Before and After Transformation of Moxie Gardens

[@EddaElid]

I didn’t realize how small your garden is until now. I originally thought your space was comparable to that of a rural/farm space. Of course comparing it to my urban lot your space is huge It’s an incredible transformation with creative planning of space, both horizontally and vertically. I personally am not a fan of perennial gardens but yours is the exception. I’ve finally realized that the reason I like it so much is because it’s well organized. It doesn’t look like someone threw a bunch of seeds in the air and let them fall wherever and said “grow”. The artwork also helps to give the eyes a rest. There’s so much harmony in your garden. Very beautiful and peaceful and easy to enjoy!

[@keelylaugh1323]

Miss your amazing gardening videos! Hope all is well with you!

[@tinaharrell6755]

I’m not sure what you do for work but you could make a killing on designing backyards. What a gift. And it’s all in your head. Wow

[@moxiegardens8033]

Thank you!

[@jadea.2694]

I am sure your neighbours are happy you bought your home, you gave them some privacy too not just yourself. Your garden and it transformation should be in a magazine or something. Your hard work is worthy of recognition.

[@moxiegardens8033]

🙏🙏🙏

[@lauraw128]

Simply breathtaking!!! Has to be the most creative before and after KZbin has ever seen. Great work!

[@evergreengarden1M]

Wow nice overview of beautiful garden Fully enjoyed

[@1955missellie]

This "before and after" really brings it all into perspective. Stunning is what comes to mind. The flow of everything in harmony is what really captures the eye!

[@betsyvanweerdhuizen5316]

What an amazing transformation! You have an incredible eye for garden design. Your garden is so interesting and utterly charming. Love it!

[@lavondacarter7228]

Your neighbors get to enjoy ,whats growing over the fence, beautiful space, you've done a lot of work !

[@blackjewel1000]

What a difference. Doesn't even look like the same house. And no one could imagine how much problem you had with the flooding without the picture. You made it work in a beautiful way. Great job. Btw, I love the music 🎶 Have a beautiful day.

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

What a great way of showing the before and afters, and I still think it is genius the way you have dealt with all that water. The aerial shots at the end were fabulous too.

[@dianneLwilliams]

Taken from someone who is dealing with half the challenges you are, you made a whole freakin lemon pie out of a lemon of a back yard with your water flow issues!!! I too thought that your yard was huge, but instead, I can see how, with great ingenuity, you made what seems to be a regular builder’s quarter acre feel like a sprawling acre...kudos! It’s fun to see how a man designs a garden in comparison...great perspective on how to meet the challenges!

[@dianeasberry7928]

How you dealt with those oddly placed utility boxes and all of that water is a testament to your landscaping skills and vision. One would never know they were there or that you had a real water problem. It's hard to believe you have no training. Well done, Mike.

[@tylercollette3578]

You haven’t posted in awhile. Hope all is well. Really like your content. Your place is amazing!

[@DivyaVerma-fx6wt]

Omg what a transformation.....you've made yourself a small heaven on Earth .

[@lisabee4312]

I keep coming back to your videos because your landscaping is just the best on KZbin. I love all your special touches tucked in everywhere. Thank you for sharing!

[@pattipeterson2436]

[@paulhowland901gmail.3]

Hello Laura 👋 how are you doing today?

[@Nancybartlettofficial]

That’s incredible! 😃 I can’t believe it was that bare 7 years ago and now all of this beauty. 🙌🏼

[@Lisa-oz1lv]

What a beautiful transformation and such an artistic way to present the before pictures. Thanks.!

[@carlas123]

Hey Mike~ It is amazing how you have transformed your property!! I appreciate you sharing your location and zone…sure wish more did that at the beginning of videos. You truly are an inspiration and so creative. It’s cool to hear your thought process and to see your vision come to life. My husband even watched some of your videos, and of course, he was interested in seeing how you dealt with your drainage issues. Thanks for the time and attention you put into your videos-please keep them coming and just stay you! Glad to see your channel grow. ~Carla

[@janetrosario2437]

Miss seeing your beautiful garden

[@daracobb530]

Dramatic transformation! From a flood disaster to enchanted garden. Thank you for sharing the process with us!

[@Redeleiser]

Before it was only a backyard. Now it is a paradise. Very good job!

[@AThousandWords]

I miss your videos, would love to see how things are looking as the weather cools off.

[@truthofthematter9409]

Hi, it's little ole me again! We've not seen anything from you in some time so I was checking on you and your family. Please let us know if we can be of help if needed. Your beautious garden is missed a lot! Prayers going up for you and your family.

[@jenniferhooks2454]

Mike, you have one of the loveliest, most interesting gardens I have ever seen. You said you had a drainage issue, but that flooding in that photo was terrible! You are a handy, resourceful guy, and you made a disaster into an asset. Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by your creativity!

[@KarlasTinyWorld]

I’m amazed by all the different plants you have in your garden, and the layout, I specially enjoy the curves and different shapes.

[@janicemurphy4373]

YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL AND DON’T EVEN KNOW IT, YOUR GARDEN IS GORGEOUS AND LOOK HUGE SO MUCH LARGER THAN IT REALLY IS!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!!!!

[@shoetoe4311]

Fantastic transformation. I love the way you handled the drainage issue. Very creative!

[@dianeb1963]

Just dropping by to check on you! We haven't seen a video in a while and I hope you and your family are doing well.

[@themainer1267]

Missing your videos. Love to see a fall garden tour. Hope all is well.

