Nothing is better than a great garden center, beautiful selection of plants you got and the music was great 👍
It might be a good idea to creat a mini herb garden next to the kitchen door. Then a big herb garden in the walled garden for bigger amounts of herbs
Ohh....so jelous. It snowing here, and it's 8th of May. I want to cry.
Where do you live?

I love how you experience life Steph whether you are in a glamorous gown or surroundings or planting 1200 plants in the rain ,going to the markets your energy is so uplifting 💖 my husband just said haven't u watched that twice already 🤣😂 I said yes but I need some of Stephanie's love of life . Thanks for sharing love to all xx from 🇦🇺 Australia.
Buy some purebred roses for the fragrance!
Did someone know the title of the song - i love it
Oh could you take a picture (maybe for instagram) of that salmon pink peony? It would make a stunning lino print !
I have never seen such a wonderful plant sale in all my life xxx
Grannies bonnets are one of my favourite flowers...they come in many colours and are very promiscuous!🤣. They easily look after themselves. I hope you got some!!
Your aunt and uncle are simply wonderful.
She should have a style vlog
Ha! I was thinking the same thing! They are style icons!!!🙌🏻🥰
yes,yes, and yes. agree 100% I want her wardrobe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a beautiful arbouritum, the plants you bought are stunning. Lovely to see your Aunt and Uncle too X
The gardens of Lelande are going to be famous!
So many beautiful plants, they will look wonderful at Lalande. Your garden is transforming bit by bit.
It was a perfect French day, I loved it!
I really loved your blue and white shawl it is beautiful.
Your gardens are going to be wonderful. 🌱🌷🙂
What a dreamy selection of blooming flowers 🙏🏻🌷💗💗😎🤗✨
Happy Mother’s Day, all Mother’s, from Wyoming USA💐❤️
Love your Aunty she is so glamorous and beautiful. The farmers market is perfect.
“We just need to buy another 60 acres and we can fit everything in there.” Kirstie, a girl after my own heart. We live on a small city lot but I’m always convinced we can find room for one more plant.
Message for Kirsty: Acer looked like my old family homes gardens acer which was a paper back acer!
Daffodils/blue bells snow drops into the woods?
I love Jasmin and honeysuckle both smell beautiful! You and Philip and Kirstie, Dan And Davie should definitely go to the Chelsea flower show!
Love the idea of the boat house as a bar!
What about lilies in the moat or on the lake when it’s back?
Ps lovely vlog!
I cannot believe that I am going to get to watch this garden mature. So much to look forward to. 🧡🌹🧡
With none of the work!
Srna gospodja ima prekrasan osjecaj za biljke
@@mirjanakovacevic5319 indeed she does, and with Davy helping her it will be stellar!
Arboretums are always such a delight to wander! just lovely!
My favorite fruit-black raspberries. My favorite flower-peonies. What a glorious day!
Hip hip hourray, I have my rosé ready ♥ 🙌 love from Canada 🇨🇦
A fellow Canadian! Hello!
Lovely day surrounded by beauty 💛 I’m still singing La Belle Époque 😄😘
Do you know who sings that lovely song?
I can't believe I missed this premiere. Alas, I was working in my own garden. You all made some good plant choices. Right plant, right place.
This was so much FUN! I love how you all just planted over 1,200 and became inspired to riff on the design and plant even more. It would be so lovely if someone who sends things to Chateau unwrapped would send Kirsty a sizable gift certificate to her favorite plant purveyor so that she could get even more of her favorite trees!
How funny is Kirsty, she really has blossomed ( pardon the pun)since we first met her! Great choice of plants.
The fountain and surrounding garden are truly beautiful!
