- WELCOME BACK! To my Garden Channel! While I'm waiting for my garden to fill in this summer I thought I'd share our Before and After Garden Story about how this garden was made.
It's been an amazing process building this garden and every year it seems we love it even more. I hope it inspires you to grow something green! Even if it means just 1 herb in a pot on a balcony, gardening will improve your quality of life in so many beautiful and unexpected ways. Enjoy!

"I'm gonna haunt this place" 🤣🤣🤣 great garden
This garden is spectacular, an absolute Eden!
It's a happy little place :) So glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful transformation on ur “steal” of a property!!! ✨♥️✨
I love the way that you aimed big from day one - make no small plans!
Please post more! Your videos are really good quality, and due to the virus, we all have more time at home!
Love love love your smile, attitude and sheer joy in gardening ‼️😁
Wow. Watching your video again and again. Encouraged by your story. You made your own garden Paradise out of nothing. congratulations!!
Wonderful story! I started a similar project in an overgrown corner lot with an arts and crafts home that was swallowed by the former owner's "naturalized" yard. Logging the diseased and dying pine forest for healtier cedars and firs and spruce we began the hardscaping.Stacked stone walls, arborvitae hedges, pergola over the patio, the "Hobbit" fence and gate, perennial beds overflowing with a joyfulness, the climbing rose wall of fragrance, shade garden under the magnolia tree, garden rooms that renew us an make us long for home whenever we are away. And a vegetable garden that nutures us. 19 yrs later we don't recognize the original place. Every part of it we built ourselves. 🌻👵👴🌻😊😊
What a beautiful story where the garden is the star!
I can't tell you how much I love this video!!! Especially the "I'm building grandma's house" part..... Because this is exactly what I'm in the process of doing too!!😊💕
Ha! I know isn't that funny? I have a feeling I'm going to be the crazy ol' granny out there talking to the birds and my tomatoes LOL! :) Nothing like putting down roots!
This woman is a genius. I am great with interior design but landscaping is something else entirely. Her vision and talent is amazing.
OMG this is absolutely amazing! My parents are crazy about their garden. Now they've been owning their own house garden for three years, but before that, for almost twenty years, they've had a summer garden in the city suburban area (very East European thing in my opinion, a bunch of land divided into small squares so for people living in apartment buildings can have their own piece of land). It's always been fascinating for me to observe plants, fruit, vegetables growing and expanding and I'm really glad my parents have their own land again, and this time - forever! :)
What a transformation!!! And what amazing planning and thoughtfulness you put into it! I'm so impressed!!! You daughters are precious....no doubt there are many life lessons learned in that garden!!! Your talents never cease to amaze me!!
This is the most amazing garden I have ever seen. It's sooooo gorgeous!!!! Both you and your husband are incredibly creative and hands on. I wish I have a husband like yours who can build walls, carpentry, and designs. You both work well together to turn this normal house and a big piece of land into something so beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰
We need channels like yours in these times, especially since so many of us have started gardening in our free time. Please upload more videos for us!
Yes! I agree! Shooting another video today loaded with a bunch more tips it should post on Sat! See you then! :)
Your happiness in gardening really shines through. The color of those tomatoes is amazing!!!
Awww thanks yes it’s really amazing how fantastic the tomatoes become when you let them vine ripen to perfection! 👌Mother Nature knows best! Ha!
Yay!
I told myself earlier this year, this will be the year I get my balcony garden together.
Yes! The time is right! You still have a long growing season left! Nothing like fresh herbs and tomatoes to help you enjoy the summer flavors! :)
What a wonderful story, I was fortunate to visit the same castle in France almost 10 years ago and it is truly magnificent. You did fantastic job recreating the same spirit in your garden. I live in central Canada with temperatures dropping to minutes 40 degrees Celsius during winter, so our gardens are quite limited here. Love your channel and cooked many of your dishes. You are very inspirational and gifted teacher.
What a wonderful story! Your garden is beautiful and having a dining area there is so French and Mediterranean. Can imaging the delicious food and incredible parties held there. Thank you so much for such an inspiring story.
You're a sunbeam, Beth! You bring joy, and warmth and cheer when it's grey and cold outside.
I absolutely love your garden and the progress. You are a visionary and an inspiration.
Stunning!
My grandmother had a large garden and many, many flower beds around their property. It truly made visiting her as a child, a magical experience to explore and admire all the flowers and plants. What a beautiful “grandmother’s house” you will have someday! And what a blessing to your family now!
Beth I just love how you take us on the journey with you and make it nearly like we’re old friends coming over for a cup of tea. Thank you! I’ve been watching your videos since you started and my girls use to watch them with me. Now they are grown adults starting their own families ♥️
Oh myyy god!!!!!! I was just thinking that I would LOVE this channel to be back... so I came here and I saw a new video! I’m literally crying of happiness. I remember years ago watching this channel and it brought me so many good mamories and I’m just so happy you are back Beth! Please keep it up! I LOVE this channel and I enjoy your content. Thank you for bringing me back to life! 😭😭😭😭😭👩🏻🌾
WOW, this is a beautiful garden! I thought it looked somehow French (we spent our honeymoon there, LOL). I want to see SO MUCH MORE from your channel, I loved every single video you posted so far! You're very nice to listen to, I like the way you film/the quality of your videos and can't wait to see more of your garden! Love, Sarah
wow, your garden is amazing, what an inspiration!
