Allen thanks for bringing some sunshine to this trying time!
Melody King yes my thought exactly
Yes, thank you so much 🙏
I remember the early days of your show and how I LOVED this house and the gardens! Thank you for taking us back on this tour.
Wonderful to see the fruit of your effort. I remember watching way back when. Your vision was perfect.
This garden is like an old friend😊 simply marvelous
Agreed! So nostalgic
This house and garden is in your book which I have had for many years, It's amazing how a well-cared for garden can last a lifetime... A real beauty!
I so appreciate you taking us through your home garden, so beautiful!
What a beautiful garden! I love the way you explain everything, your voice is so calming in such a trying time in our country. Thank you so much!
Trying time on this planet....
I come a year later to your video. Always a joy to check in with your garden walks of knowledge. 2021 May is opening up with splendid colors in middle America. Thank you!
Allen, I love the intrigue created by your garden rooms. Your lovely garden design takes my breath away... so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us!
How nostalgic to see you in this beautiful garden again and to see what it looks like over the years. Often wondered if you still had it as I remember it so well from many years ago on your show! At the time I lived in an apartment with a small deck and would just day dream about such a dreamy space. Now with a large garden that needs design this is super helpful on reflection. Thank you for sharing and Happy Spring!!
It’s all just so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your designs for the garden and home!. Nooks and crannies and secret gardens, oh my! Anyway, at times I have had white blooms in the garden just to be able to see and enjoy them in the evening by moonlight or candlelight. Oh, and I am so glad to see you on CZcams!
Good morning from the river valley. Thank you for sharing a little ray of sunshine in the terrible times.
"There's always next year, right?" that is my mantra! I totally resonate with you :) thanks for another wonderful video!
Thank you for a beautiful inspiration. I am in the middle of transforming my yard into a dreamy, classic, slightly romantic memorial garden for my late husband, but for a fussy sea peninsula town in south coastal Massachusetts with cold winters and crazy winds on stormy days... so I have my work cut out for me, but I am inspired and I will get this done, for him, for myself, for his legacy. Lovely garden, thank you!
Reminds me so much of British gardens. Wonderfully laid out and beautifully designed. Just a lovely oasis.
Your Spring tour was perfect timing; absolutely inspiring! This spring and given the circumstances, I have turned an old brush pile into a cut-flower/cottage garden. It's shaping up nicely!
Thank you for sharing! Hope you are keeping well, ginger tea (w/a little lemon and honey) is a great immune booster!
Love this! Everything is so beautiful 😍
What a lovely little garden Mr. Smith. What a way to make a beautiful with a fountain. Using some big planters to add to your garden to plant different plants.
Beautiful gardens! Love the whites, yellow s and green with splashes of color here and there!!
Thank you for showing us the most beautiful garden tour. Wish I could see it.
Beautiful garden. A great place to sit down and enjoy the solitude.
Thank you for opening your gardens for us to see. I dream of visiting someday!
We need this today! A break from the world we live in these days. Thanks from Dallas!
We Love your garden design. Your style inspired me to create our own little place of beauty.
I thank God I have a garden after 30 years where the birds come and sing to me each morning. Especially during these times.... Our family had planned a “bucket list” trip to come see Moss Farms on May 1st. So sad that we can’t fly to Arkansas from NC. If our country wasn't in lockdown, I would even drive there. I had my heart set on seeing your beautiful work. God bless & stay safe.
So lovely. Thank you. Spring is so refreshing. I have hundreds of spring bulbs myself, & after so many years, it's time to lift & divide them. It's mid July now, so hope to be ready by fall. My plan is to create some new beds using Hugelkultur to make use of lots of trimmed off & fallen branches, in a sloped back & front yard. You've given me some good ideas.
Always a regular viewer of your programs, just love your videos.
I could actually live in your gardens. They are so beautiful.
We would all love to spend the day in your garden. Just beautiful! ps I didnt know tulip magnolia could be a tree too. I've only seen it as a bush.
Depends on how far North or South (in this case) you live. Thanks for watching! 💚
I will have my coffee brewing! 🌼🌿☀️
The boxwood in my entry could use some pickets behind them too. It was fun spending time with you here. I hope y’all are well. Hope to see you soon.
Anything you touch turns beautiful...
Hope your doing well Allen. Love you!
What an amazing retreat your garden is. And a wonderful gift to your neighborhood. Great tips too. Thankyou for sharing this lovely place.
Hi! I've always been a vegetable gardener but taking some time this year to learn more about flowers and other foliage. Thank you for the great video, very beautiful plants!
Love it! Absolutely
Just beautiful
Thank you brought me smiles
Absolutely stunning!!
Your garden is so beautiful. I couldn’t keep the joy to myself, so I shared your video with my family and friends. Thanks Allen.
Thank you! 💚
Thank you! Your city garden is one of my favorites.
Just gorgeous! :). Thank you.
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you!
Stunning I have loved your relaxed vidio of your gorgeous garden, it’s my first time to see it 👍😍
I love your garden tours, brings joy to my life!
Your words of advice ring in my ear. I am a point where I am taking on the challenge of designing my very large back yard. I definitely need different spaces and colour schemes, and uses for the yard. I just love the idea of garden rooms. i am not sure how far I will get this year with all the business's being closed until end of May/June, but I will try to make a go of it.
