Thanks for this nature tour. I am happy to see the native and non-native plants thriving together.It is indeed a relaxing place and I look forward to the next video.👍🌳🌾

[@mariannebieker7574]

P. Allen Smith- thank you for your insight on the North Forest at Crystal Bridges. I am a tour guide at Crystal Bridges. I appreciate your comments as a guest & horticulturist commenting on the plants which populate our sculptures on the North Forest Trail. I have learned an immense amount of information which may enhance my tours in the North Forest!

[@suemaddox1730]

Love your humor...”Canoe twist.” 😂😂😂

[@nancyharrison9686]

I love when P Allen Smith says stuff like "my stars!"

[@Fagapperd14]

So beautiful and peaceful walking around this so well maintained forest. It feels like healing.

[@rosepaetzke2933]

Thank you for taking me along on your beautiful forest walk and sharing all the incite of the plants!🤗

[@pamketron]

🌿Wow! Such an amazing place. A peaceful place to walk around and see all the beauty in nature. Really enjoyed this tour. Wish it was longer! Thanks for taking us along. 🌳🦜🦋🌸

[@pamp7171]

Love the discussion as you are walking through this beautiful garden.

[@rainydays1105]

Very unique and tranquil garden. Thanks for sharing.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

This time I think the artwork is as beautiful as the flora and fauna. There is so much texture there.

[@bettinablalock7234]

I always love it when you “take us” to Crystal Bridges ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suzannecoffey1391]

What a fabulous place! As an overseas viewer I really appreciate filing these more off-the-beaten path attractions away for our next US visit.

[@gardensbyjudylevy8031]

Beautiful, this place is on my bucket list ❤🌾🌾

[@carolem9134]

Really nice tour, thank you for sharing.🙂

[@teresagalbreath7452]

One of my most favorite videos that you have ever done!!

[@wandashaw3551]

Art and Nature. A beautiful combination. Thank You.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Perfect place for a Chilluly. He is the best.

[@nunyabiznez7269]

Talk dirty to me, boys. Plant roots, wheelbarrows--the more detail, the better.

[@sarwatkamal3442]

Wow very nice video

[@mercedsoriano3581]

I Lovett!!

[@nappynew]

Is the Autumn Fern the only one with the bronze leaf? I saw the bronze leaf color and cut it off thinking it was pass it's prime -- (dead) and clipped it off. Am I doing it wrong? Thanks.

[@rdarrett3635]

Oh no! 😉The Autumn Fern has bronze leaf color. They are one of my favorite. I planted it in a neighbors garden and fell in love. I will be planting some in my garden before winter.

[@lisaschaletcreations1895]

Hi my friend...ii need your advice right away. This is one of those times I wished I could pick up the phone for 5 minutes to call ya.lol.. Ok I live near Pittsburgh. I am at a friends cabin cleaning up and found some peonies that are buried in the weeds. Can I dig it up now to take home or would this disturb it?

[@nappynew]

Can you trim any Redbud into a willow?

[@Wilde716]

I didnt realize the canoes left the Albright Knox in Buffalo

[@teriratterman6389]

👍💟

[@cathy8819]

I think Allen has been dabbling in the native plant, Marijuana. Just saying. It does evoke the imagination. I know that from experience.

[@PAllenSmith]

Cat Bird cannabis is actually known to be native in Central and Northern Asia. js

[@cathy8819]

@@PAllenSmith no kidding. My comment about marijuana being local was a joke because of all the native plants in the video and you commenting on that fact. But it does seem like you indulged in something that day or you weren't feeling well.

[@marciagrant6687]

your walking with a slight limp. are you okay?

[@user-cz2kn2nb9r]

Hunhhh. I watched this from start to finish and didn't notice a limp. They were walking through the woods, on and off trail. It might be the device you are watching it on.

[@lovetogarden8455]

Did P. Allen have too much wine with one of his famous dishes? 🤔I hope he is not ill. 😞

[@user-cz2kn2nb9r]

As a leader in bringing Farm to Table to the United States and having produced one of the longest and most successful ongoing programs on PBS, one could certainly not fault Mr. Smith for having a small drink with dinner -- but clearly not in this video-. What an unusual comment.

[@ericschmuecker5573]

What a waste. Obnoxious art in a nice garden. Ouch. Someone has to much money and or no honest friends. Hmm?

[@ericschmuecker5573]

Correction "too".. My Daughter had 4 field trips last year. All good though! Lol. My yard art an Ozark glade.
