This song was a favorite of my Nana’s, who raised me, she passed away this October. This was the last song she sung with us in the hospital, and I like to think she saw us as her garden. It will move me for the rest of my life.
Exactly. And they so do now too. Forever so. ❤️💙❤️ Found this very same video on UA-cam in the spring of 2018 and became eternally enchanted and bewitched and inspired, right then. Still feel that exact very same way. This performance of this song never fails to inspire. 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 "In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there." So exactly true. Someone bless. ☺️ Their spell lasts forever. ❤️💙❤️
My most treasured memory is meeting Mary & Noel (Paul) but unfortunately not Peter. Through the 1960s & 70s, I tried to sound like Peter Yarrow. However, after half a century we have both grown old and unfortunately Peter now sounds like me. During a concert at Festival Hall in Melbourne in about 1983, Paul broke a string and left the stage leaving Peter & Mary to improvise until he came back. Electronic tuners hadn't been invented so it took ages for Peter & Paul to get tuned up. The audience cracked up when Mary went to the microphone & said "NEXT TIME I WILL BRING A HARP & HAVE HALF AN HOUR OF MY OWN TUNING".
This is something we need to share with the world... I am so thankful I grew up with these beautiful humans. If I can do and be as they... Grow the time is close at hand.
hello I am 65 and first saw PP&M in early show, then Carnegie Hall , Peace and Civil Right Rallies all up to a few years Mary passed on. they were just wonderful true singers
I saw them at Circle Star theater, and that show was really magical. I also saw lots of Seeger and Guthrie shows, as well as following the Grateful Dead. I miss those days so much, but the memories will always be with me.
P.P. and M were such a fabulous group. I just wish they could be re-discovered again. Such great songs and Paul Stookey was such a great guitar player.
In their early years, they were pretty serious during their concerts --- well except when Paul would do his stand up comedy. These later years they seemed so much more relaxed and fun loving, smiling and moving to the music. Lovely. 😊
I miss Mary Travers terribly. I grew up listening to their album, "A Holiday Celebration". It was a family tradition..Even today at almost 29 years old, I literally don't feel like it's Christmas until I hear all those songs from beginning to end at least once
I mss Mary Travers and group. Their music carried on the tradition started by The Almanac singers, Pete Seeger and the Weavers. Listening to rhem kept me grounded
Christmas starts tomorrow for me (1st December) when I play Children Go Where I Send Thee from that CD. Just so inspirational. Happy Christmas to you and yours!
This song has been forgotten. It is from my generation. Today, 2022, young people don't even know it exists. I want to say this today. Our farmers feed us. They work hard so we can feed our families and ourselves. I am a person from the 60s. Why do we allow this current administration to attack the one thing that we rely upon...food, sustenance. These folks are the backbone of America. God bless them. Peter Paul and Mary did this song right. Arlol Guthrie also. Pete Seeger wrote it back in the 30s. So, leave the people of agriculture alone. Help them feed our country. This current administration dosent care about a damn thing. A note from the Vietnam generation. We also served when we had our job to do. Thank you.
I've never ever heard of them. Stumbled across while looking for the old nursery rhyme 'Mary Mary quite contrary'. Searched along the lines of -old song with Mary and garden-. What an absolute gem! Made me cry it's so beautiful. I'll be looking for more right now.
@@shellym4931 As you can tell I am of the generation that would know of Peter Paul and Mary Travers. Might I suggest Puff the Magic Dragon. There are so many others. I'm glad you can enjoy some of the music from my generation and appreciate the talents that went into leaving behind enjoyment to generations in the future.
I love this song.... been a BIG fan of Peter Paul And Mary since I was 8 years old. Now 31 yrs old. Met All 3 members in person at Ravinia in Chicago IL. signed autogrph cds and a picture taken with PETER in 1996.... plus a personal letter from Peter in 1993... Can someone please upload PP&Mommy Too : "It's Raining" PBS 1993.. Have A Great Day Everyone... Blessings All.
Jeremy Ferrantelli ... that’s good for you ^_^. I know them from very young too (I’m the same age as you) but never have opportunity to meet them in person. I’m from far away country. I can follow them more just last 10 years. At least, all clips and comments made me feel I have a lot of friends who love this group as same as me.
at work, I'm the miserable s.o.b. who sees the negative side of everything. I get excluded from meetings and nobody invites me to lunch because I'm so ornery.I wonder what my co-workers would think if they saw me get all teary-eyed EVERY TIME I hear PP&M do Garden Song or Puff.
This comment could have been written by my father who passed away 4 months ago. He was hard and crusty on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.
I am a fan of PP&M since I was 12 y/o, and now I am 70. I especially love their magic harmonies. But, is Peter quite out of tune at 0:48? I think so, and Paul realised that and gives Peter a piercing look...
What I love about this song of PPM is all the kids singing along..... it is ther'e world to inherit.... it will be the world that they make of it. I'm a old fart now.....62.. but I've spent most of my life as an environmental scientist, an ecologist......... Climate change is REAL. Trump is ignorant at best... most likely a social path ......an very dangerous!!! Pray for peace, an pray for the earth :)

