That was a sublime half hour. Thank you so very much
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have depression and was scanning videos because I want a cottage secret garden and your video popped up and it made me feel alive and good. Thanks for the beautiful video. I will be watching this every night before going to bed. Elegant and stunning!
I'm so glad it helps - come and visit again whever you like
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful !!! I love the British Country Garden!!!
Wow, that was amazing. What a beautiful place to live. Heavenly!!!
Thank you!
Just waiting for the nurse to come and remove stiches from a cut on my hand after a fall. An old lady who has just discovered this wonderful video yesterday. It will be a daily visit ,the music is just as lovely, as the garden so talently filmed
Thank you, that's really nice! I've done another short film with some bits I missed last time

This is frankly very bitter/sweet for me, because I'm trapped in NYC---with no possibility
of living in the country in a house with a garden even a fraction that size. How blessed, how lucky you are......
Soon everyone living will have a house in the country..jw.org
A moment in peaceful paradise . Wonderful thankyou
Such a rapturous little place, just a garden. I love all the lovely pictures of butterflies, they can be so fleeting. Even the reptiles are amusing. All the little lives that love your garden. The insects are all interesting as the butterflies and the birds too although harder to get the birds. Get some proper bird boxes, they'll be more numerous then. You'll also have sounds of baby birds.
Thank you! We have got lots of birds - it's just they are very difficult to photograph! I made some boxes for the house martins according to the RSPB instructions, using a mix of saw dust and cement. They look brilliant but the ungrateful critters have totally ignored them! We also have a visiting Sparrow Hawk (in the film) who is not fussy what it eats. Even then, when I found him/her looking unwell I took him/her to the wildlife rescue - it's all part of nature!
Very surprised to see a blue butterfly! Thanks for sharing
Trop belle cette vidéo, j'adore ces beaux jardins .
Merci beaucoup!
I love the music selected to go with these beautiful and incredible images of life and sky and sun
Impossibly fantastic; beautifully & brilliantly rendered. Awards worthy, both gardens & film.
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful video!!
Good morning everyone soso breathtakingly beautifully,the music 🎶 is mesmerising wonderfully 💖 ❤️ 💕 done.
Thanks for listening
how beautiful! Lovely to watch when you are ill in bed. We do not get such a variety of butterflies in New Zealand. Well done, you gardeners! Janette Godfrey, rural Wanganui, New Zealand.
+Janette Godfrey Thank you - hope you feel better! We were in NZ in Feb/Mar, amazing scenery and a butterfly we don't have - the Monarch!
Most beautiful! Both the garden and the music! Thank you so much!
You have so many beautiful friends that visit your garden! It's wonderful that you appreciate them so much.
A lovely tour of your garden Steve and great photography. Hector. Jan 4th
+Hector Gilchrist Thanks Hector, and of course you have sang among the flooers in this very garden on balmy summer days! th-cam.com/video/1fQijX506JA/w-d-xo.html
So tranquil. So peaceful. A little bit of heaven on earth. Thank you.
Simply wonderful.
Thank you so much for making and posting this. I found it heart-lightening to watch. I grew up with a large garden in the country and now live in a town terrace with yard and really miss the abundance and variety of nature. Your video has it all and I can't thank you enough for sharing it xxx
If only you really had corncrakes and cuckoos calling from your garden! Beautiful all the same and nice to see you include some wildflower meadow habitat.
Thanks!
how beautiful ! :) thanks for sharing

Still the best clip on Utube. What a perfect end to a difficult day at work. With a glass of red! Thank you so much
Thanks, that's great to hear! Take it from me, we do a lot of sitting with wine in our garden and let nature do its thing!
thank you so much for your beautiful video presentation - full of beauty life and soul. Most grateful.
Thank you!
So beautiful ❤

Oh Wow! This brought tears of joy, so beautifully done, seeing those Bees so happy and content made my day, well done the music and everything is absolute perfection, Thankyou fir sharing this.
Your Bee Hives are fantastically clever! Who complained about the bugs? How do they think all that cross-pollination happened to begin wth. Incredible Garden anyone would Love. Great design and selection and all so natural. You Brits know your Gardens!!!

