hello! I must apologize for not responding earlier. I saw your comment and wanted to respond appropriately. I love what you say about gardens as art. I wholeheartedly agree. I think of all art as "food for the soul". I sense a growing movement away from such appreciation in gardens. It seems now gardens must be about food, native plants, bees, etc. Those are all wonderful outcomes, but my goal in gardening has always been about providing food and habitat for wildlife AND to provide beauty...things that make people smile and feel something. Although I try to incorporate native plants, I am not beholding to the concept. What about the beauty of Calla lilies, or Roses? One of the reasons I left our local master gardener program was that it promoted everything about gardening, except creating gardens as art, or food for the soul. I felt like an island. So....your comment struck me in a certain way, and I really appreciated it. Thank you!

I am a biginer. Love your garde n is so beautifull.

Love how informative you made this especially for someone just starting out like myself. From the planning to the design, very educational as I am in the beginning stages of laying out a similar area. Your garden is beautiful & I appreciate your video💌

Yay! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. We love sharing our garden and the process of gardening. All the best in your gardening ventures 🌺🌱🌞

Hello Gina! Always nice to hear from you! Glad you agree on the timing of the video. I had fun working on it and was shooting for a mid-Feb release, so that's good. It's so much fun to plan and think about the garden, especially when it's so white outside. You are always too kind in your garden flattery...but it's nice to hear 😉. Have a wonderful Spring! 🌹. Steve says "hi".

Yay! I'm so pleased that you got ideas for your own side garden! We love to share our garden and are glad you could visit. 🌹

You are quite welcome! I'm so pleased to hear that the video provided inspiration and information. Putting together this video was a winter project, and a fun one. Glad it payed off!

Thanks so much 😊

That is so very nice of you to say and think and do! I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying our gardens and this channel 🌞. The tall and narrow conifer is a weeping white spruce (Picea glauca 'Pendula'). I love the look too. I briefly mentioned in the video that we had a Spruce that died, and we replaced it with an Arborvitae. That was the same variety spruce. I think it was getting too much shade. They need full sun, no doubt about it. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🌺

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying my channel. And, you certainly have me pegged 😉. I don't do many videos, but I do try to make each one special. Have a wonderful Spring! 🌱🌷🌿

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the explanation of the transformation!

Greetings to Canada! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the garden transformation! I am indeed fortunate to have such a wonderful gardening partner 😊🌺🌿

Thank you Suzanne! I am just so pleased that you enjoyed the garden transformation. I sure agree with you about white flowers; they are often underappreciated, but serve a real aesthetic purpose. I use white calla lilies throughout our garden for the same reason. Glad you like the real life bunny. We have lots! 🙂🐢 🌷🌼🌿

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the transformation! 🌹🌱 🌞

Thank you! I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! I like to see how things are laid out also. As you are new to gardening, I hope you have a wonderful gardening journey. 🌹

Thank you! I'm so glad you think so! It's flattering that you suggest a book form; maybe I'll check it out. Happy Spring! 🌿

I’d definitely buy Roseann’s book even though I Garden in a zone eight. It’s inspiration and garden goals for sure!

That’s a book I would buy!

I would buy and give as gifts

Glad you enjoyed it! 🌺

Glad you agree! I think he is too. 😉

Hello! Yay! I'm glad to be of help on cold damp day. I hope you watched it with a hot cup of tea or coffee! I hope your plants will be OK too. We've had a ton of snow, but not too many days below zero. So, I'm feeling OK about plants here 🤞

Wow! That is so very flattering of you to say. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video of the garden transformation. 🌿

I agree. The best I’ve seen on KZfaq. Love, from California

Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say. My husband enjoy the back and forth of sharing ideas and options. It really makes for a much better end product.

Thank you Heather! I'm so glad the video didn't disappoint! I know what you mean about the meandering path. We tried to make the experience of entering the garden through a garden a pleasant surprise, one amplified by the turtle. We love sharing our garden and am glad to share it with you via the videos. Happy almost Spring!🌷

Right?! It was a very dear gift 🌿.

