Join me for a DIY garden makeover! I'm finally doing my DIY project of adding pea stone to our raised garden pathways. After my project, I'm sharing where I got some of my garden and lavender lemonade inspiration with a tour of the beautiful gardens of Pickety Place. It was also the inspiration for the illustration in Little Red Riding Hood.

I love the pea stone, it looks like a English or French garden. The cobblestones are a nice touch. Your property is just Heaven on earth🌱🌱🌱
Even though we could not complete the project due to lack of materials, I hope you enjoy following along as I work in our center Potager garden.
If you use a heavy metal garden rake and flip the tines upward, you can push and pull the flat edge to easily smooth out that pea gravel.
Love the cobblestones in your herb garden. Your Pickity Place was a lovely garden walk, it inspired me too!
Pickety Place is magical....my sweet husband takes me to lunch there quite often...I always get the lavender lemonade..it’s delicious...I would suggest that everyone who lives in New England make the trip...the food is beyond compare, and the grounds are so peaceful, and the folks who work there are just lovely! Also, your garden looks excellent with the pea stone...I’m always so happy listening to your informative and inspired videos!
What a special video. I savored the whole thing along with my tea. Thank you ❤️ for the special Mother's Day treat.
Wow, your garden looks amazingly beautiful, you are a real deal gardener 👍👍
What a lovely video. Happy Mother's Day🌼🌺🌻
You can speed run and you can speed read, but you cannot speed garden. It is a process, and we (gardeners) are never done! That's the joy of it.
Your garden is looking fantastic with the stones. Pickety Place looks like such a lovely place to visit. Enjoyed the video ☺️.
Great job! I love the uniqueness of the Pickity place such a charming place! The food is is amazing! The gardens are glorious!
I love the addition of the pea stones in the garden! It’s already looking so beautiful, Linda!
Happy Mother's Day Linda and Thanks for the video Love it !!
I've never heard of Pickety Place, thanks so much for sharing. I'm feeling inspiration from your garden too.
What a beautiful video! That's a lot of hard work you're putting into your garden but it's going to be worth it. I once told 50 bags of pine bark mulch into our garden and I did it by myself I loaded the car and drove home, then I had to pull those bags through the yard to the garden area. So I know it's a lot of work but ensure the stone is even so much heavier. Very lovely trip to the Little Red Riding Hood cottage! Those flowers are gorgeous.
I absolutely love the way your garden is looking I really like the pea gravel! I have never thought of the thickness of plants as weed control before, I guess I will be looking into that! I love fairies! that was so whimsical! loved it! thanks so much for sharing! keep us posted! xoxo
I love pea stone. A thick layer is so much better. If the pea stone moves a quick raking will refresh it.
Love your garden,
💖🌼🌸🦋 HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! 🐝🌸🌼🌸🌼💖🐰
This is a nice Mother's Day treat! Wishing you a happy one!
Garden looks wonderful!
Thank you. The peach colored poppy was gorgeous, I had never seen one.
I went to White Flower Farm in Litchfield, Ct. and fell in love with a Watermelon red with black centered poppy. Just beautiful
Thank you, Linda for always bringing us inspiration to beautify our own homes. Our gardens are on tour this year so we are having fun adding whimsical touches throughout the gardens. Your property is so beautiful and serene. Love the pea stone and enjoyed viewing the gardens of Pickety Place, again. Enjoy your day. Hugs, Jane
You SO inspire me to do better with my garden!!! Thank you so much 😊
I enjoyed everything about this video! Your garden paths look so tidy with the pea stone, and the garden tour at “Pickett Place” was absolutely inspirational!
Hi Linda, the stone makes your garden pop can't wait to see the results
Hello Linda, Just received my order complete with a thank you note - yes, I was thrilled!! I love the travelogues as well as the home and garden segments; thank you for such enriching and enjoyable posts! Best, Karen from Maryland
Thank you for the tour. I would love to visit there sometime. The stone looks nice in your garden. I love to see all of the flowers that you grow.
