I made a garden that made rain...misters in the trees the water coalesced on the leaves and came down in drops..I left areas that stayed dry, so that you could sit in it...a tin roof made music...

[@diamondslashranch]

What a lovely idea!

[@beverley1539]

That sounds fabulous do share. 🇨🇦🐝

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Sounds delightful!

[@jomeyer13]

how long would it rain. by a button? a pump?

[@charleswalker1185]

@@jomeyer13 it would be fed by the watering system...with an in line valve for turning it off or on,..

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

I’ve watched a few other videos of Chelsea, but your interviews were different, Stephanie. I appreciated how each of your guests had such a meaningful and positive purpose in mind. As always, you focus on the good in humanity and make us see kindness in the world. ❤🌸

[@beverley1539]

Yes me too, the access Stephanie was able to bring to us made a much more pleasant difference. Blessings 🇨🇦🐝

[@beiderbecke1927]

I've watched most of the BBC coverage of the show, and though it was great, your ability to really connect with the creators of these gardens and displays makes me wish you could devote hours to covering the show. Meanwhile, here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I think of you every day as I walk through my garden and think, "Stephanie would absolutely love these huge yellow peonies and lupines." I always enjoy the informed and enlightened input of Davy, he is so gifted. Thanks!

[@joannedavidman6773]

Thank you for once again takiing me to the Chelsea flower show. Such beauty. I really appreciated the designers reason for the garden, and how exciting that so many are being donated and donated to those who deserve it.

[@sarsha6]

What a wonderful talent you have talking to people and making us feel like we are there with you. Thank you for taking me to places I'll never visit on my own but how I love seeing them with you.

[@meemawpdx2986]

Stephanie, you meet the most interesting people.

[@Chateaulady]

Thank you for taking us along! Excellent content (as usual). Excellent interviewing by Step. Excellent cinematography by Phillip. ❤from🇨🇦🦚💐🪻🌷

[@ellenoconnor601]

I’ve watched other Chelsea Flower Show Presenters and you bring a different perspective which is very joyful and brings out the joy in others. Hope you make this an annual tradition.

[@cct2513]

Thank you again to bring in the intimacy of the designers, that the big tv shows leave out.

[@andreacatzel8259]

Oh that was simply divine! Thank you for taking us with you. Your descriptions and Philip’s filming were enchanting and the brilliant garden designers and their gardens are so inspirational. You are both rainbows! ❤

[@elleeg.9413]

It is wonderful to hear from the creators in the interviews. Thanks for the look at the gardens and the inspiration that brought them to be.

[@EEN63]

I expected to see all sorts of beautiful flowers and foliage from the Chelsea flower show but what a delight to feel all the love so many put into their designs to enhance the lives of those less fortunate! Great backstories from the designers and so many loving and giving hearts! Fabulous! 💗💗💗

[@samanthaobertelle4966]

Absolutely beautiful gardens and you are so Incredibly elegant sitting amongst the flower's ❤..you are a fantastic speaker, you hold the persons attention whilst speaking ..maybe itv should have you as their new presenter ...😊..I think you would be fantastic on the sofa interviewing people ...😊❤

[@kathyevans2968]

I’ve watched other programs on The Chelsea Flower Show but this was by far the best. You bring such joy and appreciation in your questions to all the designers and in describing their amazing gardens. My grandmother gradually went blind and missed seeing her garden. I can imagine her listening to this and imagining being there, enjoying it just as much as me being sighted. I was particularly touched by the uplifting & inclusive RHS Eastern eye community garden with Manosh(?) getting married there & the moving connection to his mother’s wedding dress, poetry, rainbows & his grandmother! Definitely a hug from nature for the children it’s going to bring joy to.

[@maryaldenpoole4134]

Thank you for your in-depth interview with Monosh! We watched all the episodes from the BBC and never heard his amazing garden story. He and his garden was a gift to all of us!

[@melindaduncan3073]

I love the container garden. I turned my garden into container gardens. I mixed flowers and vegetables together. It’s so pretty!

[@marshawargo7238]

Have you heard of the three sisters? I only just heard a few weeks ago. Corn, beans & zucchini. The corn has tall sturdy stalks for the beans to climb & the zucchini covers the ground to keep the roots cooler also helps keep the water from the hot sun. I watched a video about what was eaten at the first Thanksgiving & the things & ideas that were likely shared by the Indians & Pilgrims!

[@lovereikiASMR222]

Thank you so much Stephanie! This video is fabulous on every level. ❤ Much love and gratitude, xx

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Your sunglasses go perfect with the dress you bought at the flower show.

