4574]

Ooh, I’d love a Japanese garden!! I hope you definitely have one! That said, you’ve got quite enough on your plate for now. It’s looking amazing! Shayne is brilliant and the work you’ve all put into the garden is incredible.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Jane 🥰

[@melissalockhart8140]

I'm really looking forward to watching this garden grow.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

[@tammyrobinson8612]

His knowledge of plants is unbelievable, an encyclopedia Amazing x

[@mariarobinson-jh7dm]

Thank you Ash and Shane for taking us through the garden. There’s some really beautiful plants going in and a lot of ideas for my own garden. Love the Cadoom and Toad Lily. Can’t wait to see it next Spring and Summer. Japanese garden sounds intriguing. Sounds like you guys and gals will be busy for many years to come.

[@peterwhite9261]

Jardin de Brindley is going to be such a magical space as all of the plants grow. I am very excited and looking forward to the Japanese garden. Thanks for the walk through. The variety of plants are fabulous choices for the garden.❤

[@MelAldridge]

You could put lanterns in the hole in the wall.x

[@chateaudelalacelle]

We sometimes put candles in 🥰🥰

[@BCRaspberries]

Fabulous job Shane, the Chateau is lucky to have found you so that you can guide them through building a wonderful garden.

[@karinarodriguez37]

A Japanese Garden! 😍😍😍😍

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@timoraunela8566]

Ok…. Japanese garden by the pond. Now I am super exited ❤😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Us too! 🥰🥰

[@marthaizaguirre6363]

Really enjoy listening to Shane just rolling off the plant names with ease! Would love to know his back story, where he works in the US and his garden and landscaping training. Le Jardin Brindley has been designed with expertise and artistry!

[@daniellefarrelly5202]

Can't wait to see them in bloom next summer.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Us too! 🥰🥰

[@w.sommen5209]

Hi Yvonne. Thanks Shane for your wonderful ideas, expertise and support to make this garden as wonderful and balanced as it is.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@joycehauke6027]

Wow! Looking forward to Spring ,when all those bulbs bloom n the garden comes to life.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Us too Joyce

[@lorilarkin827]

This garden is going to be spectacular. Like Ash said “It’s just a baby, 6 months old “🥰 imagine the toddler coming along . 😄

[@paulacorreal1675]

What a delight to witness how your hard work is paying off in spades…your garden is just beautiful. Shane’s design is perfect for the Chateau. So happy to hear he’s also designed a Japanese garden and a further garden in the lower area of your current garden. Ash, you, Terry, Tracey, and all the rest who had a hand in this beautiful garden need a huge atta boy! Loving it all from PA, USA.

[@paulacorreal1675]

Oops, did misspell Shayne’s name? If so, sorry.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much Paula 🥰🥰

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Shane is a treasure of knowledge and creativity. This video was a joy to learn about the plants with the foggy falll backdrop of the stone walls and the texture of the trees. Just beautiful. You are going to have to print name tags on your laser printer. ❤

[@Unprofessionallyme63]

I have so many plants from splitting them. I have many gardens. It’s so gratifying, I love it. I love formal gardens, and very much looking forward to seeing what yours becomes.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@christinesinclair6166]

As a gardener I can appreciate all the love and hard work you have done and are continuing to do. Would love to work in your garden. (0:

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@meredithlynn]

Sitting here in goosebumps🤠if you can dream it and believe, it will come true. Your hard work and determination paid off. Cheers to y’all🍻

[@lesley-annecarle]

The walled formal garden will provide happiness to many, many people with the outstanding extreme lovely beauty, of many varieties of beautiful flowers and shrubs, which have been specially selected and planted to obtain an asbolute perfect colour vision during all seasons of the year.

[@troothseeker7312]

The knowledge & guidance from Shayne is worth it’s weight in Gold, I am sure you have a Garden Map with all of these plants listed (and care guide for them written down) I am sure I would not remember every plant in that huge space🤗 W🤩W it does L👀K AMAZING & in the years ahead will be the Garden to visit. With your little holes in the Wall maybe Light Features (Solar Panel Operated of course) can add a softer tone for an Evening Stroll in the Wall Garden🤔just a thought. Thank❤️You for bringing this Garden To Life “Many Hours & $Money Spent but totally worth every bit, your Château will be the toast of your French Town 🥳CONGRATULATIONS🥳 on your mammoth effort 🙌👏👏👏👏👏🙌🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@Anne-gs1ji]

It's looking amazing . Well done everyone for getting all those plants in the ground in a week ,that certainly wasn't a job for the faint hearted .

[@chateaudelalacelle]

[@jdrew5367]

Your garden is going to be a must see place when it gets established and next coming years and when you move onto the next part of the garden area. It’s gonna be a magnificent jewel to the château. For all sorts of venues for weddings and such. With a beautiful garden is, it’s going to be magnificent in the upcoming years. ❤ Thank you all it looks magnificent. Thank you Shane. Gorgeous job. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏻

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@ianbrooks2898]

You’re so lucky to have Shayne. Wish I had him around for advice when I’m buying at the garden centre. Knowing the names & what conditions they like is a goldmine of knowledge & invaluable to what you are doing at the chateau. Another interesting vlog expertly filmed & edited by Terry. Hopefully you’re back inside the chateau for the coming weeks. So eager to see the finished suite. You’re all absolute inspirations. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Ian 🥰🥰

[@heather1387]

Something to add to the garden would be name tags in front of the flowers telling you what they are.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Heather 🥰

[@heather1387]

@ Terry could come up with artistic type of plaque.

