GARDEN TOUR: A True Gardener’s Garden

[@Goot253]

I wanted to give a compliment, but I'm just speechless to the beauty of her property. 30 years of tender loving care went into maintaining such a beautiful garden.

[@livingdoll3445]

Thanks for this from Annie in Australia this is a fab garden love the stone setting of house and those paths where the water runs thru looks dreamy and would look great in all seasons even winter as you said. Look forward to seeing more.

[@sosoutherncustomequestrian4598]

"You might be in charge but you're not in control" How fabulous is that?! Boy is that applicable to all parents😆

[@Goot253]

Great quote to live by!

[@chelseajones4141]

Your friend, Linda, is such a gem! It just goes to show what can be achieved in the landscape stewarded by a wise & seasoned gardener 🌿 Impeccable! Thanks for sharing.

[@micheleolson9914]

I LOVE this garden tour! One thing about gardening that I truly enjoy is that each garden can be uniquely different but just as beautiful, and they reflect a gardener's growth over time. We grow and mature with our gardens. I can't wait to see the back yard. And I enjoy seeing how you two friends bond over the joys, labor and natural disasters over gardening. BTW, we call those ditch lilies in Minnesota. I have them in my yard too, but after seeing this tour, I'm inspired to move some to my back yard to put in an area occasionally flooded to hold the bank of soil. Thank you for having such a great channel with wonderful, inspirational (and do-able!) content. And Stewart makes it great too. Take care. 💜

[@lindagreiss4093]

These daylilies are called ditch lilies in GA too, yet they are originally from England. I love them!

[@Practicedaily-m7v]

I am so happy that Stuart started talking. He has a beautiful voice and adds to the videos. Like to see him in them please!

[@melissaobrien5014]

Linda I find great information from your vids but I have to say Stewart has the most calming voice.. Stewart you need to speak more what a lovely voice and so authentic 🍀

[@joydaniel597]

Your friend Linda is just as eloquent of a speaker as you. Those pots are so unique and beautiful. You can tell that the garden is a labor of love.

[@jenniferhooks2454]

Love the gorgeous dress! In my southeastern NC garden, the bugs would eat me alive in a dress! I am a hot mess, literally, when I work in my garden. Thank you for the tour of that lovely garden. That Linda has such a beautiful landscape! I have no words. I can appreciate the loss of trees. I lost all the big trees in my backyard to a tornado almost 4 years ago. I grieve that loss everyday, but I move on, trying bring some beauty to my now very HOT, sunny backyard. Gardens are always a work in progress, but mine paid me back today in ripe tomatoes! Yay!

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good evening Linda! I truly enjoyed this tour of your friend’s lawn and garden. I loved how she talked about having a “view” through her tree because I’m the same way. Just today, I pruned some branches off two trees to improve the view into my yard. I love the sculptural quality of tree branches! Her rock bed was so peaceful looking and the large pots at her driveway are so pretty! I learned a lot, too! Thank you! 💕

[@gratefulheart860]

Amazing! Beautiful, true words: "These are my children. These are my grandchildren", made me cry. I am grateful! My deep respect!

[@deborahbavas6514]

Wow! Be still my heart! Linda’s yard, house, etc. is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! She seems like a person that when you meet her, you want her in your life!❤️

[@collettehouchin3541]

I love all your videos but these two were spectacular. A beautiful garden and I loved how much she loved you being there. Wonderful

[@crowquilltarot]

Well, you two are a delightful hoot! We all want in your club. Thank you for this; I look forward to more. So inspiring.

[@nancyoglesby4538]

I believe those are Tawny daylilies, instead of tiger lilies. These tawny daylilies grow in ditches along the roads in SC. There is a double variety also, called Kwanso. Tiger lilies' blooms are reflexed with purple-black spots. Both are a beautiful orange. These dayliles are prolific and brighten gardens as well as gullies. Loved this video!

[@gardengal26]

Very much enjoyed this one...your friendly chatter. Looking forward to seeing the backyard!😊

[@jeanninef2110]

I thought the orange flowers were hemerocallis or orange day-lily. From this far away it looks like that to me. Lovely garden!

[@lenorepaladino8632]

You are right, they are daylilies.

[@jeanninef2110]

@@lenorepaladino8632 I thought so, Tiger lilies have downward pointing flowers with black dots on the petals.

[@lenorepaladino8632]

Yes they do.

