The darling fuschia looks like tiny ballerinas dancing in your stone circle. So magical!
I watched an interview with a woman who won an award at this year's Chelsea Garden Show. Her theme was container gardening, and she did the same as you, Colette. She said it creates a microclimate that helps conserve moisture, too. To me, it's like making a painting with plants instead of pigments. 🌿💚🌾
I watched that too, and it was most inspirational! And yes, it is just like a canvas is it?
I've also noticed the rich microclimate my potted garden has created, the varieties of bees and other insects, the frogs and small lizards, birds and more I wouldn't recognise or notice overtly. Mosses and mushrooms too. Much more than my neighbours. We can all contribute to a richer and more diverse environment.
@julie-bq6iz "a painting with plants" sounds good. I hope I'm going to find that interview.
There is a certain scent from the garden that instantly makes me think of my grandma who has been gone for over 40 years. It never fails to surprise me.
Same thing happens to me! Scent is the most spiritual of the scenes. ❤️
Bonsai!
This may be my favourite video you have ever done. It makes me want to run outside and stick my hands in the earth. Magical indeed ❤
Wow, thank you! 🙏
The world of dreams. Thanks.
Absolutely breathtaking Collette!❤
It truly is magical!
I have original wooden floors in the hallway and sometimes when the sunlight shines on them through the glass in the front door I get very happy memories of my childhood….it only happens for a few seconds but it brings me back to happier days.
Isn’t it amazing that light can have such a profound effect upon us?
@@bealtainecottage yes definitely…. It can transport us back to a different time in life.
It truly is magical. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽❤
I am so very impressed with your fuschia. I thought that was a tropical plant..... learning something new every day. Impressive! ❤
Always a pleasure to wander through your garden in the morning. Your commentary shows just how much you love and nurture your land and everything you have planted. Thanks for sharing your calm and wonder of nature.
I have had an enduring love affair with mother Earth all my life!
Bealtaine is truly magical! The fuchsia you grow as trees, but I've only ever known it as something you have in a hanging basket for the hummingbirds to enjoy. You can leave your plants in pots over the winter, but here they would freeze solid, and the clay pots would crack. Your work is a shining example to people everywhere of what can be done by one determined woman. Thank you for being you and for being willing to share your gardens and woodland with the world! Blessings to you and Patsy.
I feel truly blessed to live here in the west of Ireland where the climate is so forgiving!
I watched Patsy looking around ears moving, nose up in the air in all directions, I know she feels that she can't believe how lucky she is to be around all this with you...
Pure delight Collette, thank you for sharing 💚
You've done such a fabulous job, Colette
The fuschia is beautiful, I just see hundreds of little ballerinas. It's a fantastic colour. Vibrant life is exploding all around your garden.❤
I was thinking the arrangement you created a few days ago was certainly as beautiful as any at the Chelsea flower show. The likes of Monty Don would be stupefied and humbled at the beauty of the Bealtaine garden. 🙏😊❤️
Thank you so much! ☺️
Funny story for everyone. For two years I've been eradicating annoying brambles at my new home. This year I said, I don’t care, do what you want brambles.
By letting them be, I saw them bloom: They are blackberry bushes. 😂 Mother Nature wins.
I had quite a few black raspberry bushes growing wild. Enough for me, the birds and the deer to eat. I lost a few of them over this past winter, but a noticed there are now some very healthy new vines growing in different areas in the yard! That makes me so very happy!!
😂
Those black raspberry and blackberry bushes escape very easily out of my containers and try to grow everywhere 😀
Looks like a candelabra. Lovely
Heaven on Earth does exist, and you have created it so beautifully! Many blessings to you Colette. 🥰
"And continue to create." You, Colette! You are a wonderful Garden Witch!
The back of the cottage looks so fresh and beautiful. The fuschia overhanging the stone circle is massive!! I've never seen one so large! 😍 The Mahonia has also grown so much!! I'm excited to see your updates on the old hen house. Bealtaine Cottage truly is a magical woodland sanctuary. Blessings to you and Patsy. ❤
All is evolving one way or another!
All so beautiful Colette!
Truly magical.
I love trees and never thought about growing them in containers and enjoying them that way.
You have inspired me. 😊
Blessings from Leicester England xx
Love the sound of footfall on dry leaves…….
