Garden Tour || The ‘Fish Pond’

This a a tour and deconstruction of the garden room I call the ‘Fish Pond’ based on the brickwork surrounding the fish pond at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s Home.

I never get tired of seeing the rooms of your garden. The begonia hanging baskets are beautiful. Thanks Linda❤️😊❤️

[@jenniferanderson899]

Loving your beautiful peaceful garden 👍💓

[@sheilamashburn1795]

Beautiful Sunday morning Linda (if I may call you Linda)! I adore your gardening style loose and flowing. You have sparked a desire to do topiaries and I thank you they are a beautiful addition to my garden. Thank you for sharing.

[@anne7441]

Thank you Linda. I can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos of your garden. So inspiring, so lovely.

[@lejardindescinqsens9699]

Good morning... What a beautiful American garden! I can't wait for the next videos... such a pleasure to hear all your videos... 👏 Geneviève

[@angelinapiazza9502]

Fantastic idea with the bark in the hanging basket. Thank you 🌳

[@pinkfrangipani5131]

Thanks Linda. I like your reflections about things that inspired you to implement in your garden. Like the story of the TJ fish pond when you visited your son in college. Also, the sentimentality of collecting bricks in honour of your dear late mother. And the “borrowing” of seeds from the Munich Beer House. Traveling inspires us to incorporate so much in our own little paradise. I also love your diction and how you explain everything and the history of your home and where things were acquired.

[@glendamonachino9947]

Love, love, love this video! The design info was a valuable treat. Can’t wait for the boxwood starter tips. Inspirational!

[@maceyloubrown]

I’m addicted to these videos.🦋❤️🦋❤️

[@debel829]

I am too! Wish I could find the first one she did and see them in order! Linda is a rabbit hole I love to dive into!!

[@betzie2]

Lovely! The bricks are so sweet...and everything looks best weathered in my eyes! xo

[@johns7199]

Just finished watching Garden Answer........now on to you.........great start to Sunday morning!!!

[@ritadecicco7627]

John S same here, these two women are amazing!

[@ashlieharrilal3346]

Same here

[@paultsworld]

I am so envious of the rain you're getting! Still no rain here in my English Garden - who would have thought it? The overcast conditions makes for some lovely soft light on your garden. I like that spirea you've got Linda - I must look it up.

[@lindaplumley4060]

Can’t wait for the video on boxwood cuttings!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Just lovely. The brick outline reminds me of my grandmother's garden beds, love it. I've been know to also collect bricks, when people are willing to give it away how can I pass on free garden materials. lol

[@reneefouts5517]

Recently found your channel and Love your garden. I love the topiaries so much I have bought some boxwoods and giving it a try......looking forward to your starter tip video.......

[@karensheringo1642]

Just found your channel.. you are so upbeat and cheerful.. I have just started my three coleus topiary’s.. can’t wait to catch up on your videos

[@cindyking9813]

I had the same problem with the coconut liners every animal on the block took it. I now use black landscape fabric and it works great.

[@melrosepark4463]

Cindy King same with mine. The birds took half of it so I decided to just cover it with black landscape fabric.🤪

[@cornishbackgardenernewallo1793]

Everything looking beautiful

[@almas9567]

Thank you so much for sharing your garden, I look forward to these garden tours. 💕

[@victoriabourgeois3273]

I was watching Garden Answers yesterday when she unwrapped you’re topiary. How excited she was. Love your yard.. so very cozy. Tfs cheers

[@MichiganGardenGal]

Beautiful 💜🤗💕

[@junesmart7352]

The soft yellows and blues in the Fish Pond are beautiful, and the potted topiary just anchors it all perfectly. The presentation is just frothy! Would love to see it when the bulbs are blooming, and will search your previous videos for a peek at the bulbs in bloom. Thanks again for a pleasant trip through your gardens.

[@stephaniewaltman775]

I’m a new subscriber and I now feel I have someone with whom I am gardening. Your style really speaks to me. My comment (other than on how fab the video/garden is!)-Linda be careful about piling up too much wood to avoid creating a termite hotel. I’ve been researching those critters to determine the needs for our 1920’s house. Mostly brick (looks like you have brick as well), but plenty of wood structures. I’m not sure at what distance from the house a wood pile becomes an issue.

[@LindaVater]

Thank you!

[@Honestly173]

Thank you Linda! I'm looking forward to the boxwood starts video. Is there a green velvet in your boxwood theatre? You inspired me to get some! I live in a zone 4 and saw them at my local nursery and fell in love. Thank you for sharing your love of topiaries and knowledge of the how to. It's broadened my gardening perspective and brought me immense joy to trim my little boxwoods and admire them, even in my zone. Thanks for opening up the possibilities! 💚🌿

[@dignit1620]

Love the sentimental elements! Also working little areas at a time make so much sense! I use to try to work the whole area at one time, which I did when I was way younger, not anymore

[@elizabethb6]

Linda, thank you for sharing your beautiful and lovely garden. You inspire me to spend more time in my garden and get creative 🌷

[@kimberlyholt2865]

Charming!