[@tydanum]

Wonderful to be at the Chelsea Flower Show with you, well done 🇬🇧

[@robertbuckler9103]

Thank you for the time you spent with Manoj Malde.

[@lynnstarr8573]

The depth of compassion shown with our world, has been moving. It was truly a spiritual dance. Thank You!

[@christinebrown2765]

Love your Chelsea visits Stephanie and listening to the designers' stories about their gardens. It is so wonderful that the gardens will be transplanted in places where they will benefit groups of people in need of healing mentally and physically or experiencing a garden with all 5 senses

[@CamelliaTaylor-m4g]

Thank you so much for coming to see the garden Stephanie. It was so lovely to talk to you. You’ve captured it beautifully Thank you, @thegardentaylor

[@GrandTourofEurope]

It was such a pleasure! We had a great time meeting you and I absolutely loved your garden 🍃

[@AniaBumba]

I love gardens and the Chelsea flower show is such a delight. You are good at this, Stephanie. You seem natural at presenting and talking to people.

[@luluandmeow]

The pink in the rainbow garden is such a beautiful shade. Congratulations to the lovely designer on his wedding, I really enjoyed listening to him

[@Jane-3229]

Dearest Stephanie this video was fantastic ❤ thank you so so much for sharing your amazing visit x

[@nancyperry1378]

Love the Unity garden and all so beautiful

[@DixyDo43]

The Indian garden was so inspirational and so inclusive. They thought of everything and everyone. So beautiful and colorful. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@susanmiller5035]

Followed you over from the FABULOUS Chateau Diaries!! ❤Love to all! So great to see Davey! Great editing and music BTW

[@wellnone9367]

Stephanie, such a treat to 'go' to the Chelsea Flower Show, and see those superb gardens - how they make them look so natural I don't know. And lots of happy gardeners out and about, chatting and enjoying themselves. Lovely. Thank you.

[@melissmalek9855]

Incredible coverage of the Flower Show! I was captivated from beginning to end.

[@gemstonesparkle7915]

Wow, the unity garden is beautiful! I love this combination, red, orange and yellow, so sunny 🌞

[@mariezumwalt893]

Thank you Stephanie for being a rainbow

[@karleinegraham446]

Stephanie - great vlog on the Chelsea Flower Show. At 28 mins in, I learnt something. I went to a Catholic wedding where an AfricanCaribbean married with IndianCaribbean, and there was a table filled with photos of deceased family members and friends ( including my sister in law, the groom's godmother). Now I understand that all these deceased people are blessing the newly wed. It's like chanting, " All you holy men and women, pray for us". This interview alone is what sets Stephanie apart from the rest!! Thanks.🎉

[@sharonadlam3195]

I really loved Rosemary's garden. Home really does tug at the heart strings, I'm originally from New Zealand and I spied the garden in the opening shots and immediately knew it must be a Kiwi based garden. 😊😊😊

[@marielcalder103]

Thank you one and all. Magnificent! ☺️💕

[@PNWGardener]

What a lovely tour of the Chelsea Garden! I'm a landscape designer in the Pacific Northwest and I hope someday to visit it.

[@maggieedberg574]

Amazing, thank you 😊

[@catherinesloan4955]

So beautiful thank you so much. It was very special seeing the New Zealand inspired garden, and yet the final garden, the garden of unity, really stole my heart, and such an inspiration to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud is beautiful take-away. Thank you again.

[@irenemulcahy2495]

Oh Stephanie this was absolutely fabulous. Thank you for this beautiful video as I would never get the opportunity to visit. My absolute favourite part would have to be the Multi cultural/faith garden and its agenda. His saying of" look for the rainbow in others" is beautiful. ❤🧡💛🙏

[@marshawargo7238]

& Be a rainbow in other people's clouds! What sentiment !!!

[@sely7420]

I enjoyed this tour of the Chelsea gardens very much! Thank you for your interviews and the great camera work to show us another perspective of these interesting and lovely gardens. 💗

[@sandicarpenter2658]

That was wonderful! For those of us who will never get to the Chelsea Flower Show, it was a marvellous tour and insight to what goes on. Thank you. Sandi x

[@lasanimasaussies]

Thanks to another KZbin channel,I have been able to watch all 14 episodes of the BBC’s coverage of RHS Chelsea for three years now. It’s an amazing show.

[@ClaraBurnetttheGenuine]

Lovely to see all our old friends😎

[@caroljuniper5100]

This was an absolute joy, well done Stephanie and Phillip. Even a peak view of Monty!

