In a slightly longer video than usual, we thought we would take you for a full tour of our cottage garden so you can get a sense of the space we are working on. This is a full look around so be prepared for some reality and mess as well as the more looked after areas. We've been here for three years now, and we have worked on a lot of projects around the garden. As you'll see we still have a long way left to go!

Oh I can’t event believe how beautiful this is. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong part of the world, as nothing makes my heart skip a beat like an old English cottage surrounded by wild and beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing such beauty and inspiration. 🤍

So interesting to grow upon an existing garden foundation where perhaps generations of gardeners have left positive energy as well as plant surprises behind. I Can't imagine better inheritors to carry forth the activities. Best luck.

I was happy to hear that the ducks get out to play. I could see how much they wanted out when you were by their pen, and I thought that would be sad if they could never get out. Your garden is magic.

Really glad to hear your ducks get a chance to be out of the pen in the day, couldn’t bare the thought of them being stuck in 24/7 without stretching their legs and having something different to do 👍What a beautiful garden you have, you’ve done yourself proud in such a relatively short time! X 💖👍

I love the 'No Mow May' practice - it creates more insects for my Swifts when they arrive in the spring, as the Swifts need all the help they can get. I would love to be able to say my ducks trample the Alliums a little bit, lol - love the ducks. The poly tunnel talk is very interesting and the wild life area with the pond and compost bins is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing us your amazing gorgeous garden.

Regarding your leggy lavender....go ahead and reshape by cutting back INTO the woody part creating a nice mounted shape. I was taught for years never to cut into the woody part, but actually YES YOU CAN! I do it and plants do amazing!! I cut mine back in early Spring and within 3 months you'll have tons of regrowth and blooms. If the plant looks horrible now, even at this late date, go ahead and prune...you've got nothing to loose.

It's almost like you're in a forest. Your knowledge is incredible! As someone who doesn't know much of planting can I ask where you learned things? I would love to learn more but I don't know where to start.

I could be wrong, but I think you should prioritize putting that water feature back in so that, among other things, you can attract more insect-eating wildlife (e.g, frogs and birds). That could in turn cut back on disease in your garden, which is really lovely.

Check out Living Traditions Homestead videos. They built what they call a "chicken moat" for their chickens and ducks. You could do something like this, on a smaller scale, along one side of your garden so the ducks can roam more (I see several viewers were worried about the ducks being penned up). Love your garden! We had the privilege of living in England for 3 years and all the wonderful gardens were my favorite part. I loved how we could buy bouquets of flowers for 50 pence from the open markets or alongside the road next to people's gardens. It was a wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing your lovely garden with us.