Happy Mother’s Day Linda, I hope my garden turns out as pretty as your garden. It does take time. My are new beds. I am heading outside to work on my beds. Thank you
As much as I like your videos I like watching Willow more. Haha. Great dog!
I have used vinegar aa a weedkiller in the past, its natural and none toxic, and really works , Love the garden 🌷
Great job x well done Linda x 👍😊
🤣 C’mon Ben just go ahead and do it . There’s no sense fighting it once a woman knows what she wants .Linda knows what is needed … Happy wife happier life . ♥️
Bonjour Linda, this was very nice, thank you for sharing your hard work and this beautiful garder.
Loved seeing the Red Riding House!
Loved watching this video with all the beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Mothers Day Linda , loved your video , thank you 🇨🇦
Beautiful garden xx Im soon to be getting my first greenhouse I was 18 when I first wanted one and now I am 62. Hope my boys can put it together. xx
Good Morning Linda... You have inspired me to put some pea stone in my garden path. I just love your home and the outside is just as beautiful as the inside. Great job well done can't wait to see the finish paths. I have tried growing poppies but no luck but I am going to see if I can fine that pink iris I love the colour of them! I live in Ontario, Canada and I can still see snow can't wait to have some warmer weather!
I love the stone in the garden. It really pops against the beautiful green grass. I caught a glimpse of a sweet bush at the Red Ridinghood house. Brings back memories of my grandmothers back yard. Her bush seemed so big and you could smell before you could see it. Happy memory.
Happy Mothers Day! Love your plans...............here in Ontario we are still in lockdown so we can't do any work anywhere. Im inspired by your work , just frustrated I can't do anything. Keeping busy in the house.
Would love to see you cut and arrange some of your flowers. I never seem to have the right vase for the flowers on hand. I really don’t care for cheap floral vases. I like the vase and flowers to complement each other but it takes a long time to acquire beautiful vases.
Thank you Linda, I've lived in New Hampshire my entire life and never knew that place existed I'm going to have to check it out.
I love the work you are doing in your garden.
Your garden is lovely and, as always, you provided inspiration for me. Pea stone it is!
Oh my goodness... love your video. I like the fencing around your garden, great idea. So glad I found you! I’m hooked.😍🤩Thanks for sharing!
I look forward to your videos ❤️
Thank you for a terrific video. It was so lovely and informative. I just love the fencing around your garden ...so pretty.
Thank you Linda! That was fun! very interesting and beautiful gardens 🌿 Your garden is looking great! That’s a lot of work but worth it for that look 💞 I found a coral poppy. Love that color 🧡
Love your videos! They are like mini vacations... Thank you for making them :-)
Happy mothers day! The Pea gravel looks beautiful, loved the peach iris. I have multi colored iris but the dam chipmunks toss them out of the ground. Love the poppies, which I can not grow. I have roses in my back yard and pernials that grow in my front beds with lots of fall bulbs. My side bed is a mess, thinking of tearing somethings out and putting in white and pink shrub roses and a couple cone shaped hydrangea, love the Strawberry one. Has pink and white in it. Roses are so easier with fertilizing sticks that last for 8 weeks. No more weekly fertilizing. Love your garden, moving my raised beds for veggies thinking of doing something like that. Probably next yr.
My goodness what an incredible video this was! I love your garden and appreciate so much you taking us on that trip. I had no idea such a place existed and was thoroughly enchanted! The drying shed is sooooo amazing! I have now watched this twice and will be saving it to view again. Thank you.
That is today's project. I like the color of your gravel. And your bags are large. Lowes bags are about half the size. I cant do truck delivery. My driveway is steep. Truck would hit bottom. My area is a few beds near around my house. Hoping to deter the cat next door. It will be my 2 girls and myself. More yard inspirations. Love your video.
Lovely video!!
