The WALLED GARDEN Renovation FILLED With COLOUR.

[@taniakok4121]

I just love watching Patrick in his happy place- digging 😅

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. He’s funny 🥰

[@williambrown355]

I always worry that a spade may catch his paws. It never seems to happen. He looks so happy digging.

[@justinanovak8040]

[@dianavanderham3724]

Nothing better then a pup helping ❤

[@lorassorkin]

The fog in the garden is majestic and so cinematic! Your gardens will be breathtaking, well done all!

[@joannshupe9333]

I know everyone loves to watch Patrick digging with you, but that shot of him waiting until you picked up a trowel so he could take off like a rocket to help was priceless. Your editing of these films makes it such a joy to watch! 🤠💖🐾🌲🌷🌹

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. He is so funny 🥰🥰

[@maggieflatt9686]

Just adding the trees made a real statement. This garden is going to be a real showstopper for the Chateau. I can't wait to see it next spring and summer.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Maggie 🥰

[@KarenJones-ce2no]

Yeah, Patrick, 'digger extraordinaire' earning his keep 😊 x

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Karen 🥰

[@jbart5260]

I am in the United States so I really needed this incredible content. I am so excited for y'all.getting this beautiful walled garden planted

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@conniesamuelsen3078]

STUNNING doesn’t do the work justice!!! I often think back to the first days at La Lacelle and it’s hard to process the massive amount of work you’ve all done !!! 🎉🥰👏👏👏

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much!!

[@davidheaslip3714]

Credit where Credit is due. It just shows how team work makes the dream work

[@chateaudelalacelle]

It really does 🥰🥰

[@EthanLomas]

💯

[@lindadunnpeterson1480]

Thank you for giving the Chateau the gift of a garden. It will be her jeweled necklace! ❤❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

It will! Thanks Linda 🥰🥰

[@clairewright8153]

Aww that’s such a lovely way to think of the garden. Gardens are such special places and this one will give so much pleasure for years to come.

[@donnab8205]

What a beautiful description Linda!

[@mobmakeitsmall]

I can’t decide which of your projects are my favorite, but I am 100% in love with this garden! Bravo!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@zach16]

I will sometimes go back to the beginning. It was like a JUNGLE and this is soooo good

[@sherrylelee8274]

Lord Patrick is living his best life 😅He is absolutely adorable 🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He’s a funny puppy 🥰🥰

[@jbart5260]

Patrick is in his element when there is garden digging to be done.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He is 🥰🥰

[@barbarawagner1388]

Putting the finishing touches on the garden is as important as placing the furniture in a newly decorated room. This enormous outdoor room will have an enormous impact visible from most of the chateau's rooms. The wow factor is well worth the hard work and substantial expense!

[@maggiemaloney8599]

The garden will be glorious next spring. Thank you for being here today.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Maggie 🥰

[@maggiemaloney8599]

@chateaudelalacelle You represent all that is right with the world.

[@jlotoo850]

Patrick has so loved digging in that garden that someday, when he passes, you will have to bury him there somewhere; close to home in the space he loved...♥

[@melaniegardner7317]

Im so glad Patrick is showing you where to dig! ❤

[@LisaPontano]

The garden looks incredible, befitting the chateau, but that little puppy helping dig, is pure joy!

[@DebraCarey-r8c]

I just love Patrick's enthusiasm! Yet, he's so well trained he doesn't just randomly dig anywhere but follows his 'humans' in where to dig.

[@meredithlynn]

I sit here in pure joy to see your dream come to life. The life you have brought to the Chateau is beautiful. You’re brilliant❤😊thank you so much for sharing this incredible journey with us, peace and love to y’all

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Meredith 🥰

[@Rocklyn277]

Patrick is the best 4 legged gardener I’ve ever seen, he’s such a hard worker, bless that dear little man. Xx

[@UnicornPurple-ut8wf]

I’m celebrating with these hard working Brits…beautiful jardin

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Merci!! 🥰

[@peterwhite9261]

I thank God, especially today, that I live in Canada. That is all I will say about this. It is great to see all of the progress in the garden. Next year it will be worth all of the work as you will see a huge difference. It is like a movie setting, or it could be used for movies. It will be so nice for you all to enjoy. ❤

[@katehobbs2008]

You mean you can still claim some moral integrity. Agree.

[@barbarashapiro7499]

My only comment: I come to sites like this for relief from politics of any stripe and world events. Feelings are running high today in the US and around the world, but it would be nice to keep a focus on the spectacular work this family and friends are doing here on the buildings and grounds, even if the non-LaLacelle comments are subtle. Thank you.

[@EthanLomas]

Me too - now pretty boy can resign as trump despises him 😆

[@lydiaajohnson]

I would like to see a sculpture of Patrick on the grounds. It must be of him digging a hole helping the family develop the land. Or, it could be of him standing on his hind legs and standing tall. Patrick is a wonderful soul never to be diminished or dismissed.

[@eaccristo]

Or rolling a egg 😂

[@cheeryla]

Now there's an idea!! ❤

[@amayastrata4629]

Get carving!