[@meyon3682]

There are so many beautiful things about this video...but how most of the designers talk about donating their work after the show probably tops it all. thanks for sharing this with us Stephanie

[@lisaakinlabi]

*SIGH* I miss gardening so much! The creative side of gardening was my favorite and I adore that you showed us how creative one can get, even in a very small space. Each vignette was delightful. The sights and sounds, along with scents must have been so enjoyable. Such a blessing for you to have the access you get so that you may share all of this. Thank you!

[@Marykguise]

WOW!!! Absolutely spectacular!!! The gardens and stories behind them are amazing and it is so moving to know they are being donated!! So beautifully filmed and narrated as always Stephanie and Philip!! Thank you so much!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗🤗

[@tinacarrol6702]

Wonderful Stephanie. Love Chelsea. Xx 🌺💮🌸🌼🌻💐🌷🌻🌼

[@claudineretif2790]

Stephanie to the rescue! I needed this this morning and you, as usual, provided! I thought I'd say thanks for all you do. By the way, as you always do, keep your chin up, carry on, and all these vlogs will help you accumulate the funds you need for all your restoration works. All the best from outside NYC!

[@marshawargo7238]

Amazing how all of these 3 week old gardens look so much longer established! Amazingly Beautiful, All of them! I am in awe!!! Thank You for taking the time to bring us along!

[@englishrose4388]

I enjoyed this, thank you.

[@CarolChillsCasually]

Beautiful gardens with wonderful thought put in!!

[@everydayelle]

I absolutely adored Manoj's vision for the Garden of Unity! It turned out gorgeous - but the storied layers from his own life that he weaved through the project, and the message he's conveying at large were truly remarkable. Awestruck! 💖

[@SouthernArtist77]

He quoted Maya Angelou, my favorite poet and she’s from my state. I’m in hospital now and that made me tear up. The Indian Garden is my favorite. Saving this one. He’s very spiritual.

[@DamsonElvira1212]

Love the idea of the edible/foraging garden for the schools. Food doesn’t only come plastic wrapped, but hopefully the kids will be actively taught also that some plants that look similar in the wild (ie for foraging) might not be the right ones (and toxic). They must be 100% sure before nibbling anything.

[@gloriaveronicagonzalezgarz1271]

Beautiful video, thankyou so much

[@monicabuck8195]

Wow! Being a avid watcher, really loved this one. I’m handicapped and can’t travel. So I watch all your channels. You all are such lovely people with so many skills and interests. I don’t know how many others are interested in this particular show but wow! If you decided to do more videos on the Chelsea flower show go for it! One like this one, back stage access to gardens, maybe just one where all of you walk around and talk about which ones you love or maybe the most crowded places. One about merchant and food! That bacon sandwich (no catchup but mayo) yum! Please overnight me one of those! Just thought you might have so much footage you could do part 1,2,3…thank you for creating and doing all the work! You all Rock! From Oklahoma USA (I’m a Okee)

[@carolweaver3269]

Wow Stephanie you are moving so quickly I cannot keep up with any live chats. LOL Love flowers and we have run out of room as we live in a rural village and do not now have even our two acres. My husband is now getting upset, and we are growing a little older and I keep wanting more and more and more plants! Take out my hose to water and he is upset over water bills! He is worried about my using too much of that lovely water so he will use a water pot and flower them! lol That is funny to me as you never could water everything with that. I must make sure my new babies stay moist. Some must have that too . LOVE flowers. Love herbs too. Guess it is time I do end it though. and must be thankful I can watch "you"! I will pretend whatever you have I am enjoying as well and that will be the flowers for the Sumer (besides what I have at home, of course as of yet anyway) I will need to settle down on water use, and try to be more understanding of the environment too. That can be very hard. Loved watching this visit to the Chelsea Garden! Thank you!! What a grand European trip!

[@sarisaf]

Delightful

[@xandrad3989]

This production (filming and interviews) is every bit as good, if not better, than the BBC coverage - well done team.

[@cheryldingley4546]

Magnificent thank you. Your interviews really bring the gardens to life. They were all special. The unity garden and interview was just heart warming and beautiful - “Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud”.

