Thank you so much :)
Speechless! Awesome garden, thank you for the tour🙂
Thank you :)
Just beautiful! As I watch your video, I can't help but imagine all the work that goes into it.Thanks for sharing.
There is a fair bit of work :)
Wow! You’ve been a busy bee ! So many lovely plants... but the Rose and the purpurata won my heart!
Busy busy :)
I feel like the fountain of youth, the triwizard cup, and the holy grail are all in that garden somewhere. Beyond stunning!
What an enchanting garden you've created!
Thank you
Wood, what a beautiful inspiring garden. Roll on the summer.
Thank you so much. Yes, roll on summer!
The perfect thing to watch on a rainy day in March☔️. I think I spotted some Himalayan poppies-such a lovely shade of blue. Don’t think they like the heat where we are so it’s a treat to see them. Your garden has so many lovely destinations. Refreshing!
Thank you for watching.
Happy Gardening. Just came back from helping some school children pull out out winter annual weed. Also helped them plant zinnias and sunflower 🌻 seeds in cups. 🌿
Seriously beautiful - leaves me speechless! All your hard work is rewarded & more 😊
Thank you 😄
A wonderful tour! I didn't think that your garden is so huge! You did a lot of work to have this beauty. Thank you for sharing. It's unbelievable & fantastic!
Thank you so much, Claire
Your garden is absolutely magnificent! Thank you for sharing, Rachel.
You are very welcome. Thank you for dropping by :)
Nice to see how it changed from when I was there last autumn :) lots and lots of things looking good!! Thanks for the tour
You must come back in summer some time!
Absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden with us!
You are very kind :)
BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for the tour