[@pinkvolo]

All I can say is, thank God for Patrick 🤭 Such a good little worker 🩵

[@SherylTaggart-hl5zk]

The cottage is my favorite. I can't wait to see the out side totally finished and Tracy having her very own beautiful landscape area. All of you are skilled at many things but there is only one Tracy.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Us too! 🥰

[@lizellis4286]

Need a little beauty in my American life today…Thanks guys!

[@wendyyoung1897]

My thoughts are with our American friends today😢🇨🇦

[@marybath49]

Plants! Plants! Plants! So exciting!

[@EthanLomas]

❤

[@patriciaannebisang1684]

Patrick is a stitch. I just can’t get enough of his antics……😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He’s hilarious 🥰

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

Y'all are going to need a full-time gardening staff to maintain all those plants - that's a lot of trimming, fertilizing, spraying for insects, and weeding! It's looking so beautiful, and I can only imagine how gratifying it must be for you to see the plantings in the garden beginning to fill it out. Patrick is having the time of his life out there digging with you! Can't wait for the reveal on the name plaque!

[@karenbrindley7170]

Great episode. Graphics, editing, Subject, music....all well done. Loved seeing Warren in a few shots along with Shayne. The new yews are a nice addition. Shayne can really stack the plants. ❤❤❤

[@jerrygunderson2516]

Hey guys, the lead-in with the drone approaching the chateau through the dense fog was great. It made the viewer feel the atmosphere and feel like a part of the site. But it also highlighted the moss growing on the small roofline over the dormer on the top window of the tower. You could have sprayed that when Terry painted the wood white, but you should put that on your long list of to-do's for the future. Keep the lead-in, but get rid of the moss. s Ash, your work on the walled garden is amazing. I have a long-range suggestion for the future. You should find someone to help you layout a computer grid of the garden identifying the plantings by name if they put the mouse on each planting area, and then add a cross-reference to an index showing the characteristics of the plant - such as varietal name, why that variety instead or another was chosen for this environment, time of blooming, color of the flowers, etc. Then you could take the software to someone who has a large-format color printer and print out a glass-covered display at the garden entrance for visitors - to answer their questions on what the heck is that rose and why did you choose it. Or, you could print a smaller handout which might be folded in a brochure to sell to visitors so they could carry it as they walk through the garden. Visitors always want to know what they are looking at and why it is there, and you can not afford to staff and train human guides.

[@wendybacon9015]

To walk leisurely through your walled garden taking in all the splendor of sights and smells will without a doubt entice all ones senses with color, sound and fragrance. It is beautiful to see it unfolding after the original wall fell and Terry's heart broke into pieces. A garden only fitting to the splendor of the rooms you are recreating within the chateau itself.

[@jlebo001]

The ending shots showing the before and after of the walled garden view of the Chateau is MINDBLOWING! The amount you've all accomplished in the short time you've been at Lalacelle is staggering!

[@aprillanders8018]

I surely love that little dog. He surely gives you100% of his time!! He makes me smile!!!😊 the guy that does your garden, he’s got a voice of a public speaker!! That garden is surely taking place. WOW!!! When I pop in to see you all I do want to see this garden. You all did a truly amazing job even your biggest help darlin little dog!! Too cute!!❤. Keep up with everything. You all are a truly amazing family!! Lots of love from Tennessee ❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. We adore Patrick 🥰🥰

[@naomiweber3006]

It’s so fun to see Lord Patrick getting stuck in for the job at hand. Bless him. ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Naomi 🥰

[@edwardulrich1515]

What a transformation 👏! You'll have some well-deserved color over an otherwise dreary winter. Patrick, as usual, was digging in to help with the holes 🕳. There's nothing better than a four season garden. 🎉

[@SuzanneRutter-f6n]

I am really enjoying watching you fill in the walled garden. It’s already nice looking garden. I think it will be beautiful when you’re finished.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@fabianfannycorrie1325]

What a stunning garden. Can't wait for spring 2025. The garden has transformed the Chateau's surroundings. Congratulations.

[@melaniegardner7317]

A name plaque is perfect! ❤

[@andreminott4134]

The walled garden should be named "❤JARDIN De TRACY❤" She deserves the honor for the work and dedication she has put into the "DREAM." She has been an inspiration to many of us for he hard work, dedication and sophisticatingly wearing "many hats" as the matriarch, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, tractor driver, construction worker, painter, interior designer, gardner....... GOD BLESS HER! Doc-the architect.

[@sharonspencer6486]

I love seeing Patrick helping out with the digging! Thank you soooooo much for sharing these wonderful videos.😊❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@sherrycampbell6957]

Seriously…Patrick needs his own video! He is so stinking adorable ☺️

[@escapetorural]

Absolutely breathtaking garden! The clever arrangement of trees and vibrant colors make it irresistibly beautiful. Truly a paradise that’s both charming and wonderfully designed! 🌿🌸😍

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you very much! 🥰

[@lorelebeverland5585]

The walled garden is amazing. It will be such a delight to watch it over the next few seasons. It is such a dramatic change from the area when you started it. I had would have never guessed anything this beautiful could transform that space. You have worked so incredibly well as a team to accomplish this feat.

