An Enjoyable Cottage Garden with Wildlife

This video with musical background is about a Newark, Delaware Cottage Garden loaded casually with flowers, wildlife, and some fun with the grandkids. The garden used to be over-run with deer, but is now fenced and has two hand-dug ponds and a vegetable garden.
Please note one correction: "Rose Campion" (Lychnis coronaria) was mislabeled as "Lamb's Ears."

Beautiful garden and wonderfully talented grandchildren!

[@riverbank4126]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful garden with us all - and your family's amazing musicians. It seems as if beauty is an important part of your lives. I'm amazed at the amount of work it must have taken to develop this jewel in a place where deer like to roam! Diane, Riverbank, Delta, BC, Canada

[@grannieannee]

Diane, it has only been possible with a fenced yard, which is only 6 feet high, but we think the deer don't try to jump it because it is heavily planted and they can't really see into the space very well. Thank you for your comments. GrannieAnnee

[@annehansen1935]

Made me cry too. What lucky grandchildren. What a garden filled with love. What an amazing Creator.

[@raquelflasco4746]

I absolutely love your garden! My grandmother was the person in my life who instilled in me the love for flowers. In her memory, I made a garden on one side of my house, trying to have all the flowers she had in her garden in our country of origin, Cuba. I loved her very much. Now I’m making sort of a cottage garden on another side of the house which faces south. It’s going to be a slow process because living in Miami, the summers are brutal, so they have to be perennials that can take serious heat. It’s going to be a challenge! God bless your garden ❤️

[@trevorharris2188]

How beautiful so loved children singing and playing the piano so talented 💕💗

[@michellerhodes5879]

I so enjoyed your gorgeous gardens and the music was just beautiful!

[@lesliekendall5668]

To make it personal was so wonderful! The high heels brought back a memory. We have home movies from the late 50's of dad putting plastic toy high heels with elastic straps on his first 3 girl's feet (me included) and us walking around (we ranged from like 3-6 y.o.) 😊

[@vvarble]

Your garden is absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing and labeling plants!

[@grannieannee]

Vivian Varble I'm glad you liked the plant labels, Vivan. I was a little afraid the labeling would be distracting, but then I get disappointed when I can't figure out a plant's name, so in the names went. Maybe the next video will have one consistent font--it looks like I sampled every one on the computer!

[@vvarble]

I'm grateful for them since I can't recognize all the plants yet. My list of flowers is growing! You are right about the font, the same font the whole way through will help unify it and make it seamless. I hope you do more videos!

[@grannieannee]

Vivian Varble Vivian, don't feel badly: I just read that there are over 400,000 flowering species which explains why you and I don't know them all yet.

[@marilynschroeder8246]

So beautiful! Your grandchildren are certainly talented. Enjoyed seeing your garden and hearing the lovely music and songs. 🥰

Oh my goodness. I can't remember enjoying a video more than this. It was just what the doctor ordered. I miss my Florida garden so much and it was 20 degrees this morning. Long winter ahead but I will watch this throughout the season to fill the void.

[@anneengelkingwellman1101]

+Gardening With Puppies Thank you. I am so delighted you enjoyed it while you are recuperating and that you have your puppies to snuggle up to this winter.

[@joanshute3384]

WOW I'm lost for words. This garden is so peaceful and calming. A little bit of Heaven here on Eath. Your grandchildren brought tears to my eyes they sing Beautifully. Your garden is a place I could see myself having my Bible and a cup of Tea and talking to God. This is something we all need a place to go and talk to our Creator. You see my husband is a Minster and we Love places like this. Thank you for such and enjoyable video. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed Weekend and Stay Safe my Friend's.

I was blown away by this video. The flowers, the variety, teh wildlife, the music... Too bad one can't smell the aromas over the Internet. Thanks for sharing this piece of your life with us, Grannie Annie. God willing, I'll have a garden again next year when I retire, and I'll draw inspiration from yours.

I love the cottontail visitor. I have 2 families in my garden. They can nibble whatever they wish. They are as wonderful as the plants. After all, i want a garden, not just a yard

[@PapasPtPt]

Beautiful and Inspirational ! Ever since I spent time in my Grandma Wilma's perennial garden as a small child, I have been a "wannabe" spectacular gardener/landscaper. Also, music and showing love to our children and grandchildren has always been a top priority. You have "put it all together" after countless hours of loving labors on your gardens. Do not doubt it - you are making a lasting impression on young hearts that they will carry inside the rest of their lives. Thank you for sharing this (made me cry).

[@grannieannee]

Thank you, Brian. I also remember my one grandma's garden, not the visual memory so much but mainly the aromas of her stored ripe seckel pears and rubbing her rose geranium leaves which gave off a fantastic rose fragrance. Oh, and hiding under a mystery bush that had white puffy balls of sponge-like "flowers."

Leading us through with the names of flowers, the music, watching the children playing make believe in the magical garden down to the helping hands of your love and God’s creatures free to roam and play as well, was delightful and beautiful, it’s really what all the hard work and creative art is truly about I believe. The finale, with credit given to God, was beautiful and perfectly true. ❤️❤️❤️

thank you very much for giving the names of the plants, I have been looking to name a flower that is growing on my front gardens, and now I know, tickseed coreopsis, I was thinking Gailardia, when I walk visitors through I like to know the names, and have now decided to make little labels with my children for everything. Your grandson has such talent I enjoyed the music greatly, as well as your granddaughters voice, you have much to be proud of, surrounded by beauty, garden and family.

[@wiltinrose37]

Absolutely breathtaking. Lovely music by your grandchildren, too. I am going to watch with a notepad next time!

[@grannieannee]

Thank you Shannon. I watch it with a notepad, too! I'm always trying to decide what needs to be moved where this spring and where I can cram in some new varieties. That is what makes cottage gardens so much fun. New plants can be squeezed in without worrying about upsetting some grand organized scheme.
