Phillip, I wanted you to know how much I enjoy the music you select for the videos. I think it adds a texture of fun and drama. I know how much work it must be, but it is very much appreciated.
I was going to comment that there was a definite Tarantino vibe using the spaghetti western soundtrack whilst on the miniature steam railway - brilliant !
He is of film(ing) background😉i can imagine he knows very well what he is doing and willing to put in the work to get the best results😃☺
Agree 💯. Always enjoy the chosen music. Fits perfectly.
I thought the same, it really adds a lot of quality to your videos and ties everything together.
Anna seems the most happiest when she’s traveling or adventuring. I love Anna’s dad he needs his own channel. ❤
I agree, he seems like a natural narrator/tour guide!
Today is Mother's Day in the US and I want to wish Anna, her mother and mother-in-law a very happy Mother's Day. Seeing that spectacular garden was a real treat.
Happy Mothers Day!! 💐
Happy mother's Day!💝🌷 It is also mother's day in Brazil today.
Wonderful video! Love family and the gardens! Wow! ❤
It was Mothers' Day almost everuwhere yesterday. Hope everybody had a nice day.
In the Philippines, too!
Anna, I love the way you speak about your mother in law and parents with such love & respect. It’s so lovely to see. You’re all blessed. What beautiful gardens!
I didn't think you would ACTUALLY find an ice cream truck!
It was beautiful watching Hildegard hug the girls goodbye; she held them close and extra long despite a few squirms from the girls. That sends a clear love message, and one day they’ll think back on those hugs and be so grateful for them. A grandma’s love gives a child a secure foundation. It’s clear that both sides of the family are loving, kind, and down to earth people.
The goodbyes to Oma were precious! 🥰
Extremely moving episode, packed full of the love you share as a family and the joy and appetite for life! A great lesson of positivism and enthusiasm! Thank you!
Beautiful…..tears when Hildegard left. The kids are so lucky to have her and your parents, Anna! Precious memories are being made. The Rothschild garden is sensational. Thank you for taking us with you. Happy gardening, Philipp. Love to you all. ❤
I got teary-eyed when Hildegard left. Your children are lucky to have such wonderful grandparents in their lives
The Rothschild gardens were breathtakingly beautiful.
I have spent the whole month watching destruction. This episode was very inspiring. As always, you match your videos with the perfect music! Gardens need gardeners and money, but they also need people who are committed to progress, authenticity, creativity, hard work, long-term goals, and peace. In a culture mostly interested in instant gratification and destruction, the first thing to dissapear is the beauty around us. Your family is doing a good job teaching your kids to love a garden. Your girls will always think twice about destroying anything. In fact; they will find it utterly stupid.
Every spot in that garden needed to be framed, thank you for letting us see it with you
Philip made me laugh when he said that you could get the plants in the car if not, you could just leave one of the children!! 😂
I loved the tour of the beautiful garden. And Phillip’s face when he was next to the train driver. Priceless. X
What is happening with your bedroom. Look forward to see how fare you are
As a guide at The New York Botanical Garden I appreciate your description of the Rothschild Garden and the rhododendrons.😊
Thank you for taking us on a tour of that magical garden. Here in western Canada, the plants are just peaking out from the winter. Happy Mother’s Day Anna and both grandmothers.🇨🇦🤗
The Botanical Garden in the Deerfield suburb of Chicago is expansive, brilliant, magical and publicly funded. 🍃
How lucky you are to have such a lovely family ! I'm very glad the classical music is back. Yours is one of the very few channel I don't cut the sound off. Have a nice week !
Me too!
Absolutely. I can NOT do those electro anxiety inducing percussive soundtracks. Thank you Phillip.
Beautiful. A garden is a long long work. I am working in my garden for 15 years by now. It's always changing. We learn to be patient, let the nature do is work and appreciate each moment of the process. Certainly, my favorite creation during my life. Our garden around the house is a piece of our hart my husband and I. We love every flowers in it, remember each time we spend to transform it and make it beautiful. 💘 Wish you a serene, luxurious and gorgeous garden.
A few years ago I created new garden bed in the front of my yard right along the sidewalk and I’ve been very surprised at just how many people have said how much they enjoy seeing it as they walk or drive past. Gardens really are good for the soul, so as always, thank you for taking us along with you.
So many special magical moments in this video. Family connections; your precious girls; Ziggy; steam train adventure and that familiar ‘I’m in heaven’ smile of Philipp at the helm of the steam train; the music; stunning garden; witnessing Philipp’s excitement to enhance the garden back at the chateau; the discounts offered to fans such as Square Space and your very own designed candles; the list goes on!
Fabulous episode yet again. You have an ingenious way of making us all feel part of the family. That is why, no matter what the content, I’ll always be a fan and subscriber.