[@redbird9658]

You should put something in the garden to honour patrick after all his hard work digging.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@jimm8682]

It is a stunning looking garden, lots of work on your part, Are you planning on having lamp posts for lighting in the garden , so that you can see and enjoy it in the evenings?

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Can’t wait to see the final result. The garden will be amazing next spring when the plants have settled in and flowering. The choice of plants is ideal for low maintenance but will still be spectacular. Glad you’re naming the garden for posterity. This is your family contribution to the Chateau and your legacy for the future. Well done on planning and establishing the new garden and many congratulations to Shane on his design and execution! 👏🏻👏🏻🥰 🪻🌹🌷🌸🌲🌳

[@teepeeX]

How nice it's going to be promenading around the garden chatting away 😊 just like people did years ago 😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

It will be amazing 🥰🥰

[@sarahwade1120]

The garden is beautiful. Think back to what it was when you first moved in. Amazing! You should all be so proud!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Ash, you’ll have enough pots for starting garden seeds for years! That’s what I keep mine for, plus growing herbs in the kitchen over winter. Been hoping you & Patrick find some old coins while digging in the garden. Maybe one day. I’m sure there’re all kinds of amazing finds on the property

[@EllenDugan-o2v]

Oh my goddess!! The garden is becoming absolutely enchanting! LOVED the episode!!! 🌲🌹

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Ellen 🥰

[@marilizevandermerwe8343]

I love your choice of plants. There are 2 plants I really want to recommend, if it's possible and suitable to your region, and if possible to get hold of in France. You will not be disappointed. The one is Day lilies "Hemerocallis". "All parts of the daylily are edible. The tender foliage can be eaten as a spring green. The buds and flowers can be eaten raw or in soups. The swollen portions of the root can be boiled and eaten. " We normally plant them not too far from Agapanthus. The original field plant has an orange flower. Beautiful with the purple of the Agapanthus. Then these days there are so many Colours of flowers, but I specifically thought of the deep yellow for your garden. They multiply and you can divide them after each season. They die down a bit, but not totally in winter, but their growth are vigorous in spring and they flower for months on end. Then the other one is a shrub, or rambler, that you can train as a hedge, or you can let it loosely fall over that gorgeous garden wall or you can trim it in a stiff square or rectangular bush of any height or shape. Thus looking informal or formal. It is called Plumbago "Auriculata". One get a light blue variety who's flowers shine like fairy lights in the dark. Or the dark blue/purple is also gorgeous. They grow fast and you can also divide them to make them more, just like the day lilies. Both need very little water and caring , are inexpensive and keep weeds away. It will look gorgeous with those formal "Yews"...spelling?....that can be planted in front of it. Just saying, worth a consideration. Best wishes with your beautiful garden.

[@susanmetzelar549]

Sir Patrick looks so proud of his hard workers working like bumblebees. You guys surprise us everytime with all you do. Love it

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Susan 🥰

[@EthanLomas]

Thank you for using his correct title 🤗 😆

[@BCRaspberries]

Beautiful garden design, kudo to you all for bringing someone in that has the talent.

[@3_3645]

Wouldn't it be great to add on an indoor/ outdoor green house you could start early garden vegetables and when it's cold out a little bit of spring You must be in a different zone, having plants in bloom now is beautiful. And I love blue and white garden beds

[@chateaudelalacelle]

That's a great idea!

[@lindagage7315]

The garden is going to look so beautiful! Well done everyone

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you Linda 🥰🥰

[@susanharris8406]

Gosh, that was a beautiful filmed and edited video. The music was perfect, well done.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you very much! 🥰

[@pamelahaskell809]

The Yews are a great asset to the garden. Patrick makes me laugh and smile everytime I see him in the garden "helping". That's what I was thinking of how in 1 year you have transformed this wee infested and then mud pit into such a stunning garden. You have a lot to be proud of for sure.

[@juliawraith6045]

I think the garden is going to look fabulous when it is finished. You can see it all coming together now with the new planting.

[@patricianewton4922]

Patrick is so reagal, I just love that little guy and I see he really loves the shovel!! 😆

[@charmees6637]

Magical, mystical drone shot of the Chateau. I thought the garden was fantastic before Shane came and he’s just taken the formal garden to next level. Glorious 🙌🤩

[@DShaimaaHam]

It’s warm here in New England, 76f/24c. Not common this time a year. I feel in my element watching this. My Uncle and my Dad were Horticulturists/Landscapers. I miss helping out. All of us had worked with them and loved being outdoors. This has literally made my day.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🥰

[@andreastevens4987]

Yes I think Patrick is having the time of his life…🇨🇦👍

[@marybullock5146]

I agree wholeheartedly with Shane keeping weeds to a minimum by having lots of plants. I’ve attempted to do that in both the gardens I have put together with my generous husband. I point to where the tree or bush needs to go and he digs the hole. Then I go around with the plants filling in the gaps. I’ve really enjoyed watching your garden coming together. It’s lovely looking at the plants and agreeing with your choices. 😊

[@donnaryan9365]

Watching the planting of the trees and bushes. Was waiting to see the removal of the wire around the burlap conical shrubbery. Love the progress out there