This place is VERY "DANGEROUS" to me 😂 I would use my money AND SAVINGS 🤗🌹🇩🇰
I absolutely love viewing the plants with you. A couple quick things about the Gingko tree. I moved into a house with a full grown one, actually quite rare in Kentucky, and it displays the most gorgeous golden leaf in the fall. It also comes in male and female variteties, one stinks and the other doesn’t. Apparently it can also change genders in its life. It is also one of the only trees to survive the bombing of Hiroshima. They were planted everywhere in Japan and after the bombs went off it looked like a barren wasteland, but next spring, the only trees to return were the Gingkos. They are like a symbol of hope and rebirth and their genetic structure and make up is quite amazing. I would highly recommend one for your chateau as an addition to your tree canopy and you could see it in all its glory. The leaves have such a beautiful and unique shape. I wish I could post a picture of mine here. Happy Spring to you all and thank you for all the effort you put into your garden and videos. Blessings from Kentucky!
There are several ginko in my town, some old, some newly planted. I use to collect the golden leaves and press them, They keep their colour for a long time
Thank you for sharing this amazing story! :)
😉 That's a nice story about Gingkos. Everyone needs a little hope, resilience, & determination, esp. in our 🪴plants & trees🌳.
🏇 Did you 🎉 celebrate 🎉 the
🏆Kentucky Derby?🍹Mint julips & other fine Southern traditions? Never been〰️and I understand it's controversial for some folks〰️ but my parents were absolutely horse ❤️ mad.
They took us to all the local tracks & stables to 👁👁watch the thoroughbreds run🐎. They faithfully followed the 🗞sporting news. We'd have a little viewing party with cocktails, pecan pie, & fancy hats 👒 in LA. 😃Enjoy looking at the fashion pics 📸 & event recaps nowadays.
💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️
(using my pal's YT acct)
The female fruit stinks and makes a real mess.
Yes, we just celebrated the Derby and I live in the city where it takes place. Pretty much our whole city shuts down and it was so neat this year because a long shot won. It was 89-1 odds and the horse was at the back of the group and made a huge comeback passing all the others to win. It was so awesome to watch. All us locals throw Derby parties and make a favorite called Derby pie, and yes we love watching the unique fashions. It’s a really fun tradition. Blessings to you in California from a local Kentucky girl.
So Fabulous….the whole experience of gardening center of the most amazing flowering plants and trees. I couldn’t imagine making choices from so much beauty. You all made great choices for years of enjoyment to come.
Such a lovely episode. I live in the heart of Alabama and our countryside is so similar to your area of France. We too have beautiful farmers markets with all of the local veg and flowers, honey, goat cheese, and other local specialties. Chicks 🐣 and ducklings 🐥 whenever the appropriate season. I too love where I live and enjoy the rural but simple elegance of it all. Plus, I’m only 35 minutes from a metropolitan city of 1.2 million.
Here’s to happiness in all of your adventures and the beauty and grace you bring into our lives each week!
Merci beaucoup
This video fulfilled my fantasy of the most idyllic way to spend a day in France!!!! 💙 Farmers market, antiques, french bistro and choosing plants for the garden....PERFECTION!!!!🌷
Absolutely agree!
Live in southern Michigan in USA had a friend who had a lovely ginkgo tree although no many are in Michigan either
The three of you were so happy in this gorgeous nursery garden. It was so pleasant to hear all your wondrous exclamations. The garden is going to impress Mummy when she comes. It´s going to be so exciting. And we youtube friends watching are secretly planing to come all at once to see the full blossoming at Lalande. haha It´s a dream, but I would have liked that.
And then: la belle époque haha
Yes, when is Mummy coming? I miss her. Please, let your aunt tell us a little about her childhood in France. She is so nice. I love to hear her voice. Oh and please, could we see her and Amaury interacting just a little?
That would also be my idea of a perfect day…farmers market, a little antiquing , lunch in a nice cafe and then a visit to an arboretum with a plant sale! Pure bliss. Thanks for sharing.
