Darren, your garden came out of winter beautifully. Oh, i wonder what roses is that by the bench with tons of buds. You said it was David Austin.

Love your moser clematis. Flowers look huge !!

Love your Japanese wisteria. Wish i can smell it. There for a sec i thought you were ready to climb up a stool ot something to see anything above the arbour. I see you almost did. Like where are you guys hiding perhaps it is playing peek a boo with the leaves....it will look beautiful when all is in bloom ;)

I can just imagine !!!

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

Darren, your garden is so beautiful. The roses are just crammed with buds and I can't wait to see the grand opening. Meanwhile there are still other interesting plants to enjoy; I especially like your clematis. And of course your black furry little companion!

Hey Darren....I'm a picture type of person. Videos make me dizzy. But, I appreciated the first 20 seconds before I had to shut it off. I'm excited for your roses to burst into a humungous flush!!

Wow Darren. Your garden look stunning, right out of a garden magazine. Please keep us updated. I love the atmosphere you have created. it is so inviting.

Funny little Ava is the sweetest flower in the garden.

The close up of inner circling petals of Darcy B remind me of ballerinas bending in dance.

Too old now to do much of anything, it is a tonic for my soul to walk through a beautiful garden video.

In my youth I lived with friends in a pink stucco Spanish mansion on the coast. If only I could go back in time to landscape it. All I had then was a small cactus that repeatedly fell out of the third story window to it's end.

There isn't room to add much more to the flower bed, but I'm greatly inspired now to create some atmosphere for the entry way. I have seen how to reproduce the effect of Italian clay pots with raised garland designs by piping modeling compound with cake decorating equipment.

This is an internet photo of an antique linen with embroidered Mackintosh style roses , a design to modify for a painted flower pot.

That is a great thing about Rose Forum how it enriches the mind to cultivate beauty wherever we can. Thanks Darren for your magnificent garden to inspire us all.

Oh how delighted I am that you bothered to watch my video up-date! Thank you! Please do join me in future up-dates. If only I could make you tea and scones too! I would if I could. I promise!

Love the little black pug 😍 They’re such lovely companions. Ava loves the garden. She’s quite possessive over it. She’s always chasing out the big wood pigeons that visit 😂

I wish you success BerryPie with your pot art. Pls send pics when they’re done.

Thank you once more for your lovely messages. I’m sending you all vibes of love.

Love, Darren & Ava xxxx

Berry, those pots are so pretty. Your art is so clean and beautiful.

I hope one day you will expand your skill into commerce. Love the CRM design !!

Plumeria Girl, I wish the photo was my work- it is an example of vintage Mackintosh linen, probably from Scotland when craftsmanship was done impeccably.

Darren, It is a rich happy thought just to imagine tea and scones from your hand in such spectacular surroundings , what a generous heart you have.

For you.

Oh my , that is an achingly beautiful rose.

Darren, your garden in incredible! Thank you so much for the tour link. If it's okay, I am going to share your link with my sister and a couple of gardening friends. They just have to "walk through" the paradise you have created! So much work but such a gorgeous creation! I see you have another post and will check that one out tomorrow. Carol

If the pug suddenly disappears, rest assured I'm providing a loving home!

:-D. Carol

Carol - yes, she's a super cute pug. :)

Darren - did you create that cross yourself? It's gorgeous!