Beautiful ❤
dear Colette, thank you so much for taking me with you through your paradise garden. And how funny the fuchsia blossoms look like dancing fairy ballerinas, so lovely. I wish you and Patsy all the best. Greetings from Switzerland
Do you know Collette if I had your lovely home and beautiful 3 acres I would probably never get any work done I’d just want to keep walking around or just sitting and soaking up all that beauty and healing magic that you with Mother Nature have created!! I have a small garden that I’m slowly trying to create into my own little patch of paradise and I love to wander or sit and soak it all up thank you for being such an inspiration ❤
I love to hear that this little garden has given so much inspiration and joy to so many people!
Your container garden is so lush.
Beautiful garden such beautiful flowers and greenery
The fushia is absolutely stunning. The only time I can grow them here is in summer. Each year, I look forward to purchasing one. I paused this video for a few minutes to pour myself a cup of coffee. I thoroughly enjoy watching while relaxing first thing in the morning. You have a lovely weekend.
The peace and beauty and the bird song of your three acres are indeed magical and so soothing. A little time out from this crazy world and all that’s going on x
The world at least the western world appears to be an absolute chaos and it is a horrible time to have to pass through!
In photography and in paintings, I always have a wonderfilled experience in the ability to capture the light. Especially when the light is on the water or in the woods. Enchanting ❤🤍🩵💚💙🌲🌳🌲🌳🪷🏝🏞🌈💧🌊🌠
Thanks Collette for sharing your life with us all ❤
You are creating a sanctuary, a haven for the betterment of our planet and our own wonderment and joy.
Patsy and all of us and the animals and amphibians as well as the birds all know that you are absolutely incredible and very generous with your heart and soul. It shows ❤
Yes, indeed the light changes everything and brings joy to all aspects of life!
Just in from my garden. Best relaxation is seeing your lovely place.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of your woodland, the birds' song and a very enjoyable narration.
Absolutely beautiful. Your ability to co-create with nature is inspiring
Paradise!🌻🌞🐝🐕
The fuchsia flowers look like tiny ballerinas!
What a cleaver idea for display. Simple is always best. Given me ideas. 😊😊love hearing the birds. 😊😊
Such beauty!! You can feel the energy coming from your stone circle, and the fuschia is like a gathering of fairies……truly magical ✨
Looking around your garden with you and I expect to see fairies come out of the bushes. Truly magical 🧚🏻🧚🏻
Bless you and your land.
Fuchsias only grow outdoors in warm weather here because winters are too cold here in Virginia. I do love them and so do the wrens, which nest in them almost every year. How lucky you are to grow one year round.
Many people regard Ireland has been too wet, but for me it is the most beautiful temperate climate.
I did not know fuscia could grow so tall! How wonderful! 🌿
Thank you for sharing the bounty and beauty of your garden. I allow myself very few delights right now. I feel it is my duty to hold a space of mourning. Your voice is calming and your garden shows me why beauty during horror is so important. Thank you for your labor and for bringing some beauty to a world that is so ugly right now.
Good afternoon Colette a garden to behold magic and majestic especially the Fushia My container garden on the front of my house and no dig beds are full of colour and it's a micro climate I had created, using Tenby palms and ferns, mahonia and orange blossom trees,
I also have a micro climate in my back garden with willow trees more palms and Acers rose trees & many more,
All this done on a budget over 12 years, cuttings gifts no dig except for the willows originally had to be planted deep, as I imagine you did with most of your trees, each autumn I cover the small woodland area with leave fall small branches cuttings and this produces rich earth beneath. I learnt a lot from my father and mother both generous gardeners, the rest is learn and grow with the plants as they develop so does my knowledge. It's why we garden isn't it to help Goddess Gaia. To put back what has over the earlier years been taken from her, and the wild life that depends so much on her. Hugs and Blessings.to you 💚🌹
What a paradise you have created! Amazing! 🤩🍀⚘🌻.
Love and magic are the two key ingredients of your garden Collette! 💚💚💚
Yes they are!
HA! I'm "regrouping" myself today. I've been immursed in the horrors of the outer world and getting quite depressed.
TIME FOR A CHANGE! Thanks again, Colette. ❤❤❤
Dearest Kate, I know what you mean about the issues that are happening in our world.
There is only one world and our well-being and our freedom to live together harmoniously and joyously in this world is a very important part of our journey together with peacefulness and compassion with a healthy perspective on what is best for our survival and our own unique soul's purpose for creating a sanctuary for ourselves, others and the environment.