Wishing you a fabulous week ahead,
Mary from tropical Central East Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 😍🥰❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! Much appreciated!
I second that wholeheartedly . Thank you @howtorenovateachateau for letting us enjoy this stunning flower garden, I looooove it so much❤ thank you so much
Ziggy joyfully waded in the pond but then hesitated to get in the bath, how sweet.
Thanks you guys, that garden was like Heaven ❤
Watching you all say goodbye to Hildegard made me tear up because I know exactly how she feels! You can tell the girls love her so much and you all love each other who can ask more than that! You are all truly blessed.
My grandmother had a rhododendron garden with rhoddies from all over the world. Her gardener trimmed them underneath to make caves for us to hide and play in. It was wonderful under there in the spring, when I was little! She hired a professional gardener to design and plant her extensive gardens, backed by hardwood forests that were managed. There was a little/bigish pond full of frogs and a floating dead tree to climb on that always rolled and dumped us! The pond was very deep, deep enough to swim and dive in. She made a little sandy beach beside it with a shallow area for us little kids. There was a pool house and a diving board for Swan Dives and Cannonballs!. There were so many deer in the forest and lots of raccoons and interesting footprints all around the pond. What I loved was the dirt path through the woods. The path was full of tree roots and they made odd spaces just big enough for my little feet. My mother said the trees made these little steps just for me! So I had a very loving feeling for trees from the beginning, holding my mother's hand and toddling thru the woods! Make a beautiful path under drooping branches and a beautiful garden with a moving water feature, Phillip. Even if it is just a fountain or a bird bath with a low section, animals can come to drink from, outside the kitchen windows, so you can watch them! , You can put up a sign that says "No Wild Boars!" to keep them away. My dad put up a sign that said "No squirrels allowed! " on the bird feeder one night when he was drunk. It worked! If you have a local university with a horticulture and forestry program, you might get free care, if you offered your woods as a classroom workshop. If you clear out your woods of young trees, it would be very nice to replant them over at the church, which is so barren. A shady place with a bench to contemplate the brevity of life and the closeness of God......dedicate the bench with a brass plaque, "In loving memory of Everybody Here!....." and maybe the idea will catch on!
Sous beautiful, great childhood memories. We had a gazebo up a steep hill with hundreds of daffodils that were so pretty in the spring, there was a barn in back storing hay bales where we would build forts and play. So many kids won't have memories playing outside. I wouldn't come home till dinner time, either riding my bicycle adventures with the neighborhood kids.
@@3_3645 You are right! We were so lucky. Its too dangerous now to let little girls ride bikes on country roads. We even had a kidnapping here last year. She has never been found.
@@28105wsking . very sad and true, we didn't have to lock our doors now we all have cameras everywhere
Your words are very descriptive & you wove a beautiful picture of your childhoods woodland experience! I could see the beauty & feel your young wonder & excitement! Do you know if it is still there or did progress take it away? What a great chance to allow a child's imagination Excell! You could be Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest or stranded with Friday on Robinson Caruso's Island or another day with Christopher Robin, Kanga, Roo Pigglet & Winnie the Pooh & don't forget Eeyore! What Fun❤!!!
I have just watched a video of wild rhododendron in China and it was absolutely stunning, miles and miles of forest with rhododendrons in all colours.
Your parent's home is just beautiful, Anna! Thank you for the garden tour.
The Garden was breath taking ..... it will keep Phillip busy for the remainder of his life without doubt !
What a terrific Mother’s Day video. The garden is just magnificent. Thank you so much for the tour with your lovely Family.
The flowering shrubs in spring are so uplifting. The forsythia, witch hazels, azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs just bring such wonderful color into the garden.
Phillip I loved seeing the joy on your face and how inspired and enthusiastic you are. Your appreciation of the garden took me back to being in Germany on this day in 2012. I had surgery and for two months after lived at the Hundertwasser Haus in Gruga Park in Essen. During my recovery my mom and I had daily access to gardens and we still didn’t see everything. What a wonderful video for us in the states today as it’s Mother’s Day and seeing you and Anna with both sets of of parents and having the girls….what special memories you’ve shared!
English gardens: beauty from the masters to soothe one's soul.
That surely was an enchanted garden. Wow!!!
That garden is extraordinary!!! I'm so glad you filmed it for us. And, I always love your choice of music!
These moments with your wonderful family never fail to bring a smile to my face!, Thank you so much for sharing!
I loved the history, walks, gardens, train and music.
You, both, have such wonderful parents.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful moms!❤
Garden was magical thank you for taking us along!
I got so much joy out of watching Ziggy get a bath. He is such a good boy and reminds me of my doggie Kodi. My gosh his face those floppy ears just burst my heart open. I still miss my Pooh.