It will move me for the rest of my life.
When they harmonized, the world was a much better place.
This trio always had the audience in their spell with their music 🎼🎶
Exactly.
And they so do now too.
Forever so. ❤️💙❤️
Found this very same video on UA-cam in the spring of 2018 and became eternally enchanted and bewitched and inspired, right then.
Still feel that exact very same way.
This performance of this song never fails to inspire. 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
"In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there."
So exactly true.
Someone bless. ☺️
Their spell lasts forever. ❤️💙❤️
Mary is still here as long as you remember and share .Mary is one of the coolest grandmothers this world has ever known.
I am an old gardener but young in Spirit. And I listen to this song every morning. And it inspires me to tend my fields

This song is EVERYTHING! I sing it to my plants all the time, and I'm going to embroider all the lyrics on my patio furniture pillows.
This is something we need to share with the world... I am so thankful I grew up with these beautiful humans. If I can do and be as they... Grow the time is close at hand.
Why is seeing all those little faces making me cry. Tears are streaming down my face.
Same thing happened to me Quite unexpected.
Mother Earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care
I had a home in Julian, CA and this song reminds me of that time. I met my true love after playing this song.
Their beautiful voices and their love of
Mankind and nature are wonderful! They are one of the greatest groups
that ever lived! Lovely music!
John denver spirit ontbreekt this is an good song for the childeren
I too miss Mary. I love this song and I miss seeing them in concert.
One of the best songs by one of the best folk artists ever. God bless always from Patrick thank you for all of your gifts
This is indeed a lovely cover of John Denvers popular John Mallets' song.
@@ellenw391 Dave Mallett
And the always wonderful Dick Kniss!!! His bass playing was like a ribbon snaking through this song. What beauty!!!!
That's why he was their go-to bassist.
Peter Paul n Mary what beautiful harmony always listening to them ❤
Dick Kniss, we loved you too. What an understated, underappreciated gem you were for all those years.
Its great to see kids get involved with this song
Love this, even all these years later
hello I am 65 and first saw PP&M in early show, then Carnegie Hall , Peace and Civil Right Rallies all up to a few years

John Denvers recording of this actually made the charts...cool huh?
We are interring my Mom's ashes this Sunday April 20, 2024. This will be sung by all of us, her youngest grandchild playing guitar.
P.P. and M were such a fabulous group. I just wish they could be re-discovered again. Such great songs and Paul Stookey was such a great guitar player.

LOVE YOU and your music!! Thank you.....
Very good song.......A song we need at this time in our world.
And sweet to see all those kids singing along!!
Fantastic. Paul Stookey is such a brilliant guitar player

The song was written by folk singer David Mallett in 1975, not Seeger. John Denver also did an excellent cover.
It gets so dusty in the room whenever I play this song.
Magic........thanks 🇦🇺
I love this PBS Concert & I wish that someday they would transfer it from VHS to DVD ...
They really need to.
And now they finally have !
Beautiful, your little improvisations, your verbal interventions. Haven't heard a song so embellished and uplifted as this!
I love this song.... been a BIG fan of Peter Paul And Mary since I was 8 years old. Now 31 yrs old. Met All 3 members in person at Ravinia in Chicago IL. signed autogrph cds and a picture taken with PETER in 1996.... plus a personal letter from Peter in 1993...

oh my gosh at Ravinia it's been so long ago I had forgotten all about it thanks for bringing back that memory

I can follow them more just last 10 years. At least, all clips and comments made me feel I have a lot of friends who love this group as same as me.
I love this song. This is by and far the best version in my humble opinion.
There IS no bad version of this song!
良いですね〜💕癒されます😊

I think they'd smile and you might get invited to the things you had hoped to avoid ;-)
Love your comment.
This comment could have been written by my father who passed away 4 months ago. He was hard and crusty on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.
Just reading your comment made me smile. I bet you are a very wonderful person deep down. Have a blessed day my friend.
Could have been written by one of my friends (online friends) too except that I believe that he never would actually write it about himself.
This is beautiful
i remember learning this
love it !! one of my all time favorite groups..and I work in a church community garden on wk-ends.iso perfect song for a garden. tks
...and your name is Flowers! I sat behind an April Flowers in elementary school n Cincinnati. Love that name! Happy gardening to you. 😉
Sing this song to your plants. Mine love it!
Nature is your best Friend forever... Nature always give you love and care without expecting anything in return... Thank you my best friend...
At 3:45, Noel hums to the end of the song while playing the guitar.
Delightful!
Great cover. Dave Mallet is one of the greats.
Love always!
So good 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I remeber, this Song sung by "John Henry Deutschen Dorfer" a ka John Davner. 😅
RIP Mary.
Pete Seeger sang this song, too.
Traumhaft!!!
this is good
\
💘
Lovely, but not a touch on the Makem & Clancy version, they really know how to tell the story of the song as opposed to just singing the song :-)
Quality
I always thought John Denver wrote this song!
David Mamett.
2:15

Wasn't this originally a Pete Seeger song?
It was written by Dave Mallett.

What happened to Mary?🤨
she died of leukemia in 2009.
lolll
This is the kind of songs kids need to be learning. Not the pop BS that has no meaning whatsoever. Or drag queen crap.
Guy looks like doctor Phil
Gardening is a pain in the ass. It is not as nice and romantic as this song makes it seem.
Fuck gardening.
Lol 😆
