Your video is the next best thing to a private tour with Rafael. It’s the best place (with the BEST hosts) for events. And Ohhhh, the food! The new pavilion looks like such a great venue, can’t wait to attend something there. I just saw it for the first time yesterday afternoon, when I popped in for a minute. The skies were so amazing.
Janey thank you for this video. One gardener recognizes the open heart of another. Raphael is one of those rare gardeners…to be around him is just as healing as being in his magnificent gardens. What a true gem he is.
Absolutely, I want a Park Winters pop-up in May. Park Winters is my haven for botanical photography, it is a magical place. I met Rafael out on the street when I was driving by taking photos on the perimeter of the property one July morning several years ago. He invited me in to take photos of the cut flower garden. Rafael, being the gracious person he is, has allows the grounds to be my creative place. I think it would be wonderful for others to come for the experience and to meet Rafael, John, and farmer Ryan. Thank you and Rafael for the impromptu garden tour.
I like that he purchased those daffodils from Walmart on clearance 😂😂 That is so awesome! Little gems like that make it possible for us low budget gardeners. 😊
Gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, amazing....all the words! Ohmygoodness, thank you so much. What a place to garden. Rafael is so inspirational. This is his life's work. He has undoubtedly touched so many lives. ❤❤❤❤
You’ve quickly become one of my most favorite celebrity gardeners Janey! Even though we don’t garden in the same zone I still want to see what you’ve got going on, especially since you moved to your new place. It’s so fun for me (and inspiring) to see your garden being developed, especially with the help of a talented garden designer like Michael Glassman! I love that you’re a master gardener and I almost always learn something from you and your guests and I’ve been gardening for 35 years!!!
All I’m going to say is park winters is heaven on earth! The only thing I was disappointed with was Rafael’s angel wings didn’t show up on your video!! 😂😂 Thanks for taking us on the tour!
Oh my!!! I 100% can relate to the seed collecting being right up there with popping pimples. 😂😂😂 I’ve been collecting seeds most of my gardening life because I’ve been a poor gardener. OBSESSED!!! What an amazing place. Thank you all for sharing.
When you and Rafael spoke and toured his garden, I got the most feeling of peace came upon me! Thank you for all you do in making our lives more meaningful, and we can duplicate what you teach us for our own gardens!
I enjoyed this so much! I did not want Rafael to stop talking. Now I’m planning a road trip to visit from SoCal!! Janey please share Cardoon seeds (Johnny’s won’t ship it to CA :()
O ... M ... G !!!!! what a wonderful gardening friend you have in Rafael. Such a wealth of knowledge and creativity and inspiration. Please thank him from me for taking us on a tour of his amazing property and sharing it all with us. Everyone has their passion, their "lot" in life - for me it's gardening and all the amazing friends I've made along the way. They, for me, are the best people ever !!!
It’s a cheesy saying you see on garden plaques, but it’s absolutely a true statement. Time began in a garden. When God created man and woman, He placed them in the garden and gave them the responsibility of keeping it. Gardening is where we can experience and recreate the beauty that He wanted for us from the beginning. ❤️😊
I live in Vacaville, my bestie and I will definately be at all 3 events. Will you be at the Gridley Ace Hardware one as well? I found some books for your collection I would like to give to you
OK, so first of all, I have that Feesia flower growing through our rock bed in front of our house. I had no idea what it was! I kept asking my neighbors, and nobody knew. Now I do, so thank you!!! Secondly, it is so fun to watch Rafael and how much he treasures the gardens and sharing it with others. Thank you for sharing this tour with us. I will have to make a trip to see it in person. Hopefully, we can get our hands on some tickets for the Pop-up!
Thank You Janey! Cardoons, ? Thyme, Magnolia, Passion Flowers, Pool, I-Beam Fire, Glimpse of your beautiful Assistant, The Barn!!! Two small tokens of my appreciation..Comfrey is a wonderful antidote for my clay soil and disposable (I re-use) surgical gloves underneath my gardening gloves eliminates the dirt under my nails and simultaneously renews my skin! 😂
I'm in LOVE with Park Winters and Rafael. I visited this place when John and Rafael 1st purchased this place and started holding weddings. I'm amazed at how far the park has come. Rafael and John are amazing spirts and have built an amazing place.