The most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen, thank you for areal pleasure🌈your rainbow Philip
I must agree, that is a very beautiful and inspiring garden.👍🏻
To all the generation’s of mothers in this video a very Happy Mothers Day from Ottawa, Ontario Canada
Always a delight to see everyone together, especially the patriarch of the family, (Anna's dad) with his lovely smile - always radiating gentleness. The garden is so so beautiful- lovely - would love to visit.
This video really makes me miss living in the UK. English gardens are just the best! 😄
Myself and my lovely wife took a trip to Exbury gardens this weekend due to this video; having never been before - We highly recommend to all.
I always enjoy going on road trips with your family. Thank you for taking us along !💕
Those gardens are absolutely spectacular. Thank you for sharing creating this video.
It's good to know that an influencer in the waste-pipe sector has all the privileges of the Queen of England.
Thank you for sharing your family's adventure in sure a magical place!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, this was the most enjoyable, funny, warm, beautiful YT video posting I have seen, and I am a "chateau YT addict." Thank you, it made my day.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just yesterday I took my family to visit a botanical garden + arboretum, and i thought that it was the most beautiful one i've seen. But, it is quite clear that the Exbury Garden is 100 times more beautiful just from the pictures! Amazing place.
I was so sad when Hildegard left! Seeing the whole family together was so special. This episode was beautiful!
Amazing how tall Ella's grown!! 😄 Absolutely beautiful ❤ Thank you for this wonderful opportunity 🥰🥰 Smiled all the way thru
It's beautiful! The English have a talent for gardening! Very beautiful ❤
Anna, the ice cream goal for the walk was a classic 😂 And it worked!! The gardens were beautiful (both of them!!). Just briefly worried that Phillip was toying with the idea of home railway, but relieved that the sailing passion has been satisfied by the new boat - happy sailing!
Thank you for sharing one of the U.K.'s beautiful gardens. Your gardens say something wonderful of the gardeners, landscape architects, families that work hard to put them together and keep them intact and the soul of your Nation. Hats off to the U.K. If the British are proud of their gardens, they are rightfully so.
I have many happy childhood memories of the new forest as my grandparents lived there. Exbury Gardens are fabulous.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mom’s. Ziggy is the sweetest dog. Love all of your parents. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful family. What a beautiful garden of azaleas and rhododendrons. Spectacular colors, textures, and varieties. Thank you for posting this on Mothers Day (United States). ❤️
It’s May and you guys are still wearing jackets. You deserve some tropical paradise. Seriously! Happy mothers’ day from Brazil!
I live about 2 miles from the gardens, beautiful
It is the garden of Eden, ❤ So beautiful. A paradise on Earth, really. And the first landscapes, I am fond of them as well. 😊
Ziggy is adorable!!!!!
Happy Mother’s Day to Anna, her mom, and Philip’s mom. Loved going with you to England and walking through those lovely gardens. And of course the train ride. When the “rhoddies” and azaleas are in bloom it is gorgeous. I just happen to live in Rhododendron, Oregon. I hadn’t realized how many colors of rhododendron there are until I moved here, some bloom early and some bloom late. Just in our little neighborhood we have about ten different colors, maybe more. They would look lovely in amongst your woods or hedge. Oh, and there are variegated ones also
Such a fun tour of a beautiful garden. I can imagine all the inspiration you were able to garner from that stroll through such beauty. Your sending off of your mother was so touching. Little Ella chasing the car down the road was so sweet. I’m sure your girls have a special relationship with all of their grandparents. It’s very sweet of you to share it with us. ❤️😊
I almost cried with that great plain, the nearing woodland, the streams, the gorse... and then the perfectly imperfect English garden. Food for the soul.
If anyone is nearby, I was just in Washington DC, and Hillwood has an impressive azalea collection! Dumbarton Oaks was glorious too.
How lovely to see the girls' sad goodbye to grandma H.
Such a beautiful vlog of mum's ,mother in law and family.🌞🎉😄
Thank you for taking us along to see that beautiful garden & the wild beauty of the NewForest🌸
Philip, I know exactly what you feel like, when you go to a garden center. I just planted all my pots for summer. 🌺🌸Just LOVE plants and scrubs. It’s really hard NOT to buy everything I see. 🥰
You went at the perfect time, so many rhododendrons in full bloom. Happy Mother’s Day!
A water feature would be a beautiful addition to your gardens. Perhaps a small water fall over the rocks as the one in the final garden shots. Hopefully have a water source. Lovely video.
Can I just say how much I enjoy Phillip’s editing and music ❤
What a magnificent Mother’s Day video the garden is one of the best in the world at its height of beauty. You could have a large piece of this in your English garden. At such a young age you will actually live to see its beauty….and the kids will enjoy it maybe on its 100th birthday.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Ladies, from Toronto
This is where I live. How wonderful to see on your film. I love it here. You have a wonderful family. My family love visiting from around the world too.
