July Front Garden Tour! :: My Last Front Garden Tour in This Garden! 🥲

[@athomewithelisa]

Hands up who else is crying watching the end of this video? Well done Janey, it is something to be very proud of x

[@eileenchang2173]

I started tearing at seeing the title 😂! 🌸❤️🇨🇦

[@lindylou3519]

Nah…only 2 years living there…you think you are attached until you actually put in a good 5-10, then you look back & actually realize 2 yrs was but a tiny part of bigger things to come. It’s too exciting to get to start with a clean slate with even more room & she’s very excited about that! 😊

[@jpaul1761]

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️😭

[@grisespino5342]

I felt sadness reading title of the video 😞

[@jenmason40]

We all love you- even little ol' me from Toronto, Canada. You should be so proud. Love you ❤

[@anngallegos5515]

You should tell the new owners, if they decide they don't like or want something to call you and you will take it to your new place. They may not like the same things as you and have a different idea of something they would like to put in place.

[@ginnyevans1035]

Those "first gardens" will always be so special. Before you know it, though, you'll have your new space feeling like home!😊

[@claudiaceleste777]

Every time you retell the story about the Itoh Peony that belonged to the neighbour’s mother, and how you planted it where they could see it, I’m reminded how kind a heart you have. Your true garden is inside you Janey, what you have created here you would create anywhere you go, and it will be better every time because you cannot help but create that abundance from your truth.

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

You don’t have to say goodbye to this lovely garden you’ve created Janey. It can be visited anytime you want in your memories! Thank you for taking us along on this gorgeous stroll down memory lane❤️🇨🇦

[@trishrobinson1523]

We’ve made several moves and have put so much sweat equity into the homes and gardens we sold. You have to just look forward to the fresh clean slate and new opportunities and stay focused on new exciting projects. Don’t be sad!! ❤

[@bethreisman8869]

Janey, I’m a 9b Scottsdale AZ gardener. You inspire me to try new plants in my very mature desert garden. Your love of all plants flowering is such a different style from my own. Your garden is just lovely. You’ve planned, planted, removed, replanted, moved…the journey for all of us gardeners. It’s brought joy to so many of us watching. A sweet goodbye to this garden and a greeting to your next!❤

[@GabrielWood-tg7qr]

Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world . I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Gabriel Wood from San Francisco, California where are you from if I may ask?

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

We will all miss your beautiful garden but happy for you! So excited to see your new garden already

[@heidijones1516]

Oh Janey! I feel your pain . . . I went through a move to the house next door 15 yrs ago to the house we had planned/hoped to purchase in a new subdivision. We missed putting down our deposit for it by 10 mins. That was in ´92 but in ´08 we got our chance again and moved next door to our #1 choice. The main reason I am telling you this is because since our house was also sold to a couple who ¨liked to garden¨ over the next year they ripped out every established tree, shrub and perennial. Plus, I had left behind all of my heavy duty iron trellises since there were roses growing all over them. The trellises were pulled out and were given away. I know it was their house and I did expect changes but it was hard. I really regreted leaving so many beautiful plants that ended up in the compost bin. If you love it, take it with you!! Just because you may think it belongs in your present garden does ńot mean they will. xo

[@breeanders15]

Janey, thank you for all that you do! We are still with you as you create another amazing garden in your new home!😊

[@andymeacham1508]

Crying right there with you! Change can be fun, exciting, and scary, but also hard on the heart! I will also miss seeing this beautiful garden grow, but I’m excited to see what lies in store at the new place!💕

[@sag6310]

Oh no take the obelisk, I left so much stuff on my last move because I moved to another state and it just hurt so much. I wish I had a lot of my stuff to this day.

[@peggy-ann1961]

Yes I agree, we got rid of so much between yard sale and thrift stores that I wish I’d kept. 🇨🇦

[@yougrowgail]

I know you have a ton going on but have you thought of getting a tray of growers pots maybe three or four inches and some rooting hormone and taking a snip of all the plants you say you will miss and stick them in the dirt. They may not all take but if you got the majority to take it would be nice to have starts of all the original plants you love!

[@alison41380]

I know this feeling. I left my garden of TWENTY YEARS behind… last December. I took a few things but left behind so much along with my greenhouse. I cried and cried. But I moved on to my new garden that’s on almost 7 acres when I was on less than acre before! My clean slate (well it was a clean slate but I started planting the day after closing 😆)… is a dream for this home gardener. Bigger and better things ahead for you!

[@lucy2beme]

Janey is choking me up. You are handing off all your hard work to a new family. They will love your garden because they invested in it. I can't wait to see what you do with your new garden.

