Garden Renovations | Reduce To A Smaller Garden | Grass Lawns For Cats | Simplify My Gardening

Aging prompts many of us to think about financial matters. But rarely do we plan to simplify our daily chores. As I age, I want to make my hobby a little easier on myself. Gardening is good exercise but can also be tough on the body. Having less plants and a smaller area to care for makes sense for me. I want to enjoy the flowers instead of working in the garden all the time. That's the motivation behind my garden renovations. I think the cats would enjoy the grass lawns too! 🌱

It’s nice to see how you planned your garden on paper first and carried through with it!

[@paulettekoosed4065]

You are smart to downsize your gardens, unlike me who spent the first year of COVID making a whole new garden. I cleared Sumak trees giving the beautiful Birch trees the sun and space they needed to flourish. Thanks for the tour through your garden projects.

[@janetadeletti5868]

This is a perfect time to install a new lawn. You do have a 'green' thumb!

[@allisonhyde-philips7109]

Kitties and Gardens...love em..😻❤🌻🌳🌺 x

[@lotteliese5689]

🦋 Dear Lily, thank you for the new video and for letting us participate in your planning and how you have realized your garden - project. Your garden has been a wonderful place before, and now it is again and will remain so for a long time in the new, easier-to-care-for arrangement and not least thanks to the addition of the lawn, the little trees that have appeared and the rescued plants . Even after this change, there will be no shortage of many flowers, a successful harvest and fine range of aromatic herbs. And if all goes well, the lavender will show you the best thanks for saving it in spring and summer next year. You will definitely enjoy a beautiful flowering time and the wonderful scents and fill a few lavender bags more than before with the dried flowers that you like so much. It has been a lot of work without a doubt, but it has not only been good for the future of the garden and your gardening work. With all of this you look really great, relaxed, wonderfully well-groomed and with an enchanting and wonderfully relaxed smile. It is very nice to see you like this. I wish you and your husband that a pleasant and sunny autumn will follow and that both of you and the lovely cats will be able to enjoy the beautiful places in the garden for a longer time this year as a reward for the big change. All the best for your health and best wishes for your happiness, your continue to enjoy what you do, your creativity, your everyday life. Until next time, thank you for taking on all the work on the films. With best regards and love 🌲🌹🐌🌻🐞 yours Lotteliese

[@Gadgetlily]

Hi Lotteliese. So glad you enjoyed this video. I doubt I will have the same amount of energy ever again to do what I did!! I did weeks of weeding also but that was way too boring to film. Although it gave me much pleasures to remove them all to start anew. I will keep my fingers crossed for the lavenders, ferns, and little trees. And the lawn too. I caught the cats munching on the new grass so I think they too enjoy the new lawn. I will have one more video on another yard project which I think you will enjoy seeing. All the best to you too. Always. 🥰

[@jillfarr9713]

Ah, Lily…so very happy to see you again!!! My goodness you’ve accomplished so much in your garden. I remember how much you love lavender. Wonderful that you rescued all those plants. They’re going to look absolutely beautiful for you next summer…I can’t wait to see them!! Have a relaxing week. xoxo

[@Gadgetlily]

Lavenders are hardy and hopefully, they will return next year. I love rescuing plants and little saplings. I did so much more but some I didn't film like picking weeds and clearing for days and days. Haha.

[@Nukynikky]

Glad you’re back finally. Cant wait to see your video

[@LisaDia14]

I love how the cats are so happy just hanging out outdoors! Gardening is rewarding and very hard work, and the renovation looks great! I have rescued plants as well. So many people leave their perennials in pots and just toss them after the season. I hate seeing that!

[@Gadgetlily]

Hi Lisa. So good you are still with my channel. You are one of the originals! Thank you. I believe that all things have a purpose and I am glad, you are another "plants saver". They all want to blossom and settle in a home. Take care. 💐

Beautiful garden. Thank you for all the videos. I was wondering what kind of mulch you are using. I notice you don’t have weeds between the plants. Again thanks for all the videos. I use your facial massage video regularly 👍🏻😇.

[@Gadgetlily]

You are most welcome to my videos. 🙏 When I first lay out the garden a few years ago, I laid down rolls of garden paper or garden fabric on top of the soil. I cut out circles in the fabric when planting my perennials. And on top, I spread natural wood mulch - adding where needed every year. The mulch is from Home Depot or any garden store. I get the ones with no added chemicals. I think these two steps prevented 90% of weeds. I never use any weed killers since my cats run freely in the garden and I don't want any harmful chemicals both in the garden or on the lawns. I am glad you use the facial massage regularly. I hope you enjoy it each time!