Hello Lynda
Just wonderful❤️❤️❤️
great video, thanks for the nice TH-cam post and best regards from Austria 👍👌😊
Thank you!
Magnificant! Just wish there were a few labels on some of the plants (though I know this may spoil the flow so to speak of the video). Beautiful.
Thanks - just too many names to put on I'm afraid, especially in the multiple plantings. Happy to ID if you give the time in the video
Hi, thanks for offering. You have created a dream. One thing I find hard to get my head around is that such a beautiful garden emerges from the snow!
That was good..thanks for sharing.

So breathtaking garden, how gorgeous 😍😍
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
What beautiful photography of an especially beautiful garden! It was a joy to see from beginning to end. The brick structure was interesting also. It that mainly for bees/wasps?
+Anne Engelking Wellman I just googled around and found the info on invertebrate houses similar to yours with nooks and crannies. It looks like something we should try. Thank you again for posting your lovely video.
+Anne Engelking Wellman thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! The 'bug hotel' has been a great success and everyone who has seen it wants to go and build one. You just make one with whatever materials you have to hand. It's amazing what they attract - the bees are Mason bees, quite rare in the UK but thriving here. They nest in holes and seal them up with 'mortar' then they hatch the next year. Here's a link to making one of these www.rspb.org.uk/makeahomeforwildlife/advice/gardening/insects/wildlifestack.aspx
+Anne Engelking Wellman I'll try to post a link to our community garden facebook page album which shows the construction facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.530746910293663.1073741827.494219147279773&type=1&l=c2a0dfb067
I just had to come back to view your video again it is so lovely. The photography is the best I've seen. The only things missing though in your wonderful garden are weeds! Where do you grow your weeds ? : )
Your lovely stand of sweet peas makes me want to try those again though the hot weather here ruins them quickly, but the fragrance near yours must be quite a memorable experience.
Well thank you - that's really nice of you! The weeds are there mind, I just haven't done close-ups of them! And as they say - a weed is just a plant in the wrong place. We are not clinical or tidy in any way and our garden goes all out to be wildlife friendly. The new wild flower 'meadows' that used to be lawn is full of 'weeds'! I also let them run rampant in the veg patch and mix everything up - we reckon they grow better, probably because the pollinators are on hand, and it looks better. Having said all this though, we do try and keep on top of the more invasive weeds. And now I must head out there beer in hand to watch the bats....
A painterly garden.
Veldig fint blommester
O my, I found a picture on the internet the other day and decided to paint it in miniature (English dollhouse scale 1:12) Just yet I learned that it is in this video! It is at 16.41 minutes. Can't show my painting here though but would love to get in touch with the owners of that garden!
Your garden is beautiful and I love how wildlife friendly it is. I love your hare sculpture, whereabouts did you get it from please ?
Thank you so much! The hare was from a National Trust shop in Surrey. It's called a Howard Hare bronze figurine (Paul Jenkins). If you Google you should find it
@@Croonedaway fabulous thank you so much for replying
Preciosa!
The Earth is Life itself; so far as a species we have failed to see it. Is there still time for us?
What was in the holes of the log piece that the bees were buzzing around? 5:42
They are holes of various diameters drilled about 10cm deep which solitary bees nest in. The Mason bees cover over the entrance with mud to protect the larvae. They are amazing pollinators!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thankyou so much, may you advise me on the name of the trailing plant flowering pink next to the bees ? At 5.25 in the video.
Thanks. The plant is a creeping low-growing alpine purple form of Thyme (herb). Unfortunately I don't have the variety name. Garden centres have them so good luck!
Croonedaway many thanks!!!

Who slipped the snake in?
?
Bugs beat out blooms.
It's that a real snake in your pond?
Yes, it's a Grass Snake. Non-venomous, they eat frogs and newts
Natural sounds would had been so much nicer than this music!!
Why show all the bugs ewwwww
Ads, all the way through, don’t bother👎🏼
Nothing to do with me - don't know when this happened
to long no good
You likely meant "too".
