Ash, the garden is absolutely breathtaking. I can only imagine, in a couple of years, how it will look! My hat is off to you, Tracy, Terry, Shane,Karen, Rob, family n friends, and anyone else that has helped you all take a forgotten mess and turn it into something magical. It's been a pleasure watching your progress! Thank you. Oh, and most importantly and never to be forgotten to Patrick, your project manager, a huge thank you for all your long hrs of digging, supervision and moral support! Job well done to all!
Ash you did a phenomenal job recapping the video today! From the discovery of the garden, uncovering and clearing it, and sharing the plans for a wonderful formal garden that makes the chateau look grand. We see this was no easy task. Thank you to the LaLacelle team and their loving family, patreons and subscribers. The reward of your hard labors is evident. The beauty of the chateau is starting to shine. Keep up the great work! You were meant to do what you are doing. Thank you for sharing! We (subscribers) are proud of all your accomplishments! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
The Garden will be perfect! I imagine the sunlight, the play of shades, the breeze, the birds chirp, the flowers aroma in the air, the movement of bees and beetles - the beauty and harmony for vision, hearing and smell. And, I think the Sundial is on the absolutely right place. Both physically and symbolically.
That was a very good band. From an era when handmade music was the only option. This fits nicely into this restoring project, which is also done with passionate manual handicraft. Chapeau of. ;-)
I remember watching those first videos and telling my daughter “these people are living in caravans in the depth of a French winter while restoring a chateau!” It’s just amazing what you as a family have achieved, those 4 years have flown but ye gods you’ve all worked so so hard. It’s lovely watching how happy and proud you are of what you’ve achieved ❤️
It's amazing you didn't throw your hands up and go off screaming into the night! Instead, you stuck with,through lumps and bumps, and now you're polishing the diamond. Congratulations, even though you've got miles to go. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊
It's incredible that you walked upon that property all those years ago and didn't run away. You saw the potential, and had faith in yourselves that you could do what needed to be done. Stunning. Well done you (all of you)!
I have goosepimples! I loved this before and after video! My father, who still maintains all of the gardens in front of his building, is 91yrs old. He keeps a notebook with his plant information, packets of seeds, dried specimens. When he was still a fireman, the front of his firehouse had 2 bare empty squares with dead trees in the centers near the sidewalk. After he got done with them they were absolutely stunning. The firehouse itself was one of the first in the city. Needless to say, it was a beautiful historical site to see! Sorry for the long comment. I just wanted all of you to know that many of us appreciate the massive task you all undertook with the chateau as well as the grounds. I, for one, have great admiration for all of you ❤
As i 've watch from the begining of your dreams ,you done wonders ,no words ,i'm lost ,for what you've all done ,All this hard work ,sure as paid off ,When the wall fell ,i really felt for Terry ,at the time ,4 years can't believe ,You all never gave in ,and won ,Bless you all ,🌹🌻
A gargantuan achievement already. This episode really shows the extraordinary effort that has gone in to creating this wonderful garden. Cheers to all of you.
I give full credit to those that save history and rebuild the wonderful homes of the past. Congratulations to you and your family, you didn't let the reaper claim such a wonderful property.
I've watched EVERY video since you bought the chateau. Your family has worked WONDERS restoring and bringing it back to life. The walled garden is and will become an even more magical space for people to enjoy. I'm looking forward to seeing if La LaCelle becomes a venue for local parties, weddings, etc. We salute you all!
I showed my mom how the garden looked few months ago and she couldn’t believe how much you have done in such a short time. All of you are just amazing.
Ash, your face lights up with so much passion and pride with what you have done in the garden.you are a gem. Love listening to you talk about the garden. Keep up the amazing work. And the rest of the family, Terry, Tracy and Patrick and of course other family members. 🙏🙏👏👏❤️
This has been such an amazing journey. Seeing the footage of the last 4 years reveals just how much blood, sweat and tears it has taken to reach this stage. But, my goodness, what an incredible achievement and just how beautiful and 'fitting' is this garden even in its infancy. So many congratulations to everyone involved in this superb transformation 👏
My husband keeps a Yard Diary. He draws maps every year and places them in a pocket he made in the back of the book “Joy of Gardening” by Dick Raymond.
What you have all achieved in such a short number of years is staggering. Just shows"where there is a will, there is a way". Where you are now is absolutely incredible. Imagine the next 4 years.....wow!! ❤
Ash, that is such a great description of how we all got to this point. You all did the hard work of clearing the trees, making the beds and paths. Shayne, of course, gets credit for the fabulous design. Wow! Thank you for this great summary. Thrilled to be a part of it all.
