    I bought an EcoFlow for my home because of all the recommendations from the chateau videos. I'm so glad I did. As a single person living alone it is such a comfort to know I have an affordable backup. BTW, Jonathan is such a sweetie. He looks so proud on that tractor!

    As a landscaper myself, I can't wait to see it happening. Gardens are not just a frame - they give personality to the outside of any building, and deeply influence the first impression and how you feel about it.
    Not to mention the pleasure and peace that a beautiful garden gives you.
    I wish you great success in this new project!!

    Jonathan looks so happy on the tractor! What a wonderful life that little boy is living!!! 🤗❤️🎶 Yes, once you start implementing your garden you may organically make new decisions. What a wonderful space to work with!!! 🌺🌻🌸🎶❤️💖🇨🇦🇫🇷🇨🇦🇫🇷

    Ash you are so patient with Jonathan it was great to see him smiling as he was driving the tractor. The garden is going to be so full of color and beauty Terry you and Ash have a great dream that’s coming true.

    I just love how Jonathan is a full participant in the journey you are on. I think this will give him complete respect in the chateau and on the property. He will understand the depth of the work that has gone into each step of the projects you have taken on. I know I have said it before but it needs repeating, I love your dedication to hard work and making the chateau and grounds a loving home. I have both admiration and respect for your family.

    The curvilinear & straight lines, beautiful & interesting backdrops with pops of colour... water features!! My goodness, they've come up with lovely designs- front and back. Your gardens will be a labour of love, but spectacularly effective. Jonathan driving the tractor... you GO young man. It's coming together, and I'm so pleased for you ALL. 🤟🥰

    I agree with you all about Jonathan. Just so rewarding to see him drive the tractor with a big smile on his face. That was my favorite pard of the video. Just precious. He is going to grow up to be hard working and wonderful man just like Ash and Terry.

    It was so cute to see the chickens chase behind you looking for worms. I guess with the new garden the feathery girls will have to roam elsewhere. Seeing the pride in Johnathan's and all of your eyes when he was driving the tractor was precious. He is growing up fast.
    Karen and Shane have made an amazing garden design. Tracy, I am beginning to think you love hard work. Your always smiling working, but more in the garden or outside. I am like that.
    Boys, I hope you get the urns you want at a better price.
    The little fountains, the birds, will love that. The color scheme and plant selection thus far sound awesome.
    Lord Patrick as always gave a helping paw.

    I so enjoyed watching Jonathan drive the tractor. His little head was bouncing around. He was so pleased with himself. And then, of course, there was adorable Patrick out there trying to help with the digging.
    Terry, Ash, and Tracy, I know you all will do a fabulous job on this garden. How can you miss when he’s going to colorcode everything for you.😁😁😁

    I love this vlog, it was packful, but just love how you all make clearing out an area, look so easy, like if just in those few minutes. LOL But that all of you do it with joy.
    But the chickens were out and do chickens not get scared of the noise or being so close to the equipment? ? for anyone who knows. But I got so excited for the new formal gardens to come. Oh my gosh, I feel like the insides of the chateau is feeling better but it's outer body or clothing her will be just beautiful. So happy for you to find some people who just are gifted in that area. Great job family. Love it.

  • @mauricewright5279
    @mauricewright5279 5 місяців тому

    The garden plan looks terrific. It appears period appropriate in design. yet, there is still something that is cutting edge with some of the shrubs selected. That is very clever! I can only imagine how intriguing it will be to stroll through it. Again, you guys should get some official French recognition for the careful restoration that you are curating. You have the most keen awareness of the history of this property. You could make a documentary series on this whole process. Honestly, the property is having an awakening like sleeping beauty or Snow White awakening from a long sleep.

    Bravo! So exciting to see this formal garden. The framework being laid so the planting and paths with it all coming together. It's going to be quite elegant and I'm sure with all of the plantings statuary absolutely gorgeous. This is so exciting and everyone has worked so very hard and again letting Jonathan help is wonderful but the whole adult team I must commend and take my hat off because I myself have loved gardening for years. I still do it but on a smaller scale now. Very small and house plants. Will continue to follow this journey❤

    Hope you will plan to hold a garden party launch for the garden. You may be able to start a local community volunteer garden group to help maintain the grounds on a regular basis.
    Also hope you will consider garden lighting as part of the plans. It would be spectacular at night. Perhaps solar lighting setup.
