this is life. the magic of the garden, the omission of relentless care in the garden and the friendly growl of the dog at the end of the day. real earth magic.
Hi my name is Dan Allen, I love my garden , I feel peace and tranquility. T is a wonderful is a wonderful place for conversation. I was inspired by George Harrisonโs garden at Friar Park.
Omg- the dogโs name โBasilโ just brought happy/sad tears to my eyes. I lost my boxer, Basil, in March and she was such a love; I couldnโt have asked for a better dog to come into my life! Sounds like your Basil is a male - Enjoy him! What breed is he?
Ah thank you Leslie, and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's just so heartbreaking, I know. This Basil (boyBasil!) is a yellow Labrador - and he's a love too. He says to say thank you!
The rose that's spied for a moment at the bottom of the shot at 1:30 is what I and my friends call the "Winkie Rose," in memory of a very close friend. I looked for and found a 'nameless' rose in a garden shop and bought 5 plants, one for each of us to plant in her memory. We are the Mommunists, formed in 1974 or 5; a group born of necessity; our motto is "Always share, never do anything you know in your heart is wrong, and always take a sweater." Winkie (formally known as Lyn) was our north star.
The tour was delightful and Basil is a wonderful addition!!
Thank you Lynn - he is a true Substack fan!
This was beautifully done!
I just love Basil too, he was great !
He is a star - almost definitely adoring the limelight
Starring Basil with his co-star Jo Thompson ๐๐๐
Well I think that's just about it..... talk about scene-stealing!
I enjoyed the Magical Garden Moments video and Basil, of course

Thank you for these lovely words - and that growl was so funny - I do have a video of that moment when he growled - Iโll post it!
Thatโs great, are you going to add a film and television category to the Substack categories?

That garden has such an interesting story - I've never been there but have friends who have been lucky enough to visit it and they say it's wonderful