Even if we don't have any garden space or the physical strength to have a potted plant 🌿, we still have to continue to be present with recognition of our responsibilities as humane citizens of the world.
We need more of us to spread our love, dreams, creativity, time, happiness, joy and peace in the process of healing and learning from each experience with compassion and understanding through our own personal choices of what we do with our own individual interests and abilities to help us usher in a way of peacefulness and care for ourselves. Others and the environment with tenderness and nurturing ❤
Don't let the Devil steal your joy ❤
You are so appreciated and needed for our society to function effectively with the energies of respect and integrity ❤
A delightful tour of your beautiful woodland. Thank you.
The candles on that Scots pine are extraordinary! I’ve never seen one put on that much new growth but I shouldn’t be surprised if Miss Colette is taking care of it. A master gardener with or without the piece of paper.
A very enthusiastic gardener is all I am. However, I am delighted to read such a comment!
You've created an absolutely beautiful and magical place to live for yourself. I really admire you and your endeavors.
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely stunning Colette I could look at trees all day and listen to your voice with your wonderful words of wisdom!
Continue manifesting and creating it’s food for the soul! Gorgeous
I’m watching and knitting socks! 🧶
💙💚💙💚💙💚🌲🌿🪵🪴🌱🌳🍄sending love to you Colette and Patsy and all the wonderful singing birds and everyone else watching!
The Best Is Yet To Come ❤️💜❤️🕊️🙏🌎
And at the moment I’m watching an episode of cracker on RUclips and knitting a poncho! Birds of a feather eh?
Joy! 💚✨✨
I loved the last two videos Colette they were more like your old ones where you just walked around with your camera and uploaded the video raw. So natural. Only thing that was missing was Jack. X 🌳🌳🌳
I do a lot of container gardening on my channel, I love the fact that you can move them around in different seasons xxx
Just love love your woodland Colette & adding container garden has added another dimension. Your love for mother nature seems endless ❤Kerry Australia
I love the stone circle Colette, it looks like stepping back in time into a patch of ancient Ireland. I can only imagine the energy when resting there. As always an amazing, uplifting video. Wishing you and Patsy a wonderful day! 💚💚
There is a beautiful sense of timelessness in and around the stone circle.
I found out about London Pride plant from you! I was able to find some and now I’m continually dividing it and dispersing this wonderful plant everywhere in my garden. I adore this “fairy” plant! It is happy to thrive in a basket or a broken pot, on a rock wall, any corner or crevice. Thank you Colette🐇
It is a fantastic plant, isn’t it?
Hello Colette . It’s always a treat to walk around your garden with you. Thank you. Love from Devon
Your garden is so beautiful! It is unbelievable that it’s all containers. 💕
The fuchsia looks like tiny little snow fairies.😊
Magical just beautiful 😍 love ❤️ your garden
Good Morning Collette! So happy to see this after being disgusted by the morning news once again. Thank you for this welcomed diversion. I just finished watching the video and it is so wonderful to see all of these different varieties. You had a dogwood there with a type of flower I never saw before. The fuscia was magnificent. I am in awe of you and what you created. Many blessings and thank you.
I am so glad that I don’t have TV and have stayed TV free for over 20 years.
Good morning Garden Goddess~
I love watching your videos because I learn so much!! I look forward to hearing the different names of all of "your babies" lol. You show us all, everyday, just how easy with love and care it is to nurture our earth. Thank you for giving us all such confidence 💚
Blessings in abundance to you and Bealtaine Cottage xx
It’s always a pleasure to share.
Always love a visit to your gardens. Thank You!
Good morning, Colette, I was thinking of planting some herbs in some pots just under our window as it is a very shady area. Love your display of potted plants and the Buddah statues! Enjoy the rest of your day, Blessings to you and little Patsy ❤❤
Beautiful creative pot display, always learn something from your videos Colette thank you
Good Morning, Colette and Patsy! I love how innovative you are with your container garden and how everything somehow becomes an art installation enhancing everything else around it. It has shown me that no matter how small your garden might be there is always room to grow something for the benefit of nature. So lovely. Blessings to you and Patsy. Debs X
That’s a very good way of describing it, Lee. An art installation is close to my heart.
How lovely. The life that you give to this Earth. Thank you for your giving and sharing. 💚
Hello Colette
Thank you for this. We just had sad news but a walk in a local small wood, followed by a visual walk around your even more beautiful small wood has lifted my spirits.
