Beautiful episode ❣️👏🏻👏🏻🌷

[@katherineleavitt7275]

Such beautiful flowers, I know it must have been amazing to see how large the azaleas were. Just a fantastic vision to behold. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

[@soniagallaher3544]

Wow, those azaleas are amazing. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Brings back fantastic memories of my trip there last summer, but it was much hotter then and we stopped off at the cafe as well for drinks and ice creams. Cheri is definitely enjoying time with Grandma as well.

[@jdee2482]

Thank you for taking us on the garden tour. So beautiful.

[@Nadia-co1gk]

The gardens are gorgeous, Thank you for taking us along.

[@jenniferbakos6913]

Oh! This walk you were on! Those Cala Lilly were my favourite

[@melaniewest3947]

Beautiful gardens

[@sarahjines7791]

Wish I was there, I just know your Mom and I could get into so much! 😂

[@barbaragardner1475]

I think it would be better to get a stone statue turtle than trying to keep a live turtle

[@lindastone679]

I love seeing your mum and I think he walking has got better whilst being with you :) she is loving her stay with you XX

[@westpacificmarketanalytics2384]

No turtle carry lots of disease! Thank you for your time in all your videos, so nice to be at Lake Como with you and Sergie!

[@Kerrie-AnneBruce]

Wow, so beautiful 😍 ❤

[@susanmetzelar549]

Have you ever thought of working in a location like that, Chautaux, you visited? It would be fun for someone like you who loves beautiful places and gardens

[@karenbrindley7170]

Alla, a rose you might enjoy is called Cinco de Mayo. Beautiful color and blooms all summer

[@RobertEdward-y7b]

Azaleas have flowers before leaves

[@harmlessgrey]

Those turtles are amazing! So big and they let you get so close.

📈 Rising temperatures and good weather on the weekend ! 🐝--~~~bu💤 bu💤 buzy --~

[@earthmama8384]

I would pass on turtles as they are smelly, carry several diseases that affect humans, and they would have a field day munching on plants in your garden. How about a lily and a mini solar fountain for your pond instead?

[@RolandComerSee]

very nice video 😃

[@maryannknox7158]

My Azaleas 🌺 are getting ready to bloom soon outside My bedroom window

[@sergio.i]

6:09 LOL

[@CarolPaget-y4m]

Don't get a turtle they make the water smell terrible I know as my partner has one 29years old

[@wyldchild346]

Turtles Burrow say goodbye to your Garden. They eat and nibble as they go......

[@Hope-fv3kf]

Flowers such as daffodil, azalea, bird of paradise, shasta daisy, rhododendron, lily of the valley, lily of the nile, and buttercups are also severely toxic to box turtles. Tomatoes plants also are bad for them. They make a mess. Our park has so many of them and the city empties the ponds for cleanning the bottom.

[@MarilynStockard]

Turtles carry Salmonella bacteria.

[@annettesharrock1236]

What a beautiful garden Alla so pretty. My azaleas do not look like that. Thank you for sharing Alla ❤xx

[@lydiagonzalez3159]

Oh I am enjoying your mom's visit so much!!! I don't have my mom any longer, so I truly appreciate you two being together!! Appreciate her!!

[@charmees6637]

Glorious gardens of azazlea so so pretty. I loved the garden walk it was spectacular thank you. Now your going to be overstimulated hahaha 😊

[@therefoundry3270]

Oh, I am so glad you took us along to see the azaleas! Villa Carlotta is GORGEOUS!!!!

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

Thank you earlier for taking so long. This was exquisite the way you respond and react when you see beautiful flowers and shrubs is exactly how I respond. I just saw myself and you all over again. It’s like being in heaven isn’t it? Azaleas are beautiful. it is the Rhododendrum season here too in Vancouver and we go to Stanley Park to walk through the Rhododendrum garden exquisite. You can actually walk through the flowers are hanging from above you below you everywhere you walk all colours of the rainbows magnificent such beauty all around us. It makes me happy to see that you really love nature and appreciated’s beauty. I got a chuckle when I saw your mom touching the tree, and you said, “tree therapy”. 😊 I do the same thing. I live in a city surrounded by water and mountains and vegetation everywhere and flowers everywhere there is not one street that is not filled with flowers on the ground and on the trees, and on the shrubs. April and May is a magnificent time to go out and be with nature it’s one of the best times to visit Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We don’t get a lot of sun, but when we do, it’s heavenly it’s a temperate climate, slightly warmer than England and slightly less rain, but we do get a lot of rain. I’m glad your mom is enjoying herself and you all are accomplished a lot as a team. But I do say the best part of this beautiful video was the ending sequence of your sweet dog with her head on the table sitting on your mom‘s lap and her eyes closing so relaxed and peaceful. It’s nice to capture and have as a memory. Lots of love enjoy each other.💝💐🥂🍾😄

[@DianneFranklin-nn5re]

So nice to see you and your mother out together enjoying all the beautiful gardens.