Thank you

So sorry to hear that, Marcia. Hugs
Thank you!
Oh Rachel your garden is stunning!!
Aw, thank you so much 😊
Your garden is so beautiful Rachel.
Thank you so much. Wishing you a great evening and happy growing.
lovely garden ,Rachel Thank you for the tour!
Thank you for coming along.
Wow , I'm impressed. It's such a lovely garden that made me dream. Thanks for the tour and for sharing.. regards from Spain
Thank you for watching and for such great compliments.
Beautiful garden ! Un petit coin de paradis en Irelande 😇 . Your cattleya purpurata blooms & your roses are stunning. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you for such great comments :)
Your garden is beautiful,
It makes me nostalgic for when I lived in Ireland
Ah, thank you. I think we are all nostalgic now that winter is in the air.
Wonderful! Flowers season 😍
I finally figured out who Roger was referring to when he mentioned Rachel! Love your videos! The Cornus controversa Variegata backed by the purple beeches is absolutely stunning! What a fabulous idea. Garden on! 💞
Thank you for watching and such a positive comment!
Rachel your garden is awesome. I love all your Avenues, and so many of them. How much land does your garden cover? It looks very large. Secondly I love how constantly you put light leaves next to dark leaves small leaves next to large leave creating a vibrancy that shocks you into looking, now how has she done that! 👏👏😁
Actually, I agree with you. I spent about a week on Pico Island but wished it had been pretty Faial after my visit.
Thank you for yet another superior video. It is so obvious that you work VERY hard to get everything so lovely. (I only have .39 acres and find it very hard to keep up.). (Somewhere towards the start there was a row of orange cylinders and I wonder what they are. Although there is often mist or rain in Ireland it looks like the climate is amazing and hospitable to such a large assortment of plants. (Said the person where the temp was -22°c several days ago). My daughter and son in law visited Ireland a few years ago and they said it was the most beautiful place they ever visited, even though they were there in late fall. I aspire to visit some day (ha and would fill up my suitcase with little plants if allowed!!!)
You had me puzzling for a long time over those orange cylinders bit I guess you are referring to 1:25 in the video. Those are Terra Cotta pipes, used to plant up succulents that like good drainage, just a quirky little feature. Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment on my video and I do hope you visit Ireland one day soon.
Liked the tour and was very impressed and inspired by many aspects.
Thank you
Wow!!!! Your garden is wonderful! I could live in that garden full time, I would Just have to come in every now and then to eat and use the toilet. Just wow!!!
Haha. Thank you
❤️ 💕 your garden so so beautiful 😍 Tks for the tour from South Florida USA
Hello Florida and thank you for watching.
Wow! Just lovely! New subscriber, here. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous garden.
Welcome to the channel :)
Simply Beautiful! I love your garden and envy your extended knowledge of plant names. I'm a new subscriber and you have me hooked with your beautiful orchids and garden. Thank you for the tour of your amazing garden. Amy
You are very welcome to the channel, Amy. Hope you find lots to detain you here. Have a great weekend!
Thank you Rachel, I’m certain I will. I can’t get enough of your gorgeous garden, I’ve viewed your garden videos again, it’s eye candy to me. Enjoy your Garden!
Indeed, laelia purpurata is looking fabulous! How can you even keep that beautiful garden in such a perfect shape?!
Such a treat! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your gardens beautiful.....yours is the one that the gives me inspiration for mine, thank you.
Aw, thank you so much, Deborah.
Love the gates. Beautiful green.
Thanks for dropping by
What an amazing garden! We have a large garden in the US but yours puts ours to shame! I’m curious about how much staff it requires ( besides you) to keep everything so lush and well tended.
Staff? Haha.
So beautiful to watch this as we sizzle in the south east of england, it is SO hard and things are rapidly starting to turn brown, not lovely lush green like yours. Please send your rain here :-)
Hello, from Michigan! Your garden is such a beautiful visual!
Hello to Michigan and thank you for your kind words.
What an amazing garden. Do you have a video of your garden during winter time? I'm wondering how many of those plants are evergreen, deciduous, perennial and annual? In Melbourne Australia, we don't have snow in winter.
Good morning and tha.k you for your interest in my garden. The garden relies heavily on perennials which provide lots of colour and summer interest. In my opinion, evergreens offer winter structure but at the expense of summer spontaneity so I don't use them much.
Thank you for sharing, you have a beautiful place! Hugs & sunshine & wishing you a lovely midsummers 🌸🍓🌞 N
Thank you
love light peace in this moment. just love your gardens. how big is the acres that you have. its beautiful. love to all.
Thank you. The garden is just one acre in size.
Hi Rachel, your garden is beautiful. I hope to visit it someday soon. Can you tell me the name of the small umbrella shaped tree in Josh's garden @ 8.41. I would really like to get one for my own garden.
It is Daphniphyllum macropodum, usually grown as a bush. Thank you for watching.
Adorei! Brava! Lots of beautiful inspiration from your garden. I will be working on my garden this spring and early summer. Thank you! Ciao
Thank you for such a lovely comment and wishing you happy growing!
Inspirational garden, thank you for sharing
Thanks for visiting

Thanks for visiting
Very beautiful!

Someone could spend hours and hours getting lost in such a place!
Lovely and ready for the tours!
What a beautiful garden
Thank you
What wonderful gardens. Compliments to you from the state of Virginia in the the US😊❤️😊
Oh Also I did subscribe❤️😊❤️
Thank you for very. And welcome to the channel :)
Breathtaking!!!!!
Stunning garden!
Thank you
Lovely tour Rachel - I wonder have people any idea of the hours of work that are put in to make this 'treasure garden' look like it does. Bail o Dhia ar an obair [God bless the work]
Thank you so much for your kind words, Elizabeth. Yes, a labour of love :)
So beautiful!
Thank you
Absolutely beautiful garden 👍. How big is your property?
Thank you, Elaine. The garden is an acre (half a hectare) but that includes the ungardened/vegetable area at the back which was fenced off.
Gardening at Douentza thanks 🙏.
Wonderful garden and beautiful plants! Love those arches and the big rose. C. purpurata looks amazing . Does it bloom this many every year?
Purpurata often blooms twice a year for me. I think the 3 spikes is about normal. It is a very large pant to only have 3 spikes though!
It's a very lovely garden!
Thank you
Hello from India. Started watching your videos and so.ply love them! Your grouping and choice of plants and aesthetic sense. Could you reccomend a coffee table book of a majority of plants you grow and how to care for them. Waiting anxiously for your reply😊🙏
How nice to hear from you, Uma, and welcome to the channel. I am not sure I can recommend one book to you but I did make this video about the gardening books that were formative to me so maybe you will find it interesting...