Love spring, beautiful rustic gardens. Watching from BC Canada
Loved the vlog. Especially the market and plant sales. The peonies were stunning. Aquilegia were stunning (ladies bonnets). The trees were wonderful too. I'd have loved to have seen it. I've only a patio garden. I hate housework, but gardening is something different because it you tend it it gives you more back in return. I have an olive tree very cherished bought from Aldi some years ago. It's survived and last year I had about 10 olives which were edible and I made a pasta puttanesca a la Delia. Bottle brush, daphne, myrtle, rosemary, sage in pots and one rose and a box, a hebe, and a glorious fuschia in the raised bed. Unfortunately the Cape daisies fell foul of a frost, and they've all died. But it'll make way for something else. I've 2 large pots waiting for a plant to fill them now what shall I buy?
I like my men to be 'self supporting' but never happened, often suppressed the urge to tie them to a bamboo! Love Ginko, one of earths oldest trees.
😂
Hahaha 😆
😂😂😂
Your aunt is such a style icon Stephanie! Just love her outfits. They perfectly fit her happy and warm character = vibrant and colorful 😊
Frankly…the wild garlic is THE BEST!!
I’ve been investing in them for 8 years now, in our garden. Just mix them in a bit of cream cheese and you’re good to go. In German, it’s called Bärlauch. The first food bears collect when they wake up from their winter sleep.
Thank you for the joy!! 💝💕💝
Wow, I had no idea! That's why it's called bears' garlic in Czech!
@@ignatievamaria They are delicious and super healthy. Bears have good taste…? 🤔😄
@@JohannaVeerenhuis probably))) love it, too)
i think Anna had a small section of wild garlic too. i remember a video of it. i do grow chives of white and purple sort.
You could deffinately plant more flowers in the walled garden. They would make it even more beautiful, and help attract pollinators 🙂 But then.... You have a huge garden to fill, so next time, bring a van - or 2 😂 Please update us on the placement of the plants 😁
Love the soundtrack of todays video! What a lovely day for you all. I’m like 😳😳😳 with those amazing plant and plant/flower envy with all you’ve got!
Loved reliving the French farmer's market since it has been years since I lived there and in Geneva and the selection was the same. Sad. to miss it :( Liked the upbeat music, thanks for taking us along!! Your plant choices, gorgeous colors.
The arboretum walk was so delightful!
Stephanie looking radiant 💙
Magnificent…made my dry, dreary day full of joy and beauty on Mother’s Day in Canada❤️
Lovely!! I too love peonies, so much that I have 27 different varieties in my gardens!
LaLande will look even more beautiful if you keep adding plants!
Peonies and Iris are my favorite spring flowers! I can't get enough of them!
Check out a Katsura tree, in the late afternoon they exude a beautiful fragrance just like candy floss (cotton candy), just divine!
Visiting my cousin in NL and waking up early, walking along the road to an asparagus farm and buying freshly cut white asparagus is a favourite memory.
That was a really relaxing and enjoyable vlog , Thankyou. You just all had my dream day out.🤗
Kirsty so glad you are the head gardener! You are amazing.
Mummy would be so proud of you for being so excited over gardens and gardening. I can't say I blame you though because they are all incredibly beautiful. I can't wait to see how the gardens at La Lande will change over the next few years.
I am loving this new outro style by the way! This did indeed look like a perfect French day!
You should bei careful when you go to the city and check if the tank cap ist locked. Right now there are people who steal the tank ( diesel,... ). Happened to me last week and i stranded in Berlin.
Love the vlog. Did Dan edit it? It had his style I thought🤔
You have found your song! La Belle Epoque fits you so well! Thank you for the beautiful stroll through the gardens. Spring is so late here in the heart of the US. We are about a month behind due to cold and rain. Things are finally starting to blossom. I also like how you are doing the ending now. It’s a softer ending to your videos. Love to you all! 🥰
Hello… please do you know who sings La Bella Époque?