Rafael has just inspired me to plant some freesia corms this spring. They will be annuals for me (old zone 5b, new zone 6a), but I have fallen in love with their colors. Thanks for taking us on this awesome garden tour, Janey!
What a wonderful guy, he is so much fun, and what a throwback...Jethro Tull. I remember when you and Jason went there for dinner how ever long ago that was. Those boxwood hedges over by the magnolia have gotten so tall. Our local Walmart had a magnolia stellata in a huge brick planter. When covid came to town, they removed everything, even all the brick, all benches too. I SO wish I had seen it happening, I would have savaged so much of it. I buy Walmart bulbs when they go $1 a bag. Your pop up sounds like so much fun, I bet you sell out in no time.
Rafael is wonderful and he has a great camera presence. I’d love to see him to a video of how he gets the cuttings acclimated in the 1GA pots. Maybe a future video???? ❤
Oh…this property is stunning! I enjoyed this so much. And they share recipes on their website! From the Park Winters website: We may think we are nurturing the garden, but really, the garden is nurturing us- Rafael Galiano
Gardening connected me with hard work = beauty and success. Behind it was the year I was seven. Mom planted zinnias along the front walkway. My mind was amazed at the flowers, yes. But more that my Mom could do that! Now I’m doing it for her. One season at a time. Encouraging her to look forward to the beauty in life.
I usually listen to more than watch TH-cam videos. However, yours are the exception. I always have to stop what I'm doing and watch yours because of all the beauty in them. Whether it's the bunnies or a garden tour like this, your videos are always a must see. Thanks for the behind the scenes tour. It was very interesting and your music choice was perfect!
What a wonderful tour, Janey. Rafael is the best kind of gardening friend, so ready to share information and plants, and their property is stunning! I still remember the amazing dried flower Christmas tree he shared on your Christmas tree video too.
Yes, yes, yes Janey!! We desperately need Proven Winners here on the west coast!! I am in San Clemente, California and have been asking all the nurseries around here and no one has them except Lowe’s in a very chance moment. My passion is gardening and of course I want the very best proven winner plants ! Keep pushing it girl!! We need you!!!
I am left speechless, the beauty and the thought of every section of each garden. It's just stunning. I literally cannot find words to describe this wonderful place. I do not live anywhere near Park Winter. You're over a 1000 miles away from me. But next year I'm going with my sister. We are going to make a trip. I just love every aspect of it. Every every detail of it. Thank you for this impromptu video.❤❤
Rafael's musings and takes on ... everything... is a hoot and he reminds me of one of my cousins!❤ The Arti seed gleaning reminiscent of pimple popping😅. Two of my 4 sisters love to do that (ICK!). I have a beautiful 20 year old 'Susan, Magnolia Stellata. She's dark PINK on the North side of the house and some of her furry buds are just showing color! Here in Zone 6 Paris suburbs, they're the go to Magnolias. I love Podocarpus, had it in SoCal where I grew up. An easy, beautiful shrub/tree. I'll have to see if it will grow here. Anyway, thx for the Rafael Tour, he's my kind of person 😂.
I'm so tempted to sign up for chip drop! I'm just worried that my driveway and neighborhood is too small if it were to be a big load of chips. But also free chips??? Ugh Also pretty sure my partner would kill me 😅😂
Oh my, what a gorgeous place! That was so fun, especially because we still have a month or more til things begin to fill in here. Definitely do some freezia bulbs next year. They multiply and smell so good.
My wife and I live nearby and booked our wedding there 2 years ago in March. We ended up not getting married there due to shrinking our guest numbers and to try and save some money (even though their prices are very competitive for what you get). But we were both captivated by its beauty and attention to detail in every aspect of the property. Such a cool place and would recommend at least a visit for an event or garden tour if you live close.
Beautiful tour! I live on east coast in Delaware my dream is to visit Park Winters and stay at Bed and Breakfast ❤ thank you Janey really enjoyed your video.
I love this man.
OMG. Rafael is amazing. Thank you Janey for taking us with you. Such an endearing man.
Your video is the next best thing to a private tour with Rafael. It’s