Thanks for all your inspiration.
A beautiful garden! Those magnolias are breathtaking! Always inspired by you, thank you and happy spring!
Thank you. Be well.
Geez, thats beautiful!🌼🌱
Thank you. I really needed this garden moment 🌷
Thank you for the Spring tour! Those magnolia trees are magnificent!! Lots of inspiration for my garden this fall.
Can't wait
I just love this video!!
Thank you so much. Such a beautiful garden and home.
Beautiful!!
Great garden tour. Contrasts nicely with my English garden tour in North West England
Thank you for the garden tour, much needed for this pandemic, I love your style! I especially love the boxwoods and it inspired me to plant more in Minnesota. At least we can get outside and garden to feel somewhat normal during these trying times.
Your videos bring me peace. Your voice soothes me during this scary time
Love that wallflower and your trees are just beautiful too. Thank you for sharing. Stay happy and healthy. 💐
Stunning, a breath of fresh air much needed. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.
Beautiful! Delightful garden rooms, meandering from one magical space to another - you have lovely shrubs, and trees, and flowers, and plants - Oh My! Just Wonderful! Thank you so much for the tour - for sharing your space with the rest of us. Looking forward as spring progresses where you are and seeing all that unfolds there, please do share a follow up video! HaPpY Springtime!
I've lifted so many ideas from you over the years...thank you for your expertise, but also for your encouragement and joy!
Beautiful. Restive and artistic. I am a Pisces so LOVE the water feature in any garden.
Thanks for the advice on Neem oil for the Rose's. I use it for the Sable Palms I've planted and Maintain. It works well for the mites
🌞🌷Such a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing sure does bring sunshine to my heart. 🥰 Have a beautiful day!
Amazing garden and explanation of it!!!!!!!!!
Lovely Spring tour. Thank you. Good advice about the importance of designing a garden from the outset.
Allen thank you again for the excellent tour you gave today. Yes the snow on your roses 🌹is magical and the water garden is pretty. After watching your tour I went outside and trimmed all my bushes in my front yard tomorrow is another day thank you again.🙂
Hi Allen, a beautiful garden with that combination of colors and plants you made, thanks for sharing and for the tips.💖💐💖💐
Thank you for your tour and the design tips. You have such a nice way about you that I always feel welcomed into your spaces. The garden is absolutely lovely!
Always classy, Allen.
Thalia is so beautiful, definitely putting it on my list for next year. It's wonderful to see such established gardens but that you try new things with the under plantings and pairings! Gardening has been such a comfort for me these days. Best to you and yours, hope you're staying safe!
Simply beautiful 💜💜 So agree about having a water feature in the garden! I built a small pond when I started mine years ago and it's my favorite place to relax in summer😊💜🌷
Hi Allen.Thanks for the tour and the excellent designs. I always like the idea of a grand entrance that says 'WELCOME ' in its own special way. Yours is so inviting.
Very lovely ❤️
Love your magnolia trees .
I needed inspiration, thank you for sharing your experience with us 🎇
You're still my favorite gardener
Great advice and enjoyed the tour!
Really beautiful💛💚💛
I love your designs! Thanks for sharing them through the years, Allen. ;-)
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful town garden here! We have visited Moss Mountain Farm for a luncheon and tour and have met you, Allen, and you are such a nice, friendly host. We wanted to come down this spring on a southern trip but hopefully we will be able to come next spring.
Thanks for the tour of your beautiful garden. You have given me a few ideas as well. I have leucojum but never thought to pair it with white narcissus. Love that. Please do make more videos throughout the season so we can see how this garden changes over the growing season. Thanks again!
Beautiful! 🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵💮🌸💐🌷🌷🌷
Amazing garden. Really enjoy your programs.. it makes me have all kinds of ideas for my garden.. my big problem is the deer they love to eat my trees..
This is so inspiring. Thank you for this beautiful tour and for sharing your wonderful ideas!
I like the idea of green fences and screens. I would like to begin to develop this on our property. creating outdoor rooms.
God Bless P.A.S your awesome Dude!
Dang! I had trouble logging in this morning and missed the live tour (curse of April 1st!). However, I hope to catch the next one. The Gaines Garden looks so cozy. Enjoy the rainy day. As they say...April showers...
You said you’re not happy with your colour combination of those flowers but I’m happy 😃 ! Your garden is the most beautiful garden tour , I especially love those boxwood.
Wow! What a beautiful garden - thanks for all the great advice! Looking fwd to keeping up throughout the growing season!😁
Amazing
Very beautiful! Love your garden idea :-)
I really enjoyed this garden tour and hope you do more. I live in an apartment now, so I can only have a few plants in containers.
Enjoyed the tour of your garden. I really like the English influence of garden rooms. I have 4 acres I'm just beginning to design. Thanks for the tips.
I wish I had 4 acres, but then again I can’t keep up with the weeds in my city lot.
Amazing yard! Keep in touch bud!
Very nice...🍀🌼☀️🐝
I love your TV shows, and just subscribed to your channel
Vidchemy thank you! Spread the word! ;-)
Wow
Beautiful! I just found this channel and really enjoy it - even though I'm in Canada and have a much different climate to contend with :)
Thank you! I hope you subscribed. 💚
