OMG, talk about being overwhelmed, this video did that. 94 and still overseeing her , well garden, it’s massive. So many different plants plus orchids, and here I repot, fertilize and weed pots and water, gotta wonder WHY, hers are thriving💞💞💞. Thank you for this video, it was so worth it. 💚💚💚

What an amazing lady to take care of so many plants, I thought she must have had help with such a large garden. Thanks for taking us along to share such an incredible garden.😊

A garden that size can be overwhelming for anyone but she seems to take it all in stride. Her friend Sal does come over to help her but she lives there alone.

Wow. Thank you for opening your home and showing your amazing collections. A study in patience. Some of the orchids must be very old to be as big as they are. Beautiful!
