[@frankscales7295]

To my shame iv never visited Garnish Rachel, hope to rectify that soon. I also think the Lady of Douentza should have her own T.V programme on RTE. Thanks for the tour Rachel.

Hope you get to Garnish soon, Frank, and thanks for your vote of confidence.

What a fantastic garden. Those climbing roses in the walled garden, my goodness. I could move there and become a squatter and be perfectly happy.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

The climbing roses on the wall absolutely stole my heart too. There is a big house on the island too so you wouldn't have to squat but unfortunately I didn't find it.

[@Gtumrths]

I enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Amazing garden! The Tea trees are so beautiful. I always use tea tree oil, but I’ve never seen one of them.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I loved the tiny flowers on the tea trees. Glad you enjoyed the visit and have a great day.

Hi Rachel, nice video. I’ve never seen tree ferns, they were huge. Nice white wisteria and Japanese water iris.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad you enjoyed the visit. Tree ferns are super.

[@biancavanwersch1989]

👌🤩😍🌺🍀🔥❤️

[@laurieparis2203]

Exquisite! That walled garden looks like a backdrop for a fairy tale book. I can only imagine how delicious it smelled on that island, all the fragrances commingling from bloom, foliage, and sea! Thank you for taking us with you to another exotic location. I have one question ... Was a residence ever built there, if for no other purpose then to house the gardeners?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hi Laurie. There is actually a house but I didn't find my way to it unfortunately. The Italian terrace had a closed 'room' too which they call the casita and this is where guests would go after playing croquet on the lawn. I read that at one point 13 people lived on the island.

[@laurieparis2203]

@@GardeningatDouentza thank you for adding this! It sounds like such a heavenly little retreat!

[@parttimeninja5521]

Can anyone tell me what those stringy plants are @3:12 hanging down?
Lovely garden!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Do you mean the wisteria?

[@miguelzoleta7155]

What are the red flowers at 5:11 ?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Looks like Clianthus puniceus.

[@cooldaddy2877]

What time of year did you go and what time of year would you most recommend?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I visited Garnish in June. I think it is always worth a visit but a little later in the season the bedding plants in the main pool garden would have been there and added to the colour. I remember one visitor being slightly disappointed not to see all the colour she remembered from her childhood. So, if that's what you're after, go in July!

[@cooldaddy2877]

@@GardeningatDouentza Thank you for the quick reply, much appreciated. I have some Ukrainian refugees staying with me and I want them to see Garinish.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@cooldaddy2877 Beautiful garden. They will love it

[@Fabdanc]

Lol, Ishtar... So matter of fact.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Orianna actually but I think she hit the nail on the head ☺️
