You dont give yourself enough credit Danielle! When you said "This could be a bride's bouquet- well maybe bridesmaid" That could absolutely be a bride's bouquet!
Your grandma would be so proud of you Danielle and the way you have honored her name and spirit and the way you continue to keep her alive in your heart and present in your garden daily. She is for sure shining down on you and the beautiful landscape you’ve created in inspiration of her sweet name ✨🤍 enjoy your garden today!
Danielle your Bouquet is Absolutely Gorgeous. I think that is wonderful that you have a garden in memory of your grandmom. I have a white bed I memory of my sweet MOM. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day tomorrow and stay safe my dear friend. 👍💐🦋
Everything looks so beautiful. I’m sure the hummingbird will be super happy with your selection. Mine love my black and blue salvia. The bouquet is stunning. I cut flowers everyday and add them to my bouquets. I picked my first Dahlia yesterday. I currently have six bouquets in my salon. ❤️🌸🐾🐈
Gorgeous! I love watching you put together something beautiful while you chat with us. So relaxing and really lifts my mood. Thanks for all your wonderful content 💗
I think it’s called “collaring” with greenery, but I’m not certain. Lol 😂 Your gardens and arrangements are just stunning and refreshingly beautiful! Thank you so much!
You are just so sweet an I so love your Community you’ve built here on RUclips it’s refreshing it’s a respite to all the craziness going on in the world and it is nice to see like-minded people you are so adding to humanity God bless you and thank you again for all that you share♥️🌸
I have that same Grandmother peony. It’s so special to have and every year we cut a bouquet and tell stories about my grandmother and my mother. I’m a grandmother now so it’s so much fun sharing gardening tips with my daughter and her children. I just found your channel, I love it❤️
Your garden is beautiful. The purple, green, and green-yellow color palette looks stunning. And yes, you’re not alone in this gardening hobby/obsession! 💜💚
Danielle, I watch so many gardening channels and yours is one of my favorites. I love how you explain things and have learned so much! Your flowers are so gorgeous and I wish I could buy from your stand because I love your arrangements!
I was so hoping you would show us the bouquet making! It’s stunning! Love seeing the effect of repetition, I need to do that more. I’m so happy that I found you. You are so talented, and your comments about needing to relax about your Grandma’s garden and let it happen should be my new mantra. I’m a 40 year gardener, and I’m still learning. Thank you!
Danielle, I'm in South Jersey, and three years ago I bought two Rockin' Deep Purples. It was a gorgeous plant, and hummingbirds were constantly sipping its nectar. Two things to know about those plants - first, they were supposed to be annuals. It has come back every year for me. I throw a couple of inches of leaves on top as a blanket for the winter, and it takes off in spring like a house on fire. The second thing to know is they get big, actually massive! Mine was close to six foot tall. Keep it pruned if you want a smaller plant, or put it at the back of the border. The hummingbirds will thank you!
The curved view of your flower border with the stepping stones in front is so spectacular & inviting. Your guests are in for a treat! Danielle, you make the BEST bouquets, seemingly without effort! Always a gift to your viewers!
I get soo much inspiration from your garden! I have an average neighborhood sized yard that was in really rough shape when I bought it 6 years ago. Between you and garden answer I’ve learned so much and really gotten into the cut flowers. I love how you have shown us that growing cut flowers in the borders is not only beautiful but quite Do-able. 🥰 I used to think I did t have enough space to grow cut flowers and I’m happy to admit I was wrong! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and beautiful Gardens 💐 oh and I LOVE hand tied arrangements but your more formal one are equally stunning 🤩
Love your hummingbird earrings. The bouquet is gorgeous. I am growing those anemones as well and love them more than I thought I would. Your grandma's garden is coming along nicely. I'm really happy to be part of your garden club.
I’ve never heard your Grandma’s terminology, greening up the neck” but “collaring” a bouquet is something I’ve heard many times. I had never heard of using forsythia for greenery and it’s been my go to since watching your fabulous videos! One of the reasons I love your videos is that your passion for flowers and gardening is so evident and your joy comes through! I feel that too and it does feel like “my garden club” when I watch. I’m grateful!