[@LRWdesign]

I was watching the drone shots in the beginning and I imagined walking down the stairs from the upper garden into a lush maze with a massive gazebo in the center surrounded by benches for an outdoor musical moment … ❤

[@goldenineke]

What an amazing achievement- so many contributed to creating this magical garden. I can’t wait to see it mature.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@eltesorodelaabuelabordados4264]

Espectacular el resultado. Cuando florezcan los bulbos y rosales sera una velleza total!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@charmees6637]

Wow! Breath taking . You’ve worked very hard guys to create this beautiful formal garden

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much 😊

[@AlidaLloyd]

I can’t wait until everything is in bloom it’s going to be amazing x

[@chateaudelalacelle]

It really is! 🥰🥰

[@prometheusv9477]

I'm submitting a labyrinth for thr lower garden with seating areas within. And maybe a gazebo in the center for music and victorian xmas choirs. Weddings etc.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@mccoycyndi]

I CAN NOT WAIT TIL SPRING ! Never stop KZbin cause I'm gonna keep watching this garden and the restoration clean into my old age (honestly it's not THAT far away I'm 57 now 😂) Look absolutely amazin ❤❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@avivat3010]

The garden is beautiful now, showing so much promise. By the end of next summer, it will have filled in more and be absolutely glorious. You are so fortunate to have Shane's help. Thank you for the walk-through. The plantings are exciting to see.

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

OMG, I can't wait for it all to fill out. When in France, I'd definitely make your garden a destination.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Please do! 🥰🥰

[@PatriciaDelsey]

Unbelievably beautiful ….massive undertaking and you people made it look easy

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you very much! 🥰

[@Lilypad5493]

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@donnaryan9365]

Walking the Garden with Shane was just delightful ! He’s just an amazing person with so much knowledge. But one shot of you both standing on the upper garden that beautiful Perfectly formed? Shade tree and the foggy background really caught my eye… such beauty beholds your Home and property. Unbelievable changes as some days watching a new video takes me to to your previous videos of tha ANYTHING WAS TOUCHED

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Donna 🥰🥰

[@theodorehowe2262]

The garden is well planted and is going to look stunning in a couple years 😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@ensatlantic]

Wow, what incredible amount of work and love you have put into this. Such an amazing place. The world needs more gardens like this and less wars.

[@PhyllisLeggett-yq9vr]

Lovely. It is still stunning how far you have come. Thank you thank you.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much Phyllis 🥰🥰🥰

[@bridgetjimenez7043]

A secret rose / cutting flower garden would be beautiful and very helpful in filling the chateau with flowers.

[@monteschiavo]

perfect as always!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@diannaw3034]

At 29:23 Ash stepped on one of the plants pretty bad that he and Shane has just spoke on that should bloom quite big and beautiful.. so you may want to go check on that plant and fluff it back up .. and make sure it isn't too damaged. BTW.. this was a brilliant and informative episode. Loved hearing all of Shane's plant knowledge and to see the twinkle in his eye about all the special plants he got for the garden... and his delight about all the future plans for the front garden.. the back lower field and a possible Japanese garden!!! How exciting!!! 🤩 I can't wait to see all of these gardens come to life.. but it's going to be so fun to see them all thriving in a few years time!! It's going to be such a spectacle!!! Well done guys!!! 👏👏👏 Cheers from Ontario, Canada 😊🍁

[@cathleen8302]

Ohhh! Very EXCITED for the garden. The knowledge that Shane shares is incredible!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@JeanJones-h7t]

I enjoyed going around the garden with you both, it's looking lovely with you👌very misting today now winter is here, it's been very gray with us this week and a bite cold😕take care everyone love Jean and family🫂❤️😘😘

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much Jean 🥰

[@maryhairy1]

The part of the journey is the best. Just love how the garden is evolving.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Mary 🥰

[@williambrown355]

Ash your enthusiasm is infectious. I am looking forward to the time when you are conducting garden tours and trotting out the Latin names and telling us about the merits of different plants. Great video.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

You and me both! 🥰🥰 thanks William 🥰

[@melissabarden8826]

Can’t wait to see this garden blossom over the next year! If you have not yet given thought to how garden visitors could view an aerial shot it would be great to have a tv showing a live shot & recorded (no one walking the grounds) at check in. Love everything you are all doing! ♥️🇺🇸

[@mariannekuijpers9298]

What an incredible achievement, it is now already spectacular but even more so in spring and summer. 🌷

[@larayo]

You should have your rare plants labeled for your visitors so they know they are looking at your magnificence! It’s all beautiful!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

That's a great idea! 🥰

[@stevedavis9742]

What a beautiful job laying out this garden. It is amazing with the different types of foliage he used! Liz

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Liz 🥰🥰

[@mariagillinson8527]

Shane it’s always delightful to have you here.

