[@soprano1953]

I can just picture it full of Flowers, Fruit Trees and a Vegetable plot.Keep us updated please.

[@goldenineke]

A huge undertaking restoring the use of this space, but it will be so rewarding.

[@WendyLSchmidtPhantomPoetess]

Oh that gardener's house is so charming!

[@mamakat114]

I anticipate seeing the gardens come back to life step by step.

[@koerttijdens1234]

Wow, the painting from 1926 is amazing, those were the days of art from the gardeners.

[@gregstone6916]

Would love to see it back to being a walled garden 😎

[@anacosta5635]

It’s such a beautiful garden and I wish you well with the research, planning and restoration. Imagine when, in a couple years time, this magnificent piece of your property produces beautiful and nutritional produce for your table?! Althrop is a magical estate which I had the pleasure of visiting a few years ago. Well done with your efforts.

[@AlexandraK1]

Fun to see this sort of IRL. I have just read Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, where she describes touring a kitchen garden of this kind.

[@florapost]

I look forward to following the progress. Very exciting!

[@jenniferholter7610]

Please keep posting about this project! ❤

[@janettflannigan4276]

I can't wait to see what you do Lady Spencer. It has the bones to be beautiful again and gardening is so rewarding.

[@lyndaauwi1815]

I would love to see a beautiful garden restored ❤❤

[@susanfabian1521]

I'm always interested in the growing of food & will watch for more updates.

[@susanthompson5142]

How Magical...please take us along on restoring this magnificent garden !! Would truly love to see inside the Gardener's Cottage BEFORE you restore it. Can't wait for the notification bell to pop up... always fascinated by what you have discovered since your last update. Thank You Karen !!! 🌷🌻🌳🌺💐

[@joday7361]

The gardeners house is just gorgeous

[@AlexandraK1]

I'd like to rent it, please! ;-D

[@leislavalon3391]

I cannot WAIT to see what you do with this garden! Will you be repairing anything? Walls, gardener's house, etc.? And, what is the gardener's house like inside? It's all just SO INTERESTING! Thank you for sharing everything about this gorgeous estate, I look forward to every new post!

[@LilyGazou]

The documentation is stellar. Lists of seeds!! Maps.

[@lollypop2413]

I am so pleased you showed this walled area for vegetables and flowers. A wall does keep the pests out...my garden is much smaller and is just a bare stretch of lawn at the moment. I need to fence it in and put a lovely entrance first. Please update on progress. I like the idea of a nice glass house in the centre as a feature.

[@carylgrundy7814]

I love your enthusiasm in taking on new projects. You are a wonderful partner for your husband. I can picture a huge flower garden there where you can cut your own flowers for your home.

[@phaleen]

Thank you so much for bringing us along on your adventure. You must be thrilled to have the historical records as well as the means to bring the garden back to life. As others have suggested, could you please show the gardeners cottage. So glad I found this.

[@alanroberts4060]

Lady Spencer is georgious. a stu ningly beautiful woman. I live on my own but would love to be adopted as a Gardner and live in that gardners house.. One can dream x

[@christina-yp6jy]

I’m sure in time you will have that garden beautiful again.

[@HorticultureGeek]

Wow this will be an amazing restoration process. I’m looking forward to following along. And how lucky to have such a charming cottage still attached to the garden. That will make a wonderful visitors center for the garden if you are able to open it up to the public one day.

[@TheFinnola]

Lovely to think of the walled garden producing again on an organic property. Would have been a pity if the farmlands were filled with pesticides.

[@gerardotorrens544]

Felicidades a la condesa spencer por su labor a conservar y mantener siempre la casa althorp

[@LizzyAngell]

I love gardening and so I’m very much looking forward to following along to this restoration. Thank you so much for sharing. 🇨🇦🌹🌸🌺🌷🍓🍎🍑🍊🍋

[@francinebeck1546]

Can’t wait to see the progress ❤

[@kleszczynski1]

How dreamy, I can't wait to see the progress along the way!

[@jcmissimer5918]

It's that we have forgotten about sustainable gardening for almost 300 years ago.

[@CEEVM]

My favourite episode so far - would love to see it thriving and pineapples growing again in a greenhouse. Agree on things being brought back to how they were meant to be.

[@BureauKat]

Thank you for posting this explanation of what a walled garden is all about, it's magical thinking of the possibilities.

[@TheAntiDoteNZ]

Have just discovered your channel, and have thoroughly enjoyed this video on the walled garden. Excited to follow developments from afar here in New Zealand. Look forward to the ongoing updates.

[@pamlovell9125]

Fascinating!

[@SpanishEclectic]

The bones of this garden are spectacular. I'm a huge fan of historic garden restoration, and the fact that you have found old records is so encouraging. You have some of the world's best garden experts there in the UK. This will be exciting!

[@kridswonderhowell4541]

Thank you so much for allowing us into your enchanted world! The work & energy required is jaw dropping..... not to mention the finance! So happy to find your channel! Oh..... the handsome man who seems to be with you quite frequently..... I truly enjoy listening to all his stories about the Spencer family and Althorp.... he seems quite knowledgeable! L O L ..... (I just finished The White Ship! Bravo! BRRRAAAAVO! )

[@b.walker5955]

EUREKA! the walls weren't keep undesirables out...but the "environment" in. ~ Devouring this content. Please serve next course soon.

[@terryarrow702]

That would be an incredible meadow used to plant wild flowers.

[@sudirmannico5729]

Good vidio like👍🤝🙏

[@stephenburns3678]

Thank you

[@elizabemagnaye1874]

How big is Althorp? Full of history .

[@lesleymcshanemitchell9651]

All the Work she put into bringing the House back.. Now there to be divorced How heartbreaking for Her

[@شاهينشاهين-ص2ق]

I think Princess Di would have loved Karen so much if she met her

[@ozjumpermann1610]

This will be an interesting project, but the garden ruins are beautiful in their own way.

[@Eudaimonia88]

Nice hair extensions! 😂

[@richardmiranda640]
