What a lovely interview and tour of this magnificent and heavenly place on earth. Rafael's creativity is always so inspiring and shows us how easy it is ... "simple, country, luxury." Love the pink velvet chairs and how the greenery is not balanced or placed even across the mantle. Thank you, Janey and great videography, Jason.
OMG, what a fabulous tour - thank you Janey for sharing the "inside scoop" once again on Park WInters. If I lived in the area, I would be visiting on a regular basis. Rafael is wonderful - so creative and inspiring. Those trees! What an inspiration for gardeners - I'm planting amaranth this year just for the Christmas decoration opportunities 🥰 Thanks to both of you for your enthusiasm and creativity - happy holidays!🌲🌺🌲❤❤❤
Oh my goodness what a beautiful way to preserve nature's bounty . Everything is just gorgeous. Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible place with all of us 🎄🤗🎄💓💕💞
What a gorgeous place! Thank you, Jason, for your wonderful camera work. Thank you, Janey and Rafael, for this awesome interview. So many great ideas! ❤️💚
Love, love, love Park Winters! Rafael is amazing and his creativity is through the roof. I was able to visit and do a workshop there last summer after watching your video tour of the property. I had the pleasure of meeting Rafael and learned that we went to the same High School in South Florida. I know I will continue to visit Park Winters as often as I can. Thank you Janey for putting so much love in all you do. I was one of your first followers and have learned so much from you. Hope you and your lovely family have a very Merry Christmas and are blessed abundantly in the New Year. 🎄❤🎄
Rafael has a great sense of style. Love everything about his property! What a treat it must be to stay in his boutique hotel. He has thought of everything! Lovely!!!
Thank you Janey, Jason and Rafael, that place is pure magic! I’ll never be able to go, so I appreciate these little field trips so much! Perfection. Zone3 Manitoba 🇨🇦🎄👏❄️
Park Winters is a magical place! 😍 If I lived close by, I would be a frequent visitor. Rafael has a beautiful spirit and his love for gardening is infectious. Thank you for a wonderful tour. 💚
Thanks Janie, this was a treat. What a creative genius Rafael is. Such diverse and brilliant ideas culminating in a business that provides unique experiences. It’s obvious it comes naturally. A lovely and inspiring video. Happy Christmas to you, Jason and the girls (and Monty) 🎄
Park Winters is such a beautiful property and I really admire the way they support local artists. Seeing the inside of the main house and the store was a real treat. Thank you so much, Rafael and Janey, for the tour. Happy Holidays!
Wish I was local! So fun to see the house and shop looking so festive for the holidays. I am enchanted by the flower trees. Thanks for taking us along!
This place is amazing and decorated for the holidays just left me breathless and wanting for more! I had to watch it twice! Love how creative Rafael is and his style and the people he sources for art is just first class. Thank you for taking us there to see his beautiful house, garden, and stores. I just wish this place was closer. Great video❤
Janey, Jason and Rafael thank you for the tour. The parlor tree was my favorite and the reflection of the mirrors! I noticed even the triple sided mirror on the floor, in front of the fireplace! Park Winter's is most definitely a place to visit especially for hot chocolate. I can only imagine.
Love love when you go to different places and wonderful artist decorating totally different from what I do. The older I get the more in love I am with dried flowers, berries and pine cones etc. thanks for allowing all of us into your life.
Rafael has some Johnny Depp vibes going on with his attire and the way he talks. Artfully thoughtful. Speaking of art, I love that Park Winters highlights abstract art in their 160 yr old property. Too cool! I've seen dried flower/herb Christmas trees before, but Park Winters is a cut above the rest! And the 1865 main house and manager's house are beautiful inside and out. Ok, enough gushing, I'm heading over to the website. Thanks for the link, Janie!
You had a wonderful tour with Rafael of the Inn portion of Park Winters estate. It is my magical place too! Glad you also captured some of my photography that is available. I lovingly think of it as Carol's Cozy Corner in the Cottage.
Stunning absolutely stunning. If that home is used for weddings I can’t imagine what Rafael’s personal home looks like that coffee table bench with the round feet a must have.
