A year in the cottage garden. I share with you how this small garden transforms from bare ground to a lush garden of ornamental and edible plants.

I was just thinking how much I was looking forward to more of your videos this spring 🦋🌻
Would love to see the rest of the garden and how you address you Garden challenges! Your videos are works of art as are your gardens. Thank you for your inspirational content! ❤🌷🌻
Yes please show us all the gardens! I really enjoy your videos & look forward to new ones.
I'd love to see the rest of the garden, I wait for your videos like how my plants wait anxiously for rain. I have been having trouble in my garden lately so seeing your video gives me renewed inspiration to go out there and do many of the tasks i've been holding off on.
Yes we would love to see more 10:15
yesss please show us the back garden too! i love the symphony of colour, scent, and movement in cottage gardens. some may say it looks messy, but to me it looks like a slice of heaven, where everything is alive and – like you said – constantly in flux. i’m helping my own mama with her new garden and I’m glad we both like our spaces on the wild side.
by the way, what software do you use to create the visual plans in your videos? i’ve been on the lookout for a program I could use like that. amazing video as always!
I didn't get the notification for this! Watching right now, 3 days late. ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, especially because you showed all the stages of the garden – including the "ugly" one. Seeing only the beautiful side of the gardens can be daunting, even though it's very inspiring – but this video motivated me even more. The fact that you've been working on it for years and still struggle with fussy plants is very relatable, and it helps me to calm down and view my garden as a constant work in progress ^^
I would love to see more ! Did you also consider making one day videos where you'd advise people on what flowers they could put in their garden ? Not ALL of the garden but maybe a tricky border ? For example, in my garden I have a border with lots of roses – but only roses. I'd like to add other flowers that would bring interest without competing too much with the rose bushes. Your viewers could send you a picture, precising what country they're in (for frost-sensitive plants, etc), and you'd propose solutions or ideas. Maybe it would be less time-consuming than your current videos, too. But please keep on inspiring us with your beautiful cottage gardens <3
I’d love to see the rest of your garden! It’s gorgeous 😊
This garden makes me sick with jealousy. More please 🥺
I like English Gardens
I love, love, love your videos! It’s especially amazing to see how your gardens change through the seasons. My own garden is definitely on it’s highest in late May/June. In July, it becomes overgrown and the flowering bushes are done. This year, I am going to take some inspiration from you, and plant gladioli. In my zone (Denmark, so the same as Britain), they can’t make it through the winter, but I guess I could be less lazy, and just dig them up and store them for next season. I would love to have dahlias, but unfortunately I have a snail/slug issue, and snails love to snack om them. The flower from my own garden that I would recommend the most is the silk peony, which is one of the plants that contribute the most to my May feast of colours. I have some in the sun, some in half light and some in full shade, which means that I have blooming flowers for several weeks. I hope you will keep going with your channel – I am such a fan! 🙏 And yes, please do videos from the gardens by the sides of the house!
I'm impressed that you can make such a lovely video with your typewriter.
Your garden is phenomenal! I love it! Can not wait for updates!☺
YES please!! I love seeing and learning about your cottage garden and whatever practical tips you can share to create my own . I’m renting , so I have to adapt the style to pots . F you ever share any tips for having a cottage garden style in a rental yard . That would be amazing!!
More! I love these videos the most out of the ones you do! Thank you for sharing!
I like the grapevine along the fence because I planted a couple by my front fence a couple years ago and have been wondering what it will look like once well established.
Omg what a dream garden love it all your videos are very helpful 👍
Stop f*ckin around show more of the space!! Show the back garden
The only reason i want a house is to garden :<
did you make those blue towers?
🙋🏼♀️ more
🌸❣️🌼
Yes, please do a video on how to build your garden towers. Their form reminds me of the Eiffel Tower. The blue reminds me of Claude Monet’s Giverny. Lovely structures. I enjoy your talents. Thanks!! John
UM YES PLEASE, MORE – ALWAYS!
I think your cottage garden is enchanting! For a few years we had some beautiful ferns hanging on the front porch [the visual impact surprised me]…and we have lilac bushes, wild roses, a forsythia bush, three very old apple trees, and iris growing outside the deer fencing [the only things that have survived the deer] – the only winter interest we have is one Douglas Fir tree [among 21 White Oaks]. We live on the Southern Oregon/Northern California border. For ideas, 'Garden Answer' is fun to watch. She's In Eastern Oregon near Idaho, but she goes to flower shows, Mackinac Island, and her folks own a garden supply store. Lots of eye-candy and inspiration!
Please more!
Did you make the bronze plant protectors? If so, I’d love a how-to video! I’m in Catonsville very near to you!
You are my biggest inspiration! I love hearing your ideas and seeing how you bring everything together. I’m like a sponge soaking up all the knowledge you share. I’m tempted to grab my gardening notebook every time I watch your videos! They are worth the wait, a true work of art. Thank you for creating these videos for us!
The rabbits where so cute. Maybe some sacrificial crop for them 🙂 in some corner.
I have lots of birds so i just planted more currant bushes that i don't really like but have pretty flowers and some fruits for the birds and i made boxes for my strawberries.
i can’t believe i got to watch this for free ❤ so inspiring
Calla Lily and Day Lily, well actually I love all lilies! ❤
i want to see how to make the tutu etta! i saw the one from brsnches
Yes yes we want to see more love your style love your information
Ya of course we wanna see more parts of the garden!
Australia definitely has snakes and lush cottage gardens. We keep an eye out for snakes or pretend they don’t exist/ignore them all for the love of gardens. 😂❤🐍
I'd love to see a video about crafting those hollyhock cages.
have you used Sedum Matrona? Yarrow?
Oh btw, a wonderful shade loving bush I have absolutely fallen for is called the MONA LAVENDER PLECTRANTHUS. It is an Autumn to winter flower bloomer but a year round showy perennial.
Keep making this type of videos please
❤
Really appreciated your assessment of the white placement. It made me think/see plant placement differently. I wonder if a lacecap hydrangea or a viburnum plicatum would give you the desired wispy effect?
Great video, as always! Love yo see your ideas come to life.
A perennial I’d suggest is the mountain laurel. Longer lasting blooms that azaleas and more interesting looking foliage
In re-watching, I noticed that I missed something you shared: you made the tuteurs out of conduit????
Please share more about that process
I love hearing your painterly analysis of why plants do and don't work together in your gardens. Your animated sidebars add so much, and I'm sure are very time consuming to create, which is why I'm prepared to be very patient as I wait for the your next video. 🙂
Absolutely interested to see more. You seriously have THE best gardening videos: relaxing, entertaining, and informative. You even addressed my intense fear of snakes in the cottage garden that I dream to have one day! You have such a talent for this and I'm thankful that you share it with us all!
MORE VIDEOS. Love your no nonsense content. ❤️🐰
Worthy of a biscuit tin. Lovely.