Thanks for the inspiration, for your kindness and for sharing your grandmother’s garden with us. What a special spot. It looks beautiful😍 We’re in the best club ever!😊🌻🌸
Your bouquet is beautiful and could be for a bride! And yes, greening up the neck is what floral designers do - especially in vases - always want to hide the vase top.
Linda S - Danielle, your arrangement is absolutely stunning! I am amazed at how you make it look effortless to create and that all those beautiful flowers were harvested from your own gardens. We also enjoy hummingbirds coming to our feeders. You have inspired me to start working on planting flowers for them to enjoy as well.
I love your garden!! I love flowers and plants! I have different flowers, plants and vegetables planted in my front yard but nothing like yours. I have a green thumb which runs in my family. I love Peonies and lilac's but they won't grow in South Alabama. My brother committed suicide and I inherited a lot of his plants and fruit trees. We both we're going to start a fruit and vegetable farm and homestead but it didn't get to happen. So, I do sell some of my citrus trees but not the one's I got from him. But, I just love to watch you in your garden along with all the bouquet's you make. So, you have a blessed day and I will be watching!! Ty!
Oh my gosh that bouquet is stunning! If I were a new soon to be bride I’d definitely use that as my bouquet! You have a beautiful garden ! Keep up your amazing work! 🙌🏼💖
Danielle! You are such a sweetie pie! Thank you for sharing your passion with us! Love all the animals in you garden aswell… thank you so much! Always so happy and full of peace after watching one of your videos 💕 Its winter here in South Africa, so it is wonderful to see all your flowers! Have an awesome day! Lots of love 💕
Loving the evolution of your garden! You are such an inspiration and I get so many great ideas from you! Yes! I love feeling like we are in this together. Thanks so much for posting your videos!
What a beautiful arrangement! We are still waiting for peonies to bloom in southern Wisconsin. We received 3.6 inches of rain on Wednesday and Thursday. Also we are going to be very warm, so I'm hoping the ranunculus don't get harmed. They are budding but no blooms yet. The anemones started blooming a week ago and are so beautiful. I have daisies, lupines, verbascum and baptisia blooming. Thanks for sharing your garden beauty with us.
I spent my morning creating 3 separate bouquets from my gardens. I had my husband build me a couple of raised beds just for a cut flower garden. It’s the first year I’m trying it. Fingers crossed I end up with some flowers to work with. You’re inspiring me to try several different things. I’m fairly new to your channel. Beautiful work you do!!
What a beautiful arrangement 💐 love your peonies!! They are my favorite flower…I have some that were gifted to me by my mom who was gifted them from her neighbor ….offshoots from the original plant over 100 years old 💕
Beautiful arrangement Danielle! I love your chosen colour scheme, those colours plus white are the most serene combination in my opinion. Something very soothing about it. Hope you had fun at the party and I absolutely love this garden club!
I think grandma's garden is beautiful. I have the same problem with mosquitos here in Dallas TX. It's 100 degrees and I have on garden gloves and a windbreaker with sweatpants.
That blue black salvia is a hummingbird magnet. They prefer them over the nectar feeder. Excellent choice! Your gardens are beautiful. I hope my fledgling butterfly/hummingbird garden is half as nice as yours.
I love you have your granny’s peonies. I will be getting some in my husband’s grandma’s this fall. My second cousin has my great grandma’s hydrangeas. She said I could get some leaves to propitiate this summer. I’m so thrilled. Your garden looks great. I can see the transformation already.
