    Hi Rosanne! Do you put sealer on your natural stones/flagstones? And what have you done through the years to keep the stones maintained/looking beautiful? I absolutely love your garden! So inspiring!!

    Thank you, your garden I stunning. I’m planning a sculpture at the moment snd I want to grow Irish Moss all over it 😍 what I’d live to ask is where you purchased your furniture set!? I’m in UK but I’d love to look at it online if possible 👍🏼

    Rosanne, I was finding it hard to find a garden I liked, and yours is stunning! I love it.
    And I love the touch of the turtle stepping stone 💚
    Thank you also for sharing your garden design. I cannot find many online and I am in the process of designing my garden in the UK.

    You don’t happen to have a video of how you made the stone bench at the end of the video, do you?

    Thank you 🙂

    I am new to your channel and I LOVE YOUR LANDSCAPE ❤️❤️❤️. Did I miss where your hardiness zone is?? Your gardens are so fun and interesting. I love your choice of plants and trees. Would love to watch a video you did to describe the trees Etc.



  15. elizzievb on March 22, 2022 at 5:46 pm

    Wow! I am always so enthralled with your garden and this video is such a great showpiece. I am not sure how I missed seeing the bench before. A tour de force indeed! Kudos to Husband for his skill and hard work. Wish I had the same luck with the Irish moss – not yet but I keep trying in Oregon zone 7. Thank you for this video Rosanne! ❤️🌹



  16. Allyson H on March 22, 2022 at 5:48 pm

    Roseanne, your garden is simply magical. Can’t wait to see if my "Roseanne’s calla lilies" I planted in your honor come up next year. Was unable to dig them up. 🤞 Thanks for sharing

    I love your different of the stones and path I am always looking for yards of bricks or rocks people don’t want and I give them a new home



  29. Linda Lagarce on March 22, 2022 at 6:11 pm

    Great ideas! I have a narrow walkway that leads to my back yard or my rose garden and this really gives me good ideas. Love the moss idea between the stones too. Bugs and love from Texas, zone 8



  30. Martini Chip on March 22, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    This is inspiring. Your husband did impressive work! I am trying to figure out hardscaping a thin area between our house and a 6 ft fence. It’s a thin area and the previous owner had covered the ground with wood mulch. It’s now getting muddy and needs a better solution. Thank you for the ideas and insight on how you did your areas. I’d be interested in seeing more DIY hardscape videos.



  31. Levans on March 22, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    how beautiful !



  32. Lula Johns on March 22, 2022 at 6:16 pm

    I love that bench!



  41. Our Life Edited on March 22, 2022 at 6:29 pm

    I commonly see shade-loving hostas next to sun-loving tulips or evergreens. Both seem to be thriving, what am I missing? Thank you!



  42. T Wilde on March 22, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    Very lovely! Thank you for sharing.



  43. Barbara Cole on March 22, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    If I could, I would give you 2 thumbs up. I have 1 1/2 acres out of the 2 acres to design and landscape. I don’t have any large trees. I find it hard as the driveway is in the back of the house. Thank you for the inspiration. I really love the turtle.



  48. Henri Calitri on March 22, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    What a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing how to do the stone turtle!!!



  49. Lynnette G on March 22, 2022 at 6:37 pm