Amazing!!! I’m inspired.
Happy gardening!
You have a beautiful garden.
Thank you.
Love it! such a labour of love!
Huge lovely garden. A lot of hard work. Terrific...but next time...pls hold the camera higher...less grass, more foliage. Cheers from Wicklow.
Rosa celeste is looking fabulous
She is. Thanks, Tina.
Absolutely lovely 👏
Thank you
Owww v nice organize garden, v big .
Thanks
But, if i am on a open day in your garden, i can take the seeds of the plants i dont have?
Haha. No, you can't! 😁😁 Not unless I give them to you.
@@GardeningatDouentza ok, thank you very much
Sorry if i ask you too. Its because i dont want to have a bad figyure:)
Such a magnificent garden! I do miss the beauty of the temperate garden, just so much variety. And love that you said _Liquidambar_, always been one of my favorite tree scientific names, much better than the common name Sweetgum, IMO. 😀
Thank you for coming along for the tour.
Very pretty !
Beautiful
Hi Rachel, that black iris is stunning. I’m going to look for that variety. Love the color. Your garden as a whole is stunning. Thanks for shareing.
Thank you, Cheryl. And happy iris hunting!
TFS, you have two large grasses on the path to the house,could you tell me there name please, its not oats but some other one ??
Hmm, not sure where you mean but Stipa gigantea and Chionochloa rubra feature strongly in my garden. Perhaps it's one of them?
yes it must be the grass chionochloa rubra, thank you
Beautiful Donna from TEXAS
Thanks so much from Wexford to Texas. Have a great day.
I really like the dark leafed beeches with this flowering tree next to them. Very nice contrast betweem them. If I was in Ireland I guess I would create a garden with spaces for a few kinds of temperate forests from arround the world. I would try to replicate each plant ecosystem. For instance, you would find in there a place where Quercus ilex var. rotundifolia x Quercus ilex var. ilex is mixed with Quercus x cerrioides and Quercus faginea, Acer opalus var. granatense, Fraxinus ornus, Sorbus aria, Lonicera implexa, Smilax aspera, Virbunum tinus and Arbutus unedo, hedera helix, Prunus Spinosa, Amelanchier ovalis, and Ilex aquifolium. :)
Thank you, Habeeb. Do you have your own garden?
My family has two cottages and one of them has a little garden with a ginkgo, an abies pinsapo, and a prunus pisardii and a magnolia grandiflora. All bad choices for this climate because I don't want to water forever in the summer...except the magnolia, my favourite one, which seems to be quite drought tolerant! hhhh The rest need either cool/dry summers or wet/hot/warm/mild summers in order to survive (but the magnolia, even if it's from the southern USA, it has no problem, maybe because of the soil, where I planted it, in a quite shady area, and its hard leaves). So I decided to substitute the prunus pisardii with a fraxinus ornus, the ginkgo with a prunus spinosa, and the abies pinsapo with a Sorbus aria, all very beautiful, local species, and looking fantastic after one year only. hhhh
So beautiful thanks
You're welcome
Wow is all I can say 😱❤️
So many things I would ask about :)
Well, maybe you want to give me some hints for future videos?
Well, I'd like to see more about the Paulownia Tomentosa. At 2:00 there is an interesting fern like bush on the right I'm curious about, a Sumac maybe? At 2:45, behind the grass is a plant that interests me. The blue flowers on the right in front of the mock oranges at 3:00 look great and I'd like to know about them. I'd like to know more about Lobelia Tupa at 4:12. Liquid Amber Tree at 4:33 would be interesting to hear about. Is that a Verbascum at 4:56, would be great to know more about growing that plant. Great looking tree-like plant behind the table at 4:58 that intrigues me. Do you grow your Saracenia outside all year (5:16) that would make an interesting topic. I'd find a video about the yellow stemmed Bamboo at 8:16 interesting. the small tree/bush with large, elongated leaves at 8:41 is intriguing. Centre screen at 9:44 is a large leafed plant I don't recognise but looks great. At 9:49 I think I spotted some small (dwarf?) banana plants. Also the Saracenia planter shown at 9:57 would be interesting to hear how it was created (i.e. soil). Sorry for the long list but you did ask :)
Okay, well here are videos to answer some of your questions.