Thank you! I'm so pleased you like the "whimsy". I love when people are pleasantly surprised in the garden. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🌺🌞🌿

Greetings to Massachusetts! I'm pleased you are enjoying my channel! 🌺 I think there are few things more enjoyable than planning for ones own garden. It's an extraordinary hobby, especially when you have a great partner.

Greetings to France! How wonderful that you have a lifetime of gardening ahead of you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the garden transformation and dream of transforming your own garden some day. We all benefit from inspiration - I just love visiting other gardens, online or in person.

Yay! I love reading comments such as yours! We all appreciate inspiration and I'm glad I was able to help. I do wish you all the best with your dream garden. What a wonderful process you are beginning.

Hi Stephanie! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Yay, thank you!

Yay! I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying the video! And our garden! Planning your own space is so personal and so rewarding. I hope you have fun with it. Glad to help!

Yay! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Wisteria is so beautiful; regular pruning is a necessity, but well worth the effort. Thank you for the kind words and all the best with your new home and garden. It's an exciting time...I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

Thank you Holly! Thanks for the video feedback. I'm pleased to hear you appreciated the detail. One never knows if it's too much , or too little. Happy gardening 🌱🌷🌞

Thank you! I'm so glad you agree about the whimsy! It absolutely makes the garden more personal. We love sharing our garden, and are grateful that we can through this channel.

Thank you! I'm glad you appreciated the transformation! 🌿

Thank you Donna! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed the stroll in the garden, and the "surprise and delight" turtle. I wish you the best as well - with many years of gardening 🌺🌿🌞

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden stroll!

Greetings to Canada! Thank you Bonnie! One of the things I liked doing about this video was looking through old photos, although I wish I had more. I was actually surprised with some of the pictures. Sad how time flies. 30 years is a mature garden indeed; it sounds lovely. 🌿

@@RosannesGarden I do have some photos but no videos. We started with a new home and just grass and no trees.

Thank you! That is very kind of you to say. The turtle is indeed a cutie!

They are lovely to listen to.

Greetings to Virginia! Hi, glad to be back! I'm so pleased you are enjoying my channel and our shared style 🙂 🌿🌺. We're in the middle of a snow storm now; they say it'll be the worst in over ten years. Ugh. And here I was ready for spring! 🌷🌷🌷

Thank you! That is so very kind of you to say. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, and the multiple aspects of it, including the presentation. My husband and I have moved to a new garden, so you will be seeing different videos for me in the future as I build yet another garden. Please be patient, and stay tuned as our move has been very time-consuming. I hope to publish one final farewell tour of our existing garden that I filmed a few weeks ago. Thank you again for watching and commenting.

Yay! So glad to hear you were inspired by the video! I love starting new garden projects and wish you all the best with your north facing side yard. But my, Zone 9a? I'd love be there right now! Also, thanks for the feedback on the format of the videos. I'm glad you appreciated it. All the best on your project! 🌿🌹

Thank you! I'm so glad you were inspired by the transformation! 🌿

Thank You! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the transformation! 🌿

Children? Meh. Grandkids, Dolly (our dog) and our garden make it into the digital photo album ;-) Glad you enjoyed the video tour!

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the garden visit! 🌹🌼🌿

Thank you! Glad to hear it! We all started sometime 😉. I'm excited for you and the wonderful garden journey you have ahead. 🌺🌿🌹

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation, and it's video presentation. Winters are really good for thinking about gardening and coming up with plans - so I have a lot of time 😉. Designing with living plants is so rewarding. I'm just so happy there is a large community of gardeners, and non-gardeners that appreciate it. 🌿

Yay! I'm so pleased to hear that this video helped bring some clarity to your garden planning. I appreciate the feedback!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video of the garden transformation.

She is very talented! Always a joy to watch and listen to, soothing and inspirational at the same time.

Thank you. It's nice to hear you're enjoying my channel. Glad this video didn't disappoint!