[@oneimaginarygirl5]

I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹🥲 you break my heart, dear Janey! We will all miss your beautiful garden, but I know we are also very excited to see you develop a brand new one! ❤❤❤

[@debbie2917]

Bitter Sweet All your hard work has paid off, the garden looks absolutely beautiful. Hopefully, you’ll do a home tour, and a lot of before pictures of the front and backyard. Looking forward to seeing all your ideas happen in your new place. So excited for to be on this journey with you. Blessings for you and your family.❤

[@rebeccaandro8910]

"We get posession of the new garden in 2 weeks.... I mean the house". LOL Just starting your tour and I am already tearing up!

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

While it doesn't seem like it today, there are so many new opportunities for you to garden in your new home. You will create another beautiful garden, but no garden can ever replace your first garden. I wish you all the best Janey. The best is yet to be!! 🌺🌺

[@elizabethwalters8790]

Just like you said Janey…”bittersweet” Absolutely gorgeous as always. Like you I will miss it too, but excited to watch your new chapters unfold in the new garden. I am having a tear with you and giving you a big virtual hug… Just watch this girl go 👏🌸🌺🏡💚💚💚

[@robinhenrich8487]

Oh Janey, of course there are tears. This is the garden where you cultivated your love and passion for gardening. This is the garden where your new career started. It will always hold a very special place in your heart. You are headed to a new and great gardening adventure. I am so looking forward to watching you in your new home and garden to see how you transform it into a beautiful place to live and share. 🌻

[@heidijones1516]

Well put!!

[@tracymeakings9956]

Oh Janey, we all love this garden too but think of it as your training space for what’s to come. Your new space I’m sure is going to be beautiful and we’re all here with you for the journey ahead ❤❤❤❤

[@bonniemiller9197]

Oh Janey, zone 5b here, and so excited and proud of you for being willing to take such a journey into the future with your family by your side. I have learned that while landscapes and flower beds may change, no one can take away your memories. And what a documentary you have made of your years on the corner. Blessings, and can't wait for the adventure.

[@josweatt898]

You could go on and on Janey as we love that front garden bed (all actually). The front swoop with the diamond pattern Jasmine featured on Laura’s channel is why I started following you! Have learned so much from you and it is a treat to see your garden combinations. Will definitely write down your must have agains in my garden journal to see if they work in my area. Will be fun to see you expand In your new space. Hugs and love and it’s good to cry. 😢❤

[@MelindaBrooks-vj3fr]

Chin up, Janie. Your next garden will be better because of this one! But I know moving is hard.

[@kristinabrahams3511]

Dear Janey, thank you for having shared your journey throughout the changing seasons in this beautiful garden. It is as beautiful as you are and you deserve to be very proud. I am so excited to see you continue your journey as a gardener in your new home. I understand how bittersweet the goodbye to this garden is. I cried along with you. Thank you again.

Janet, i feel your pain, we all do ,I think, but soon we will be with you in your new garden!😢

[@simplybloom]

You should be so proud of everything that you have accomplished! The garden is literally one of your babies so it is so understandable that it is bittersweet.

[@Meems56]

It’s been a wonderful two years! Enjoy the next new adventure! Farewell to you and all your lovely community! 🌸

[@janemily2627]

The FOR SALE sign is an eyesore because your landscaping is so SPECTACULAR!

[@AP-1983]

I’m gonna miss the front swoop! I bet your neighbors are going to miss you too! ❤

[@Joy-ed9mn]

What a thing of beauty you've created, Janey. The first time I happened to go down your street last year and see your garden, I was like, WHOA!!! And ever after that, my husband and I would say, "Let's drive home by that garden." You have brought delight to us every time. And I know what you are going through in trying to decide what to leave behind for the new owners and what to take. When we moved, I made the hard decision to leave a lot of our potted plants behind because not only were they so big, but also, I couldn't bring myself to kill the plants in order to keep the pots. I thought that how we had constructed our mostly container garden was perfect for the space and that's where they all belonged. It helped knowing that one of the new owners was into gardening. Your new owners are lucky to have the gifts you are leaving behind. Onto the next chapter!

[@JermaineGertse]

Thank you Janey for sharing your garden with us. I'm very sure the prospects of what your new home/garden can become is invigorating to you. Scary and exciting all at the same time. Congratulations and adieu to your new and old properties respectiveltly. Enjoy and never forget to smell the flowers and admire the bees.

[@allenslater9234]

Janey, you are handing over a beautiful gift of such a gorgeous garden to the people buying your home. It is bittersweet for all of us who have grown to love you and your garden.💖😘

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Janey , yes you have every right to be so proud ! And with everything else going on you still managed to get your Master Gardener designation! This video will be a good reference for all of us as we plan for next year’s gardens! Thank you! 🎉🌸❤️🇨🇦

[@adriennes657]

Lovely! The garden is filled with your heart and soul. I once heard the saying that ‘Gardening…part obsession part therapy!’ I think it’s so true! Can’t wait to see your new ‘canvas’😍

Wow how heartfelt. I was teary as well. I am thrilled for you and your family and your bright future that lies before you. God Bless you from Australia and me. Love Fiona 🦘🙏

[@debbiethebeau1650]

Janey, you should have a disclaimer that says you will need tissue nearby when watching this video. I am in tears for you but happy for you at the same time. You have created such a beautiful, peaceful garden and I have loved watching every minute of your videos. Now on to your next adventure! I’m looking forward to the magic you create in your new garden. ❤

[@pat9604]

😢saying goodbye is such sweet sorrow. Thank you for the comprehensive tour.