Janey thank you for this video. One gardener recognizes the open heart of another. Raphael is one of those rare gardeners…to be around him is just as healing as being in his magnificent gardens. What a true gem he is.
Thanks for video but I do have a question … it’s very very important… what happened with the toads 🐸 😂
Lol 😂 … very, very important!!
😂😂😂😂
LOL! Maybe they will make it into the next fairy story
I love your very very important question about the toads! 🤣🇨🇦
It’s a great question, I was wondering the same thing. I’m so happy they didn’t get, well you know….by the auger! 🇨🇦❄️🇨🇦
Wow, amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely, I want a Park Winters pop-up in May. Park Winters is my haven for botanical photography, it is a magical place.

Freesias are one of easiest bulbs to grow, my favorite for fragrance. ❤️
I like that he purchased those daffodils from Walmart on clearance 😂😂 That is so awesome! Little gems like that make it possible for us low budget gardeners. 😊
What an absolutely beautiful video. Thank you!
Such a wonderful tour. He’s a fabulous gardener
Why are Artichokes so generous??? Because they have big hearts 🥰 ❤
I enjoyed watching him - Rafeal is sooo inspiring with his gardens.
Winters is my backyard so I would be there with bells on!
Gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, amazing....all the words! Ohmygoodness, thank you so much. What a place to garden. Rafael is so inspirational. This is his life's work. He has undoubtedly touched so many lives. ❤❤❤❤
This was a wonderful tour. I think Aaron from Garden Answer should consult with this man for his compost project!
No kidding! A missed opportunity for Garden answer.
I thought the same thing!
Park Winters is amazing!

Janey, I can't believe you went without Robbie. Isn't this his drean plan. Now i need to make a list of all those plants to add to my garden.
What a wonderful man.If you are his friend you are truly blessed.
Rafael is amazing.
Wow, that was a magical place, it seems so calm and serene there….very beautiful.
When you and Rafael spoke and toured his garden, I got the most feeling of peace came upon me! Thank you for all you do in making our lives more meaningful, and we can duplicate what you teach us for our own gardens!
I just loved this video. What a place. It would be a dream to work there or just go.
Best interview ever-“popping pimples” and the chicken eating his flower art 😂
What a charming gentleman & gorgeous property!
This place is incredible. It’s so manicured and beautiful. Very interesting tour. Thank you!
I enjoyed this so much! I did not want Rafael to stop talking. Now I’m planning a road trip to visit from SoCal!! Janey please share Cardoon seeds (Johnny’s won’t ship it to CA :()

I LOVED hearing everything Rafael had to say, what an inspiration!! Thanks for taking us along 💚
This place feels so soothing, calm and beautiful to walk through. Where is it located?
What a beautiful, interesting man. I would LOVE to hear how gardening saved his life!
Thank you so very much for sharing Rafael’s garden! He’s so inspiring and I love his and your energy!
He is very smart, and very aware of how important it is to be centered and grounded. He strikes me as someone who appreciates happiness!
Thank you so much...I learn so much from you.

Janey, great video. Please let us know what those "pokey" things are. They are awesome.
That place is beautiful!
😍😍🥰🥰 those gardens are so beautiful.
What a dreamy tour! I love him and his place!

I have no words. Park Winters is truly heaven on earth - and Rafael is a gem and good man.
Janeys
excitement and enthusiasm when she discovers a new idea for her garden is infectious
What I like is that you are such a lifelong learner…everywhere you go and everyone you encounter…
He is sooo sweet and knowledgeable! Such a beautiful place 😍 Thank you for sharing this great video! 😊
I drove 5 hrs 2 years ago just to buy PW plants!! The thing we gardeners do! Amazing garden!!
I am flying to California from Missouri to see you in Gridley. My sister lives in Gridley and I am from Oroville. I can't wait for the Gridley event!
oh my goodness how fun Bonnie! See you there!
I'm in LOVE with Park Winters and Rafael. I visited this place when John and Rafael 1st purchased this place and started holding weddings. I'm amazed at how far the park has come. Rafael and John are amazing spirts and have built an amazing place.

Thanks Janie for taking us on a tour of Park Winters…so beautiful!!! ❤
What a beautiful tour and love the background music. It added to the magic of the tour, would love to see another tour through different seasons!
This was one of my favorite videos. How beautiful and the love and passion he has for gardening were palpable. I couldn’t have enjoyed it more.❤
Fabulous. I love my iceberg roses. It seems they bloom almost year around in Depoe Bay, OR
What an extraordinary treat seeing this beautiful garden! Thank you!! I need to make a road trip to CA.
That was so enjoyable and interesting, thank you
Amazing, here in Germany it is still Winter.Raphael is very entertaining. 🙋♀️🌷🌷🌷🌿
Rafael Put so much thought into his gardens through sensory: touch, see, smell. Just amazing!!❤❤
Love him!
More Rafael tours please!!
I love all your videos but this one was so much more with lots of knowledge and inspiration. Thanks for sharing Rafael.
The passionflowers and carpenter bees is an excellent example of the power of planting native plants.
Love this fabulous tour thank you so much for taking us along❤
Rafael's musings and takes on ... everything... is a hoot and he reminds me of one of my cousins!❤

We finally have a nursery that carries Proven Winners. I stopped by last weekend and they were 20% off and I filled the back of my Ford Expedition.
I'm so tempted to sign up for chip drop! I'm just worried that my driveway and neighborhood is too small if it were to be a big load of chips. But also free chips??? Ugh
Also pretty sure my partner would kill me 😅😂
I learned a lot about plants fr this video. Thanks for sharing
Weeding and picking seeds is so therapeutic for me too 🤭🤭
Oh my, what a gorgeous place! That was so fun, especially because we still have a month or more til things begin to fill in here. Definitely do some freezia bulbs next year. They multiply and smell so good.
Wonderful 😊