The way you describe everything makes the amount of work you all put in so much more tangible and imaginable. Of course we followed parts of the whole process but looking at the vlogs it seems so much easier then the reality ; the stress , huge efforts and back-breaking work it took to actually do it. My respect for you all grew even more. Thank you for taking us with you , so happy that you finally can reap and enjoy the results , have a great weekend
Loved the walk and talk through. You have all changed your lives in such a profound way. I wonder how the family feels 4yrs on, you have rebuilt a bespoke chateau and designed outstanding landscaped gardens. You all made it happen. When you guys ran a pet store, or Ash when you and Terry met, would any of this family have believed your destiny for the future? Congratulations to every single one of you. ♥️🤗
There truly are no words for what you all have done . It’s quite unbelievable how hard you’ve worked not to mention your vision. I’m absolutely so impressed, your stamina, determination, craziness!!!! Just stunning!!! Again the bonds you’ve made with your audience and wonderful people that have come to help is such a gift 👏👏👏🎉💖
The garden even being brand new with young plants, looks amazing. Shane's design is so elegant. I can't wait to see it in a couple of years. Jonathan will probably get married there.
Ash, what a transformation. I had forgotten already how the garden looked since you first arrived and the many stages it went through until today. The sun dial is a nice touch. You were able to quell doubts since the cypress trees are not the shade trees I had envisioned you were planning for that site. Everyone did a fantastic job to get you to where you are today. 😊
What a difference time and having a vision makes!! CONGRATS to Team Lalacelle! You are staying the course with such dedication AND determination to bring har back to life!! You all love her so much!!
"Oh WOW what a huge project along with all the windows, rooms or suites, this garden is just majestic!" You've also renovated a Chateau in the midst of a pandemic! You give mankind hope that there's people who love and respect each other and want to help each other when we got a war going on in Russia and Ukraine! It means there's heart and soul out there keeping us together as friends and neighbors! You guys are my RUclips family and I love you so dearly! God Bless You!🙏❤
I remember how overgrown the garden was. You couldn't even tell there were tiers. There is such a tremendous amount of work you have put into it. I don't generally comment but what you guys have done is amazing. It is a journey putting the plants in. There is no way it can happen it all at once and then it matures.
Ash, you are a natural in front of the camera. I remember every step of the way but re-capping the way it looked when you first walked through the property to where you are today in only a few short years is hard to fathom. So it’s a good thing it’s all on video because it’s really hard to believe. The garden is absolutely stunning and it’s as if the area between the two staircases was always meant to have a garden like this, but no one before you tackled such a huge project. Congratulations!!! ❤
There are no words to what your family have achieved in just four years. It has to be the most stunning transformation on you tube. Big love to you all ❤❤❤
I can't believe it's been 4 years already. Even in its "brown" state the garden looks so gob smakingly stunning and I bet the camera doesn't do it justice as opposed to seeing it in person. I totally agree with the sundial placement. It couldn't be more beautiful. I'm looking forward to more transformation.
That was a wonderful video, thank you! To see where you started and where you are now is incredible! I did the same with my garden, albeit on a much, much smaller scale, but I took photos all the way through the redevelopment. You forget how much you have achieved until you look back. It is such a boost when you can see how far you have come. So well done to all of you, and I love the sundial in the centre!
I love the mulch idea. You can split the garden into zones. One zone on Monday, etc. That way it never gets overwhelming. I would also plant as many ground cover plants as possible. If you garden is full of them, there will be no room for weeds. And your life will be easier! And many of the ground covers are beautiful plants too.
Hard to believe 4 years have gone , you all have achieved so much through your hard work, the grounds have come back to life just absolutely incredible and stunning.
The pedestal and sundial will be absolutely perfect in that location. Simple and elegant. What you have accomplished is remarkable. All the sweat and toil have been rewarded.
I remember seeing clips of how this chateau and garden looked like 4 years ago. Such a beautiful transformation. Bravo to all involved in making this chateau and surrounding gardens beautiful again 🎉😍😘
So nice to wake up and see ash’s happy face. You all have done an amazing restoring the old girl 🏰 back to life. Thanks for taking me with you. Looking forward to many more journeys.🐨😃
This garden will put the crown on the chateau. The design is stunning and the work you have done to get to this point should make you justly proud. What a fabulous bunch of people you are!🥰
Love the original base for a sundial having pride of place in the centre! Shane must be so proud of all your work and seeing his vision come to life. Congratulations to your team and all the love that went into this legacy creation!✨🌸✨