[@rmhowell100]

❤❤❤My heart goes out to you. Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!! I have struggled with over 70 new plantings in my new gatden and so challenged by every fungus, disease and insect in the south!! But Janey, you are such an inspiration seeing the rewards of your perservearance!! It is certainly a journey and I can’t wait to see your success as a gradener!! Praying for abundant blessings for you and your family!! Always Let your light shine🙌🏻 ❤❤❤

[@car4dan]

Your garden is so beautiful! The new owners are so lucky to buy a house with a beautiful garden which is an added bonus.🙌🏼🌸 I can’t wait to see your new place and how you build your garden again. 🌸🌱

[@oneblockwonderwoman6833]

I also wanted to thank you again for recommending Mystic Spires Blue salvia. I found one and planted it in my California zone 8b garden where it is thriving and just beautiful and is absolutely covered in pollinators all day and is a favorite of the hummingbirds. I definitely need more of these. It's one of my all time favorites.

[@katiecandelario]

Teary eyed here!!!! Love that we can be a part of your journey. Beautiful. Inspiring.❤

[@debk2652]

I’m crying with you ,Janey. 💔Bravo for making your garden look fantastic and for taking us along for the ride. I’m sure your next garden will be just as beautiful, 🌻Wishing you and your family the very best in your new home. 🏡

[@Nithyalya]

I'm from INDIA I have been watching your channel for the past one year, and I'm feeling sad I can't see this Garden anymore, wishing you best for your New Home and New Bigger Beautiful Garden 🏡💞

[@CynthiaTidwell]

I am not crying....you are....I am crying. Knowing there will be a new garden is comforting but saying goodbye to the old is bittersweet. Love you Janey and Glad to get into the garden today. Love you.

[@pamelacarroll]

Oh, Janey, it is sad to leave a labor of love. Especially when it is as beautiful as your lovely garden. I will miss your garden, too, but I look forward to the beauty you will create at your new place.

[@shelleymolinaro5866]

Ahhh Janey! I am crying with you. You created such a beautiful garden. It is where you "cut your gardening teeth". You learned so much. Lots of successes and some failures but that makes us better and smarter. You have video documentation of this garden to bring with you into your new garden. I highly recommend a book I am reading now. "Uprooted A gardener reflects on beginning again" by Page Dickey. You may find some solace reading her transition from one garden to another. I know you were holding back those tears. I hope you have time and support to cry the Ugly cry for leaving your garden. You need to mourn it's loss. And delight in it's memory. Love you Lots Janey❤😘❤

[@marielyencasa]

Janey! I know it’s bittersweet, but we all have learned with you and I’m sure your new garden will be amazing!!! Saludos from zone 9 in Houston, TX!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@KimatRevAcres]

Great job Janie, You should be so proud to have establish a work of art in a short period of time. Saying good bye to the garden is hard the adventure ahead will open new opportunities.

[@Redeleiser]

I fully understand you. In the last 30 years I created 3 gardens, one was even in a magazine. It is hard to leave your creation, especially when you don’t know what the next owner gonna do with it.

[@redalert7777]

Janey, you should be so proud of all you have accomplished and learned in this garden, and made it so incredibly beautiful. You, and this yard you created gave me the gardening bug, and inspired me by your love and joy of gardening. I am crying along with you, and can only imagine the excitement, yet bittersweetness of leaving this place you and your family have worked so hard on. But excited for your new adventure, and to see what you will be able to do with much more room, to spread your wings! I'm sure it will be even more beautiful! ❤

[@annjohns9939]

Life is so full of ups and downs and we humans can be happy and sad at the very same time. Hang in there Jayne, you will enjoy developing new gardens.

[@missfizz2386]

We just moved out of state away from friends and family and all we've ever known and the only that made me tear up was leaving my garden. My dad has been watering the plants during the last week of escrow and when I told him yesterday that would be the last watering (since escrow is closing today) I cried again. So much time, love, effort and thought went into that garden.

[@SarahAllenQC]

I am so excited for your new videos at the new property ! You did an amazing job at this house !