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Lovlies Thankyou for sharing truly . I for one have never been and probably won’t in my life therefore a wee peek into Chelsea is appreciated . I had wondered what happens to the gardens after the shows are over and was delighted that they are transported to places where all can enjoy for seasons to come. Take care Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

[@thatswhatilike_]

What a beautiful human Manoj Malde is! Absolutely stunning garden and with such meaning. You can tell he has a huge heart and adores what he does! And that quote from Maya Angelou is saved in my phone as it’s so special. Huge congrats to him on his wedding ❤ Stephanie I’ve never been to the Chelsea flower show but I’ll go next year for sure! Thank you for a wonderful video it’s made my day xx

[@brittneyemerson2079]

So many inspirational tidbits in each garden!

[@helenstella2666]

I’m so looking forward to this Stephanie 🌸🥰

[@marthaabrahamson6813]

Very enjoyable thank you

[@marybeshay8504]

Beautiful

[@irisfulkerson6968]

Beautiful gardens

[@endeavouringit]

Great vlog !! 💖

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

The East Indian garden is my favorite!!! Wow!

[@bethanya99]

So many wonderful gardens, but I think what I love most of all is that each garden is for more than just beauty. They have a purpose, a message, or perspective that is so fun to discover. My particular favorite was the children's foraging garden. I love to forage and I teach my friends kids about plant identification, safety, and conservation, and we get to sample different plants on our nature walks while also finding cool bugs and animals. They would have LOVED that garden!

[@hsimpson6581]

I would love to have a ton of those glossy green blocks they’re beautiful!

[@geniawheddon7402]

They line the underground public lavs in london. I wdn,t chose them

[@jeanieallison4899]

That was just so lovely, I didn’t want it to end! Thank you for this beautiful offering to us- you both ( and Davey too!) did such an amazing, thoroughly professional job! Well done! 🙏🏻

[@rablatour]

I love the way you take us on these journeys.

[@kerryharding5587]

Fabulouso. Thank you Steph, Philip and Davey. 🌟🧡

[@barbaragreen-studer2808]

Wonderful video! Blew me away, got goose bumps just as Stephanie was saying it and so inspiring! I watched a couple of videos about this year’s Chelsea Garden show ( sadly I couldn’t go in person) but yours exceeds those in beauty and depth of understanding.

[@aleta5873]

I loved the interview with "Manush" and his connection with his paternal Grandmother. I believe in spirit guides, if we can pay attention to their guidance. And I absolutely loved the Flower show.

[@carolinegooder7091]

I wish I could garden again. Thank you! I loved all of the gardens and the thought processes behind them. Wonderful that all the gardens are going to public spaces soon. Will more drought proof plants make their way to Lalande? I see Pavlina creating magic in the herbal garden, and creating more pots of flowers on the terrace.while Maria brings in more wild flowers into the house. A mushroom shed would work at Lalande also.❤

[@luluandmeow]

I look forward to visiting the urban garden once it's been moved to Markfield Park in Tottenham, where they already have gorgeous plants near the cafe, it's a great park to visit near the canal. Stephanie is such an articulate, interesting presenter, love her positivity always x

[@joyabell4420]

Thanks Stephanie for taking us into the gardens, and letting the designers speak about their gardens. I am in France so missed watching it at home. My gardens are my haven, but I live to share them with other people.

[@mariannewinkelman7255]

Thank you again for taking us the flower show, loved every second of it.❤

[@juliajoplin4238]

Thanks 🙏🏾 ❤This was magnificent and so inspiring! So much beauty and so much thought behind every single plant 🪴🎍🎋🪸🪷🪻🌾🌷🌺🍄giving us such calmness and invigoration…and Such great ideas! Loved it!💚

[@afolsom685]

Wow! Wow! Wow! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💓💓💓

[@Vidachoi]

❤❤❤I was a Korean woman who was at the Chelsea Flower Show. The United Kingdom is truly an amazing and stunning country. It was an honor for me to be able to attend the flower show this time. I also uploaded a video of the flower show on my channel. Would you like to watch it together? It was truly a dream come true.

[@rosewright4605]

I've been married to a Dutchman for 34 years and have never felt the need to learn Dutch... funny that. 😊🌷

[@stacykilchenmann5223]

Excellent!

[@stephaniewaters4931]

You do such a great job editing & presenting information! The gardens were glorious! ❤

[@MrDiasJoana]

I couldn’t make again this year, never been… thank you for taking us there! It was amazing ❤

[@debkendall]

Did you see the mushroom exhibition - with mushrooms growing from jeans? - very cool must be a place in your garden

[@lorrainel2314]

Thank you for the fantastic tour. Loved everything 💖 Great to see Davey again 🥰

[@edwardulrich1515]

Stephanie, I enjoyed the gardens and each unique purpose. Philip, you did an excellent job on camera. Davey, good to see you immersed with new inspirations.