Adorable family outing, so sweet you even brought sweet Ziggy!
What an enchanting episode. Thank you.
LOVE that you include Ziggy in all your activities. What a truly lucky dog! The music this week was wonderful. And the garden made me want to go outside and plant - but I'd 11:30 at night here.
The concentration of colors in certain areas of the garden is phenomenal! Almost looks mystical!
Phillip looked very happy up in the engine car 😊
Here in Canada it’s Mothers Day so I’d like to wish a Happy Mothers Day from Canada to you dear Anna and thank you for taking me along in your beautiful creative mind and all the beauty you create, I just love it!
So enjoyed the video! Anna, Ella really favors your father! What a wonderful family you both have, enjoy every minute of it!
Loved the shots of Lily leaping over the streams, then Ella carefully crossing the stream - and the music coordination 🥰. Also laughed out loud at Philippe's transition from Ziggy's small "round space" bath to the sponsor...well done 😆
Thank you for sharing that fantastically dreamy rhododendron garden!
The gardens are beautiful. I visited Highgrove last year and they have the most incredible hydrangea walk, absolutely stunning. If my garden was big enough I’d have one too. Could be an idea for your grounds, they grow quickly and flower forever. 🤩
Thank you for taking me a long on this stunning garden tour.
Lovely to
See your family all together in the uk makes me homesick
If ever decided to run away from home I would run and hide and live in that garden! (I'm 53😂) That is my idea of the Garden of Eden!💚💚💚
I felt that way when I visited Kew Gardens. It’s so magical!
Happy Mother’s day
I was lucky enough to have a 70 year old gardener took my friend and I on a private tour of Exbury gardens and wot i loved most was the best collection of Acers ive ever seen in one Beautiful gardens ❤❤ thankyou you for this video x
Sounds great!
Round Space to SquareSpace! ❤ Best "commercial" transition ever!
It is Mother’s Day in Canada as well. Happy Mother’s Day Anna (to you and both your Mothers). It was so nice to see the close relationship with both mothers. I loved this episode (as I do all the others). It is just the beautiful English gardens that you navigated us through. Beautiful. Thank you, Merci. See you next week.
Anna, your dad is adorable. His garden is lovely.
Love it that you take Ziggy along your adventures-that garden was exquisite and so many plants/bushes, azaleas, rhododendrons and more are frequent here in WA state. The Pacific Northwest. Sad to see ‘grandma’ leave you all-you could tell how much a bond she has with the girls. Precious!! Thank you Anna and Phillip.
The Rothschild garden is an amazing paradise. All the gorgeous colors so carefully cultivated and cared for. The little train is a lovely touch. Thank you for sharing the day with us. ❤
Philipp In Heaven: stunning gardens, riding in a train up front, & sailboats!
Today 16th of May is also the day I got the keys to my house in France but sadly I had to return to Melbourne because my mum passed. 6 years later after covid then losing my dad. I again return to France full time in a few weeks and the home in Brittany I have missed so very much. Lovely to see Hilegard and your parents together and your girls are so fortunate to have both, i shed a tear when they said goodbye. The garden at Exbury is truly stunning and left me with much inspiration as to what to plant in the shade and shelter of my silver birches. I was originally thinking of hostas but now I think I will be adding in some beautiful Rhodo's, especially those that are very fragrant. Thank you for this such lovely vlog and happy anniversary.❤😊
Anna, your dad’s garden is spectacular. That’s not even the right word, but it’s hard to put into words just how beautiful it is. ❤Both of you have lovely parents. That’s funny that you bribe your girls to “walk” with you. We tried teaching our children, 40 years ago, the “w” word, but they didn’t go for it much. 😂😂
I think the only time I’ve seen that look on Philips face was while sailing. How kind of the train driver.
I’ve never seen such a garden , so magical and beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Thank you for taking us along to see those beautiful gardens. I love Rhododendrons they are so lovely. Ziggy had the time of his life. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Wow, thank you, I see potential insporation for a shahato..thank you for sharing with us. You are lovely family. Grandparents included.
When I watched the video of the garden and thought what incredible vision they must have had, I wondered, how would you begin? Then the answer came. You’d have to decide 1.How do YOU want to feel in the space, 2. What would you want others to say about your garden and 3. What are three features you want to build, grow or create in your garden. I think answering these questions help you to get started. They form the framework of your ideas. Finally remember, the end result is decades away. The journey is here and now. Design it as you would rooms in a house.
Thank you for taking us to see this beautiful garden! I love how they had created little pockets of calm within the garden that you can diacover after walking through a pathway, a row or hedges or a "tunnel" of trees. If you can do something like that in your chateau garden I'm certain it'll give a similar vibe to this garden. I can't wait to see work that you'll do at the chateau.❤
