We miss you! Hope you are doing well, Gemma. Thinking of you.

I have been a Montessori teacher for 40 years and am so impressed with your thoughtful organization for practical life outdoor environment for your children!!! Kudos to you and your husband!!!👶🥰👍😁👩‍🎨😊

[@TheHiddenGem]

Aww Diane! that's a huge compliment. Thank you so much x

@@TheHiddenGem I worked at Princeton Montessori School in Princeton, New Jersey USA in the 90’s who also have an infant toddler-Elementary program and Princeton Center for Teacher Education where I taught art for one class for teachers. A very visionary school. Check it out if you have time with managing your lovely family. Diane

Gemma! Where have you been? Miss you!

Gemma♡ thinking about you !

Your vision is simply brilliant. That space can be used in so many ways. Any child would be incredibly happy to play in this backyard. I also love the fact that you use budget things and construction leftovers. Mom's brain + daddy's hands + lots of love = smth really beautiful and engaging!

[@otiendeogola9594]

I love the garden make over. Its a hundred million better than swings. L would love to have it. Its functional and self educative.

[@kristyeverheart4461]

Might want to add a tag for “back yard” to help your reach! The US calls it a yard instead of a garden.

[@AnnKann123]

When are more videos coming! Miss them so much

[@nappynatty10]

Really you have videos that is worth my time watching. Outstanding!!! Such lucky children.

[@debbielong8087]

Love the children’s garden! I would definitely extend for 4 growing boys! More running room! Thanks for the video!

[@TheHiddenGem]

Yes I think we’re pretty much set on making it bigger. No point keeping unusable mud anyway

[@loriwilliams2167]

Love seeing your family and all that you are doing. The boys are growing so fast 💗 Great play area!

[@TheHiddenGem]

Thanks so much Lori. Can't believe they're 2 in April and Oscar is 5 in the summer!

[@sallymay5272]

So perfect and not a huge amount of space, you really are very clever. Every home should have this! My kids are a bit older but I’ve still taken some great ideas from this - I know the bucket with the pulley would be a huge hit.

[@nataliesmith2458]

Wow what a great space for your boys, they’re going to have many hours of fun x

[@courtneygilmore9771]

Your boys are so adorable! I love this play space!

[@TracyHRodriguez]

How incredible. You're amazing parents. Love seeing these ideas!

[@kimlawson8966]

Such a great space with amazing details! Love the cubby house and transparent roof is genius! Would your husband consider sharing his plans for building it? 😊

[@TheHiddenGem]

Thank you. Yes the roof definitely makes the cubby more inviting as it’s not got that dark spider-web feel you can get

[@mothermarie6057]

Happy Mother’s Day 🥰☀️🌈🦋🦋

[@jnhosier3]

The rock food is genius!

[@pollyrb8375]

I’m SOOO excited to watch this! We’re going to do something similar inspired by your lovely space. 😁

[@pamelacarey2460]

I just Love it!

[@kishakisha17]

Love the fairy lights idea

[@sarahjay3045]

Jamie is a superstar builder !! Looks fab, and such a great space for the boys.

[@TheHiddenGem]

He’s alright 🤪 no we’re very lucky that he can bring my ideas to life.

[@leilamauro9164]

How wonderful! What a great space to encourage movement and imagination. I was thinking about creating a little tree house for my two in our garden and applaud at the amount of spaces and activity areas you have created in yours. This has definitely inspired but sadly I don’t have an architect husband! HA ha!

[@Hitogata]

This is so amazing!!! My son would looove playing in a place like this!! (he's the same age as the triplets) I wish I had a backyard to do something like this! 🤩

[@kathrynburden8501]

That looks fantastic!! Great to see you and your gorgeous boys, they are going to have such fun in that garden, well done to you both and your little helper 😍

[@TheHiddenGem]

Thank you 😊 it’s definitely changed our daily lives for the better

[@christinathorsen4274]

Gemma! I get so excited to see your videos 😊🌈 This is brilliant my dear. So creative & what a delight for your boys to enjoy! 💙💙💙💙 Your hubbie is talented to have built something so awesome! So great to see you and the boys! ❤ Love & hugs!

[@seaony1]

I love this so much! So many good ideas! I love the practical roof so the light can come in. Brilliant. I hope to use this as inspiration for my children some day!

[@abigaelmacritchie1365]

Great space, lots of inspo to make our own set up! I can't believe the triplets are 20 months old 😱

[@TheHiddenGem]

Neither can I - I’m a little in denial about their looming birthday 🙈

Yay you have your comments section back again! And love what you did with your garden 😄

[@Lupe2801]

You look so good, the garden looks so good - very beautiful!

[@otiendeogola9594]

I would love to have something like that too.thanks. Please share more ideas on toddlers group

[@phuongphan-mcmanamna3781]

Great play area. Yes, expansion is a good idea. Kinda small for 4 kids, esp. when they get older. You should consider a gravel area/pit in the expanded area for a different place surface than the mulch. Also, maybe a water wall. You can also paint the fence under the playhouse with chalkboard paint. Your boys are so lucky to have such a fun play space year round. Can you do a separate video on Tuff tray ideas as I play to get one soon for my kids? It’s very hard to get and expensive in the US but I think it’s worth it. I plan to get the stand for it too.

[@phuongphan-mcmanamna3781]

*as I plan

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Brilliant backyard!!!! I would most definitely expand!!!! It is so functional now for you and your growing boys!!! It’s an investment for yourself, too, as it will keep you sane 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheHiddenGem]

Thank you 😊 Yes I think we’re set on making it bigger now but with lots more planters so we can have a jungle of fruit and veg too

[@sandraengstrand2784]

@@TheHiddenGem It will be lovely!! And the planters also create play spaces!!

[@mick9685]

Thank you for the inspiration!

It looks great! Fab idea with the wood chips our garden gets so muddy in winter too that I don’t like the girls out there 🙈 maybe we’ll do this too! 💕

[@bethburleson6684]

I absolutely love it Gemma. Gave me so many good ideas for our play area!

Did you end up moving the planters over and extending the space? It looks so great.

The home build for them is SO beautiful! We want to start building one ourselves too this year, so this gave some great ideas! I would love to add some cute lightning, but im afraid it will attract spiders 🤣 Thanks for sharing!

[@yousiftaraf8102]

thanks alot

Fantastic video, thank you for giving me lots of inspiration for how to improve my garden for my little one. If you see this, please can I ask where the toddlers suits are from? They look so warm for the lovely weather we have 🤣

[@robertabozzolan206]

Wow! Such a lovely back garden for your boys to play!! You gave me some great ideas for my boys, 3.5 and 1 yo, thank you! I also live in Ireland, co. Wicklow. Can I ask who you purchased slide and woodchips from? Thanks a lot

[@murielrigout1373]

Hi Gemma, just a quick question: I recall in a previous garden you showed you designated a small area in a flower bed that Oscar could dig into. Is there a reason why you haven't got a digging (besides in the 10cm of woodchip) in this garden? And do you think Oscar will miss it / the triplets will miss out? Btw, you're inspiring me to adapt my garden to make it more of a play space, so thank you!

[@TheHiddenGem]

All their digging needs are satisfied by the wood chips 😊

[@murielrigout1373]

@@TheHiddenGem that sounds great! Not as messy as mud and saves any plants from being dug out :) Thanks for taking the time to reply

[@sarahkb4607]

How do you stop cats from 💩 in the kids area ?

[@TheHiddenGem]

We’ve never had a problem 🤷🏻‍♀️ Could be that they don’t like it or that 4 young kids using it constantly is too scary for them to come near it.
