French Potager & Cottage Garden Tour: Expert Tips from the Chateau's Gardeners

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Garden Friends, Come explore the medieval charm of this French cottage potager garden with me! The gardens here at Camp Chateau in Southwest France are amazing. As we walk through the potager garden, you’ll see a colorful mix of vegetables and herbs, all lovingly cared for by the castle’s gardeners. The rose garden is full of stunning blooms and sweet scents, while the cosmos, zinnias, cornflowers, and sunflowers bring bright pops of color. Along the way, the gardeners will share their best tips and tricks, giving us a peek into their gardening secrets. It’s a wonderful blend of old-world beauty and gardening know-how, making it an unforgettable experience. Thanks for watching- Steph 🌱 (Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b). #gardening #gardentour #france *Not sponsored by or affiliated with Camp Chateau. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My Amazon Store Where You Can Find Many of My Favorite Garden Items 👉 amzn.to/49F9RTU

[@Linda_Reed]

This was so enjoyable Steph! I just love the variety you bring us. I dont travel much as I've gotten older, it just isn't as easy. I love when you show us your adventures. I've been to Longwood gardens and chanticleer with you, the Azores, Amsterdam, and now France. Thank you! Emily's horses were lovely! My granddaughter rides a horse that looks like one of emilys. Also, it's as though I could smell that lavender. Just lovely. Thank you!

Such a wonderful video! My grandfather had breathtaking roses and he followed the same care regimen. Steph, would you mind sharing where you purchased your dress?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Susan! how wonderful. Such a great memory about your grandfather, thanks for sharing. Thank you so much for watching. Yes, I purchased my dress at Kohls, here's the link (even though stock is limited as its now on clearance): www.kohls.com/product/prd-7250143/womens-nine-west-babydoll-maxi-dress.jsp?prdPV=2&isClearance=false Hope this helps💚

Hi Steph, bienvenue en France! Where is this lovely place? I didn't catch the Region/Village and its not in youre decription. Those 2 ladies are delightful. Im going to gather some Horse Manure from my daughter next week and make my own Poo Tea Bags😅😮. I also like the idea of putting Azaleas with Tomatoes did she say? Thx for sharing. Hope the rest of your time in France was just as fun and interesting❤❤❤.

[@HookedandRooted]

Merci!! Comment ça va? It was an amazing country and I very much enjoyed my trip. We were in Southwestern France in Béduer which is right by Figeac. We attended camp chateau which is located at the Chateau of Béduer. It was a wonderful experience. Oh yay! If Ruth reads these comments, she will be delighted that you will be trying her "pony poo tea" recipe for your plants lol She was great! as was Emily. I really enjoyed hanging out with them in the cottage garden, potager, and the rose garden that morning. Its a very fond memory of my trip. Geraniums with Tomatoes, and also at home Emily has Dahlias planted with her zucchini for the pollination, the bees from the dahlias will pollinate the zucchini. Thank you for watching 💚

I heard that if you plant squash later in the season you won’t get squash borer and I’ve tried this 2 years and no borers.
