The Andrew's garden is gorgeous! Love the water features, beautiful play of greenery and of course, Frog Lane. Ruby's stories about her plant choices and garden features were very interesting.

Oh yes! Spring can't come soon enough. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@dianetemple4243]

I just turned the volume down so all I pay attention to is the garden itself. Like other people have said, sometimes there are no words that are needed. The garden speaks for itself.

What a gorgeous garden - thank you for sharing.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

So nice of you! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sandravega6645]

Wow, I thought this garden being so lush and green would be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest! Most of California is dry with many water restrictions, I wonder how much water her garden requires to keep it so green and healthy.

[@user-xx2fj7ud8r]

Pines, Cedrus, Ferns and Acers (esp. Crimson queen) and that Geology ! my pallet exactly in my Scottish Japanaiserie the soul-rock- star is pure stone heaven , loving your work-Remain in light-I have to praise you like I should. Cheers !

[@marm2371]

Absolutely gorgeous!! She doesn't mention how large her garden maintenance team is. It sounds like she hired a designer as well and hired help to build it. Isn't the joy of gardening in all in the work you put into creating and building it by hand?!

[@user-gm9mi9xx3p]

No way when you have this much property. I have two acres and very few weeds and all planted. Back yard perennials. Large front all natives. I would have no life but gardening if I did it all myself

[@GardenGateMagazine]

What a gorgeous dynamic garden! I'm getting so much inspiration from this video

[@GardenGateMagazine]

So nice of you. Thanks for watching.

[@Anirras-got-a-bergenia]

Beautiful, but the presenter is primarily asking about the items that are not living. The true art this homeowner has put into this is the combination of plants and locations she has chosen.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Teena-yi9xw]

Great hardscapes as well as landscape

[@titosrevenger]

The hardscape is great but I read this comment before watching the video and you're absolutely right. None of the questions are about plants. 🤦‍♂️

[@GardenGateMagazine]

[@lianeabeyta4515]

What an incredible mix of color and texture and levels and rocks... purples, grays... garden art!!!!! Just a feast for the eyes and the senses. I also think large rock formations and boulders make a garden feel so natural and organic. Does she tend this all herself? And I wonder how much was here as a starting point. This is truly one of the most spectacular private gardens I have ever seen!

[@Lealelan]

This is spectacular. Id love to know where they live? Inland N. CA, On the coast etc? Im on the coast and have such a challenge with the Japanese maples due to wind. How I'd love to layer them and incorporate them as she's done. Does she give tours of her garden? As others have said, will have to come back and watch again! So beautiful!

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Id love to see a tour with all or mostly native plants, maybe in 10 years you can take a tour of my yard, with Prunus Maritima that grows native on Long Island, and Arrowwood viburnum in bloom... how beautiful to get people re-connected with their native plants.
