And the doggies just enjoy the up and down the driveway. So energetic and curious.
Some of us are interested in the plants. Watching Nick manage the trees and landscaping is a favourite part of this for me.
I very much like watching the gardening parts of videos! 🌻🌲🥀😊
I personally skipped through the gardening episodes entirely (just like this one).. Only gardening I personally was interested in is the plants growing inside the ruin 😂
That hair! 😢😮 I didn't know your previous life as a Gardiner. 😅
I love both the gardening and the building work, it's all part of bringing the chateau back to its former glory
For me too
Some of us like Dan the gardener as much as Dan the builder. Can’t wait til you tackle the pool.
Anxious to see him tiling rooftops first.
Just saying. Once a roof exists; the interiors can begin to come alive again.
And if he gets it done before Ms Jarvis.😮😂
Dan the pool “boy”😂
@@hepzib928of course he will......she's too busy travelling 🙄
@@kimlarkin2630it's amazing how much is being done at lalande and even more to come once the French beurocrecy finally allows the exterior, the lake and the apartments that need permission for windows. The major Chapel renovation is well on its way as is some of the garden, as for her travelling you sound just a bit jealous!!!
I took a look at my garden today, and also have about 2,000 new plants. Unfortunately, they mostly seem to be weeds....❤
They're free, though 😄
🤣🤣🤣
😂
😂😂😂My mother used to say that weeds are just flowers that nobody loves. I’ve always loved that.
Those of us who have 'known' you before you were a vlogger or owned a chateau, think of you as 'Dan the Gardner' still. It feels like we are the 'old friends' vs all your new subscribers, who are the 'new friends'. Good to see a glimpse of Kat too.
I remember when he first started working for Stephanie he didn’t want to be on camera.
Who is Kat?
@@lisascibelli4226 Cat (she spells it with a C) is a friend from Lalande days.
@@lisascibelli4226Cat (Caitlin)is his lady friend, they met at Lalande
the man of many coats- dan the chef, dan the gardener, dan the builder, and the most important job of all - Dan the dad❤😂
Ahhh…. Dan the Gardner! Would love a vlog using your old opening intro of you driving the green van with the broken side mirror humming along to “Suddenly… 🎶
Yes i liked that intro song Happy times but different now 🥰🥰
Me too that song just lifts my spirit no matter how I am actually feeling 😊😊😊😊
Bring back the green VW! The ongoing monthly paid subscriber cashflow would easily cover a rebuild.
Dear Dan, Im sure for many of us watching....it doesnt matter what you are doing...WE WANT TO WATCH 🥰 Hugs💞
Shout out to Davey for having the good planning and vision to get all these plants for the Chateau. Well done Davey!
Ah, yes how could ever forget Dan the gardener 😊. Glad you have your own Chateau now
I love seeing Kat! She’s a hard worker like Dan.
Dan your a treasure fallow your heart. You can handle the challenge of your ruins do it w your heart life is short grab it when you can. Great videos Sir. Do you SOD critical viewers you've shown your the captain of your life
The parter he needs….I love this two 🥰👍
Hi, are they a couple now? Definitely no hate just curious.
@@true05angelthey are.
They have the same sense of humor.
Love that you’re taking the landscape so seriously. Good thinking ahead !
he was previously a gardner/landscaper, so it makes sense.
@@ryanbarker5217 And chef who demonstrated "cheffy" things. ;D
I was holding my breath, watching that precarious conga line of trolleys, on their little wheels. I'm glad they defied the odds.
Same, 😂 But Dan nailed it! as par usual. 🥳
😂 I was humming the tune in my head!😂😂
Me too I am amazed ....but Dan managed to pull it of ...like he always does😂😂😂😂
I was holding my breath too. 😂😂
Me too🎉
Love seeing you and the beautiful Cat working together. Super team effort. Loads of love K🇬🇧❤️
Me too , Kat. and Nick just seem to fit there 🙏🥰
Are they a couple now ?
It will be a beautiful, fabulous thing when not only the home is restored, but the landscaping has been done simultaneously.
Plants will enhance the chateau. Dan's planting in winter for shrubs and spring for flowers shows he has PLANNED expertly.
Great to know that Davy has been instrumental in planning the grounds and planting.
A project that has saved Dan time and energy - a great collaboration.
I look forward to seeing it next year and years to come 🍀
Davy planned it for him.
