    WOW!!! So Amazing!!! Thank You for sharing🤗 Learned a lot but also realized you are already doing things the best ways. So what we learn from you is perfect 💚

  2. @AllisonHebler

    Oh,what a wonderful trip and a great memories with your sister and friends. Some of the oldest gardens to learn from. Thank-you fo sharing

    Great trip and certainly very tiring. I once went on a trip like this to England, there are such beautiful gardens. And then it's easier with the language.

    The French are world famous for their gardening and fruit. I have always wanted to try a French strawberry. The Mara DeBois is supposed to be the most sweet strawberry in existence.

    I had no idea that rosemary didn’t overwinter easily. We had a HUGE rosemary bush in our garden when we lived in New Mexico, where the winters were very cold.

  16. @ChristianMomof2

    That was wonderful to watch. Thank you for sharing!

    I haven't had the chance to watch the previous video, yet. I believe you mentioned you are pregnant again? How lovely! Congratulations!

    I would love to see any new ideas you implement.

    Thanks again for sharing and blessings to you and your family 🙂.

    I am extremely happy for you. What a joy! And how blessed! I have been to France 3 times but never thru the eyes of a gardener. Now that I am one, I would love to go on the same journey you took. However, thank you for sharing this trip with us so that I can at least have a taste. 😊❤

    That was trés magique! What a dream trip and so lovely you could experience it with Amy. Thank you for sharing these beautiful and practical spaces. ❤
