the raccoon is probably my favorite part 😭
Hahaha mine too
I wonder if some of the cherries had fermented 😊
Admittedly I know so little about gardening that I can't tell a carnation from a cactus, but I do recognize something beautiful when I see it, and your transformed balcony is certainly that! One word: stunning!😊
Thanks so much Bob! I really appreciate that ☺️
You can dry the mint and save it for tea in the cold months. And drink it fresh too of course. Your plant stand was a great addition!
So lovely! Gardening and art go hand in hand. The racoon was a delight as well.
Brooke this was so satisfying and calming to watch! Can’t wait for the workshop/studio tour one day with all crazy power tools
You're an artist inside and out! Great job! And that raccoon was an absolute HOOT! Maybe I can borrow your hawk - the red squirrels here are totally out of control, eating all my bird seed from the bird feeder! I love the pale yellow coreopsis (tickseed) and I've never heard of mono lavender. Looks intriguing! Good job on the carpentry, girl. Yay, a woman with power tools! Thanks for the lovely tour! The birds and the bees (and the flowers and the trees) are all happy!
OMD!!! I love that racoon and but YOUR GARDEN!!! gorgeous. Your hard work paid off.
Thank you 🙏💛💛
Yay! More garden stuff!
YAYYYY
Love this! Empowering 🥳 and love how you talk about pollinators visiting the garden. This was fun to watch. 💛
Thanks so much! I love the pollinators, they make me so happy 🥹
Very nice balcony garden, some of the plants I got in my garden, even the same kind of butterfly. I shall begin making videos and show my garden too, its outside my art studio.
Wonderful! More gardening videos!
Your garden looks gorgeous and it's making me look at my own balcony plants...they are whispering neglect as I am watching your video lol. Thank you so much for including the footage of the racoon...it made me laugh so good!
Thank you so much! I know, I was trying so hard not to laugh when I was watching it struggle hahaha
So, you go from capturing nature on canvas to your "Gaia" style. Every year you rebuild your space, you also design and do carpentry. Multiple talents, my appreciation for that. By the way, during these dates here in Mexico, you can see large purple expanses of cosmos, a beautiful spectacle. Great video! I just didn't see the raccoon's name in the final credits, hehehe
Haha thanks a lot Mauricio, I appreciate the support! 🙏
Love it all! The racoon was so funny, but then you got to poppin, and I really broke up. 😂 You did a fabulous job at everything. Keep on having fun ❤
Haha thank you so much! I appreciate that 🤗
The garden looks beautiful! And that raccoon footage, omg my heart was a puddle 😍
Hahah it was so fun to edit the raccoon segment 😂
The garden is beautiful, but you girl, you should be what we find in Oxford Dictionary looking for the word adorable. 🌸
Mrs. Greenthumb, you're one of my favorite humans. Beautiful work. Milkweeds are great for splash of lifecycle. Also, and no judgement at all, that one there is often referred to as a miter saw...just so ya show em the business when yall decide to build your house. ☺Great for precision angle-cutting. Keep up the dreamin. It's inspiring to see.
...and now that i'm rememberin your love of mushrooms, Elm Oysters are brilliant soil additions.
I've never seen coco liners, that's so cool! 😮 I'm always looking to avoid plastic, that's perfect.
Love your content, and your garden, and your art, and your personality, keep being you 🤩
Brooke I LOVE your videos - they are so fun and inspiring to watch!!! ❤ You are one of my FAVORITE all time artists ever and I’m saving up so one day I can give one of your beautiful pieces a home…
I am a mom to a toddler and a baby and they both LOVE the outdoors and I really would love to start a garden with them! I would love to know if you have any resources or recommendations on how to start a gardening journey!
Gorgeous, my dear! Great job! ❤
Thank you so much! 💛
I also have a mint that keeps coming back, and I've just been freezing huge chunks of it in a bag so I can pop it into drinks whenever the mood strikes me. Fresh mint year round hooray!
Ohhh that’s such a good idea! I’m gonna freeze it next year 🙏
The garden tour of my dreeeeams! Dying to know what the mint was used for if not mojitos ..
Very cool.
Thank you! 🙏
10:00 You’re adorable 🥲
Gorgeous garden, your artistic sensibilities really show. Really, great work!!!! I’m jealous of your know-how, I suppose I’ll just need to continue religiously watching your videos til the end of time.
Hope your perennials come back. Pretty pretty 🌸🩷
Awe thanks so much Erin!! I really appreciate it 🫶
What an incredible transformation, I love it ☺☺
Thanks so much Chantelle! 🤗
Great job Brooke. Looks beautiful. The raccoon was gorgeously funny (-: Marion 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Marion!! 🤗
So serene...the perfect place to relax.
