A BIG WELCOME to you as we walk through our August gardens! In this video, we give you some aerial shots of the gardens to show you the location of each garden. I hope it's helpful for you to get a lay of the land!
Where you may see flaws, I only see abundance and unbelievable beauty! ♡ Isn't that normally how it is? Funny. Beautiful video. Thank you for showing us your amazing gardens!
The bees, those glorious little workers, gathering the pollen --- now that is abundance. I love the 4 season garden concept ---- can't wait to see your upcoming plans for the future. Thanks for sharing your August gardens ---- they are beautiful and abundant.
I love seeing reality. August is so hot, no one even wants to be outside, I sometimes even just give up and think, I'll do it next year. But really it is beautiful. Just all the natural growth💞
Too the two of you it might seem there are wildly grown areas but that is because you look at it everyday with a tuned sense of neatness. Whereas the rest of us look at it as walking thru a Beatrix Potters garden waiting for a story to develop, a character to pop out.. I am in the process of tearing out the plants that get ruined by deer every year especially hostas . I wish I could get help in doing so but I work at it everyday. I am looking at turning these scrubb,y looking beds into pollinator gardens but with a senior friendly appeal. Putting down ground cloth and mulch to lesson the need to weed. When my zinnias started to get blemished by the Japanese beetles I tore them out and replanted and now there are fresh plants producing buds i think gardens are like our seasons in life, sometimes abundant, sometimes unproductive so going thru with a helper gives you peace of mind in reorganizing them and giving you precious time with your family to have the time to go on a picnic, a swim and get away or just sitting in the middle of all that beauty and read to your kiddos while listening to music and relishing the gift God has enabled you to have.....Bless you
Loved this, Shaye! That's the magic of being a gardener, yes? It's always changing and always challenges us to think ahead! It would be lovely for you to do a vid updating us all on WHAT plants y'all decided to keep/grow more of AND what you decided to get rid of....and, WHY!
Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them :). That being said, there's no shame in asking for help. Your garden inspires me everytime I watch your YT video's being in a 'garden transition' myself. We have made an edible garden with raised beds (and by raised I mean about 70 cm high) and still are changing and evolving. That's the beauty of it all. Thank you so much for being my inspiration. Els - Belgium.
I would rather have abundance and wild than paucity and tame any day. But even a relaxed garden needs a gardener's hand, so I do understand the need to carefully add and edit at the same time. What a lovely place to call home.
Beautiful footage & narration! Thank you. You look like Kate Winslet but just more beautiful, inside and out. A woman who can build a homestead and family like this deserves a crown.
I work in my yard daily . I have a small English garden . A kitchen garden . 2 big flower beds out front . Love the English style gardens . Your home and garden is Amazing. Learning watching you about your flowers. Please show more videos of the gardens and planting - vegetables gardens too . ❤️
Aww Monty Don, I wish HGTV would go back to it's roots an have shows like Gardeners World again. Your property is just lovely, having a pond does make you want to have them everywhere, there's really nothing like it. I have ginormous frogs living in mine, an the dragonflies this yr kept the mosquitoes down to none, it's been a Wonderful summer here on my lump of Maryland's eastern shore.
You could save a lot of seeds from plants that you want to keep but just rehomed and just change where you grow them. Thats the beauty of gardening. 😁😁
Your gardens, your music, your videography, your commentary are LIFE GIVING. Thank you so much. Embrace and enjoy your August mega abundance. This is what you live for in February! I think everything is so beautiful! Rest in it! That's what God created it for.....blessings and thank you.
Beautiful cottage garden look to the front of the house. I’m a retired landscape designer an I have to say you have quite an eye. I use to want to redo my business and name it “Cottage Gardens, for beauty and nutrition” It looks as though that’s what you have. Good luck and God bless. Thx for sharing. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Good you are getting help, not just for the well needed labor, but a person with whom you can have creative gardening conversations and fresh new ideas. :-)
Thank you for helping us to start thing past this season but plan for the next time to come. We are heading into our future, and you have enabled us to see the big picture and not to be afraid to look at the details of our special place our garden. Thank you!😇
I love your garden!!! I can relate to the fact that we tent to neglect an already established garden. I'm trying to have differents section of garden in my less than a quarter acre home. It is hard work to keep gardens tidy but is enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you so much!!
Lovely! It is so difficult to move thriving plants! Do you have a Gardner's crush on Monty Don? I won't let your secret out. We love him at our house too! Thanks for sharing your garden, family and self! I love it and you inspire me!😘