Thank you Lois! I am so glad you found the video helpful, in a meaningful and timely way. I'm excited for your undertaking, and advise you to take lots of pictures! In no time at all, you will have your enchanted garden. 🌺

🌞🌷🌲🌺🌿🐰

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the transformation! 🐦🌹🌿

I'm so glad you find him 🐢as irresistible as I do (the turtle that is 😉 )

Thank you! Glad you like the turtle. It is fun to see people's reactions when they see him for first time. 🙂

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation! I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes I do worry that the videos are getting too long 🤔

@@RosannesGarden , It was in fact a perfect amount of time. Initially when I turned it on I thought that considering the size of a space and the length of the video, there will be too much repetitive or off topic talking and wasted time, but you presented everything so well in a good pace and with perfect illustrations and explanations.

Greetings Minnesota neighbor! I'm so glad the video on our narrow garden was helpful in imaging what to do with your own! Side yards are often neglected, but for small gardens, are a wonderful opportunity. I hope you have fun creating yours 🌲🌺🌹🐢🐦

Hello Corey and thank you! Although I have not broadcast it, I have mentioned in several comments that my husband and I have moved to a new house and a new, almost non-existent garden. The move was the right time for a number of reasons. It was incredibly sad to leave the old garden, but as the saying goes, "when one door shuts, another one opens". I'm thinking of ways to chronicle the creation of our new garden. Stay tuned and thanks for hanging in there!

Our pleasure. We love sharing our garden! 🌿

Yay! Comments such as yours make me very happy. Creating gardens is a joyous thing ( or should be ;-). I’m so glad you found the video helpful. All the best!🌺

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the enchanted garden tour! 🌹

Thank you so very much! I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel - and that you understand it 🌿.

Thank you! That is so very, very nice of you to say!

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video easy to watch. I do try to make it easy to listen to and easy to watch. It's nice to know I succeeded! 😊

I’m glad you could visit!🌹

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation. 🌿🌺🌲

Glad you enjoyed the garden. Transformation!

It is one of my fav KZfaq gardens :)

Thank you so much! The peonies are happy basking in the warm sun. If only their blooms lasted longer! Thanks for watching and commenting.🌺🌼🌱

Greetings to Russia! How nice that your daughter could translate my video for you! I'm so pleased that you were able to visit via KZfaq and enjoyed the garden tour. Our garden is certainly our sanctuary these days, an escape from the outside world. Gardeners make up a global community without borders who just want to treasure nature and protect it. I wish you and your daughter all the best and may we all have peace on earth. 🌿🌹🌼🐿️ Гугл-переводчик: Привет, Россия! Как хорошо, что твоя дочь смогла перевести для тебя мое видео! Я так рад, что вы смогли посетить через KZfaq и получили удовольствие от экскурсии по саду. Наш сад, безусловно, является нашим убежищем в наши дни, убежищем от внешнего мира. Садоводы составляют глобальное сообщество без границ, которые просто хотят дорожить природой и защищать ее. Желаю вам и вашей дочери всего наилучшего и пусть у всех нас будет мир на земле.🌿🌹🌼🐿️

@@RosannesGarden Спасибо вам за пожелания! Вы правильно сказали: мой сад это убежище от внешнего мира! Особенно важным это стало во время войны, которую я ненавижу! И во время ковида он нас спасал! А теперь когда мы, русские, стали изгоями в мире, сад станет нашей тихой гаванью...но от жизни не спрячешься....

@@user-uo6fo3xl2r am glad that you have a little piece of earth that gives you comfort and beauty. Like you, we all want peace so much. 🙏 🌍 You might try this to watch my videos in Russian. It worked for another viewer. Through changing settings, I have been able to get subtitles on this video in many languages. This may be different outside of the US, but it’s worth a try if the KZfaq icons on the lower right of the screen work the same globally. Hopefully they do, and this technique will be successful for you. I’d be curious if it works. Instructions: On lower right of KZfaq video screen, click on the white box “CC” icon. Immediately, you should see subtitles. If the subtitles aren’t in your language, you should be able to change the language. To do so, click on the settings (gear box) icon, then click on “Subtitles/CC”. Click on “Autotranslate”. Scroll to pick your language. Let me know if it works! 🌺🌱🌼 Google Переводчик: Я рад, что у вас есть небольшой клочок земли, который дарит вам уют и красоту. Как и вы, мы все так хотим мира. 🙏🌍 Вы можете попробовать посмотреть мои видео на русском языке. Это сработало для другого зрителя. Изменив настройки, я смог получить субтитры для этого видео на многих языках. Это может отличаться за пределами США, но стоит попробовать, если значки KZfaq в правом нижнем углу экрана одинаковы во всем мире. Я надеюсь, что они есть, и эта техника будет успешной для вас. Инструкции: В правом нижнем углу экрана видео KZfaq щелкните значок белого поля «CC». Сразу же должны появиться субтитры. Если субтитры не на вашем языке, вы должны иметь возможность изменить язык. Для этого щелкните значок настроек (шестеренка), затем нажмите «Субтитры/CC». Нажмите «Автоперевод». Прокрутите, чтобы выбрать язык. Дайте мне знать, если это работает!