I always love watching your videos. And I would love to say I’m a part of “Your” gardening club. I bought a Dynatrap at the end of last summer and I’m hoping it works too. I live near the Great Salt Lake in Utah and we always joke that you have to run inside quick when the mosquitos come out because they’re big enough to carry you away.🤣
I do live in a mosquito zone... Literally. My house/property sits about 8 feet lower elevation than the rest of the houses on my street. And I'm convinced that every mosquito nearby flies over to our property to live out its life, simply bcuz our property is cooler & heavily shaded. So from the end of March thru October my yard is a heavily populated mosquito zone! And I have zero water sitting around, I am always making sure of that! And I let my soil get very dry too. It is only dry on the top surface, but I don't want to give them a place to spend the night!! Yet, they seem to find places to do just that... In the past I have tried all the things, all the gimmicks. Nothing works. But I haven't tried the one you mentioned! So yes, I'm very interested in your results!! I now wear a wide brim garden hat with mosquito netting over my face. (they're always trying to fly in my eyes!!) I wear long, lightweight pants. Long sleeve shirts, the kind that cover your hands with thumbholes bcuz those mosquitos love to bite the tops of my hands! When I wash my clothes, I add Peppermint oil to the rinse, which does help a tiny bit. When I'm going to be working in one spot for more than a few minutes, I set up a large fan which blows a good breeze on me. That is my best defense! WIND ! Our mosquitos even bite me thru my clothes. They prolly do that everywhere! But it never ceases to amaze me! It's too hot over here to wear heavy clothing. Wearing lightweight, baggy, long sleeves & long pants is bad enough! And during the very hot Summer months I can only work outside during the morning hours. The mosquitos run my gardening schedule! But I'll never give up!! Oh, and just a side note- The months of October thru March are idyllic over here!! No mosquitos, most Winter temperatures are very pleasant, until February when we get about one month of super cold weather. And then the first few weeks in March it warms up & is nice until the flying biters show up! I think if my Winters were cold and snowy, and my Summers full of mosquitos, I wouldn't want to live here! But since our Winter is quite nice, and we often wear shorts outside with no mosquitos, then I put up with the biters during the hot months. I'm looking forward to your mosquito gadget results!
Danielle your garden is SO BEAUTIFUL! Your bouquet is so lovely. Mine are not that elaborate but I do also add greenery and sometimes hosta leaves to mine. We have had many florists do demonstrations at my garden club and they do the same thing you do….hide their mechanics or stems with greenery. The weather in central Illinois has been weird too. It started out as a lovely cool spring….then we had a week of high 90’s…..then back to spring temps and next week 90’s again! Crazy. Your hummers will love, love that salvia. They also like “ Black and Blue” salvia which I am sure this one is a spin off from. Mosquitoes love me too! I am using a spray made from different Doterra essential oils this year. Terra shield with eucalyptus and some other oils added. So far it’s kept the knats from biting me. Have a great week!
I too like to add annuals in my garden with the humming birds in mind. Your garden is lovely with the new additions and the arrangement is beautiful. I have to work a bit harder to achieve such results. lol It's always a pleasure to see a new video from you, have a great week!
Everything looks so beautiful and purple is my favorite color!! Hummingbirds love my black and blue salvia so much but this is the second year it has come back and is flourishing in my garden ( not booming yet). I'm in NJ zone 7 and I mulch those up after cutting them back in the fall and mine are in the south side garden but they are the biggest and best they've looked... planted them 3 years ago! I hope you will try that... in your zone because if we have another mild winter all of yours may come back like mine and they must reseed themselves too because I have so many from only about 3 original plants! I did notice that if you want to move them you must dig them out really early in the spring otherwise they are really hard to get out without damaging the other plants surrounding them. Happy gardening! Choosing Joy ~ stephanie 💜☀️
Somehow I got so lucky and your amazing channel popped up for me! Amazing garden, you are so talented. It could be a bridesmaid's bouquest if you want to outshine the bride!
My mood just ultimately gets better after your videos. So does my motivation to grow all those beautiful flowers as you do.. Now I want such a nice hand tied bouquet too! 😍 Greetings, Judit 🤗
That bouquet is so beautiful Danielle!! Omg a purple loving bride would be so happy with that! I'm playing catch up on videos after being away camping and yes the weather has been crazy. I was wearing a hoodie in the beginning then getting 90s towards the end of the trip lol. This time of the year is so beautiful with all the various shades of purple 💜
Such an inspiration, thank you for sharing! This is my first year really gardening down in hot and humid Houston, Texas and your videos have really helped me learn how to start plants from seed and watch them grow. I wish I could include pictures in this comments, but let me just say, I have had some successes and some failures but have enjoyed everyone step of the way! Thank you!