I'm always so excited when I see a notification pop up that you have uploaded a video!! Your videos have inspired me to restore our 1929 farmhouse to as original as I can.
If I didn’t live so many states away, I would love to come and help you in your gardens Shaye!! So beautiful, and you two compliment each other so well. Please don’t stop sharing it all with us!! 💜
Your gardens are beautiful, since you are in the process of reevaluating your your garden a lawn area in a curvy shape maybe like a jelly bean surrounded with more lavender and the flowers you mentioned that you want more of would be one more sweet resting place to add to your outdoor living spaces❤️
Last year was my first year of gardening and I still very exited about it, because I know it's going to take time before I feel satisfied over 60%. In my vision my garden has to offer fruits, nuts, and vegetables; it has to contain private spaces for relaxation and summer kitchen with big table for gatherings; water element preferably with running water, outdor 🚿; white garden spot because I love white flowers and the fragrances of the spring. The first 🌳 to bloom in my garden is a Cornelian cherry, and the last fruit to pick up an 🍎. I want to create seasonal and vertical garden. For the winter I picked evergreens like junipers, ilex, Italian cypress, and buxus ( I live in Bulgaria) I want to plant persimmon for whinter pick up, it has beautiful orange fruits... My favorite Autumn plants are the Wild grape, it has a gorgeous red color and the Japanese maple Its 🍁 is good for tempura!:)The first flowers I love so much-snowdrops and the last in my garden chrysanthemums. All I know is I have a work to do, a lott of it:)
LOVE This vlog! The drone footage highlighting the gardens is stunning, now I finally understand how the parts of your property relate to each other. Will have to watch it a few times over to take in all the beauty! Thank you.
I love how you explain your decisions in your gardens. I also admire and draw inspiration from your love of "old things" such as the gorgeous chair by the door. It looks so inviting as a place to drink some tea and look out over all the beautiful plants, flowers, and vegetables. Thank you so much for sharing with us and helping us to anticipate the Autumn growing season. :)
So pretty! Like everything in life, things that require the most work also have the most reward! I always start the spring strong and end up being overwhelmed by the end of summer with my flower bed. I can't imagine how I'd feel with all the gardens you have!
Gorgeous! Love to see how you're doing all your preserving with your garden and how your critters play a role in your self sustaining lifestyle. Thanks for another great video!! Hugs!
Thank you for another beautiful video. As well, thank you for "keeping it real" and showing where you too are learning and growing on your journey, just as we all are 💗
What a lovely and thoughtful video. I need to tackle one of my gardens and agree that it’s so difficult to remove plants that are lovely but just aren’t right for the space.
I have been quietly watching you for quite some time now & I can honestly say that I adore your home & gardens, with all of their mussy & lovely corners! I love your style & personality that's created those magical & peaceful spaces.
Your voice is soo soothing. I'm in the process of building my dream garden, too! Your video is so encouraging; it makes me see how much can be accomplished in three years (my garden is only 2 months old). God bless you and your family!
I would love to see a video of you guys actually doing a project rather than an overview of things. Like I would love to see how you made the pond or the different gardens or the process of redoing the greenhouse that you said you wanted to do.
Bealtaine cottage will give you all the inspiration you need , Collette made a heaven on earth when she took on a cottage and 3 acres and shows you how she did it ...very british
Gorgeous gardens! We hired out some help for the first time last week, just some weeding and tidying up. Going to have him back next week for some help getting our berry patch ready for some more planting. It's a huge relief to have some more hands when it's needed.
Absolutely visually stunning! Your photography and videography has just gotten better and better!❤️ at 4:12 you have strawberries! What variety are they? The grapes are also stunning!!! Thanks for taking us on this wonderful tour❤️
Your gardens are so beautiful!! I want gardens so bad and I want them to look beautiful like yours!!! I just don’t know where to start :( I just bought my homestead and now I’m just overwhelmed as to where to start! Wish me luck in my planning stage!! Love your vids, you inspire me so much! Just wish I had the vision!!!
I’ve only just found your blog and I think your garden is beautiful. I come from the South West of England and I am a passionate gardener so watch Monty Don every week. It was lovely to hear that you do too. I don’t know whether you’ve started work on your potager yet but you may like to take a look at Rosemary Verey’s potager in Barnsley House, nr Cirencester. She influenced a lot of gardener designers in this country like myself..
A BIG WELCOME to you as we walk through our August gardens! In this video, we give you some aerial shots of the gardens to show you the location of each garden. I hope it's helpful for you to get a lay of the land!
The Elliott Homestead insightful and always gives me ideas to think about layers for my own home. Thank you!
Where you may see flaws, I only see abundance and unbelievable beauty! ♡
Isn't that normally how it is? Funny.

