  • 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.

    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 💖👍

    You have a very beautiful garden. I am working on my little 133-year-old farm property to turn parts of it into beautiful gardens and friendly habitats for pollinators and beneficial insects.

    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.

    • @wolfsbane1991
      @wolfsbane1991 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for sharing this! I have tons of lavender but one of them has gotten so woody because the previous owner didn't cut it back like I always do. I was always told never to cut into the wood, so I was avoiding that.. But will definitely try it!

    @carola.h.5689 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Your garden is a dream!! I love the flowers on the steps and the plants growing against the wall. Your colour palette is so beautiful! I adore the wildness of the last part! 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 have turned into an old lady now but, if I were younger, you might have persuaded me to get busy in my back yard! LOL I am more a houseplant kind of person, but you made a great video here....I really enjoyed it....and I subscribed.

    I love the idea of postponing the use of "killers" to see if nature will create a tolerable balance between what you get and what you share with the critters.

    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.

  • @Botanica2012

    You are such a lucky young woman! You have done such an amazing job in enhancing what has been there for centuries, without modernizing it. I just love the poetic romance of it all. BTW, I have read that you should never plant tomatoes where they have been before. Pick a new spot, or pot them.

    I wish I could have a rock wall like that and moss grows. It’s too sunny and it gets really hot and humid during the summer time where I live in the US. We once lived in the state of Washington where it rains a lot and I could see myself creating something like your garden. But not in our new home 😔

    BTW, your coffee table looks just like mine. Mine was a kitchen table I found in an old farmhouse. I called the fellow who owned the house, asked if I could buy the table from him, brought it home, cut the legs down and, Voila! My cottage coffee table!

  • @auntcatziegler3791
    @auntcatziegler3791 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.
