    I have been married and I have been single, as I am today. I do not regret the path that has brought me to today because it has made me who I am, but watching this couple has me wishing that I had found a mate that shared my love for gardening. I love this video so much. Thank you.

    Can't believe they exist. And I mean that in the most uplifting and respectful way. I have never in my entire being shed tears when watching another passionate gardeners channel. Geez! I can"t stop crying. You could see the love, dedication and spiritual presence in their forest. Thank you so much for getting to know your neighbors and sharing them and they lovely forest oasis with us. We appreciate you and them.

    That’s me and I prefer Plant Whisperer to addiction. I’m currently growing a garden from scratch, on a hillside that used to be a coal mine. Hubby is a musician and can’t tell a dandelion from a daffodil, but I rope him in for the big grunt work. If I had a garden half as amazing as that I’d be pleased.

  • @sharonwebb945
    @sharonwebb945 Před 3 lety +5

    This couple speaks my language. I too am totally addicted to plants and gardening. I live in Australia. How I wish I could visit this couple & their garden. I am at the beginning of planting a new garden in the grounds around a a small old house we bought a year ago. I’m doing what they do, one day at a time, no master plan just planting what I love & seeing what will thrive and what struggles. My husband and boys hate gardening and they help me only reluctantly, occasionally so I am mostly in it alone with God ... but it’s my happy place and nothing is more pleasurable to me than hanging out with my best friend God in a garden that He’s helping me create and not just for me but to share... even my boys have said they have to admit it’s looking pretty good so far(even tho every plant is baby sized.) I’m 55 & so it’s going to take a while for my garden to look like this couple’s but one day at a time, one plant at a time... but... one day I may move as I would love a forest like they have! How gorgeous is that! There’s not a part of their garden inside and out that isn’t gorgeous though! Love on display... and remember it’s normal to be addicted to gardening- we get it from Our Heavenly Father ... the greatest love story of all began in a garden - eastward in Eden, then the greatest act of redemptive love (as Love Himself suffered agony for our transgressions and iniquity) happened in the garden of Gethsemane. And the creation of the new Heaven and New Earth which is next, will basically be God and us gardening together to restore Paradise -made possible only because of Yeshua’s agony in Gethsemane & on the cross. This is why we all sigh and are enveloped in peace in gorgeous gardens... because our “spirit man” inside our earth suits, the eternal us, remembers... we are the children of The Master Gardener.

    The word "addiction" carries such a negative connotation. It is official. My name is Nina and I am a garden/plant addict. I have been so for 5 years. I seek put native plants to improve my space not only for myself but others (birds, insects and other wildlife).
    Oh and I'm lucky enough to have a garden partner!!

    I'm so jealous! I'm a widow and I've done gardening alone for many years and it is "work". I would have liked it better with a partner. Love those ferns, now I may split mine and put them out in an area I haven't accessed before. Just saying, I tend to make new areas, expanding. Just about done with the third landing with a "no dig" "lasagna" space, so next it's into the wild...lol.

    I love this garden so much and thank you for sharing - of course - I see I still have a long way to go! I'm sharing with my family who love to tease me about just how many plants I plan to stick in the yard. Of course - they see something and check with me before buying to see if I might have it. Sharing plants is rewarding - often because if they receive something from another garden - they stop and bring me one. I have an African Violet that my grandmother gave me when I was about 19-20. I'm 65 now and it's still thriving - having been shared many times. Gardening is not only life - it's the good life.

    Magical - their love for each other manifested itself in this garden. Plants are living things they respond to tender loving care. The natural art(istry) that she weaved through the garden is breathtaking and her lovely creations reflect that as well. It is a garden full of good intentions and good will, allowing space and time for nature to do her magic too. You did a fine job touching all of our lives with the care you took to present their beautiful, tranquil garden and the love that shines and sparkles between them. One of your best videos - thank you for sharing your joy with us!

    I liked this episode very much. As if Iwas watching myself but in a lesser area. When we are in the garden, we feel that time does not exist at all. I am very thankful to the Lord for giving us the opportunity to live in the city and have a beautiful garden. Actually, I started it as an experimental garden before I would plant on a bigger space. Praise God! Everything turned out as planned. My husband is very supportive and we have an avenue to relax and enjoy the beauty of gardening together. Thanks for this great video!