[@darlenesmiles406]

😢oh my I’m 50 seconds in and I’m in tears . I have been here since about 2-3 months in.I know I don’t msg much but I’ve watched you come sooooofar and grow soooo much. Sorry I will come back and watch in the am

[@caroleking1834]

I am not crying you're crying l o l... We are all going to miss It Janey But it's been so beautiful, and we have enjoyed watching it grow so much. And we will be there with you to watch the new one Become beautiful and grow as well. Much love to you and your family and much luck with the move.

[@imeldacantu2437]

Janie, you're making me cry, lol, we've enjoyed gardening along side you, but we think of it as a new adventure for us as well, we can't wait to garden with you see what masterpiece you create at your new house

[@katexx3732]

Gonna miss your front garden sooo much 😢, it's so stunning, I hope the new owners continue to keep it as beautiful. But also happy your gonna have way more space to plant and can't wait to come along with you for your new journey and see how amazing you make your new space.

[@mdorn6592]

Just think, the new homeowners get to enjoy your 'labor of love'...and the neighborhood will continue to enjoy it! Great job!

[@traciarmstrong7318]

Boy did I feel this.... your emotions. We move tomorrow, from our home of over 23 years! Our homes aren't just buildings, we have soul ties to them in so many ways! I am closing a huge chapter of my life here, where I raised my children but am ready to move on after enduring a huge tragedy right next door, with my dear friends and neighbors of the 23 years here. So, this has pushed us to sell and move onto a new chapter and heal. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and your raw emotions. Wishing you much happiness in your new journey.

[@Da_BlackThumb]

Thank you as always for being so inspiring! I’m excited to watch your garden grow at your new home! I’ve learned so much from you and look forward to learning more 🥰.

[@kdshockley2016]

Janey, this may have been your home but taking us along to plant with you has given us so much joy. I have learned so much and enjoyed planting this beautiful garden with you and will miss it also but I’m so excited to watch you make a new house a home filled with love and flowers 😢.

[@deltonabf]

Can’t wait for the fun of you planning the new gardens and especially the expanded inventory you can plant! It’s like a rocket waiting on the launch pad. You “done good!” ❤

[@DzejlanJaylaHadziefendic]

Janey, you made me cry! It is bittersweet… I understand your mixed emotions. Off to new adventures in your new garden! I can’t wait to see how you transform your new home’s garden! Hang in there - you will make amazing your new garden(s)

[@msmaddox2918]

Awww Janey! 😢 I will miss your garden too, but I'm also excited to see what you do in your new one! I'm sure you learned so much from this garden and will always have great memories of this garden! 🥰

[@triciaklimko7027]

Janey!! You made me cry!! I understand all the emotions you are feeling. ** Bright side, you have tons of videos documenting all your beautiful gardens at this house.

[@NathalieFauchon]

Sending you hugs. You had me crying at the end too. Your garden will be in good hands. I'm sure the new "gardeners" will take great care of it.

[@evelynf.7762]

[@shirleywoll1328]

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

It is bittersweet indeed. But your new space will be bigger and better than ever! I know the tears. I left my garden 10 years ago, but have moved on to a new one, which I love dearly. You will too! Hugs to you!

[@sviatlanavolhina]

So sadly "Final". I will miss your garden . I wish you luck in your new journey.

Well, what an accomplishment Janey.. as a gardener you have grown so much here and it’s been wonderful watching your journey 💚 and I’m so looking forward to what’s next! I feel like I’ve grown as a gardener as well just learning from you. I’m so glad I got to see the beauty of your garden in person! So… is this what it feels like to be proud of your child and have to let them leave the nest? 🥹😭😂 🎉 Fly Janey! 🙌

[@marilynruggeberg]

Oh Janey, you have so much to be proud of!! Your garden, back and front is a wonderful labor of love. I’m glad the new owners are gardeners who can really appreciate what they have to work with. And now you can move on to the next garden adventure. I’m so glad I found your channel. Can’t wait to follow along with everyone else!

[@stellakasyan2347]

Awwww! Going to miss this garden too!!!

[@GardenLove.2022]

I didn’t finish this one the other day. Today I’m watching it from beginning again trying to take notes of what’s doing well in your garden, because I have a zone 9b garden as well (which is slightly smaller than your current/old garden). You made me cry in the end. I’m sure you’ll do even more wonderful things in your new garden. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Pdm_0607]

Witchita Blue Juniper is my all time favorite in your garden. I’m going to miss this garden but I’m excited for what you’ll bring to us from your new garden.

[@kacky1100]

oh Janey Sweetie you will make another beautiful garden at your new house just think of the fun you are going to have and how beautiful it will be in time

[@jessicacook8186]

I'm in Ohio, zone 6b, that Verbena is invasive and perennial here too! Even with harsh winters, it comes back and spreads. It's fairly easy to remove, though, and the pollinators love it.

[@amyjones2490]

I’m with you, the garden is the first thing I tackle in a new home. First I make a patio then surround it with beautiful plants then I turn my attention to the inside.
