Today is one of the hardest days in the garden. We're packing up pieces of our old home, deciding what comes with us, and saying goodbye to the space that has meant so much over the years. Along the way, we're sharing how we're preventing invasive jumping worms from spreading to the new property and taking the first real steps toward a brand new chapter. 💚 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Check out our Q&A channel: https://urlgeni.us/youtube/channel/RobbieMcMenomey (Affiliate links Below) Shop all my favorites on Amazon! 😃 https://urlgeni.us/amazon/Amazon_StoreFront Metal Edging: https://edgeright.com/visitourgarden V.O.G. website: https://www.visitourgarden.blog The best garden shovel https://urlgeni.us/amzn/MiniSpade Follow along on Instagram: 📸 https://www.instagram.com/robbiemcmenomey/ 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 Contact: For general info E-mail: [email protected] For business inquiries E-mail: [email protected] 🐌 Snail Mail: Robbie McMenomey P.O.

Take all the pots! Take the table! The garden will look less overwhelming for buyers and you will have them for your new home. Please don’t apologize for throwing plants away, do what you have to do.
Robbie, I would take every one of your pots, birdbaths, fountains, and yard art. Also take your condole table. Those belong to you and you will need them at the new house. It would also give a clean, open look for potential buyers.
Take all the pots! The in ground landscaping is enough. Realtors will usually say to have some decor but not too much so that the potential new owner can imagine their own style. I think the same would apply to the garden. You are so right that the new owners may not want them or will sell them. Even if the new owners are gardeners, they will either have their own plants they want to place or their own style. You can have a yard sale later if the pots are no longer your style. And if someone buys the house to flip it, they are going to just toss the pots. I would take that table too. You are going to be in limbo for awhile and places to set things off the ground will help mentally.
This feels so bittersweet… I was a very silent viewer of your channel. But after you shared that you guys bought your forever home I needed to share my excitement that I have for you guys. You did a great job with this smaller garden that a lot of us loved seeing growing and transforming into this beautiful garden. I can’t wait what you guys will make of the new home and garden. Let’s gooooo Robbie 💖
Take the console table
Take all your beautiful pots. Wash them out. They are so expensive! Take as many of the plants as you can you have such a large new property. Maybe take cuttings of your favorite plants so you can start again!
Robbie. Go buy a cheap pot and replace your gorgeous expensive pot near the lion fountain….
Hi Robbie and Brent. I agree with the other commenters. Take your pots. People don’t always appreciate other gardeners style so they may throw everything away or may have their own style. Love you guys ❤❤
Take everything! Statues, fountains, tables…everything! That is not real estate. It all belongs to to you!💙💙
Each of us who have built a garden and then moved on will tell you - TAKE EVERYTHING YOU CAN. I’ve left things that the new owner didn’t keep and I wish I had them now.
Take the table! Take the pots! You’ve got 4-1/2 acres now. You’re gonna need even the cheap pots. Toss what you have to to keep them. Hugs & excited!!!❤
Take the pots and all the plants you want, they are yours!
Robby, I would take the table, it won’t raise the value of your house by leaving it. 💜. You both should be so proud of the beautiful garden you’re leaving.
From what I've learned about selling homes, most buyers tend to lean away from renovated gardens because they see it, and they think "maintenance". So feel free to take everything: new owners will likely just shove those pots into storage as the plants in them die, they may rip out any garden beds and fixtures, and may even convert everything into lawn.
Good Morning, thought maybe you should take the gazebo, you guys will need with that hot sun 🌞 it will come in handy. It’s yours 😊
Robbie and Brent. Take all the pots small, med, large. You have been using them and I am sure you will find places you will need these pots on this larger property you have now. Take the table too. The only thing you should leave in the garden is the plants that are
Take the chandelier and sconces from the greenhouse. I love them!
Having been in a similar situation (moving from my forever home) to my now forever home…I totally understand you guys….take a very slow walk around your house and garden several times over the next however long and take what you want. It is yours…take it….❤…. Will be following your journey from Australia….❤….oh and hugs to miss Freya…❤
I moved a few years back and had a lovely yard and garden. The new owners took out all the trees and plants. Looking at it now it's baren. If you love something take it. No one shares your vision. You have created such a lovely environment. Keep it and enjoy it.
Robbie, Purchase an inexpensive container and repot the plant in the corner. "Please" take your large rolled rim pot with you. It's to beautiful to leave. I can't bear to see you leave it. You can do this!!!