Happy Mother's Day 💐
I am getting lots of garden inspiration from you and am thinking of doing something similar in our backyard. Thank you and keep the videos coming- love them all!!
I can’t believe how much you got done, I still haven’t managed to make over my window boxes! And oh for a cocktail 🍸 Hoping to get one next week when places here in Paris open for outdoor dining again! 🥂
LOVED THIS ONE LINDA.
Lovely video Linda..I’ve been wanting to get up to Pickity Place...now I definitely will. Thank you...Liz🌸🌷🌼
Oh I have not been to pickets place in20 years. Must do this again.
Hey, the older we get the better it is to slow down. When I go out to my garden I have to follow a routine before ever getting there. I need squeeze into my Spanx to hold certain areas in, then my knee brace, then my back brace, my shoe support inserts, my hat, my garden gloves, my allergy inhaler, allergy pill and nose spray. Hahahaha. I have learned over the past 20 years what works and what doesn't. I set my egg timer for 3 hours, set in on the patio table and make myself come I when it rings. Then I stretch, take an Epson salts bath and stretch some more. I am still stiff and sore, until I get acclimated. It takes longer every year. I will be 65 in July, hubs is 67. He does yoga and plates and works out every day. He is a God Send. My aching back thanks God every day. The aging struggle is real. However, there is nothing more satisfying than sitting on our covered patio in mid summer, with our rum and coke or wine and enjoying our efforts. You can only do, what you CAN. ENJOY! Your garden, it is off to a fabulous start. There is no room for perfection in a garden. Dig the hole and stick it in the ground. God and Mother Nature will take over. Yours looks wonderful already! Loved the Pickety Place tour as well! What a glorious place! I would love to see their herb garden wheel area, in full bloom as well. Yes! Keep us updated on yours too! Garden videos bring out the Tasha Tudor and Beatrix Potter in we "rooted in" Gardener's. Sorry I got so lengthy. Love your special touches and attention to detail.
You are indeed, an inspiration.
Beautiful gardens! Love the cottage.
Thanks for sharing!!! Love the History and love your garden 🪴
I have been there for Mother's Day a few times. The first time I was 6 months pregnant.
Happy Mother’s Day Linda
Absolutely beautiful garden!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching Gail!
Thanks for sharing your potager garden and Pickety Place. At 11:37 (in the video) at Pickety Place, what are the flowers that the bees are enjoying? If it's not too much trouble. I just found your channel this weekend and am binge watching and note taking about plants I've seen. Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration and education. Happy Mother's day and Happy Gardening 🌸🌹
You are always an inspiration, the garden pea stone looks great! Love seeing all the unique little places you share. Happy Mother’s Day.🌷
I am a new subscriber, I love your videos. There's a "plant app" you can get on your phone so you can snap a photo or point your phone at a plant and it will tell you the name of the plant. Theres another one for rocks & stones too! Take care
Beautiful inspiration.
What a delightful way to begin my Sunday morning. Thank you Linda, it is difficult to describe how a video like this can be such a gift-it’s been a very difficult week. Happy Mother’s Day to you! 🌷🌸💐I love to see that besides your work ethic, you also appreciate pausing long enough to take in what surrounds you. And I had never heard of this charming garden, what a lovely lunch date! So glad you and Ben had time to spend in the beautiful surroundings. ‘Til next time-take care, happy gardening!
Happy Mother's Day! Absolutely love watching your video and the work in your Potager garden!
Last month I learned the hard way that when you start with one precise pea stone and you are missing bags need to go back right away. I went to many nursery to find the one I wanted.
We just picked up over 100 bags recently. Thankfully we have a flat bed trailer and the store had a forklift. Then our two grown sons helped us lay the stone. My husband was in a car accident last summer and broke his back in 8 places do his back is not what it use to be. Those bags are very heavy!