I must peruse these comments to see if anyone could identify your grandmother's peonies. I have the exact same variety, also from my grandmother, and have been trying to determine the type for years! Love them and very special.❤
Hello Danielle, you are definately not alone, thank you for the regular updates. I started my cut flower garden this year, and man oh man I had so many bouqet already, currently ranunculus season here where I live.I was hugely inspired by your videos,so please keep them coming. I love them all, my favourites are the garden tours and the ones where you are making compot designs,also any video that has lenghty footage of snapdragons I'm in love with. Best of wishes from Hungary. Lidia
Looking great Danielle. Loved the colors in this bouquet- you truly are so talented and have definitely inherited your grandma’s genes. I agree that it feels like we are all part of a special gardening club- very few of my family and friends appreciate the same passion for the process. Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all of our gardening friends!!
Just a Thank You and another. I can't Thank You enough for your positive attitude and for getting me hooked on this wonderful passion of yours. It has really been the best medicine for me in a very trying couple of years. I appreciate all of your videos and have learned so much.
Your videos are always so calming and a great way to start my day. Your bouquets are always works of art! In my opinion, spring flowers are the most outrageously showy - iris, peony, snapdragons - wow! We've had crazy weather here in Colorado , too, last week we had 90 degrees then 12 inches of heavy snow the next day.
Hi Danielle! I saw this variety and thought it might be the white and light pink peony you transplanted from your grandma’s garden… it may not be, but it looked pretty close! It was the Lactiflora Lady Alexandra Duff variety. Thank you so much for your videos and I look forward to the ones you post in the future!
Your garden is really lovely! Catmint is one of my favorite plants that I use as well! I love how long it is in bloom! Happy gardening! Have a great day!
Beautiful Flowers and your bouquet is stunning. & absolutely worthy of a bride. Your garden is magical.. I love it all. I have hummingbirds that visit my nectar filled feeders while my hanging baskets and ground perennials are playing catchup from this weather in Michigan 5b. I do have to comment on the pesky mosquitoes & gnat looking rascals. I was outside all lday and bight Saturday..in the sun and dirt. I am covered from them both picking on me. Sprays & Foggers work for a while but I like the hummingbirds and butterflies and bees that visit everything when in bloom. I had never heard of the mosquito catcher that size, so will have to do some digging Thanks for sharing. love this video. I hope the baby yshower was a success.
Gorgeous bouquet!! Your cottage garden is so pretty 😍 Hummers love salvia especially the Black and Blue varieties. Much better than feeders in my opinion.
You dont give yourself enough credit Danielle! When you said "This could be a bride's bouquet- well maybe bridesmaid" That could absolutely be a bride's bouquet!
Your grandma would be so proud of you Danielle and the way you have honored her name and spirit and the way you continue to keep her alive in your heart and present in your garden daily. She is for sure shining down on you and the beautiful landscape you’ve created in inspiration of her sweet name ✨🤍 enjoy your garden today!
I love the way you arranged your flowers better thank others that I am watching here. Less greenery accents and more flowers... love it
and... Danielle just casually pulls together a gorgeous bouquet that is fit for a bride in five minutes.... what talent!
I look forward to your videos and kindness every bit as much as the growing information!
Danielle your Bouquet is Absolutely Gorgeous. I think that is wonderful that you have a garden in memory of your grandmom. I have a white bed I memory of my sweet MOM. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day tomorrow and stay safe my dear friend. 👍💐🦋
Everything looks so beautiful. I’m sure the hummingbird will be super happy with your selection. Mine love my black and blue salvia. The bouquet is stunning. I cut flowers everyday and add them to my bouquets. I picked my first Dahlia yesterday. I currently have six bouquets in my salon. ❤️🌸🐾🐈
Oh Danielle!! That hand tied bouquet!! Perfection. Also “fake news” 🤣 you crack me up.
