    This garden is my idea of heaven. It is nice to see people who are obviously wealthy, having the insight and vision to want a garden design like this.

      Joel lovely of you to reply. Can I just say that you are a fine example of what an “influencer” should be. You are responsible for completely changing my life & opening my world up to wildlife. Because of you I built a wildlife pond last year & have re-wilded my whole garden. My pond is now teaming with tadpoles & I have a bluetit busy building a nest in one of my bird boxes. It is fascinating watching it & marvelling at the effort it goes to. You should be very proud of the effect that you are having on your audience. Thank you so much for what you do.

      @@harrysamuppet6804 Thank you, so much, this really means a lot. Such a pleasure to read this after a pretty hard week! I'm so glad that the channel has been helpful, the pond build instructional videos alone have all exceeded 100k views now and I'm really hoping that even if just 10% of viewers were encouraged to make a pond, that's 10,000 more ponds across the world! Really pleased to hear about your garden too and the rewards it brings when considering wildlife while gardening. If you get a chance I'd loved to see some photos, you can send them to me at enquiries@hazelwoodlandscapes.com - thanks again for all your support and encouraging words, they really do make a difference and I'm very grateful 😃

      @@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton I live close to all the attractions. But not too close. Also, I live on a lake and have just under two acres, off a little dirt lane - right in the city! I’m very lucky. It’s a beautiful piece of property and deserves a far better designer than I am. There’s not really garden designers in Orlando. Just “landscapers” who do the typical hedge and one tree. But - the good news is that the native plant growers can’t keep up with demand. So.... there’s definitely room for a good designer that specializes in natives. 😀