A proper English garden is always breathtaking. I have some creeping snapdragons that shift locations in my gardens. You motivated me to work on my own overgrown garden. I removed all of the grass and thistle (that’s its own story) and planted and built it up with rich garden soil….gorilla hair mulch is next. It’s finely shredded cedar, so not to blow away in the wind. I have perennials that I plant in pots and then move them from time to time so they reseed in other locations…..works like a charm❤ THANK YOU, All, for motivating me…..much needed.
It’s unbelievable to see what the space used to be! It was the dickens of a job, but you’ve all made it beautiful…and really done the chateau proud with your take on the gardens. I love it..
What an outstanding accomplishment! Your storytelling brought a big smile to my face-- you remembered and recounted so well and with infectious enthusiasm. It's simply a stunning result. It is a far fancier garden than the original, and so much of the work was slogged on with just the 2 brothers and MOM. Oh, don't forget the helpful dachshund. Thank you for this wonderful episode.
The garden will last far beyond any of us alive today. It truly is your gift to an amazing château that has the good fortune of having you and your family as its caretakers. Well done.
Stunning is the only word I can use. No words can truly describe the amount of hard work and love that's gone into that garden... Not just the garden but all the other Chateau restoration as well. Fantastically well done Everyone ! And thanks for finding the time to share it all with your fans. Phil (UK).
The new garden is just a thing of beauty. Love seeing the “before and after” to remind us of just how much of a transformation it has been. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
I've watched since the beginning phases, but it's really lovely to hear and see the story of how far you have all come with this. So much hard work, and it shows!
Loved loved loved this retrospective of the creation of the LaLacelle formal garden. What an epic! Tons or work and gravel. Also enjoyed some of the video footage of the initial clearing of the existing overgrowth. Teamwork makes the Dream work for sure. Bravo to the family, the extended family and all the helpers who made it happen.
Weeding can get very overwhelming. Divide your garden into zones. Have a print out of the zones in your office. Weed each zone on a specific day. Whoever feels like weeding that day knows exactly what zone needs to be tackled. Nothing gets forgotten and each sections gets tended to within a weeks period. You may also look into applying pre emergent. I put it on my lawn ( 3 times between February and May- growing Zine 9) and it made a big difference. I sprayed it in the flower beds in Spring, but only one application.
I am beyond amazed by your progress. Your vision is inspiring. I look forward to every video because the transformation of the Chateau is so incredible. Thanks for all you do!
Everything is stunning. I remember watching ALL of those episodes, from the beginning, wondering how you folks would ever make it to the end. You’ve done a marvelous job. Keep up the amazing work. When you find weeds, may I suggest that they are usually easier to remove when they’re wet, so try to pull them in the morning, after the soaker hoses have given them all a drink. Love the progress. All the faith you’ll see it through. Watching your every episode in Mexico City.
As a Landscaper, Horticulturist & avid gardener, it's quite easy to visualize your stunning garden. I know the scale of work this entails, as we have also done major gardening projects as a family. It has been phenomenally magical watching yous, your family, friends & everyone in your team put your garden together from the very beginning. As an avid fan, thank you all for taking me & my family on your journey. Not only for your garden but your gorgeous chateau & your mum & dads stunning home. Much love & light to you all. May you continue to be blessed with good health, strength, courage, & a unique bond of love, passion, & we also love your humility. Kia ora, (Thank you), from The Tipene Whanau, (Family), Aotearoa, New Zealand. ...Yous are truly creating, history, globally. 🙏❤
I loved the narration of your journey Ash, you have a natural talent in expressing yourself really well. What a great job, I always love the aerial shots of the Château and the garden ❤😊👋
Your hard work and perseverance has metamorphosed into a butterfly, Oh my what an achievement both inside and out. Credit to you all, united we achieve is so true.
Hi Ash, Can I just say you done an exceptional job explaining all that has happened. We get it, we have watched from the beginning. You sound so excited, I am excited for you . What you have all completed is so fantastic, and got us through the xhit. Made you get up and go do something, or you felt lazy. THANKYOU.
Everything you have talked about n inserting the old footage I remember all of it. In looking back it really is unbelievable and amazing to see how it looks now. You all have done so much work. how it looks now seemed so far away to get to where its at now. BEAUTIFUL you three are force to be reckon with. You 3 should be very very proud of yourselves and Johnathan has learned life skills n hard work from you 3. Lucky boy sooner then u think will be to be young man by then the chateau will be completed
Ash. Thanks for the the great tutorial on the garden's history. You all have done fantastic work on bringing the Chataeux back to Glory. The Garden will be an ongoing living legacy to you,Terry and all team .
Ash, the garden is absolutely breathtaking. I can only imagine, in a couple of years, how it will look! My hat is off to you, Tracy, Terry, Shane,Karen, Rob, family n friends, and anyone else that has helped you all take a forgotten mess and turn it into something magical.

