    Oh my gosh! Her garden is as extraordinary as she is. Special thanks to Fionuala for being so gracious. I am so happy she has decided to have her own channel.

    Fionuala’s garden is the best example of how nature does not need our help. Flowers and plants find a way and we are blessed to be a part of all of it. She has become the steward of this place and you can see how it rewards her by feeding her soul. Thank you Janey for taking us to this peaceful garden this morning.

    Her garden is lovely. It doesn’t look contrived. The randomness of it is what makes it look like fairies planted it.

    Fionuala's garden is after my own heart. A true plant collector/gardener. Wild and Wonderful. Letting the plants dictate the garden, not the human.

    Fairytale land, that's all I can say - utterly heavenly - it just seems to glow! When the full panoramic view came through the camera lens as you were going up the steps into the upper garden, it took my breath away! It appeared as if the maderense were floating in the air! I love that Fionuala just lets the plants be free and seed where they may, and evolve into something unexpected. Thank you for sharing, Janey, and Fionuala!

    I've just watched two of your garden tours. This one which feels like it should be in the first Jurassic Park movie (so gorgeous and large and mind blowing ... and the woman's garden with Poppies in her name. I was so impressed by how unbelievably her color usage was!! I never put all those colors together, but I might give it a try. Thank you for the eye candy for us gardeners!

I'm in a group of about 35 women on What's app, and everyone loved it and a family group of 6. When I first saw it, I was like, you wanting scream in awe. 😊

    Fionuala has such a magical place. Thank you Janey for showering us with magic! I would love both of you to grow some Aussie natives like grevillea which thrive in a range of conditions and bring so much interest and colour into a garden.

    • @joycerichardson1810
      @joycerichardson1810 5 місяців тому +1

      Soil may be too heavy for Aussie natives as they thrive in sandy soils.
      In SF, I grow grevilleas, anigozanthos, parahebes, correas, lomandras, cotinus, acacia "Cousin Itt" and more, in sandy loam.

  • @joycerichardson1810

    Alice in Wonderland Garden! Very similar to many San Francisco woodland gardens...especially the geranium maderense and the aeoniums.

    I find, in part, that where self sown plants end up is a study of how water flows on your property, or which direction the prevailing wind blows (considering various seed dispersal methods). Thanks for sharing her garden with us. Its a real treasure and obviously well loved!

    Those geraniums are gorgeous. I tend to buy one of every plant I love, but my garden can look messy at times. I try to plant in drifts, but plant costs have really risen these past few years. I am a Lowe’s clearance plant girl 😂.The amount of geraniums throughout the large garden really ties everything together. That garden took years of time and effort to cultivate. Her garden is simply stunning ❤❤❤❤

    Oh my goodness!!!! I live in California, but all my Portuguese ancesters came from the Medeira islands. My mothers last name was Medeiros... so all these plants from that area are now on my wish list. The self seeding purple geraniums are incredible!!! What a magical garden! Thank you so much for sharing. Beautiful gardener as well.

    I love how eclectic her garden is yet flows so well. I gave up on my freesia and threw it in the compost pile and apparently it was happy there cause it’s blooming 🤣 Do these geraniums smell like geraniums?? I have a problem with the way geraniums smell lol I could drink an entire pot of coffee in that spot 😊 we have a lilac tree in our driveway and I love catching that fragrance! The butterflies are going crazy for it! I counted 11 butterflies on it the other day 🦋