Gorgeous! I love watching you put together something beautiful while you chat with us. So relaxing and really lifts my mood. Thanks for all your wonderful content 💗
I think it’s called “collaring” with greenery, but I’m not certain. Lol 😂 Your gardens and arrangements are just stunning and refreshingly beautiful! Thank you so much!
Yes Ive heard it as collaring also!
You are just so sweet an I so love your Community you’ve built here on RUclips it’s refreshing it’s a respite to all the craziness going on in the world and it is nice to see like-minded people you are so adding to humanity God bless you and thank you again for all that you share♥️🌸
Love the Rockin series...hummingbirds should be all over it !!! 😁
That clematis is so cute 😊
I have that same Grandmother peony. It’s so special to have and every year we cut a bouquet and tell stories about my grandmother and my mother. I’m a grandmother now so it’s so much fun sharing gardening tips with my daughter and her children. I just found your channel, I love it❤️
You have a very wonderful flower PLANTS 🌹💐 farm my friend.very healthy plants grown around.
Your garden is beautiful. The purple, green, and green-yellow color palette looks stunning. And yes, you’re not alone in this gardening hobby/obsession! 💜💚
THAT BOUQUET is STUNNING! To watch you create that so quickly is something else! Well done!
Danielle, I watch so many gardening channels and yours is one of my favorites. I love how you explain things and have learned so much! Your flowers are so gorgeous and I wish I could buy from your stand because I love your arrangements!
I was so hoping you would show us the bouquet making! It’s stunning! Love seeing the effect of repetition, I need to do that more. I’m so happy that I found you. You are so talented, and your comments about needing to relax about your Grandma’s garden and let it happen should be my new mantra. I’m a 40 year gardener, and I’m still learning. Thank you!
Oh my goodness such a beautiful bouquet 💐 that’s a million time more beautiful than any bridal bouquet I’ve seen in person.
You make bouquet building so effortless looking, but I think it's because you are a natural at it. Your DNA from Gramma and Mom!
I love when Grace was laying on the lounge chair. Beautiful bouquet and garden. Thanks for sharing!
Danielle, I'm in South Jersey, and three years ago I bought two Rockin' Deep Purples. It was a gorgeous plant, and hummingbirds were constantly sipping its nectar. Two things to know about those plants - first, they were supposed to be annuals. It has come back every year for me.

Mine was close to six foot tall. Keep it pruned if you want a smaller plant, or put it at the back of the border. The hummingbirds will thank you!
That large white flower I think you called a peony looks like a Blessing in Bloom! Thank You for sharing your flowers... Blessings!
It's all beautiful Work so so much more Danielle to 🌲🌵🌿🌼🌷🌸🌱all the Floor
Bridal bouquet is exactly what I was thinking!! So gorgeous!
The curved view of your flower border with the stepping stones in front is so spectacular & inviting. Your guests are in for a treat! Danielle, you make the BEST bouquets, seemingly without effort! Always a gift to your viewers!
I get soo much inspiration from your garden! I have an average neighborhood sized yard that was in really rough shape when I bought it 6 years ago. Between you and garden answer I’ve learned so much and really gotten into the cut flowers. I love how you have shown us that growing cut flowers in the borders is not only beautiful but quite Do-able. 🥰 I used to think I did t have enough space to grow cut flowers and I’m happy to admit I was wrong!

Thanks for the inspiration, for your kindness and for sharing your grandmother’s garden with us. What a special spot. It looks beautiful😍
We’re in the best club ever!😊🌻🌸
I'm slowly going back to watch all your videos. I have much to learn and you are an excellent teacher.
Your bouquet is so beautiful. I loved the garden tour and the purple planting-one of my favorite colors for the garden. Thanks for taking us along.
Hummingbirds love the red bergamot, they fight over it!