[@urchinsushi2041]

Yes these are orange daylillies - I was practically shouting at video several times - “OrANGE DAYLILLIES!!!” 😂 LOL - but I LOVE and are obsessed with them , I’m tempted to walk down my street and ask my neighbor if she wouldn’t mind sharing some, I’m in northern Virginia and this must be a very good year here for them as well

[@lenorepaladino8632]

@@urchinsushi2041 I have so many I wish I could give you some!

[@beverlyasleson3321]

What a beautiful house and landscape what a talented lady so magnificent. Thank you Linda and Stewart for showing us this home. Love your dress and hat so sophisticated looking.

[@p.h.c.1113]

Wow, Spectacular garden! I loved what you two said at the end, if you viewed it as work, you wouldn't get it done. I had two ladies in my garden the other day, and one of them said about gardening "It's a lot of work!" I replied, that it doesn't really feel like work to me at this time of my life. It's fun and it is therapy.

[@beckybainer9019]

Wow, Spectacular! Thank you to both Linda’s and Stewart for a very special treat!

[@vickiejones7085]

It’s play she’s right. I’m retired and have the time now to garden and love to “play” in it every day. A true gardener looks at it as play, something they enjoy. She has a beautiful yard/garden, thank you for sharing, can’t wait to see the rest of the back area.

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

What a beautiful space ...but wow.... what an interesting and delightful lady !!! Absolutely love all her garden/gardeners sayings ! When she said she picked trees for their bark , I was hooked , when she made difference between a "landscaped " and a garden, I fell in love 💙 what an honor Linda , for you to share with us all these treasures of friends you have .

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Such a fabulous landscape and home thank you for sharing this lovely home with us.

[@vickiebrannon5217]

What an absolutely beautiful garden! I would love to see it in the fall, too. Thanks to all three of you for a great video! Best wishes from Middle Tennessee.

[@pamelaritch8587]

Truly a labor of love in this garden. I enjoyed the casual conversation between you two Lindas. I feel like I’m eavesdropping on two experts and getting so much free advice. It’s not just about plants, but the whole esthetic of the home, the plan and working with nature. I have a similar potting bench that is on a slope that was built by my husband and father. They did the same thing, two legs are shorter than the other two and I treasure it. Can’t wait for the next video.

[@lollyreg97]

Ive come back five months later to watch this video again to see her day lilies again and to hear all the gardening wisdom! I, too, have a sloping lot with a drainage ditch.

[@charlsiesprewell200]

In Georgia, we call these ditch lilies. They grow everywhere along country roads.

[@sherryryan4305]

What a beautiful blessed estate. Everything is so lovely with green in the trees, the lush lawn and the enormous potted vessels holding the pines, off from the bridge. Certainly picture perfect.

[@corzope]

WOW! That's all I can say. What a wonderful garden. As you said, it is the result of hard work and dedication, but above all the real love for gardening and the true vision of the space.

[@shirleyprescott1528]

A glorious monster it is, but a gorgeous tour for us all! I do appreciate the work and all that goes into this beautiful garden! Thank you for making my Sunday morning Blessed! God Bless you Both ! And Stewart, too!

[@Alana.is.a.Golden]

W🧡W! Her property! And she was very welcoming, warm and knowledgeable… Love it!

[@BetsyH]

I love her property and I so love her home. Absolutely beautiful! My yard slopes and we are constantly working it. I enjoy seeing videos of homes on sloping land and how it's planted to get ideas. I like how Stewart films your videos so that we see all the beautiful plantings. Nothing rushed. Very enjoyable!

[@terrihart2133]

I really like your interviews and watching you interact about gardens ( and other subjects)with others. I can tell you are a caring and kind lady. And so sharp in fashion and vocabulary and interaction.❤️

[@libbymiller5240]

Oh my goodness, how ENCHANTING! I gave myself a "day off" from running errands and such and I am so VERY EXCITED to see the other part of this fantastic video! Well, what is there to say about this property other than, WOW! As Stewart was panning around the yard, I loved the fact that everywhere you look, there are treasures to be seen...whether it be, beautiful pots, a large stone bunny standing tall on back legs in the distance, or stunning dragon wing begonias draping over lovely baskets on the porch. What an absolute TREAT!! Now, on to the backyard!! Love and blessings...

[@annierampersad3982]

The landscape is so amazing. Thanks for this lovely video Linda and can't wait for the backyard tour.

