Dear Dan, Im sure for many of us watching....it doesnt matter what you are doing...WE WANT TO WATCH 🥰 Hugs💞

[@Lemma01]

I took a look at my garden today, and also have about 2,000 new plants. Unfortunately, they mostly seem to be weeds....❤

They're free, though 😄

[@LordBurberryGB]

Yes, "Dan the gardener" with his cheeky original smile was great fun and it has been a journey, a pleasure and an honour watching "Dan the Gardner" become "Dan the Chateau owner" and Jack of all trades ! Learning as you move forward, automating processes and achieving what many thought was unachievable. After what felt forever on the roof, we are getting back into the garden just in time for spring !!!

[@thenodiggardener]

Some of us are interested in the plants. Watching Nick manage the trees and landscaping is a favourite part of this for me.

[@elainewolf1537]

I very much like watching the gardening parts of videos! 🌻🌲🥀😊

[@Sanyey]

I personally skipped through the gardening episodes entirely (just like this one).. Only gardening I personally was interested in is the plants growing inside the ruin 😂

[@annettewalter2273]

A lovely garden will be such an important part of the chateau.

[@karlanorvell9573]

Those of us who have 'known' you before you were a vlogger or owned a chateau, think of you as 'Dan the Gardner' still. It feels like we are the 'old friends' vs all your new subscribers, who are the 'new friends'. Good to see a glimpse of Kat too.

The memorial stone at the start of the video reads: In this place from 1940 to 1945 families and hundreds of Jewish children were taken in and hidden. In recognition of the people of Creuse who helped them and saved them in the struggle for the liberation of France and against racism and antisemitism. It was commissioned by the Children’s Aid Society for the site at Chateau de Chaumont.

[@SparkesRec]

I think I remember at one point Philip from "How to Renovate a Chateau" had mentioned that he regretted not starting on their gardens from the beginning, so to me it makes sense that the garden work would take place now alongside the work being done on the building. I love the gardening content!

[@skdoremi6666]

Well... Philip came way later....Stephanie did actually worked on her garden...and Dan was I think her first Gardner since her youtube started. Philip was restoring old furniture....