Oh, my goodness! The fuscia is stunning! I had no idea they could grow so tall. Just add a couple of cuttings among our trees.
Nature always manages to keep us grounded and sane, even in the most difficult of times!
Thank you for sharing your magical woodland Colette; your fuchsias looks like many fairies
I have a lot of trees and Bealtaine is a beautiful inspiration to create the same enchantment in my garden.
🌿💚🌱
The lovely thing about trees is that they look after themselves and create a beautiful habitat around themselves too!
Magical indeed! Thank you for sharing Colette. Cheers
Thank you for that Colette, absolutely amazing how your container plants have grown, truly magical xx💕
Very artistic and creative AND beautiful. Lovely. Smiles to you from Oklahoma, USA.
Thank you so much 😊
☘☘☘Magical indeed! Much gratitude 🙏🙏✨✨🌳🌳🌳🌳
Such beauty and magic beyond words❤️
It is spectacular, Colette! There a real art to arranging container gardens. I lived this video! 🌸🌸🌸🪴
I shall do some more flower arranging as the summer progresses.
My husband building a hoop house for me I do have a small greenhouse so I put a container garden in this year for most of my vegetables but also my herbs and flowers and I also put what I can into the ground I just love it
Sounds great!
I love the birdsong, we dont get many, we have some starlings moved in.your garden is magnificent. BB. Xx
Thank you for letting us stroll through the garden with you... such a delight and very inspiring as well! ❤
Your container garden is beautiful!
Love to see the stone circle.. Truly magical land. That fuchsia is something else.. a work of art. The foxglove is going to be beautiful when it opens.. Hope to see it again when it is fully open.. my favourite I think. 🌿🌿
blessed be Colette and Patsy much love and respect to you all..goddess smiles upon your lands ..overgrow overshare overcare overseed everywhere worldwide..have a great day cheers
I honour the goddess in all I do here on the land.
@@bealtainecottage i so know you do blessed be
Greetings from a horticulturist in Co. Wicklow. You are doing a great job Colette ❤
Hello there!
This video was very enjoyable. I think you have done an amazing job and it is most definitely magical! Thank you for sharing.
What a glorious garden, stunning tour , a visual feast, Bealtaine is bejewelled with abundance and graceful light and birdsong.. I marvel at every turn you took .. from the oaks you planted becoming the mighty beings they are to the woodland daisy clump offering the Fairies a napping nook to the Fuschia Palace in the Stone Circle ready for a moonlit ball I am sure!
Ahhhh! I'm waiting and watching for my invito the ball! I LOVE YOUR COMMENT 💚🌳🧚🏻♀️ Merry May to you !
I love that… bejewelled with abundance!
dear Colette........Its always a pleasure for me to see your garden...thank you so much for showing..............Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany and a big hug for Patsy☘☘☘
Thank you for the lovely container garden and beyond tour. It’s so beautiful.
I live in Arizona. You’re living the dream. Good job! 👏🏻 💕
You are so welcome!
So pretty, Colette. So darn pretty. You must get such great satisfaction from the fruits of your labor? Do you know anything at all about the history of your cottage? “The folks of yore?”
I know a little bit and some history of the land around.
Would you mind showing in one of your videos how you multiply red current?
It is such a simple thing to do! Take a heel cutting in mid autumn and stick it straight into the Earth.
❤❤❤❤
Beautiful fushia ❤ loves the energy magical !
It’s a much better day here as yesterday was cold and showery, I will get some more planting an weeding done later, I notice how well the container plants do when watered/fed regularly, I am leaving the back garden to grow through no mo May month and then made a bee house from some post wood, I use a seaweed feed on the garden as it is safe for birds n animals n insects n such, can you perhaps when time allows include an update on the vegetable plot and polly tunnel, keep safe as per
Seaweed is a wonderful gift from the sea for helping us fertilise our gardens!
My favourite fuchsia! I also have a (huge) potted garden, as a renter, that sometimes makes me doubt my sanity, but like you, I cannot refrain from picking seeds, cuttings etc, to give them life, a chance of self-expression. I'm not the only one, then!
It’s a joyous hobby to have as you are constantly giving life!
A really beautiful garden!
Incredible as usual! Thank you!
💜
Thanks!
Thank you so much Marian for your gift! It is much appreciated, especially at this time. Blessings xxx Colette
Beautiful x