Heaven!
This is spectacular. You did such an amazing job with the house and the garden. Hands down, Beth!
Ah, Beth! Your garden is a marvel! Thank you for sharing this story. I've said it before, that I now await your garden book,
just think of all those gorgeous colour photos!!!
Wow, that's a beautiful garden. You did a great job!
Aww thanks so glad you enjoyed it!
So glad California is green again. Beautiful terrific inspirational garden.
Building grandmother's house...love it. I'm doing this too! ♡♡◇
I’ve got to say (a) you guys have SOLVED everyone’s issue with fence height restrictions in the city! I mean, the city doesn’t have any codes about growing plants on trellises in your yard!!! Fantastic!! (b) You played the long game and won. (c) I would have loved to have seen you incorporate rain barrels with gravity fed irrigation to some of your plants. Maybe it doesn’t rain in SoCal 😬 I don’t know, honestly!
Good job. It’s my dream property - small house on a larger plot of land.
I cant believe how amazing those ficus plants are. and how huge and fast they grow.
What a charming and lovely story! You can be so proud of what you have accomplished, Beth! Xo 🌸☀️
This story made me tear up. What an amazing journey!
I stumbled on your channel and I am loving your garden and the story behind it. It’s so beautiful and inspiring me to keep going with my dream to have one like it. I’m not an expert and I don’t have a developed green thumb but I love nature and I’m learning to be patient and growing my own seedlings, so far it’s been rewarding. Beth please continue doing your wonderful videos they are so helpful and inspiring!!!
So pretty. Isn't it wonderful when a dream or an idea comes to fruition. This garden could really be set in Europe somewhere you've really evoked that feeling of a European garden . I've only been working on mine for 5 years now. I have a vision.
Awww thank you 🙏 it all starts with a little dream a feeling and if you just keep adding to it you’ll be amazed at what you can end up with one day!
I wish I could "like" this more than once. I love it!!
Best story ever! Thanks for sharing. My husband always speak of starting a garden and I cringe at the thought because I pictured, a long traditional southern country garden with rows of dirt that went on forever. I never envisioned a beautiful French garden like your vision. But now I have my vision. While I don’t think I will ever visit France but thanks you I feel like I had a mini trip through your eyes and now truly inspired!!! 😇
How inspiring!! I loved seeing the 'before' then being able to see how far your garden has grown. Thank you so much for sharing!
You - your father - your family have been a great inspiration to me!!!
It's all built with love. 💕
Exactly what I wanted -- before & after! BEAUTIFUL!
So glad you enjoyed it! It was even fun for my husband and I to watch and and relive it all. After 10 years we forgot how much it has changed! 🙌🥰
Oh Beth... I’m crying. This video was worth the wait and this is going to be a weird comment but I really really appreciate you. Thanks for showing us this part of your life and your family and the story of how your garden came to be, and while I already knew you were such a nurturing, patient, and loving person, but this video makes me and to give you a big hug right now and I would love to hang out in your garden. I admire you took an idea and turned it into reality. Its super humbling to see you take something that ppl scoffed at and was unwanted and turned it into something so uniquely loving. I can really feel how all your love and hard work has shaped your garden and in your cooking, and TH-cam channel. Also, can you be my grandma??? Or godmother???
Amazing work. Wish the French gardens were more popular in the PNW and that level of sophistication
yay i’ve been waiting for the return of this chanel since FOREVER AGO

Just beautiful! Your neighbors are very lucky that you came and turned that home into something beautiful and magical.
I love your gentle nature, Beth! Beautiful garden! Love your channel! 🌱🌺🌱
Aww thanks for that :) . I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Dream garden for sure!! It looks amazing, Beth!
Soso pleased to see this channel back in action! I’ve missed these videos
Your garden is amazing, you are an inspiration! We are just buying a small house and garden and I will try to incorporate your ideas. I love your chanel ❤❤❤❤
Me too
Thanks for sharing the evolution of your yard, Beth. It is a great example of how dreams can become reality if you put your time and resources into making it happen. #calltoaction
Hey
I missed ur gardening videos..so happy that u finally uploaded.you are an inspiration Beth. Lots of love ❤️
Aww thanks Tanya :) . I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm so looking forward to sharing more gardening videos this summer! :)
I love your story, we've been growing a lot of our vegetables for 20 years, we have 8 vegetable garden beds. It's sad to me to hear that people were negative about you building your own vegetable garden because I've done it for half of my life and I don't know different. I guess that's what people from the city think, I've been in the country my whole adult life and I can't imagine not having a garden in the summer time. Good job 👏🏻 ❤️
I was just smiling throughout the entire video☺️. What a beautiful creation. Thank you for sharing the evolution of your home and family.