Beautiful natural tree decorations are amazing. One thing though, what type of evergreen tree did he use? Couldn't tell with all decorations on them. So inspiring!
We've already booked a family dinner just after Christmas (I really need to see those Christmas trees up close!) We do a lot with wreathes and garlands with materials from our property, but nothing even close to what they do!
Hi Janey 🌺. How amazing are the Christmas decoration all look gorgeous in every conrner inside the house also iin the store and out side ,the dried flowers on Christmas tree are beautiful and elegant . Have a great day .🌻🎄🌻🎄🌻
I'd love if he could share some tips on drying - I'm always picking up the magnolia pods and wonder if there's something I should do before I bring them in the house (south Louisiana so there's ALWAYS a bug....)
The tree....is that thing that looks like a russet potato actually a pinecone? LOL! I did woodland theme tree this year and although I'm enjoying it, I think it needs a bit more color next year. So, this tree was inspirational with the dried florals. I think that's what I'm missing. OK, I'm only 55 seconds into the video, so let me stop and keep watching! ;-)
I need your help. I’m in zone 10a. San Carlos on the San Francisco peninsula. We get warm summers with maybe a week or so of mid 90’s to 100+ but most summer days we have the fog roll in during the evening. Do you know of any instagramers for zone 10? I follow you and Laura of Garden Answers but would love someone closer to my zone. Thank you.
She has a zones series. Where people sent videos of their gardens and if they have a social media platform she adds it in the description for others to follow them.
I have had a magnolia tree for 4yrs I’ve used the leaves and I cut the flowers but never thought about saving the pods? 🤯 I know what I’m doing in 2025.
I am not into feng shui but if someone is, dried florals is a big no no. They believe death brings bad energy so they do not have anything dried or dead in the home. I really need to do fresh garland and greenery in my home.
I am familiar with Feng Shui. Interesting enough there are many design principles that embrace Feng Shui principles. Personally, I feel that it all comes down to the psychological effect or energy one gets from the environment, whether it be internal or external. One could certainly go totally hard, hat, but I’m a logical person and many of the principles do make sense from a safety perspective, and from an energy perspective, for example, one would not want a mirror reflecting Garbage receptacles. If one combines common sense, safety, and design then one is not bound to all what is lost in translation, “rules”. As a gardener, I do have my dried hydrangeas in the home, but I do discard it after a while because they are dust collectors. I guess we need to find the beauty and joy where we can.🥰🇨🇦
Beyond words. Rafael is such a wonderful man. His property is in another league. Thank you DPWR and Rafael for such a special video tour.
Thanks for watching and your kind words Catherine!
Just stunning! And hats off to Jason, he has really honed his filming skills. Makes it so easy to watch.
He really is getting good! Thanks Sue!

Thanks Daisee!
I love bud vases! I’m not great at arranging flowers but just a few simple flowers in a bud vase always looks great.
Right? I'm so inspired. I need to do that more.
Oh my goodness what a beautiful way to preserve nature's bounty . Everything is just gorgeous. Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible place with all of us 🎄🤗🎄💓💕💞

So stunning… love it

Beautiful ❤
I have never been so inspired as I was after watching this video
That's how I felt filming it! We are on the same page 🤗
I'd love if he could share some tips on drying - I'm always picking up the magnolia pods and wonder if there's something I should do before I bring them in the house (south Louisiana so there's ALWAYS a bug....)
Wow
May have been asked. How are the flowers dried?
Wow wish I lived close but I'm in nepa 2 hrs from NY city
The tree....is that thing that looks like a russet potato actually a pinecone? LOL! I did woodland theme tree this year and although I'm enjoying it, I think it needs a bit more color next year. So, this tree was inspirational with the dried florals. I think that's what I'm missing. OK, I'm only 55 seconds into the video, so let me stop and keep watching! ;-)
Those magnolia pods might be cute, until you step on one and roll your ankle! I have a large magnolia just outside the front door. SC