@@barbaramurray4191I agree. The permanent infil will show this year, but it will develop beautifully over the next 3 - 5 years. Can't wait.
Dan the builder.Dan the gardener. Dan the chef.
He can do it all . God bless
The memorial stone at the start of the video reads:
In this place from 1940 to 1945 families and hundreds of Jewish children were taken in and hidden. In recognition of the people of Creuse who helped them and saved them in the struggle for the liberation of France and against racism and antisemitism.
It was commissioned by the Children’s Aid Society for the site at Chateau de Chaumont.
Thank you for the translation
❤️
Great seeing Kat! So excited for gardening content. Thanks, Davey, for your good advice, I have every confidence the garden will have many, many beautiful plants. Well done Dan.
Dan you have been a friend, a lover, a husband, a father, a Gardner, a cook, a dreamer, a builder! A man of many things.
I’m sure we all don’t care what we watch you do, we just want you to win at whatever you do!
He's never married.
So basically he is a porn star? ;)
@@francoisbruel9163he has two beautiful children so there’s been love in his life ❤
Your comment was rude and uncalled for
@@chriswilford3576Ok, took your opinion into account and deleted my poor joke, for the sake of the family-friendlyness of this channel. ❤
A lover 😂😂😂 calm down LOL
I can tell that your 🌳 garden and landscaping is going to be picture perfect...each day of your life is an adventure for me...thank you for taking me along 😊
Well said. Ditto!
Am I only one who thinks picture perfect should have some green lawn and able to see sky too? right now its full of trees and he planted some more and now planting again. this i overkill, who the F has one plant or more per square metre in his yard ?
Thanks for being back Dan the Garden for a surprise appearance
😂😂😂😂nice work Kat always loverly to see you 🌹💐🌹
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Kept waiting on "what could possibly go wrong"! The three big cart tied together was epic Dan stuff!
YES!
Yes, "Dan the gardener" with his cheeky original smile was great fun and it has been a journey, a pleasure and an honour watching "Dan the Gardner" become "Dan the Chateau owner" and Jack of all trades ! Learning as you move forward, automating processes and achieving what many thought was unachievable. After what felt forever on the roof, we are getting back into the garden just in time for spring !!!
I think I remember at one point Philip from "How to Renovate a Chateau" had mentioned that he regretted not starting on their gardens from the beginning, so to me it makes sense that the garden work would take place now alongside the work being done on the building. I love the gardening content!
Well... Philip came way later....Stephanie did actually worked on her garden...and Dan was I think her first Gardner since her youtube started. Philip was restoring old furniture....
@@skdoremi6666 You're talking about the wrong Philip...
@@skdoremi6666 haha I'm not talking about Philip Jansen, I was talking about Philip and Anna from Chateau Gon Fil son Fleur (sp?). They have a YT channel too!
Once these get planted it would be great to see a drone shot or balcony view of the new plants. Fingers crossed no more snow or hail.
Massive Kat power! Great to see her back with back breaking work! So much appreciation!
I love that you are doing the garden at the same time, it means everything will establish and look like it’s been there forever by the time the renovations finished. I’ve been watching Dan the gardener right from the start at Stephanie’s. 😁
Me too
Same here!!
We do miss Dan the gardener, but missed more is your and Stephanie’s interactions. They were so funny and loving like sister and brother. Miss that.
You are doing such an incredible job with the château and the grounds. Be safe and thank you for another wonderful video ❤️
Love Dan the gardener and Dan the builder equally, the progress you've made is outstanding!!😊❤
Nostalgic seeing "Dan the Gardener"! The four wheeler shenanigans make me feel good about some of the janky ways I have also towed things, always an inspiration! Love seeing the work!
A lovely garden will be such an important part of the chateau.
😂😂😂 Your dog look like he was questioning your decision about the plant train.😅 Too funny. 🤣
Absolutely blew my mind when you got all three trolleys in one trip 😳
Such a nostalgic vlog today. Yes, I do miss Dan the Gardener but look forward to your continuing development of becoming a Renaissance man! What a life you live. I can’t wait to see what Davey has designed. The hellebores and rhododendrons will be beautiful.
I do miss "good ol' Dan the Gardener". Ah...those were the days. But Dan, what you are doing and have achieved is such a marvel!
Sure did! He is such a nice person. Amazing skills! He has admirers all around the world! Including me!
