A glimpse into our courtyard before the storm blew it every which way, and poured down rain.
The day's work of pruning, sweeping and all that sort of garden jazz for naught!
I wonder what it will look like when I return?
How does your garden grow?

Beautiful, just beautiful. Our snowball trees aren’t blooming yet, yours are lovely.
Sigh!

My garden is buried in another (!!) spring snowstorm. Your garden is lovely – thank you for sharing. Somewhere I know that spring has actually arrived … just not in Montana.

Ah! to have such a garden. I have absolutely nothing at the moment, being displaced after the earthquake, but I am so blessed to have a sister-in-law for whom it’s the most natural thing in the world to snip flowers and bring me a bouquet from her garden! I asked my husband, who is still back home, what my balcony flowers look like, only to be answered with silence. I shudder to imagine!
Your garden is so lovely, Corey! -
Your garden looks fabulous. I don’t have one now, as you know, and am so happy not to have weeds, snails, watering or the mistral to blow it all around. Next on my list is a porch with maybe a pot of flowers. That’s it.

Our garden is a place for the kids to play and splash in the pool. I’d love to try to grow some veggies next year. It is now autumn here in Australia so we can actually get out and about without being frazzled alive in the sunshine!
-
This is your garden right now? It is so beautiful. Love seeing the photos. The garden behind your Mom and Holly’s shop always, always looks great too.

Corey, I am so sorry that the storm blew over your beautifully tended courtyard!
Thank heavens you captured all those beautiful images.
Safe travels and may your courtyard be safe from weather’s vagaries and heal while you are traveling,

Beautiful garden. Mother Nature likes to show us sometimes who rules here. Good that it was only the garden (though sorry that it got damaged) and not your home.
I don’t have a garden for now, just some pots on the window sill. -
Beautiful garden indeed.
Love you
I use Starbucks coffee grounds and lots of love for mine………..Love you -
We had a long, slow winter and now have a slow, grey spring. Not even any green yet…but we are optimistic. We have a peony farm and expect to pick about 6,000 blooms this year. But it will be later than usual because of the long winter and late spring. Flowers anyone?
-
Not nearly as beautifully as yours. I’m sure FH will keep a watchful eye over your garden until you return with a not so unfamiliar house guest.

Your courtyard is breathtaking!
-
Your garden is Stunning, a French fairytale. Thanks for the peek into your lovely French Garden! Safe travels………
Easter Blessings

Your courtyard/garden is charming. My backyard is filled with a large swimming pool and bushes around the perimeter. No gardening needed 🙂 The front yard gets all the attention; the porch holds flower pots. Simple…gotta keep it simple 🙂
-
6000 blooms!
Oh my what a wonderland of beauty that must be!! -
Those two have a green thumb, I mean a green hand!
I have begged both of them to come over and help me! -
Sue,
I have thought of you & your family everyday. We have a very good friend (who has two children) who lives in Fukushima. He runs an English speaking school there. His parents (good friends of ours as well,) are leaving this week to go help him and his family.
I cannot imagine what you and our friend are going through.
Peace in my prayers, and protection I pray,

Your courtyard is beautiful, Corey!
We’ve had day after day of rain here and will have to take it very slow when we are finally able to tackle the first mowing of our lawn.
Safe travels as you return to China! -
Such a lovely space Corey. It reminds me of your Mother’s garden!
We’ve had a very cold and damp spring, after a cold and damp winter. Plants that are usually in bloom in late March are just starting to bloom. Lots of moss on the paving stones and walkways that will have to be powerwashed. Today the sun is out and it is to get to 65degrees. Get coffee, apply sunscreen and then we are out in the garden. -
Your gadren is so pretty! Just like Va’s! 🙂
-
Hmmm, perhaps Yann will straighten the garden before you return? Owing to your Mediterranean climate, your Spring is clearly far more advanced than ours (more like the SF Bay Area, it seems); the daffodils here are currently in full bloom, but the tulip have yet to open.
-
Ack! The TULIPS have yet to open [always make sure subject and predicate agree before hitting “Post”!]
-
Here round Paris the bright and warm weather is still on … only a few raindrops early in the morning today, not enough to water the garden … nor to dampen it either …
With this good summer-like weather, the lily-of-the-valley has been blooming for nearly two weeks and I doubt there will be any little white bells left on May Day !
Our “coeurs de Marie” (“Venus’s cars” – from the dic. ?!?)are blooming too along with my small azalea and the last tulips.
The rhododendrons and the peonies are all blossomming.
And the hydrangeas are very promising.
The weeds are doing very well too !!!
And we have to mow the grass once a fortnight now …
Many of our plants and flowers got litterally burned last summer and I have not replaced them… The garden looks much more sober now… but is less work-demanding as well !!! -
what a wonderful paradise escape and it is right there to be enjoyed each day. so peaceful and lush. Bestest,Denise

Your courtyard garden is beautiful, very cosy and “European.” We have snow today…ah, that’s New England. Maybe an inch and a half, mixed with icey rain. It won’t last. At this time of year snow is called “poor man’s fertilizer” because it brings nitrogen to the plants. We have Victory gardens with many heirloom veggies, fruit trees, medicinal and culinary herbs and lots of perennial flowers in our gardens. Much work to do, it never ends, but so lovely!

Your garden is breathtaking in these pics. I love the antiques that you dusted into the garden. And the fountain, wow. I assume this is original to your courtyard? Mother Nature is so unpredictable. Today I washed my car, and now there is a dark and heavy thunderstorm. I wouldn’t expect anything different.
-
Silly me. I hit send before answering…For the next few minutes, my garden is in full-bloom. Roses, lilacs, daisies, strawberries, basil, and swiss chard. When I awake tomorrow it will be a different scene all together. The news is reporting 2-3 inch hail.

Hi Corey, what a beautiful garden. It’s so refreshing watching and listening to springs arrival. I have really enjoyed your travel photos and details of your unbelievable trip. How wonderful for you and your husband. It must have taken a long time to plan,particularly the Thiland portion of the trip.
-
I am late, but will have some planting to do…we have to hurry before it’s too hot here in Louisiana!
-

It is a dream garden, Corey, very beautiful!
-
I am not a gardener, so today I am taking Connor for a walk and picnic at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, which grow beautifully! It is one of those places where I look around and think, “We are so lucky that someone dreamed this up and went to the trouble to make it!”