Your bouquet is beautiful and could be for a bride! And yes, greening up the neck is what floral designers do - especially in vases - always want to hide the vase top.

Its winter here in South Africa, so it is wonderful to see all your flowers! Have an awesome day! Lots of love 💕
The hummingbird will love it
Loving the evolution of your garden! You are such an inspiration and I get so many great ideas from you! Yes! I love feeling like we are in this together. Thanks so much for posting your videos!

I love flower arranging day mixed in with everything else around the garden . thank you!
The garden looks amazing. I love all the shades of purple. 🦋🦋
Good morning 🌼💐🌷🌺🌹🌸🥀
I spent my morning creating 3 separate bouquets from my gardens. I had my husband build me a couple of raised beds just for a cut flower garden. It’s the first year I’m trying it. Fingers crossed I end up with some flowers to work with. You’re inspiring me to try several different things. I’m fairly new to your channel. Beautiful work you do!!

I love touring your garden. It is so beautiful and I glean so much from watching you. Your bouquet turned out beautiful! 🌿💗🌿
You have such a beautiful garden and I love all the perennials you are growing. 🥰🌺🌸🌼
I love you have your granny’s peonies. I will be getting some in my husband’s grandma’s this fall. My second cousin has my great grandma’s hydrangeas. She said I could get some leaves to propitiate this summer. I’m so thrilled. Your garden looks great. I can see the transformation already.

So yes, I'm very interested in your results!!
I now wear a wide brim garden hat with mosquito netting over my face.
(they're always trying to fly in my eyes!!)
I wear long, lightweight pants.
Long sleeve shirts, the kind that cover your hands with thumbholes bcuz those mosquitos love to bite the tops of my hands!
When I wash my clothes, I add Peppermint oil to the rinse, which does help a tiny bit.
When I'm going to be working in one spot for more than a few minutes, I set up a large fan which blows a good breeze on me.

WIND !
Our mosquitos even bite me thru my clothes.
They prolly do that everywhere!
But it never ceases to amaze me!
It's too hot over here to wear heavy clothing. Wearing lightweight, baggy, long sleeves & long pants is bad enough!
And during the very hot Summer months I can only work outside during the morning hours.
The mosquitos run my gardening schedule!
But I'll never give up!!
Oh, and just a side note-
The months of October thru March are idyllic over here!!
No mosquitos, most Winter temperatures are very pleasant, until February when we get about one month of super cold weather. And then the first few weeks in March it warms up & is nice until the flying biters show up!
I think if my Winters were cold and snowy, and my Summers full of mosquitos, I wouldn't want to live here!
But since our Winter is quite nice, and we often wear shorts outside with no mosquitos, then I put up with the biters during the hot months.
I'm looking forward to your mosquito gadget results!
I get bit by mosquitoes something awful, too! Definitely keep us updated on the mosquito trap😊
Yes, mosquitoes are a big problem! Bouquet is so beautiful!
Love your garden and your gorgeous bouquet, it would make a beautiful bride bouquet for sure.
Hello Danielle, Here in my northern Kentucky gardens we have a wonderful bat colony that takes care of our mosquito population.
Beautiful bouquet Danielle. Your garden is stunning and thanks for taking us along.
Danielle your garden is SO BEAUTIFUL! Your bouquet is so lovely. Mine are not that elaborate but I do also add greenery and sometimes hosta leaves to mine.

WOW- My favorite colors. You did so well coordinating those colors in that bouquet.
Your neighbors are so lucky 🌷 🥰

My mood just ultimately gets better after your videos. So does my motivation to grow all those beautiful flowers as you do.. Now I want such a nice hand tied bouquet too! 😍 Greetings, Judit 🤗
Gorgeous bouquet! I think the dark scabiosa brought it all together!