It is very sensible to work on the landscaping right from the start. It takes years to mature. By the time the chateau is getting towards finished, the garden and grounds will be appropriate.
As much as i love Dan the builder, it nice to see a bit of Dan the gardener, nice to know Davie is in the background giving advice, always good seeing Kat.😌❤️🙏🕺💃
Brought a tear to my eye after watching the old Dan the garden how it all started at your Old Bakery too, life has to move on but I do miss your little family of 3 still. Good luck with planting them out.
I clamped my hands, laughed and a tear to my eyes! Dan is an incredible person! Made his dream come to life!
I miss your family too, Kat’s gorgeous, but Analise is too and she gave you your Sons. I hope she’s happy.
Thanks for bringing up the separation. I thought this was about Dan and his chateau restoration.
Every grand house needs a grand garden. Cant wait.
Thrilling to see your park being looked after as much as the chateau!
The gardens will look amazing 👏 🇬🇧
Your one of a few that know the benefits of having a really good established garden by the time your project is completed it will look amazing it really looks great now.
Dan, what a guy you are! you used to work in front of someone else's castle and in someone else's garden on a large estate, and now you own your own place with a castle and a garden. What progress!!!! Way to go!!!
Love seeing Kat helping out!
You are amazing. I've been watching you from the old days. Great to see Cat too.
From Christchurch, New Zealand. ❤
Hello from wellington ❤❤❤
Thanks, Dan. The job you have taken on is far bigger and tougher than any I've seen. That's great, but you do it with such patience and humor! Maybe that's why people really like being around you and watching what you do with such interests.
Thank you, Dan. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊
whomever that truck driver was delivering for that company would be getting a call and it would not be nice either..
Yeah but Dan's such a proper gentleman, he wouldn't do that.
@@falco621
Agreed on both comments ❤
vous avez raison. Cela eut été une bonne idée de lui faire une mauvaise publicité de son entreprise de transport.
Is anyone else thinking J-E-R-K?
call me nasty but I would have him fired, he was paid to deliver it to the door, what if they were stolen or damaged, not good enough
I love to watching the plantings, especially the live streams.
For those that are new to Kat …… She is Witty - funny - sharp - bright - a team player …… if you pull up the Covid season of “ The Chateau Diarie “ …… you can see why we love Dan & Kat …… and have been following Dans journey since he started TH-cam videos ……. ❤
U are a man of many talents. An everything u do comes in handy
I remember when you were Dan the Gardener brought back lots of memories. The Chateau is going to be beautiful. Go Dan go be Dan the Gardener. Hell Kat good to see you again.
This is going to be so beautiful that's a lot of plants Dan the gardener 😮❤😊
And when you’re finally in your chateau and it’s fully working it will be lovely to see Dan the chef !
Nice add on of your old life Dan.
Charming
Happy planting time
I enjoy the whole project…gardens and construction! Sure hope we all can stay along for the whole ride. Your ambition is amazing.
I love Dan the gardener!❤❤❤❤
You're a hero & a legend Dan, you and your family deserve the amazing life ahead of you at the chateau
I love all the plants, trees etc.. looking great! What an awesome job you’re doing!! It’s a joy to watch all your videos! 🇨🇦👏👏👏🌷🇨🇦
Kat will always be one of my favorites from Chateaux Diaries
Kat is lovely and no nonsense, hard working girl. Bravo Kat.
I love that both mature landscape plans were based on Davey's landscape design! And so there really is no competition between the prospective chatelaines, but Davey's expanding influence on the regional chateaux map for future chatelaines to rediscover.
I'm delighted by all Chateau related topics including earth works, forest management, landscape architecture, and of course the restoration of the chateau from encaustic floor tile to roof pitch.
Cheers, Dan!
Loved seeing "Dan The Gardener" again! After all, that's how it all started! You are very cleaver doing the planting at the same time as the "renovation". I so enjoy your Vlogs - and love seeing you, Kat and your doggins.
Yes, it is great to see a bit of Dan the Gardener. I love gardening so it is great to see the changes ypu have made along with the incredible work on the Chateau.
Good lord…Dan the Gardner, 2000 plants and a Tame Digger.Lovely Journey.
You can't go wrong with Davey. He is the best!
Happy planting day Dan and friends 😊
I think they’ll be plenty of volunteers tomorrow, who wouldn’t want to help a lovely chap like Dan, and rhododendrons sound lush for lining the drive 😊
Yes, Dan we miss that lad! But I hear he comes back from time to time!Love this vlog.