[@kbarnes6855]

Me as well! I throughly enjoyed this garden tour.

[@bernadette1510]

Amazing garden with even more generous gardener! What a lovely women!

[@sydneykasmar]

Beautifully planted landscapes and a wonderful gardening conversation. Thank you.

[@tc-gd8ln]

i am so enjoying this series of two vidz. You two/three have such great chemistry and the property is amazing , that it is such a joy to watch and a gift at the same time. so much wisdom between the two of you. thank you so much!

[@bjohnson1149]

What a beautiful home and garden. Can't wait for part 2. I'm so envious of those who have these beautiful gardens. I'm 72 and have health issues, so I have to pay for lawn care. I have to be happy to garden in pots on my porches and deck. Please keep sharing your beautiful garden, Linda, and those of your friends. They inspire me.

[@deloresajacobs9551]

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. That if I thought gardening was work I wouldn't do it. I remember as a child we had chores of sweeping off the patio, picking up leaves, and weeding the garden. Oh how we groaned at the thought of doing that as children. But now as an adult I have a different attitude towards gardening it's play and beauty creating an oasis for your family to enjoy. I love to play in my garden, in fact I play in my garden more than I dust my furniture vacuum my floors. I just love being outdoors, Even in the heat of Texas.

[@theresabrown6980]

What an amazing woman and a stunning garden. Thank you so much for showcasing this garden.

[@lm8006]

Wow, just wow! As I’m watching, I’m thinking: 1) this is the kind of garden you have to walk through multiple times & in multiple directions to really see all the careful choices & detail. 2) Every vista is curated. 3) I’ll be rewatching this one 4) capture all those lovely quotes in a future book, Linda! and, finally 5) one of the things all true gardeners share: the ongoing assessment…what I like to call “gardener brains” . Thank you

[@deborahr9237]

LV you know the best gardens! I really never thought of OKC as such a garden haven until seeing you and your incredible gardener friends. Thank you Linda for this tour - from the front to 'the room where it happens' it's incredible and a labor of love. I love your home, the bridge, the arroyo, your terra pots, and the barks! You weren't kidding about nothing being level. Can't wait to see Part 2...

[@suzannemartinez4420]

I garden in San Antonio Texas and I started a journal a few years back it started out as birding journal because of a cardinal nest I was blessed to host on my back patio but since has turned into a “nature” journal with entries and tags of plants , trees, birds, armadillos and other guests. Love playing in the garden and learning along the journey! Thank you for sharing!

[@joannschultz3679]

Wow! Such a beautiful property. Know it was a lot of work but looks natural. Thank you Linda, Stewart and the property owner to share this with us. Sweltering in Northern California and yet another drought year makes the beautiful green of the lawns and trees that much more appreciate.

[@danielallen138]

And I appreciated all the things we cannot grow in our garden due to the deer. Hosta, day lilies, coleus... we can only have them grown behind fences, but I'd much rather be able to have them in a natural-looking landscape.

Loved meeting you too!

[@trishferrer8209]

Just before the 15min. mark, Linda says something is going to be outlawed, but I didn't catch "what". Y'all were talking about pH in soil. Still watching; loving this video! THAN YOU for the lightbulb moment... We have a thousand tiger lilies in a circular, front yard flowerbed, which I have always thought looks autrocious!! It was here when we moved in. I want them gone or elsewhere. In fall I transplanted some to a hill, but it is hard work.

[@aussiegirl62113]

Wow I can't wait for the backyard and that lake view looks amazing 😍 you guys are full of t-shirt design quotes 😂👍❤️ I've planted my garden to imitate natural aussie bush with groundcovers, shrubs and trees. It's only 3 years old, so lots of growing to do yet. And I chose trees for the bark, paper bark and dwarf eucalypt with red bark 😍😍👍

[@lisaneinast4425]

I too love the dragon wing begonia, but have really struggled this year in hot, dry windy West Texas! I have a shady backyard and porch but the wind from the southwest and days of well over 100 degrees have played havoc on all my plants! Especially the tender wind of the begonias! ☹️. I always say if you can garden in these extreme weather areas you’re a master gardener!

[@moniquemckenna6795]

I planted an Amor Cherry tree for the back, the older it gets the more beautiful as the bark peals and looks like molten copper. It produces small white flowers then berries. It is not a troublesome tree with any mess.

[@peggydove8756]

Just absolutely beautiful!
