Kath is a delight and so is her garden. Her garden philosophy and practical approach to plants proves that you can have a beautiful garden without being a slave to it. Thank you for the tour.

You are welcome.

Thank you for garden tour, will never tire of these. Your property is beautiful, love the sitting area and fire pit, looking over the meadow....I can so relate with having to say goodbye to long time favorites and choosing less maintenance. I've been pondering that this year....I appreciate your honesty about still loving those plants, but can't do it anymore. Same with dog....we have also chosen not to get another pet....although our dogs were loved!

[@GardenGateMagazine]

So nice of you. Kathy is so thoughtful.

[@elmaelmar2761]

What a beautiful garden!!!

[@GardenGateMagazine]

It really is! Thank you for watching.

[@christinepops5100]

Love the pallette of your garden and all the stonework. There is something special about a garden that has evolved over many years. Thanks for sharing your lovely garden, I'm picking up the magazine for another look.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Thank you for checking out the video and our magazine. We appreciate the interest.

[@janiebryant8068]

I greatly enjoyed the tour of Kath's lovely garden. It is so helpful to hear and see the names of the varieties she chose to grace her garden. I live in zone 5b and so seeing the combinations and textures and hearing how they perform is beneficial. Thank you!

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

Absolutely beyond dreamy ! You and your husband make such an incredible team. I am truly inspired. My husband and I also enjoy creating and work on many projects in and around our Cape Cod home as well. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful gardens. ~ Stephanie

Lovely. I really enjoyed your garden Kathy and the wealth of information you shared. Thank you!

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching.

[@jhodges5204]

Covid kept me from visiting gardens this year, it was so refreshing to see your summer garden now, in January. Thanks to both of you for a wonderful tour.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

So nice of you. Thanks for watching. We didn't get to travel and see gardens in 2020 either. We can't wait to start visiting gardens again!

[@leadepp4047]

Beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad we could bring you this beautiful garden. Thanks for watching!

[@cathiedawson5961]

Two feral cats came to live in my garden and since their arrival squirrels, bunnies, moles, and ground squirrels are no longer a problem for me. The cats are a better deterant than the dog when she was with us.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad you got some some relief from those pesky critters!

[@Rachel.4644]

Wonderful share, thank you.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Rubber snakes work for me to keep rabbits away. I love them periodically.

[@jeanninef2110]

Will there be a live garden tour from this garden any time soon...(asking in April 2023)?

[@GardenGateMagazine]

We are not planning to visit Kathy this year. We hope to get back someday. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Greetings from zone 10a in California.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Greatings! Thanks for watching.

[@susanmesch6041]

Love your garden. Just wondering what lavender you have growing. I live in zone 4 also but can't find a lavender that will come back the following year.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

We reached out to Kathy and here is her response, "That little hedge includes a mix of at least two English lavenders: Munstead and Hidcote. Most of the plants were started from seed many (25) years ago. Others were picked up over time from a local nursery that sells field-dug divisions. These are the hardiest lavenders available, but they are only winter hardy to zone 5. Since I garden in zone 4B, I sometimes lose a plant and need to replace it. Some of the plants are very old now, but they don't seem to mind being cut back quite severely. They are planted proud and on a slope as the soil here is quite heavy and we usually get a lot of precipitation. Depending on the amount of snow cover, there is always some die-back. Selective pruning to remove dead stems or sections of the plants that have died takes a good two hours each spring, but it's well worth that effort to have lavender in my garden!" Thanks for watching!

[@debrawallingford3373]

What species of lavender winters well in Vermont? I live in N. KY and have not found a lavender that survives our winters. Thank you.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Lavender is a Mediterranean native, so it thrives in drier, hotter climates. If you can provide a very loose, gravelly or sandy soil for your lavender, that might help keep roots drier going into wet, snowy winters. Also mulch with gravel to keep the foliage from getting moldy and staying wet in summer. You may have to resort to planting your lavender in containers, then moving them to a sheltered spot that doesn’t freeze hard over winter. Thanks for watching and commenting.