I'm using mint to kill the weeds 😁 Its also something the horses can eat.
Ohhh I didn't know mint could be used to kill weeds! Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching! :)
Amazing garden this yr! Gonna be using some of those plants soon I think.
Thanks Bryan! And yes please do, I was really happy with the selection this year 🙏
Dang Brooke! I am impressed with your skills! I learned so much from you today. Thanks for sharing.💗
Thanks so much for watching! 🤗
Well done Mrs. McGyver!
🤗🙏
Yes! I have been hoping for this one since the one you made last year 🌻
That makes me so happy to read 🥹 I wanna make one every year!
I cant believe you got such personal shot of that lil guy 😂😂 in new zealand we dont have those and I feel like its wrong to wish we did so bad. 10/10
Hahah they are considered pests here by most people… but they are pretty cute 😂
It turned out amazing! We loved your video :)
you're literally my favorite female youtuber
love how you look on cam.... but you prank a lot lol! ...i remember video you making jewlery ❤
I would be so happy 2 have such a space in my apartment, you are so lucky!
I got some similar space but it's a hot sunny side so only succulents can survive
Yes I’m lucky to have both sun and shade so I have a lot of plant variety to work with 🙌
Love your garden and wish I had the discipline to keep mine at that level! My favorite plant that I have is my fern leaf Japanese maple. Two of my friends and I spent like an hour digging the whole for it 4 yrs ago. Its leaves come in bright yellow green and then turn a bright red as summer hits. It’s small (maybe 6 ft) but it’s grown a lot this past year and is starting to get some width.
Ohhh I love Japanese maples!! So nice to watch it grow 🤗
You did a great job
Thank you! 🙏
Love your garden. My favorite are my Mexican petunias
Thank you! And ouu I love deadheading petunias hehe
If you get hummingbirds in your area, give Salvia Amistad a try next year. It gets large. Love and Wishes Salvia is also a pretty plant and doesn’t get nearly as large.
Ouu thanks so much for the suggestions! I’ll look into it! 😊
Very funny and informative too
Thank you! 🙏
Looks great! I would like to have more plant-life on my apartment patio....instead of the dangerous pile of scrap wood and metal storage area it is now. One day.
You should do it! It’s so worth it 🙌
Awesome transformation. I would be interested to hear how your perennials do if you leave them there overwinter. What zone are you?
Love this. Your videos are such a vibe!
Thank youuuu! 🙏
Fall and winter crops? Next?😊 Ann, Florida fan
I'm afraid I won't be doing any winter gardening here in Toronto! haha
I love it ... thanx
Thanks for watching!
🎉Great video🎉
Thanks so much! 🙏
THE RACCOON HAHA
Love your videos🙃
Thank you so much! 🫶
Hello Brooke,
If I was one plant in your garden, based upon my content creation & recent Art output, would I be the Dwarf Perennial Sage or the Cosmos?
Tee-hee-hee x garden is delightful x the projects are my kind of practical fantasy x FOCUS is growing
Thanks for inspiring some competitive conceptual planting. I smoke mint until the neighbours complain, then I invite them over for mint flavoured tea.
Haha thank you for watching and happy creating! 🤗
❤
Came from "Studio tingz🎨" ❤ ...😉 👉👉💥 See you next time ... Hahah
Yesssss!! You’re a real one 🏆
Thanks for watching!
Most welcome @@b.cormier 😁🏆
our garden lol if i call it as one has lemon tree, is my favorite and the thing is people dont leave any for us or ask us before plucking them, gotta say though your plants are stolen by squirrels and ours by humans what a reversing order
😊
Al lys him? I hardly know him!! :)
🤣🤣
maybe toronto aint so bad
Come visit meeeeee
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dude, be a youtuber full time and make art your passion
I’m tryna do both 🥲
@@b.cormier Oh, I know, its... I'm trying to say that making videos is a hard thing to do, and you are doing this right, must of us don't, and you have a style, and all the lil details you capture, so, you may capture your art creations like the garden, and sell them if you like, they are really expensive if you are curious, anyway, I'm not an art collector, but, you are in advantage of many things, even if you don't like to read it, yes, being pretty is an advantage and attracts and makes people click, keep up the good videos!
is that your racoon for real?
He’s the friendly neighborhood raccoon hahah
Beautiful 🪷🪷🪷
I have a huge deck
I bought ONE pot to plant something… I chose Orange California Poppies… they died after a few weeks…. And that was the end of my gardening !
Goes to show what kind a person I am…. I give up too soon…
You are a winner !!!!
🪷🪷💗💗💗
Hahah don’t give up!! I love poppies though, great choice 👌
@@b.cormier yeah… maybe they just like to run wild & free instead of living in a pot….when I had a house I just planted perennials everywhere & they thrived….