[@Aisucks]

I don’t know why I just decided to show my husband the transformation of your beautiful yard. He was in awe. He said WOW! that’s unbelievable;it’s BEAUTIFUL! It doesn’t even look like the same place. It’s time for us to start living our dream on our property but I’d like to hire a professional landscaper to do it. I’m crushed😂!!!!I bragged on you and how you did it yourself. I will have a physical hand in the transformation because I love playing in the dirt and seeing the wonders of nature spring up -God revealing the beauty of this earth and how He created it for us to tend to and enjoy. It’s a lot more land so I would enjoy the help.Thx so much for being an inspiration to us digging in the dirt lovers and the admirers of it all❤❤❤.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Mike, I hope all is well with you and your family. We've missed your videos and hope you'll be back creating and sharing your lovely gardens with us again soon. ~Margie

[@jenniferhughes5992]

Ready to see some new blooms and sunshiny finds! Praying all are safe, healthy!

[@kelliwebb2870]

Wow you sure added tons of plants! It actually makes the space look bigger than it actually is! Great job. A seven year work in progress!

[@claudiaperez4967]

I love everything about your garden. I watched a video of where you mentioned a trick for arranging trees and shrubs based on texture, height… (I can’t find it). Can you make a video to walk us through your thought process in a bit more detail?

[@donnajohnston155]

I hope you are well and will be posting more videos. I very much enjoy your garden

[@leadepp4047]

You made your garden into a peaceful sanctuary! Job well done.

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

What a great way to show your story! Develop the pictures and hang them from the trees in the garden you created. That is an ironic yet transformative way to demonstrate the work and love you have put into creating your special place. It feels like you are in your own cocoon, surrounded by other houses that you can't see that no longer impede on your privacy and your peaceful garden!

[@jenniferhughes5992]

Still in awe at the transformation! Such beautiful landscaping and pops color and history.So creative! Thank you for sharing!

[@jenniferhughes5992]

Still say this..as i continue to show off the beauty and creativity of this space! Just so inspired by the problems turned into beauty with just a little thought and planning..such healing in all these videos, blessed to see and share thank you so much for the wisdom!

[@MarianneRuffhaven]

Very creative use of old photographs. Thank you for the drone shots. You certainly have created a masterpiece in your small space. Going from flooded mess to a slice of Eden, everything you have done speaks to your creativity and talent.

[@jenniferhughes5992]

Really miss seeing your garden.Anxiously awaiting some new scenes.Praying all is well.

[@DelightfulSouvenirs]

I like the old photo hanging on the vine then then zooming out to show the current garden. Nice video. I wish you could come and help me with my garden too. 👩🏻‍🌾

[@mamamanda5873]

Truly incredible!!! what an amazing oasis you created!!! I bet you don't ever need to go elsewhere for vacation cuz no place could beat the sweet home 🏡 you made by your own hands✌️

[@edithweaver2335]

Waiting anxiously for your next video. Hope all is well with you and your family, you encourage a lot of us with your style of gardening.

[@annapoole132]

Just gorgeous Mike!!!! Excellent job Mike!!!!!🤗🌺🌼🌹✨💕

[@kimberlylabelle8986]

WOW!!! What an AMAZING TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR YARD...it doesn’t even look like the same place and couldn’t believe how flooded your yard was...YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB and so WELL PUT with the flowers, trees and your decor fixtures...for someone who was a beginner sure turned out like a “PRO” JUST LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!

[@truthbetold8915]

This amazing transformation must gladden the hearts of your neighbors who may enjoy seeing your garden from their homes.

[@jackcurl2005]

Besides the beauty of the garden, I think the best thing shown is your working within the framework of what you were given. From many other videos, you had mentioned the "pond" that your backyard became during rain, but I hadn't seen any evidence like you showed here. You could have spent tons of money to force the land to fit your ideas, but you worked with it to accomplish something maybe even better than what you thought it could be. Kudos!

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

Wow! What a transformation! Your garden today looks like its always been there. Bravo for seeing the potential in a basically empty space. You have gained privacy, beauty and a wonderful habitat for wildlife. Did you start with the whole garden in mind or was is more of an evolution? (I'm guessing the latter). That was a terrific 'before and after' presentation too.

[@kafinn5302]

Miraculous transformation! Take a bow ! 😊

[@lizmerritt2148]

So glad you did this video! I made my daughter watch it with me. She agrees that your yard is beautiful. I kept saying and he only did it in 7 years! Truly magnificent! It’s nice to see such terrific inspiration for my own yard! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@marthawalker2111]

Absolutely gorgeous. What a transformation.

[@chrisolson1755]

Omg it’s insane!!!!! You are a master artist!!! Thank you for sharing your beauty and please keep the videos coming.

[@StillWaters56]

Stunningly beautiful your gardens, that just goes to show that you don't need acres and tons of money to make your dream garden come thru... It's a labor of Luv and it shows...

[@joycekuhlman4450]

Incredible in just 7 years, wow! Just lovely and peaceful and your corners of the world😊

[@IFuzzyWuzzyDoodle]

Why did you stop posting videos? You had a fantastic channel and beautiful garden, really sad you stopped 😟

[@JDubKillinKicks]

I bet a few cuss words were said the first day your yard flooded. Awesome work with the video. What a great opportunity that oversized lot presented too you and you knocked it out of the park to create this beautiful oasis.

[@derondadozier1938]

Wow...aloy of hard work an alot of money but its absolutely beautiful

[@maryfeline4298]

One of the best gardens on KZbin! It seems to have evolved over decades rather than a few years!

[@carolmontycarolmonty8259]

Your planters with the hydrangeas look so pretty