@@huwjones1068 Belle Époque by The Devil’s Sway featuring Roof
Wow I have plant envy wish I could just go buy new plants 😍 I have several different aquilegia including double petal. You'll be able to collect thousands of seeds after flowers. I live near Sandringham, Norfolk... queens estate..they have huge Rhododendrons I love going to see them and walk in the woods. Thank you for sharing with us
I exchange my stawberries against la Guariguette and i would love to cook French asparegus with homemade mayonnaise !
What a glorious way to spend 1/2 hour on Mother’s Day…sipping mimosas and wandering through the market and all the flowers! Thank you very much ❤️🇨🇦
Love the visit to the market and I would be in heaven at the plant sale. The huge rhododendrons must be over 80 years old. I’ve had mine over 25 years and they are a quarter of the size. Love all the plants you bought. They will look stunning. Here in New England I usually wait until Mother’s Day to plant my veggies and new plants as the threat of frost has ended. This week will therefore be busy😂😂😂Thanks for taking us along on this fun journey 😍😘
I started collecting Spode china many years ago before I knew anything about the history of this incredible table ware. Sadly, it's no longer manufactured in England, but is now made in China. UGH!!!
Black Raspberries are delicious. My husband makes a wonderful jelly with them. They also make excellent fried pies.
Beautiful plants!!! Spring is sooo gorgeous!!💚🌿🌸
Beautiful gardens, lovely plants you picked and Kirstie’s tree too. Fun. Like to see the market foods and antique stores. Have to comment on how you’ve changed the patreon lists - love it! I can find me (just checking) and enjoy the view also. Thanks!
Plant some Solomon’s seal for the faeries
loving all the garden related videos you are making these days
Loving this Plant Trip 👌👍💕💕💕💕
I’m in garden heaven looking at all the beautiful choices. So glad you are buying lots of ‘flowers’ Stephanie as I adore colourful gardens such as you were immersed in today. I will gladly join you on any other expeditions such as this especially with such a gardenaholic friend as Kirsty! Her and your enthusiasm obviously rubbed off on Philip who seems to be totally converted to visiting a garden centre now? 👌🌹🌺🍃🌸🌿🍁🌼🌻🥰
I live in Alberta, Canada. As children, we would tell the story of the bleeding heart.. Hunting in the forest, a young lord was chasing a rabbit. (Remove the red part using the "ears" . You will see a white heart shaped piece.) He saw a beautiful lady and fell in love. He gave her the rabbits as a gift. ( remove the heart-shaped piece .Separate it into two pieces to create the earrings. ) He gave her a beautiful pair of earrings. She rejected him so he took his dagger ( the remaining piece of the flower is dagger shaped) and stabbed himself. Ever since,the bleeding heart has been red.
Love this story. I grew up in Alberta and the bleeding heart was one of my mom's favorite flower to grow ( plus lilacs and petunias),
Another Albertan here! I remember this story about the bleeding hearts too. 😊 a good childhood memory of pulling the flowers apart to find the earrings and dagger!
Has Dan been giving you editing tips? I’m loving the style change, very fun. Fun day all around it looks like. Steph, looking gorgeous as always!!
So good to see you all out and about. Beautiful plants and garden tour. LOL in Dan's iconic ride! Really enjoyed this. Happy Can8adian Mother's Day to Isabelle and all moms.
What a delightful excursion! Thoughts of Monet. So looking forward to the lake full again with water, fish and aquatic bird life. The property is so lovely.
Such a glorious vlog. Thank you for the garden tour.
So beautiful! 🌸Lots of love right back at 'cha! 💗
What a wonderful reason to take a break from my annual spring lawn clean up! Can hardly wait for a cup of tea and tour of France!
Died and went to heaven at that plant sale ! The Paeonies and Iris were fabulous ! Ill save you some" Grannies Bonnet" seeds .They seed all over the place (The wild variety ) but I love them in my cottage garden . Happy planting and thank you for a beautiful vlog .
