Join Marnie and I as we visit the Most Beautiful Gardens. Fight for Joy, Take a Mini-Vacation and LIVE!
If you want to take some great instagram photos this is one place you should visit!
We visit the best Japanese and Botanic Gardens that we can find or that you recommend. We have visited gardens of Texas, gardens of Hawaii, gardens of Minnesota and Gardens of all over the United States. Our hope is to one day film gardens of the world. We would love to start with Kew Gardens and the thousands of gardens in Great Britain, but for now these are the best garden's we have explored in the United States.
I find that one of the best ways to learn "How to Plan a Garden" is to visit quality gardens. If you can't visit them all in person, subscribe to channels like ours that can take you there.
My goal is to help you to be immersed in the beauty of these spectacular pieces of art. We do this for our own Soul Care as a part of our Fight for Joy. We found ourselves at a place in our lives where we were wondering how to find joy in life among all the difficult things we were facing. it's amazing what the Beauty of God and creativity of an artist can do for your own soul care....to learn to slow down and smell the roses...to be still...! How do you deal with chaos? By intentionally forcing yourself to slow down and not let chaos steal your time and energy.
The beauty of these gardens, set to beautiful Jazz and Folk Music have helped many people find some peace and solitude. For others, these videos are filled with ideas for how to garden. They also help in How to plant flowers with various designs and even help give some ideas on how to grow your vegetables.
Garden design can take on many shapes from formal gardens to cottage gardens, from wild flowers to Japanese tea gardens. Come explore with us and find out what you might want to create in your own back yard!

Marnie- did you find that those plants we use in MN as annuals in our planters (Begonia, ect) were larger (leaf size, flower size) in Hawaii?

Certainly more varieties thrive there, and they have the benefit of getting to live in their natural environment, so they can reach their full potential😁... some like the common houseplant pothos, grew all over as a ground cover!
What was really wild, as you will see in upcoming episodes, is how many plants we recognize actually grow way up in trees, in the crooks and on limbs. Some of what I discovered to be JUNGLE CACTI also grow up in trees in rainforest conditions! And, there is even such a thing as climbing or vining cactus! It was pretty cool to see😊