You have such a beautiful story about your lovely garden. Great job. And your right, it will continue to evolve. Tfs. 👏🏼
Love your beautiful garden Beth, it really shows that you and your husband put a lot of love and hard work into it. Your daughters are growing up so fast ❤
Please come back!
Hi Beth,
I like the story behind your garden. It looks majestic like the orininal french vegetable garden. It looks charming and inviting.
I found this so inspiring. What a beautiful story of love and patience. And what stunning results!
I’m super obsessed with your garden. What an inspiration!
Beth, I don’t even garden but I am subscribed anyway because I am a fan of you! I loved this story of creating something “ugly” (to others at least) and creating it into something you and your husband envisioned for yourselves.
Live your garden space!
This is my favorite video you’ve ever done on either channel both! How about one on how you guys transformed your home?? We are almost four years into our own journey that sounds very similar to yours! ❤️
Fabulous garden Beth! Next time would you give us a house tour?
P.S. I enjoy watching your cooking videos, you make it look so easy!
So glad you enjoy the videos! Yes there will be a little Before/After Kitchen Story on my food channel this summer. The kitchen of this house was also kinda a mess LOL! And I'll show you how we "prettied that up" too! Stay tuned! :)
Wow, what a transformation! I love formal gardens. Your garden is so beautiful.
Not only a beautiful garden but practical. Don't tell anyone but I'm going to pinch your ideas with a few tweeks for the UK climate. Best wishes. 🌷
A slice of France in the USA! Your garden is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Canada. Mayfield Manor
Every sentence starts WE so nice 👍🏻
Amazingly beautiful garden 👍🏻
Well Beth I think you have the best design style, hard work & a vision is key!! I love what you do & that you grow so many veges!! I'm from Victoria in Australia & I'm copying you!
Your garden is magical and you have such talent and perserverance. I love watching your videos. Thank you
Very touching chronicle of the house and your family! Truly inspiring!! ❤️
Fantastic. As a new vege gardener I know how hard it is to start but you have given me much inspiration. Many thanks. Namaste😊
Aww I’m so happy to hear that! Keep going! The pay off is big 🙏😘
I am so glad you are back with the garden videos. Your first videos inspired me so much that I have tried to recreate a similar space in my own garden. I now have a lovely fenced vegetable garden and have just started to espalier my citrus trees against the fence. Thanks for the inspiration Beth!
love it, hope I can have something like this when I buy my house ❤
Beth, your garden is so beautiful! Have you ever considered growing flowers such as roses or peonies? I noticed that your garden is mostly vegetables.
Wow Wow Wow! I love it. It's beautiful so striking. I can't believe the before and after, its like night and day, fantastic!
Stunning. You are truly blessed. You have also made me think more about what i would like for my garden. Thank you Beth! Please make more gardening videos, especially about herbs and cooking.❤
So beautiful and one of the best styles to copy.... just love this style of Iiving in the garden so Mediterranean 😍
What a wonderful, life-affirming story... thank you.
SO jealous!!! Stunning!! My dream garden! You have inspired me! ❤️
This video is inspiring!
I’m interested in learning how
you got your fruit trees to grow
sideways. Your garden is amazing!
You inspired me and I put my French garden together and it my second year and love it . I wish I did it when my kids was little.
This is such a beautifully executed concept, amazing use of the outdoor space.
Everyone want a big house and forget to enjoy the great outdoors.
Wow. I adore what you've done with your garden! Please post more videos!!
We need the next video! ;) More More More!!!!!!
So pretty. Sometimes I look at my backyard. And I am like this is boring. But out of something boring you made it look so beautiful. You just need to have an idea and make it look different.
OMG you have a lovely garden！I love it！
So glad it came to my recommendations today, the most beautiful, charming video I've seen all day!
Aww thank you! :). I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'll be uploading more videos soon! :)
Please post more about you garden! Watched this lovely video several times!
Aww thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! I'm shooting an update video today and will be more active on this channel soon! :)
@@InBethsGarden So excited! Can't wait!
An impressive garden. I love the layout 🌻❤️
Your garden is heaven!
So happy to have you back!
Just lovely. You are a genius. Wow, how I wish a could create something half as lovely as that. I love gardening and now that I have retired I have more time to devote to it; but I live in a land that is not kind to green gardening 👩🏾🌾 🥹 Nevada is so darn HOT! But I try anyway and get inspiration from looking at others beautiful creations. Thanks for sharing that beautiful story.💕
This is such a wonderful story..and beautiful too! Great job Beth💟
Absolutely beautiful. I have seriously found my dream garden. This is exactly what I’ve wanted to create in my own yard. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all.
I love before and after videos! LOTS of great ideas, and great explanations of why you chose to do or use certain things.
I always considered parterres as purely decorative/ aesthetic like the ones in French chateaux, but partnering it with sustainability takes it to the next level!
At first I read “partners”, and was like, “yes..she feels just like me”.
So warm and welcoming! Beautiful!