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

The garden is magical. You all have accomplished so much in a seemingly short period of time.

[@jennifercampbell7698]

The garden is going to be amazing next year. Ash, it’s great to see your excitement. You’ve becoming a true gardening aficionado! I saw you roll your eyes at Terry’s request for a Japanese garden. But with another few years to do the lower garden and the Japanese garden you’ll have a great drawcard for the chateau. I can see spring garden parties and maybe nighttime musical soirées or garden tours as fundraisers or Chateau revenue. Perhaps even offering an annual garden festival retreat for local and national international guests, maybe with Shane as a guest speaker with tours of local gardens, and brocante and tourist attractions. I hope you include a gathering area in the lower garden for seating parties of visitors or a marquee for events. As the garden grows consider forming a l local gardening volunteer group. We have one where I live in a conservation area, where volunteers meet to weed, prune, mulch and plant on Friday mornings. I’m sure you would get lots of interest from locals. Love seeing the garden grow! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻🌳🌲🪻🌹🌷

[@danielgrondin3137]

This is an amazing transformation. The garden is awesome. You’ll need a full-time gardener to maintain the garden and the grounds.

[@annfinnegan2791]

So great to have this great plantsman to advise you .spring and summer these gardens are going to look beautiful.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

It really is! 🥰🥰

[@ldqa2737]

8:05 Those were used, most likely, as lighting niches for evening walks in the gardens, to shine the light to the stairs.

[@sharonridings7418]

Looks beautiful

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@sandrajebb2790]

Lovely, lovely, lovely!!! Shane is a wonder and Ash is learning so much! I am getting to the point in years that I can't garden anymore (except in pots) so I will much enjoy touring and watching this masterpiece mature. Thank you so very much!

[@ellenmadsen7308]

Geraniums are thugs. I am sooo excited about seeing everything explode into bloom this spring.

[@kimberlyllamas5804]

AND tulips of all colors

[@elizabethskolnick7753]

Hurrah!! for the plant/garden tour. Crazy running cat was even more entertaining!

[@alwaysaheart1645]

What a transformation, you jave worked your socks off. What an amazing band of helpers, volunteers you have too xx

[@jromain612]

I can’t wait to see it all blooming next year. It is going to be spectacular!

[@kireland8]

I love what you are doing, particularly in the garden. It is classical but with a very modern twist. I heard you say something about two more gardens. I say go for it. Make the Chateaux a go-to for garden lovers.

[@tonyawilliams9433]

I know you hear this a lot...but wow, wow, wow the transformation of the grounds have been awe inspiring! I'm so proud of the job you all have done..and so few of you to accomplish so very much! I can't praise you all nearly enough... Not to mention the fabulous job that is happening inside the chateau.... Keep up the terrific work!! I haven't seen this kind of work ethic in a long time!😮😀

[@melcampbell8627]

I totally love your beautiful garden, it really is awe inspiring. Wonderful job.x

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@hmeyers5114]

When Ash was talking about being surprised by the Japanese garden, I was laughing remembering the time Ash and Terry were at a brocante and Terry picked up a light (I think) he just had to have. Ash said, "Where are you going to put that?" And Terry replied smugly, "I have a chateau." 😄 Poor Ashley will be balancing books forever! The garden reminds me of my favorite garden in England, Hidcote. When they have to split up plants they sell them to the public. I know, I know, you guys don't have time right now, but it might make a good income project for Jonathan during summer break. You "have a chateau" so you definitely have space to pot and store plants to sell in the spring and summer. They will need to be split faster than you can imagine! Or, you can split the plants, pot them, and make a little nursery so you have plenty to use in other places around the property. I hope you kept those plant pots!!!🌳🌳🌾🌾🌿🌿🌱🌱🪴🪴🌲🌲🪻

[@samporter2146]

New Zealand plants !!❤ Its gorgeous. Unbelievably excited for the Japanese garden !!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Me too!! 🥰

[@tinamcdonough9910]

What a garden you have now. You can kick back and watch it all grow and develop, then, we can enjoy your hard work thats coming with all the pruning and shaping you will be doing. Great job so far Peeps. Roll on Spring. X

[@joyabell4420]

How exciting to be planting a garden like this, when it is established it will look wonderful. On the geraniums, I find that the slugs and snails love living under the stalks, I do a clear out in spring to keep them down.

[@ChrisTaylor-z6i]

Everything is so beautiful..can't wait til the springtime..fyi..the Ajuga is fast growing..careful of the lawn it can shoot off into it quickly..lovely foilage tho with spring purple flowers..one of my favorite plants

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Chris 🥰

[@johnwollschlager9827]

Well done, fellows.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks John 🥰

[@suzannepolder3929]

Anticipating the garden in the spring is giving me goosebumps!!

[@barneygoddard6421]

Having lived on both West Coast and East Coast of USA and a devoted gardener, I loved this vedieo. What a magnificent job by everyone.
