  • A MAZ ING!!! You guys made an absolutely beautiful garden of a backyard. You are true artists, and so smart to remove the grass and create a design with drought tolerant plants and very useful, beautiful paths. Very inspiring! Your family will enjoy the results of all your labor every single day. Worth it!

  • It was so satisfying to watch this transformation. And heartwarming to see 3 generations working together! I love the way you always show "chipping away" at projects. We've been painting our home room by room this year and it's sometimes been hard to pace ourselves because I just want it all finished. Well, now we have only one room left and I'm actually a little sad that the project will be complete!

  • Shannon I love your videos I’ve even started to reduce my things I’m 80 now and don’t want to leave stuff for my daughter to get rid of later on. Your Mum is adorable so funny and I love how you both interact with each other. You have a beautiful family wishing you all the best and enjoy your gorgeous garden. 🌷💐💕

We took most of the grass out and on the edges we brought in landscape fabric and beautiful river rock. What a difference. I have raised bed gardens where we can grow some of our own food. I love it!

It’s our favorite fruit and will take over any support structure fast for fantastic shade/privacy. Assuming you’re in zone 10, you have the luxury of being able to support many tropical plants.