[@DineeGal]

The area is so tranquil and so green! I’m loving it all ~ please continue sharing. I’ll be going back and viewing many more of your videos.

[@LindaVater]

Thank you Diane🙏

[@doowopshopgal]

Just beautifully done!!!!

[@janicemhampton7726]

Love your Garden❤

[@juanaramos-grundy9772]

LOVE...love your garden and your VD makes my day thank you!!!

[@RichGardenLife]

This definitely look lovely 😊

[@kimolson1547]

What a treat! Thank you so much for teaching us! I love the Boston Ivy. Sometime would you address what ivy’s to use where? For example fences and houses? Thank you!

[@Mojocinco]

You can try weaving some leather or hemp rope to keep your hanging plant intact. Beautiful garden paradise! Thank you for sharing

[@MMsGardening]

Beautiful garden~~That’s great!!🇰🇷👍👍👍

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

What about some rocks in the hanging basket as a longer-lasting solution instead of the bark? I initially thought the pieces of bark were rocks, anyway.

[@Graycat1735]

Lovely! How deep is the gravel in the area where the plants self-seed? Do you add compost to the area? I love the look of the gravel, but it seems like it would make it difficult to work in the bed.

[@getaracovita283]

I really, really love your garden.

[@rociovargas9105]

Love your garden ♥️

[@junesmart7352]

Just began watching today's video, but stopped long enough to tell you I am having trouble hearing you speak in your last few videos. I have my volume all the way up to maximum, but am still straining to hear you. Love your videos, and want to hear every little thing you say!!!

[@LindaVater]

I will see what I can do!

[@lisadugua3126]

I love your garden and was so excited but the fish pond today...I am always looking for a “point d ‘eau” as the French would say. , a spot of water to round your garden out!

[@Mario456SS]

Love the tree canopy.., red maple & red bud, I’m starting from scratch .. what other trees do have in this section? I also like the mix of pots throughout. Very nice!.. Thank you.

[@gingerlawson9612]

Just watch your video and loved it, do you live in the same town as Paul James the Gardener Guy? Saw him twice at a lawn and garden show. I enjoy looking at your topiary and see how you start on them. Wish my yard was enclosed , mine is wide open to the world (HOA). Look forward to the next video, keep them coming. Stay safe and busy with your topiaries

[@sunildamaritzasanchezsosa7815]

Beautiful 😍 😍 👍 👍..

[@dparamful]

Please talk about the lighting high up and around in your night garden.

[@noemiangeles1555]

I love topiaries and your garden is exceptional. You also have beautiful pots. I live in Hawaii and we have limited vendors that have good selection of pots. Please recommend an online vendor that will ship it to me? I have to get plastic, resin or anything unbreakable. Home Depot doesnt deliver here. Lowe's has a few. Please advice. Thank you!

[@cindymatthews4821]

What about snakes and lizards?? I just love your gardens but I’m just thinking of all the hiding places for the critters!! How do you handle them?

[@fayesuteau9276]

Love your style. Cozy and relaxing feel. I love how it is perfectly imperfect. How do you keep the weeds from coming through the gravel ? Especially when everything runs togeather.

[@martiknapp762]

Your garden is just beautiful. What if anything do you have under your gravel? How deep do you have it layered? I love the bricks and stones.

[@pacomag2303]

Hi Linda, your garden is heavenly. I was wondering, can you recommend some small trees? Our backyard has no shade, it's hotter than you know what (here in Memphis) and ... we have power lines to deal with. I would LOVE to have the shade you have but I'm so uncertain about what trees to plant. Thank you!!

[@anthonyhaycox1561]

Came to see the 'Fish Pond' but must have blinked and missed it 😂

[@PrayerOpensDoor]

I don't have instagram to get the fence paint formula, is there another way to find it. thanks in advance?

[@mindfulmaximalist9962]

what a beautiful sanctuary Can we get a house tour?

[@cherylwright9408]

Charming

[@coinkydink3984]

Why not put a layer of bark around the liner of your hanging baskets when you create them? I love birds, but they are destructive little rascals. Haha

[@shefalichopra6618]

Linda I have huge branches of Christmas tree which I had to cut off as they were really low. Is there something I can do with them ?

[@LindaVater]

Compost or put into the back of the garden where they can’t be seen but would mulch plants snd break down over time. Would also provide habitat for birds in thanks :-)

[@shefalichopra6618]

@@LindaVater was thinking I will use them indoors to decorate some planters and vases

[@giennefarcais6834]

Is there something that makes the sound go up and way down periodically?

[@viviangerard459]

how often do you change the dirt in the containers with plants in them

[@bethanyleinweber6893]

How do you plant in the gravel? Just push it aside?

[@anitamarques1433]

Olá Linda desde Portugal,o seu jardim é tão verde e fresco o que não acontece no meu,pois o sol nesta altura do ano é brutal.. ..queima as flores e folhas..

[@mfmarshall4478]

How do you not get the weeds to grow thru the gravel....what’s the secret? Lol

The volume needs to be louder. At times l can hear you good. I think it must be when you turn your camera more towards your face

I can never get my columbines to come back or reseed. I’m in Arkansas
