    Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden. I found the flat stones with mosses growing between very appealing and something I would like in my own garden. I only have a very tiny space, but I want it to be special and you have given me some ideas. Your husband has done a wonderful job of the stonework.

    Thank you for another informative and helpful video!! It's amazing how much work and dedication you and your husband put into making your backyard a magical and inviting space. I love the layering and the variety of shrubs and trees! That crab apple is especially stunning.

    Very informative and useful video. I am in process of creating my backyard and I will take some of your ideas to it. What is the name of the bushes you were showing on the video in minute 6.46?
    Thank you.

    Hi, what program did you use to create that layout? I've been looking for something in order to plan my landscaping, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

    Love your beautiful garden. I am interested in how you built the patio and pathways with natural stone? Did you dig the entire area, laid out the stone and sand and then stones, just like how most of brick patios are done? Or you laid each stone and leave the soil in between the stones? It will be nice if you can have a video talking about how you built them.

    Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful tour. I stopped (the pause button) to soak it up- the next best thing to actually strolling through.

    Just found your channel and I'm in awe of the evolution of your back yard garden. Breathtaking! I garden in Zone 7B on 2 acres, but I make every effort to make each garden cozy. I love your garden!!!

    Πολύ όμορφα λουλούδια ο κήπος σου είναι ένας μικρός παράδεισος!!! θα ήθελα πάρα πολύ να βάλεις υπότιτλους στα βίντεο για να καταλαβαίνω τι λέτε

    Hi Rosanne. I love looking at your garden and especially the good advice which you give to us novices you have really helped me a lot. Unfortunately I have to say that I am really jealous of the amount of garden area what you have, still beggars can't be choosers so I'm making the most of my little plot here in the North of the UK. I'm a Lilly Lover of all varieties so you have been a great help especially with your Cala Lillies & Roses which I have 31 varieties, also I'm a Bleeding Heart Lover so all in all I'm happy with my lot. Thank You for your lovely Videos from Stuart in Lancashire UK.

    Love your garden! I belong to a couple garden clubs and live by Rochester, MN. Was wondering if you give any tours? We all have admired your gardens each season of the year. I think the narrow pathway and the Louisa crab apple, and tulip pathways are just grand. You have a good eye for structure. Oh, also hats off to your husband for his stone work. Great talent.

    You have so much talent!! Love your way to design your garden.💚 I have a very small piece of garden, right now very messy. You made me feel inspired to fix it.😀 Hi from Malaga

    Such a gorgeous space you have there Rossanne, I live in the Twin Cities and your garden is such a dream. I wanted to know what kind of Juniper do you have planted next to your shed?

  33. reallymagnolia

    I would have an absolute blast designing gardens like this! How wonderful! You e done an amazing job. I like how instead of being nothing but distraught about the elm tree (which would be understandable), you took it as an opportunity to change some other things in your beautiful garden. If I could have my choice I would totally choose the enchanted theme too! How fun 🤩

    I could listen to your voice talking about plants, flowers and gardening for hours. It's actually quite soothing, like a meditative night story. Cheers from Paris, France🌸.

  35. Great Stuff

    Hi Rosanne! I've just come across your channel and found this video to be so very informative. Love the way you broke it down into separate steps and I actually handwrote some notes while watching. This will be helpful as I move my focus away from the veggie garden and get to work on the more decorative, landscaped areas of our property. Thanks so much! Angela

    Another, So Beautiful. You and your husband are so talented. I have never been able to keep a delphinium alive. Love them 🙁 Thank you.

    My father had 2 of the catalpa trees. They have a large root system and grow on top of the ground they also emitted an acid that would take the paint off your vehicle if you parked under it often.