Oh, and most importantly and never to be forgotten to Patrick, your project manager, a huge thank you for all your long hrs of digging, supervision and moral support! Job well done to all!
Haha. Thanks so much Joyce 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Joyce!
I love it. All that helped, hats off to you. Chateau is smiling more and more. Outside and inside are amazing. I’m so proud of all of you.
Ash you did a phenomenal job recapping the video today!

Sundial is the perfect thing. Great decision. Ash you are a very natural presenter I love listening to you speak.
Thanks Gretchen 🥰

Well said!
This is what is meant by “Blood, Sweat and Tears”. Job well done and blessings to come….
Thank you 🙏😊
That was a very good band. From an era when handmade music was the only option.
This fits nicely into this restoring project, which is also done with passionate manual handicraft.

The day the wall fell and emotions leaked out was the day your fan base let you know how much you all are loved and supported.
Crying happy tears for you all. I gasped out loud being reminded of the wall collapse. Standing ovation to all of you.

I can't believe it's been 4 years already. Even in its "brown" state the garden looks so gob smakingly stunning and I bet the camera doesn't do it justice as opposed to seeing it in person. I totally agree with the sundial placement. It couldn't be more beautiful. I'm looking forward to more transformation.
You are the only people who could have done this. It is much more than a restoration. It is a miracle.
That was a wonderful video, thank you! To see where you started and where you are now is incredible! I did the same with my garden, albeit on a much, much smaller scale, but I took photos all the way through the redevelopment. You forget how much you have achieved until you look back. It is such a boost when you can see how far you have come. So well done to all of you, and I love the sundial in the centre!
Just having the grass come up will make this even more beautiful! I think it is going to become prettier every year as the plants grow.
I’m at a loss. The before and after is probably the most impactful I’ve ever seen ❤
The transformation is incredible. Miracle workers is what you are.
I love the mulch idea. You can split the garden into zones. One zone on Monday, etc. That way it never gets overwhelming. I would also plant as many ground cover plants as possible. If you garden is full of them, there will be no room for weeds. And your life will be easier! And many of the ground covers are beautiful plants too.
Thanks Lisa 🥰
What a legacy to leave for future generations of the chateau and the surrounding community!
Thank you 🙏😊
What you have accomplished is absolutely spectacular. Brilliantly done. I can see people enjoying your garden for years to come. Bravo.
Wonderful story of the incredible garden transformation, and so well shown and narrated by Ash! As always, stellar camera work and editing!
Thanks Cristina 🥰
I've heard that with perennials it's, "The first year they sleep, the next year they creep and the 3rd year they leap." I'm looking forward to it all.
Hard to believe 4 years have gone , you all have achieved so much through your hard work, the grounds have come back to life just absolutely incredible and stunning.
Just looking at the final results of your work it's hard to believe y'all aren't professionals from the start. It's just amazing how far you've came.
Thanks so much 😊
Agree completely! This is result of research , preparation and bloody hard work.
You really have done an amazing job with the chateau and especially now, the garden. I can’t wait to see it mature.🤩
Thanks so much! 😊
So grateful for Patrick and his spectacular hard work and drive , truly stunning.
The pedestal and sundial will be absolutely perfect in that location. Simple and elegant. What you have accomplished is remarkable. All the sweat and toil have been rewarded.