I love Kirsty's contagious delight with the plants! And did you catch the "yet" in her questioning if Lalande had a ginkgo tree YET? I'll be looking forward to that addition! Living in a very shady spot, I so enjoy Lalande's beautiful outdoor spaces!
Phillip made the right choice of Dicentra as it’s also called Dutchman’s Trousers!! 😀xx
That place is gorgeous!!!!
Thank you for a wonderful Mother’s Day! Your vlog was charming and interesting! I felt transported to France for a bit❤️
A French market .. antiques .. gorgeous gardens & an abundance of beautiful plants .. this is truly my idea of a heavenly day out ☺️ Thank you Stephanie & Philip for taking us with you. Fabulous 💕💕💕
I adore these!
Dear Stephanie.. I always love seeing you beatifull outfits. But we never get a full view of it. Always close ups of you. Would have loved a full frame of you at the market in the Beautifull clothes!!! Your aunt is always so stylish. Loved this episode .
What a glorious day with all those beautiful purchases and the stroll along the path! LaLande is in for an amazing bloom of beauty for years to come!
Stephanie, you looked absolutely beautiful in your Spode wear 💙
Ok I admit I was wrong! I really disliked the courtyard trees at first but I just love them now! Great job Davy and great job Stephanie for trusting Davy's vision!
I still think that structure is an eyesore around the fountain, such a shame! I love everything about Laland and admire Stephanie's bold choices, but those flattened trees around the fountain obstructing the view, I just cannot get my head around how on earth did that happen...
@@lwaliz I'm interested to see how it turns out once they are fully grown 😊 Stephanie mentioned they will move them if they don't like them
Where is you're flower app? Use that to identify plants.
I love every visit to LaLande, or learning the history of some BEAUTIFUL place Stephanie takes us all. I must admit this visit to an arboretum is one of my ALL TIME favorites EVER!!! I garden on an extremely small scale but I absolutely LOVE My hands (gloved or not) in the soil and constantly discovering new lovely plants! Hucheras are some of my MOST favorites for their variety in color!!!!
I certainly love to see you last February for to short of a time . This trip to the garden market was only pleasure to my ears and eyes Mamy probably wait to come back to see everything in good order ! Thank you all very much for the great time you give us
I love la belle epoque haha
I love le jardin de Lalande
What a wonderful day in France, the fair and nursery were a sight to behold. I could have spent all day wandering through those gardens. Maybe someday when Stephanie is 80, the gardens of Lalande will be as grand...reaching round the expanded lake and along the river banks. Keep planting.
I am having so much fun watching this vlog!!! I am rolling, laughing, the window on the Trusty Stead had me laughing😂.
The fruits looked so good!!!
Aunt and Uncle looked so healthy. I love seeing Phillip laughing at you Stephanie, makes my day!!! Love seeing the Venues and staff from Lalande. Have a wonderful week. Happy Mother's Day.
Hey Petals! Haven't commented for a few weeks. Have seen wonderful vlogs, as always! The Cadeau was exceptionally brilliant with Sharon (so those that don't watch, DO!), what a beautiful spirit!🧚
Then of course all the planting (very funny) and now the nursery. Beautiful plants for beautiful people.
I look forward one day to visit and work in your garden... I dream, long for and hope🙏🙌🌟💫✨🌈🌹🥀🌺🌷🌸💮🏵️🌼Big Love from Oz! 🥰🐝🐝🌻
Stephanie please buy the yellow roses they would be so grandiose ! Towards the chateau walls !
What a great haul 🌸💐
Oh thank you for this video. Oh how I wish I could go plant shopping with Kirsty she is such a joy and like me wants to buy everything 😂😂. Love to all xxxxxx
Antiques and plants, love the peonies. Loved going shopping with u today, from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 💕
Enjoyed this video … love the background song!
Bleeding hearts are great for low light areas in your garden.
Such a beautiful place with such an incredible variety of plants, shrubs and flowers! Loved the market too…so special! Makes me miss France 🇫🇷♥️
