Mrs. Bunny, you will forever be included as one of our great gardening leaders. Your generosity of spirit, intelligence and style is unique and totally yours. Thank you for your books and videos-I have learned so much from you. Thank you for the garden joy and creativity you share with us Dawn
The first one looks like a cottage garden and is great fun. My back garden is like that, on a diminished scale. I bet it’s buzzing with pollinators, which is the most satisfying sound in the world to me. To create something so beautiful and so useful. How can *anyone* not love gardening??
Lol Bunny. Don't feel alone. I love artichokes in the garden simply for their flowers! I don't care for eating them. But the foliage and the flowers are extremely beautiful and add so much to a space!
Both styles work for different spots. Simple planting is more like "landscaping", and good for transitional areas and spots near public walkways. I've seen the mutabilis rose in catalogues/on websites, but never in real life. I like collecting unusual roses, so I'll consider it. My William Shakespeare, Claire Austin, and Blush Noisette roses are finally coming back after a serious critter attack. I never had a clue that skunks, raccoons and possums would actually eat roses and their tender shoots. >:( I adore your fantastical iron gazebo!!!
I have both styles in my gardens. In a raised wall area, I have white meidiland roses and Rozanne geranium, with blue and white bulbs for the spring. Very lovely and easy to maintain.
You are helping me understand what I am finding out by trial and error - over quite a few years. I have been aiming to get as many blooms as possible, in a continuous progression. But after all that trouble, I realize I actually like the more structured style more - less diversity and more topiary, stone and gravel. Your clips about the Thyme 'complex' were a light bulb moment. All this info Free Gratis. Monty Don gets my TV licence - apologies !
Lovely and helpful as usual. I would love to see a video on a "strategy" for keeping biennials going. I have had little luck with Foxgloves, even though I have shade and not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also - what to plant with them.
Both are beautiful, but the restricted plantings are too boring for my taste. Nothing to discover and when the alliums go, there's nothing but the lavender left, not my favourite plant because it's a migraine trigger.

Love both styles. Both have a place in the gardens. Thank you Bunny!
This is what I'm looking for--a meadow of madness. Crazy beautiful, crazy joyful. Thank you!
Kudos to videographer Unity Guinness. ❤🎉
Thank you for details on the screen😉🌷
Both styles are fabulous, I particular love the Alliums and Lavender ❤
Loving both styles, the oak trees in winter are stunning.

The second style calmed me.
I love the more formal style with the alliums!
Both beautiful and inspiring

I love the riot-style of planting...so vibrant and shocking! I'm intimidated though because weeding seems like it would be a nightmare.

Both so beautiful, can you tell me the name of the Allium in the second more structured garden please? Thank you love you channel on here!
