    Hello, I have been waiting for your next video and here it is! Now you are discussing your gardens and park. I am a horticulturist. Remember I know you like ivy but the root system of ivy is very dense. You will be able to grow daffodils and narcissus, but tulips will not grow in the shade. And after a while the bulbs you plant in a forest will die back without replanting on an annual basis. As for your parterre garden the design is perfect. The shade trees will have to come down. It will need full sun, to thrive. I suggest the smaller ‘Korean Boxwood’ versus standard Buxus for the perimeter. I grew Annabelle hydrangea in my gardens and orchard in Newport, RI. They have enormous flowers. What is most special about them is that the white flowers turn a rich green color in the fall. I think you want leaves on your garden floor as well as the mulch will feed the trees. Do not let the ivy climb your trees. The ivy takes the energy away from the trees. You always present a fait a compli plan, so I hope you listen to one’s advice who has planted all of the small shrubs and perennials you are discussing. I love the plan, but do not expect tulips to grown in the shade. Also look into the native forest wild flowers that you can plant in your forest as well. There is wild ‘ladies slipper’, may apple, jack - in - the -pulpit’ a variety of plants that are beautiful in the spring and summer. Also trilium. On another note, have you planned for a underground watering system?

      You sound very knowledgeable and I'd love to see your garden, but perhaps you don't know France and what will survive/thrive there? I don't mean to cause any offence and I'm probably reaching.
      I'm only saying because I love those trees and even though there's alot of shade I don't want to see them cut down 🙈

    I had my little forest in Argentina, with ivy covering the ground and climbing the trees, where owls, pigeons and sparrows nested and had endless conversations with each other... Also an English-style garden, with robust dahlias, daffodils, lavenders, acanthus, invincible jasmines, clivias and anemones, with butterflies and bees working tirelessly. And large orange and lemon trees that enveloped everything with their perfume in spring. There was also a fenced plot where vegetables and legumes grew protected under the shade of a mulberry tree, surrounded by a bed of aromatic herbs to keep them safe from the persevering ants... I know the care and love that accompanying nature requires in its growth and also the happiness that is seeing it in all its splendor. Success with this beautiful project and congratulations from Argentina.

    Your plans and progress sound delightful and in context with the Chateau. Thank you for including us. Although you likely have already planted the Buxus and Taxus, it's important to remember that there are many species and cultivars of both.. some are quite large and vigorous requiring more pruning. Taxus has separate male and female plants. The berries on the female are highly toxic and their red colour would not add to the serene design and palette of the Parterre.
    A few bulbs and plants for your consideration: Galanthus nivalis/Snowdrops, white flowers very early bloom (bulb) Naturalizes well
    Hyacinthoides non-scripta/white bluebells. Bulb. Naturalizes well.
    Galium odoratum/ small white flower early Spring/noninvasive ground cover/edible Naturalizes well
    Ferns..many to choose from. Three Canadian choices, Polystichum munitum, Polystichum polyblepharum..both evergreen..mass plant in forest settings and river banks. Adiatum pedatum, semi deciduous, very delicate for close-up viewing.
    Matteucia struthiopteris/Ostrich fern, quite large, stunning.
    Dicksoniana antarctica/tree fern/tropical so not winter hardy/gorgeous. Grow in a large container and protect in winter. Something to consider adding as your gardens progress.
    Daphnes and Gardenias. Beautiful mostly evergreen scented shrubs.
    One reminder for the Parterre plantings, if I may...Peonies full sun, Hydrangea macrophylla shade..
    Wishing you continued success. In a chaotic world, it is reassuring knowing there are people devoted to creating beauty and order.

    When you thin out the Forrest to let in more light, a lot of the ground covers and wildflowers will start growing again, naturally.
    Chateau LaLande did that and their Forrest is healing.
    Their Forrest provides fire wood, lumber for construction and there is now a healthy balance of young, medium and mature trees to ensure to longevity of the Forrest.
    Check out the movie “The Gardener”
    It is a beautiful documentary of the gardens at Les Quatre Vents, full of surprises, amazing vistas and drama. It’s one men’s vision.
    The more we get to know you through your videos, the more you seem like a Renaissance Man, full of talents, knowledge, versatile interests and vision.

    Wonderful tour - the gardens are lovely, and will be even more beautiful when they are completed. The river is absolutely charming - I am wondering whether it flooded (not sure if you had lots of rain in your region). Interesting that ivy could be beneficial! I have those cyclamen in my lawn, and they bloom both in spring and autumn - they are a real treasure. Snow drops are nice and bloom beginning in December until the early part of March.

    You have a lovely forest, Anthoni. The river and the bridge add a romantic feel. If I may suggest, if you want to organize treks around the forest, the pit stops could be a chance for people to know what trees and other flora are there and if there are background stories at each stop, that could be a very interesting walk. Or if you want you can put up some "active spots" like a tree house, a swing or even a climbing rope for those physically able to climb. All the best!

    Great job on the design of the gardens. I love the plan. Will you also add a vegetable and herb gardens to support the chateau? How do you select the plants, flowers, shrubs and type of grass for planting? You guys seem pretty knowledgeable. I really like the change with the seasons. Keep up the great work.

    I was wondering when we would be getting another installment from you. Always leave people wanting more is a good strategy and I suspect you're probably a busy man.
    I'm impressed with how in depth you've researched and planned your project.
    Personally, I like the Taxus flanking the forest entrance. It signals a transition into the fantasy woodland ahead. Perhaps a scene evoking A Midsummer Night's Dream.
    I'm a bit surprised that you wish to plant the entire forest floor with ivy. Will you be able to maintain healthy trees with the forest floor covered in an invasive and parasitic monoculture like Hedera? I admit that it sounds lovely if you can get it all to grow together harmoniously.
    I love naturalized bulbs in the woods. I remember driving one Spring day into a wooded area outside Nevers to see les jonquils. There were hundreds of people in the woods picking them. They were as thick as dandelions and twice as cheerful. Truly unforgettable!
    The patch of cyclamen was spectacular. They're one of my favorites.
    I applaud your ambition. It will be magnificent when finished.