You are so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden stroll 🌿

I rewatch her videos all the time because she seldom posts. She is so knowledgeable and her style is just gorgeous!!! I strive to have a garden half as beautiful as hers some day.

Hello! So nice to hear from you! I'm glad this video didn't disappoint!

Thank you! I thought the "before" picture was shocking myself when I came across it! I forgot just how barren and sad it looked after the elm loss. Tears were shed. Such a grand tree. 🌿

Thank you! You are very generous with your compliments 🌺🌼🌿. I’m so very glad you found the video helpful and also, that you will be giving arborvitae a try. I find, in our climate, there are two important things to remember with Arborvitae - one being, to make sure they get plenty of water going into winter. The other, if you have rabbits, is to put chicken wire or something to protect the trees from hungry bunnies in the winter. I wish you all the best in your gardening endeavors. 🌞🌺🌲🐰🌿

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the transformation!

Thank you! I'm glad you think so! 🌹

Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the garden transformation and the narrative nature of the video. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌿🌼🌷

Hi Donna - Thank you!

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the video helpful! 🌱🌹🌲

Hi! Nice to hear from you again. Glad this video didn't disappoint! 🙂 🌹🌿

Thank you! That is very sweet of you to say! I have a great gardening partner in my husband, who has made so much possible. I am sure you are being modest. I do wish you all the very best in gardening 🌹🪻🌿.

Thank you so much 😊🌹🐰

Thanks so much! 😊 i’m glad you think so. Straight lines are just not as magical as winding paths, are they?

Thank you Liz! I am so glad you appreciated the video of the garden transformation and found it enjoyable. It was my "big" winter project. But now, thoughts are turning to Spring. Of course, we still have over a foot of snow on the ground with single digit temperatures 😜. Soon...🌷🌷🌷

Thanks Ginny! Glad you enjoyed the garden transformation🌿

Thank you Diane! That's nice to hear. 🌼

Thank you! Evergreens are so great in the garden, for all seasons 🌲. Glad you enjoyed the video of the transformation! I can be ruthless with volunteers, but a peony volunteering was just too unusual. It deserved to stay. 🌺🌱🙂. Have fun as you develop your own garden.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation! 🌹🌼🌿

Wow, thank you! He's the best gardening partner 🌿❤️.

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and that sweet little turtle. Or should I say, big turtle 😉

Thank you so much 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🌹

Thank you! You are too kind. I am very happy that you found my channel also! Creating your garden is such a rewarding experience, as I’m sure you know. I wish you all the best with your own garden creation! 🌷🌼🐰🌺🌲

Thank you! Glad you think our garden is among the top gardens. We're just glad we have a way to share it. 🌹

You are so welcome!

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation!

You are so welcome! 🌞

Thank you! I'm so pleased you think so! I certainly try to plant for success and encourage others to do so too. 🦋🌹🌿

Greetings neighbor to the east! I'm so glad you're finding my channel helpful! Gardening is a lifelong learning process and that's one of the things that makes it such a great activity. All the best!

Yes, our garden is our sanctuary. Nothing beats having friends/relatives over on the patio, enveloped by the garden. Zone 3B, Burrrr. Glad you found some ideas in the video!

Hi again, Yes my husband is very talented and sweet to gift me the turtle 🥰🐢

Thank you Vera! Greetings to Northern Ireland! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed the garden tour and transformation 🐦😊🐢🌺🌿

Thank you! That is very great to hear! I wish you all the best in creating your own side-yard garden 🌹