[@cynthialuna5786]

Thank you, this was a gorgeous trip.. I'm so happy to see you both having fun.❤❤❤ What a beautiful way to end your day at your garden. And remember, your garden is as beautiful as the big ones, but in a small size. Actually it's more romantic. ❤❤❤

[@louiseemerson331]

Cherie cracks me up! Such a good girl; not even trying to eat the food!

[@vanessaschofield7927]

thankyou so much for this lovely lovely video. we have been to lake como several times and have heard of the beauty of the azeleas but never seen them. They are so colourful i am so taken back by how glorious they are. Heaven on earth.

[@onthebay66]

Turtles need space & should not be confined to a small space, even that one shown has too many in such a small area. Too easy for disease to occur. Please rethink before confining a wild species. Lovely tour, thank you.

[@Susan-iy5fv]

That little Cherie resting her chin on the table . . . she is gorgeous.

[@sandyfry9306]

So much beauty! Thank u for sharing🙂

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Your Mother is a beautiful women.

[@leighlaaltilio6672]

So lovely! My azalea is in full bloom and seeing this was a treat! Thanks to Alla and her Mom!💗💗

[@newday5]

Beautiful

[@jonimarchese7655]

Ciao Alla, Sergi and Mom. What an amazing day on the Lake today, you couldn't have asked for better weather. I love mom "Bellissima, Bellissima" I would love to see her garden back home. It must be as pretty as yours. What a great hobby to share. Amore da N.Y.

[@grammasgardenofideas5081]

ive known people having a turtle as a pet wandering freely in the house for decades. so ya it could free range in your garden but get 2 so they have a friend

[@sergio.i]

Yes! I love this idea! We need 2 turtles!

[@katherinespencer2633]

Oh my goodness, what beautiful gardens !

[@cmp7777CeliaP]

What a treat, fine weather, your Mum & Villa Carlotta gardens. The Azaleas are magnificent, such an inspiration for you. I wonder whats in bloom end of September? The roses you bought are gorgeous too🌸🌺🥀🪻🌷🌼

[@Rocklyn277]

Beautiful, Sheri just loves her Nana. Best wishes from Australia x

[@petrakinkel3521]

What a beautiful garden and so big!!! That makes me happy too 🥰

[@martyashley3601]

😊😊beautiful Thank you 😊

[@grammasgardenofideas5081]

turtles make great pets but i think your pondsare not deep enough to survive the cold maybe. also if u get one it will be lonely for decades.

[@sergio.i]

During the winter time she can survive in a jacuzzi with a glass of prosecco... 🍸

[@katewestcottvt]

That sort of bad smell in the turtle pond is caused by a lot of bacteria...they are known to carry Salmonella, especially if confined in too small spaces...😢

[@maryannknox7158]

Turtles 🐢 hibernate and not necessarily in water

[@swede716]

What beautiful flowers❣️ Cherie was so good being so close to food, she even fell asleep 🥰🐶

[@robloxgoofs1916]

Such a pretty house and garden

[@maryannknox7158]

Gorgeous gardens just exquisite!

[@maryannspicher]

I’ve never seen azaleas so big! 😮 Mine are the size of large beach balls, nothing like those! Love it!

[@amandahugo1421]

Oh that Villa Carlotta garden is spectacular.Ill watch it again and again.

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

So many stunning gardens to explore! Lovely to have your Om with you. She certainly seems to be enjoying herself and is ready to help wherever she is needed. ❤

[@kettyllaque4971]

Gorgeous gardens ❤

[@jackmullins2145]

Your mom and smlovely

[@johnalonzi8353]

Lovely ❤❤❤Kate

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

What a stunning garden. The amount of work involved must be huge! Ahz-A-lea the middle "a" is an "a" like in able.

[@gitteawwal5447]

The turtle for wandering in the garden is a different type. You can get som small ones for the water basin ❤

[@bryanneatwood4261]

Love the turtle commentary;) 🐢 You and your mom are adorable ♥️

[@marthaizaguirre6363]

Grazie per la bellissima passeggiata! 🥰🥰🥰

[@brensearsjohnston4411]

Hi from Oklahoma, USA! Thanks for taking us to Villa Carlotta again! I visited there 22 years ago in October so it’s lovely to see the azaleas blooming in the Spring. That really is a stunning garden and beautiful house too! I’ve enjoyed your adventures with your mom. As someone else mentioned, my mom passed many years ago, so it’s wonderful to “share” adventures with you. The roses you bought are going to be lovely!

[@bonniehollingsworth1996]

Turtles are hard to train 😂! You can tell them “NO” all day to not eat your flowers, and they just look 👀 up at you and munch away. There is a good reason why Villa Carlotta keeps their turtles enclosed. Maybe it would be easier to train a bumblebee 🐝. At least it would be good for your garden! 🤣 We know you are good at training animals because Sweet Cherie can put her sleepy nose right next to lovely charcuterie and not take one small bite! 😎 Send love ❤️ to your mama.

[@jerrielindsey5939]

Azaleas bloom so much better when they aren‘t sculpted like box woods

[@Jane-3229]

What a lovely and very special day you had with your mum. Big love to you both xx Please no turtles!!

[@Heritagebrowser-JethroMortier]

do not take a turtle.... they eat all the plants and are enemies of the fish if you would have these too.