That bouquet is so beautiful Danielle!! Omg a purple loving bride would be so happy with that! I'm playing catch up on videos after being away camping and yes the weather has been crazy. I was wearing a hoodie in the beginning then getting 90s towards the end of the trip lol. This time of the year is so beautiful with all the various shades of purple 💜
Such an inspiration, thank you for sharing! This is my first year really gardening down in hot and humid Houston, Texas and your videos have really helped me learn how to start plants from seed and watch them grow. I wish I could include pictures in this comments, but let me just say, I have had some successes and some failures but have enjoyed everyone step of the way! Thank you!
I must peruse these comments to see if anyone could identify your grandmother's peonies. I have the exact same variety, also from my grandmother, and have been trying to determine the type for years! Love them and very special.❤
I found you today. Thrilled!!!
Where have I been 🫣
Beautiful flowers!!
Beautiful!! For the mosquitos- no sugar! Hard to do, but works!
Beautiful bouquet!! And the garden is looking so lovely! 💕☀️
Hello Danielle, you are definately not alone, thank you for the regular updates. I started my cut flower garden this year, and man oh man I had so many bouqet already, currently ranunculus season here where I live.I was hugely inspired by your videos,so please keep them coming. I love them all, my favourites are the garden tours and the ones where you are making compot designs,also any video that has lenghty footage of snapdragons I'm in love with.
Best of wishes from Hungary.

Looking great Danielle. Loved the colors in this bouquet- you truly are so talented and have definitely inherited your grandma’s genes. I agree that it feels like we are all part of a special gardening club- very few of my family and friends appreciate the same passion for the process. Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all of our gardening friends!!
Gorgeous bouquet Danielle! Your garden is so stunning! Such an inspiration.
So beautiful 😍
And your dog so so much more 🐶🐯🐼
Great video! Love your homage to hummingbirds with your earrings. ☺️ And that bouquet - WOW! So beautiful!
Beautiful bouquet!
Just a Thank You and another. I can't Thank You enough for your positive attitude and for getting me hooked on this wonderful passion of yours. It has really been the best medicine for me in a very trying couple of years. I appreciate all of your videos and have learned so much.
Your videos are always so calming and a great way to start my day. Your bouquets are always works of art! In my opinion, spring flowers are the most outrageously showy - iris, peony, snapdragons - wow! We've had crazy weather here in Colorado , too, last week we had 90 degrees then 12 inches of heavy snow the next day.
I recommend a tiki torch. They work amazing. Not a bug in sight. Grab a few and put one in each outer corner of your whole area
Hi Danielle! I saw this variety and thought it might be the white and light pink peony you transplanted from your grandma’s garden… it may not be, but it looked pretty close! It was the Lactiflora Lady Alexandra Duff variety.
Thank you so much for your videos and I look forward to the ones you post in the future!
Absolutely beautiful 🌹 Keep doing what you do! I enjoy watching you and your creations!
I always enjoy your videos and knowledge that you share with everybody. It's just great!
This inspired me to do a walk-thru in my garden, I desperately need your garden!!🤣
Beautiful bouquet and I learn so much from you! Thanks for sharing all that beauty!
Just beautiful!!!! The garden and the arrangement!
Your garden is really lovely! Catmint is one of my favorite plants that I use as well! I love how long it is in bloom! Happy gardening! Have a great day!
Beautiful Flowers and your bouquet is stunning. & absolutely worthy of a bride. Your garden is magical.. I love it all. I have hummingbirds that visit my nectar filled feeders while my hanging baskets and ground perennials are playing catchup from this weather in Michigan 5b. I do have to comment on the pesky mosquitoes & gnat looking rascals. I was outside all lday and bight Saturday..in the sun and dirt. I am covered from them both picking on me. Sprays & Foggers work for a while but I like the hummingbirds and butterflies and bees that visit everything when in bloom. I had never heard of the mosquito catcher that size, so will have to do some digging Thanks for sharing. love this video. I hope the baby yshower was a success.
Gorgeous bouquet!! Your cottage garden is so pretty 😍 Hummers love salvia especially the Black and Blue varieties. Much better than feeders in my opinion.
Gorgeous garden and arrangement!
Looking fantastic, love hand ties. This one is do pretty