Dan will always make a plan, and I think he is also planning a planting party 😊🎉
🎶'Well, I went to a garden party....'🎶
The weather is sketchy there! That Lori driver should get a new job! Thank God for Cat’s help! Hope the forecast is better tomorrow! It’s gonna be beautiful!
i love how people think others should get a new job with out knowing all the details on why he didn't unload it. what if he was a new driver and still uncertain with his skills and was playing on the safe side? what if he thought it might be muddy and could get stuck? some people.
So exciting to refurbish the gardens!!! That adds so much to the overall aesthetic!!! 🥰🎶❤️❤️❤️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🐑
Wow. The difference in the video quality between now and the archived footage from Lalande is amazing!
The man of many talents.. Love your ability to do so much. Have fun in the garden that is my favorite places 😊😊
This is so funny just as you were talking about the hail and snow it started doing the same where I live!!😂😂
My house too!! I live in Colorado, USA
@@casshiggins3725 I’m in Montana USA
Aaaw, that brings back so many memories from all the old videos! Can't believe you've been a part of our lives for such a long time.
Nice to see two thousand plants going in Dan, hope you have made some room for veggies can’t beet home grown vegetables, things are looking realy good.
Davy how good of you to help Dan , I'm sure it will look fabulous
I can’t get over how far y’all have come since I first started watching your channel! It’s amazing !
Bonne plantation ! Ho lala ! Si je n’étais pas si loin et disponible surtout, je viendrai vous aider !
Fantastique Dan ! Qui rend la vie légère après une bonne et heureuse vidéo ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hopefully you get to keep those shelves!!!! Be great for basement storage
Your yard will be growing so beautifully within the next few years…. It great that you are thinking of the landscape as you are renovating the Chateau..😊
Absolutely part of the renovation… totally agree… it’ll be spectacular Dan… Dave’s planning at Stephs place is coming to fruition… gorgeous… gorgeous plants Dan ❤
You have a great helper there. Hi Cat! Your garden and home will look beautiful because you built it! ❤😊
Well that's some MacGyver moves getting the plants off the road.
Thanks for this look back. I have missed Dan the gardener, the green van, and the B roll. 😊
Hi Dan
The chateau looked so nice from a distance
Once you finish the garden in the front
It will be amazing❤🐶❤️🐶
Lovely to see input by Davey. Good support between chateau owners and staff/contractors.
A wonderful blast from the past. While it's a lot of work now, it will look great as the Chateau reconstruction progresses. 👏👏👏
Loving watching all facets of this renovation and the grounds will be magical. ❤
I think planting a proper garden is as important to the restoration of this chateau as every nail, screw, board, beam, and nogging you put into the building. It all matters. You all are doing a fantastic job!! I'm sending miss Kat a hug and a high five for working the equipment like a boss, a Lady Boss. Love ya, Kat!! ✋👏👍💪😘💖💕
Love watching the place come together as a whole! That includes the gardens! It’ll be worth it in the end! Personally I am very excited to see what you do with the pool. I know it isn’t a priority but reviving history is a love of mine ❤️ keep up the good work Dan!
Faithful follower of your channel!
Definitely miss Dan the Gardener. However, I love watching you bring this chateau back to life.
It's just April... the old fashioned season 😂 Well done amazing guys!
I always enjoy your music selections.
Yours has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Excellent content.
How fabulous! Great to see miss cat! Hugs ❤️
I was following you from the beginning Dan and indeed, I miss somethimes your old life. So mutch fun and humor in that days. But you have now a different life, witch we like and I hope your chateau garden will as beautiful as promised!💋
Awh DAN THE GARDENER , nice Lots of plants to be planted it will look amazing when all taken and growing. Loved watching. See yer tomorrow😘
I'd be there in a heartbeat, if I wasn't in New Zealand. I'm sure, so would be many of your dedicated fans would live to help to.
Great work guys. Can't wait to see when the garden matures.
Love you guys!
🙏❤
I love seeing the plants! And yes, I miss Dan and his van with his music. Plants soften the look of the home and add lots of value too. Good soil you have now with all that mulch you’ve all made there too. Get a soil test still though Dan. . Some plants need more acid or other nutrients as you know. Enjoying your journey is the best part of your adventure towards living in your home with your boys, friends and family to share with.
Have a nice weekend planting! All the best, M.