This garden will put the crown on the chateau. The design is stunning and the work you have done to get to this point should make you justly proud. What a fabulous bunch of people you are!🥰
What a dream and now it’s a reality. The formal garden is your stamp on the Chateau and its Magnificent ❤
Love the original base for a sundial having pride of place in the centre! Shane must be so proud of all your work and seeing his vision come to life. Congratulations to your team and all the love that went into this legacy creation!✨🌸✨

Great recap…….unreal amount of work and material involved ……crack on
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
4 years of a heck of a lot oh hard work.
It’s unbelievable to see what the space used to be! It was the dickens of a job, but you’ve all made it beautiful…and really done the chateau proud with your take on the gardens. I love it..
What an outstanding accomplishment! Your storytelling brought a big smile to my face-- you remembered and recounted so well and with infectious enthusiasm. It's simply a stunning result. It is a far fancier garden than the original, and so much of the work was slogged on with just the 2 brothers and MOM. Oh, don't forget the helpful dachshund. Thank you for this wonderful episode.
Gorgeous. Your blood sweat and tears. Paying off.
Thank you 🙏😊
Being a novice gardener myself, I can appreciate the amount of work that has been done, I congratulate you all.
The garden will last far beyond any of us alive today. It truly is your gift to an amazing château that has the good fortune of having you and your family as its caretakers. Well done.
Stunning is the only word I can use. No words can truly describe the amount of hard work and love that's gone into that garden... Not just the garden but all the other Chateau restoration as well. Fantastically well done Everyone ! And thanks for finding the time to share it all with your fans.
Phil (UK).
The new garden is just a thing of beauty. Love seeing the “before and after” to remind us of just how much of a transformation it has been. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Thank you 🙏😊
Wow what a grand difference
So exiting
Thank you 🙏😊
The one true thing that’s gotten you to this point is the unrelenting hard work you’ve all put into this. You are all amazing!
You'll have a mini Versailles --- love your tee - my home town.
Thanks Carol 🥰🥰
I've watched since the beginning phases, but it's really lovely to hear and see the story of how far you have all come with this. So much hard work, and it shows!
Thanks Heidi 🥰
It makes your chateau majestic! Truly!

Very goood idea zoning the weeding areas on a printed plant.
I am beyond amazed by your progress. Your vision is inspiring. I look forward to every video because the transformation of the Chateau is so incredible. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Everything is stunning. I remember watching ALL of those episodes, from the beginning, wondering how you folks would ever make it to the end. You’ve done a marvelous job. Keep up the amazing work. When you find weeds, may I suggest that they are usually easier to remove when they’re wet, so try to pull them in the morning, after the soaker hoses have given them all a drink. Love the progress. All the faith you’ll see it through. Watching your every episode in Mexico City.

It has been phenomenally magical watching yous, your family, friends & everyone in your team put your garden together from the very beginning. As an avid fan, thank you all for taking me & my family on your journey. Not only for your garden but your gorgeous chateau & your mum & dads stunning home.
