You'd be surprised. I'd bet some neighbours think it's a mess. My Dad was often lobbied to have his garden on Garden Walks - never would since our backyard was his trial garden. He did everything wrong so he could be even more knowledgeable about plants when inevitably as a garden show host and Horticulturalist he would be asked how to save such and such dying plants. Our neighbours on the other hand hated our garden because it looked like a jungle apparently and it wasn't by any means a wildflower, vegetables in the front yard or cottage garden.

How lovely. I am now 75 yo and when I was younger I had a wonderful garden full of flowers and lilacs and lived on 2 acres. I now live in an apartment with a small balcony and have potted flowers every spring, summer and fall. You've inspired me, I think I will add more this summer. Bees and Hummingbirds will love it even more. Thank you very much for your video. Well done.

My grandfather came over to the US from Scotland and worked for the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. He always had me out in our small backyard planting or breaking up flower pots or digging holes for bulbs and crushing dead leaves to put in first. He died when I was 12, but once I became a mom and had my own home that gardening instinct and all that he taught me came back. I have a small pond and garden beds and raised beds all over, There is nothing as peaceful as sitting on my porch in the rain and looking out into the garden.

Plus I've dabbled in textiles for a long time but now have been concentrating on putting all my creativity in creating my garden. (plus you remind me of a lovely friend of mine who used to work at Kew Gardens ..) I love all these 'coincidence's or similarities..touches my heart x

When I first watched this, I dreamed of having a home and garden of my own. I feel very grateful to say that I now have my home and recently started working on my very first garden. I also have to say, I absolutely love the organic look of your garden and videos. They are both works of art and very unique. Your voice and way with words are also so soothing and poetic. I very much love your videos and I hope you continue to make more. Sending you lots of love.⚘️