I enjoyed this very much ! Thanks
It looks beautiful! Anne
How lovely..thank you for the wonderful start to my day. You always inspire me. ❤🌼❤
I love pea gravel. Linda Vater was my inspiration to use it at our house. I spread over a hundred bags in the paths up back last year and I have not regretted it. My poor hubby could only bring a couple of bags in the wheelbarrow at a time because they were so heavy(he is 78) and then I would open them and spread them(I am almost 74). Yours is looking wonderful. It takes time to do it all❤️❤️❤️
Hi Linda and Happy Mothers Day! Your property is breathtaking!! I love what you are doing with your garden. Can't wait to follow the progress!! Have a wonderful day! Hugs! :)
Linda, if you research you'll find that vinegar only kills the tops of the weeds and not the roots. I used to use it also. Love your channel, keep inspiring us! I also lived in New England but now near Charleston, S.C.
Old gardeners trick. Boiling water on weeds kills the roots! Been killing dandelions in rock edging for years that way! 🙂
I forgot that! Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know Lisa!
I always enjoy the New England field trips you take us on! I noticed one of your rhubarb's in the cement pot, and I remembered that last year you had planted rhubarb in both the pots is this the same one? I was thinking about doing this myself if it works out well. I love watching your artwork I remember doing that when I was younger you have encouraged me to try it again! So relaxing and rewarding. Happy Mother's Day Linda.
One did not come back this year, but I am glad one made it so that I can make our family Rhubarb custard pie!
Thank you for your reply.🤗
Enchanting❤
Happy Mothers Day Linda and thanks for the beautiful garden tour. I am in Virginia and am looking for a Carolina Allspice . We have had one everywhere we have lived but evidently they are in scarce supply. Keep your videos coming . You are an inspiration to us all!
I have similar raised garden with the exact same fence. Unfortunately the ground hog has managed to learn to climb it. I notice you have a some additional fencing attached to your fence. Is it hardware wire? Also , instead of pea gravel I used larger stone for my pathways. I originally used pea gravel but it had to be replenished too often. Your bed is lovely. You inspired me to edge mine with pavers . I probably should have done that originally but I was in a hurry to get the tomatoes planted.
Love peach flowers. The color grave choice is nice
Your garden will be absolutely beautiful! And, I’ve added Pickety Place as a destination. I hope to visit the TashaTudor house in Vermont, so a New England trip is in order.
Gorgeous!!
To get rid of the wed in pavement, you simply have to put vinaiger over it once it a while ind it will die.
Your container seems to be really to low, Maybe youn should use a flat rock to lift it up a little.
I loved the garden tour! When will it get warm it’s still cold windy cloudy and rainy in NJ 😫🌧🌫
That shade of poppy is called Salmon. My absolute favorite!
I agree bags r Easier!! I love gardening but am petrified of the ticks!!! I live in NH Also don’t u have ticks????
lovely! what type of boots are you wearing? i need some for garden areas...
Hi linda, i enjoy watching your videos they are very inspirational and relaxing. I have a question for you, you’ve mentioned you have fairies throughout your house please explain the meaning for this I would love to understand
I have small decorative fairy items hidden. Like I have a pewter fairy ornament hidden on a lamp light switch, a fairy in a terrarium, a coin with a fairy on it on a shelf, a fairy plant stake in a flower pot and in my garden, etc.
Yes but what is the significance
Can you share your weed killer recipe with vinegar please?
I would like to know where you found your black fencing around your beautiful garden!
It was at my home when we bought it. Lowes had it, but I don't see it on their website. That said, I did find it on Amazon amzn.to/3zTUMvQ
Can you please tell me where the charming garden fence came from? How tall is it? You mentioned deer...it diesnt look tall enough for deer but it’s hard to tell in a video.
Ours was here when we bought the house, but it is available at Lowes. So far no deer have gotten in.
What's the name of the music at the star of the video?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
You have forget-me-not and iris.
How do you keep the rabbits away from the plants?
At this point, I don't. Over the past couple years I have been trying to plant things they don't like as much and I take my chances with other things.
