I loved seeing Margaret on your show! I am such a big fan of hers and have been for ages. HGTV needs to have people like the two of you to elevate their gardening programming. Thanks, Joe and Margaret!

You’re welcome. This was one of my favorite episodes and Margaret is one of my favorite people!! 💚👍

That idea of siting a garden from where you look OUT of your house is spot on. It has never made sense to me to see "foundation plantings" crowded up against a house's exterior walls, but when you look out the window, all you see is lawn.

[@ggwtv]

Yes. Margaret makes this a priority in designing all her views. It makes a lot of sense. 💚

What a great interview and tour. I'm a big fan of Margaret's writing and it was fascinating to hear the origin story of her garden and how she grew her life around it. Thank you for such a great episode!

[@ggwtv]

Thank you. She has a great story and so much wisdom to share. I’m glad you liked it.

Again... Loved it ! Pound : sunny area or shady ? Our first and i am looking for a tip Thanks for all your inspirations, tips, beautyful garden we discover and garderners too! Psst laught a lot ! Snake XD

[@ggwtv]

So nice of you. Thanks. The pond gets both sun and shade. But a pond in full sun will grow a lot more algae. Therefore some shade is helpful. And yes, the snake scene was fun. Snake safely returned to its location. 👍