Always so peaceful to watch your videos ! And I love the way its narrated. Beautiful :)
Your garden reminds me of the vivid descriptions in Anne of Green Gables. 💞💛💚💙💖💕😍
YESSS!! I've always wanted gardens like the ones described in those books.
Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them :). That being said, there's no shame in asking for help.

You and Monty are correct in your pronunciation of Anemone, have been gardening now for more than 50 years cheers,” great garden”
I started my morning with this video and my coffee, toast, and eggs. Thank you.🌸
Always good to ask for help and always listen to Monty Don. Whatever you do your plant children will understand.
Your gardens, your music, your videography, your commentary are LIFE GIVING. Thank you so much. Embrace and enjoy your August mega abundance. This is what you live for in February! I think everything is so beautiful! Rest in it! That's what God created it for.....blessings and thank you.
I love the way everything looks not too manicured and wild, that you let things grow. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

I enjoy seeing your gardens and progress as well as listening to your narration. Beautiful and serene.

Looks like this is a big beautiful example of "Be careful what you wish for!"
You are such an amazing storyteller. Beautiful video with your calming voiceover. Gardens are gorgeous!
A beautiful example of growing with your garden.

Always love peeking in to your garden. Getting to hear the love we hear in your voice as you describe what you’ve created for your family. Lovely!
Beautiful and very calming. It looks like paradise, and you have created a great place to enjoy and raise your children. Just lovely to watch. Hugs❤️
I love watching you videos, it takes me to a place of imagination and calm.
i love the garden!!!
It was Vita Sackville West who originally said...If it doesn't work/you don't like it...get rid of it.. Monty Don learned at her elbow.
I’ve watched this vlog several times and each time I see something new. I remember when you built the stream, now look at it! Blessings.
I'm always so excited when I see a notification pop up that you have uploaded a video!! Your videos have inspired me to restore our 1929 farmhouse to as original as I can.
If I didn’t live so many states away, I would love to come and help you in your gardens Shaye!! So beautiful, and you two compliment each other so well. Please don’t stop sharing it all with us!! 💜
I'm in love with your garden. I can see myself sitting in so many spots you showed. BEAUTIFUL! Lovely work.
How lovely! I enjoyed touring your garden with your soothing narration.
Your gardens are beautiful, since you are in the process of reevaluating your your garden a lawn area in a curvy shape maybe like a jelly bean surrounded with more lavender and the flowers you mentioned that you want more of would be one more sweet resting place to add to your outdoor living spaces❤️

Oh how nice. Working toward this. But I am a muggle with no wand or magic powers! And I am quilting daily so I have to choose...
I love how you explain your decisions in your gardens. I also admire and draw inspiration from your love of "old things" such as the gorgeous chair by the door.
