- James Alexander Sinclair and Ann Marie Powell are two of the most respected garden designers in the UK and they're also my friends. They came round to visit my new garden to hear about my plans and to offer some garden design advice of their own. Lots of discussion points here in amongst the madcap antics. Apologies for the sound - these two can make me shout.

Brilliant! 😂 Great banter between old, dear friends. I’m looking forward to hearing their thoughts and opinions as the project progresses. Hard work and exciting times ahead!
Joe is sooo funny! I love his faces when James and Ann Marie are "chattering." LOL! You guys need your own show--it would be so hilarious!! And, of course, super creative!
Oh Joe this was bloody brilliant 😂 💚💚💚 loved every minute x
That was fun to watch, and lovely the interaction with your friends. Its so much fun, sorting out a new garden.
Loved this Joe,what a great trio,whatever your garden ends up like,it'll be your slice of heaven,can't wait to share this journey with you,thanks for inviting us all .
LOVE the banter.
Always great to get input from gardening friends who can make some inspired suggestions & second your own ideas.
😂😂😂 brilliant. Fun with friends 🥰
Brilliant video, thank you for sharing.
Ref the pond - the best way to keep the grandchildren safe is surely to teach them how to behave around water. Plus as you know the frogs, toads and hopefully newts will be great at keeping the slugs under control in the veg garden.
Love it Joe!!!!! You are all so funny!!!! Gardeners should laugh and joke! It is how we see the world! We are happy people! You are going to do amazing things Joe!!!!Can't wait to be with you on your journey!!!!! Yay!!!! ✨❤🌹🌺🌻🏵💮🌱🌷🌼
Watch The Quarry Gardener. She has every kind of wildlife going, including deer. It hasn't stopped her from making a truly wonderful space.
It reminds me of when my mum and dad visited my first house and me trying to justify what I was doing, mum constantly saying isn’t it lovely and dad holding back thinking something else…!!! …Joe raising his eyes too 😂 what a great video to watch
Don't listen to Ann Marie about too much work. I've had a 2 acre garden for 25 years. I love it because there is always room to play! Enjoy!
The apple tree looks perfect for grandchildren to climb. Risk and challenge facilitates learning. Lots of fun.
Hi Joe loved to see Ann Marie loved her gardening techniques watched Ann all the time ! Love every minute lv Irene 😘 xx
Brilliant video, made me chuckle with all your banter. I can't wait to see what is next on your "To do list"
So funny. I can tell y’all are good friends. I’m here to watch what you do with your beautiful garden! ❤️😊
With friends like these you don’t need enemies. lol. That was great. Blessings
I like your videos so far. I used the idea I learned from you of printing a picture of my property from Google Earth. I purchased tracing paper to draw on and now I can get a better idea of how my design will look.
Siete meravigliosi. Best ever start to my day.
That was great fun, love those two but you do you! 😂 hope to see more of them, can’t wait to see what happens next! ❤️
What fun 😊 Great to see all the ideas and advice being given and your reactions...This is why no two gardens are alike and shows how individual our gardens can be....can't wait to see the progress.
What a treat. Great way to start a Sunday morning 😊
love the banter. Seriously, I think they're right, Joe.😊
Really entertaining and some good advice for us all within that banter. BBC needs to commission this now, its a great blend of Gardeners World/Countryfile/Last of the Summer Wine.
So happy for you! It's so sad that Adam had to leave his.
Yes, you have some beautiful trees and land! Sounds like fun and creative times ahead!
What a great video - such fun with friends….but great advice for us viewers 😉 Looking forward to the next one ❤
Great banter Joe. Like you can’t wait for things to get under way.😀
Your channel just popped up this morning on my feed! So happy to see you! Will now go back and watch all your videos from the beginning. Can't wait to see what you do with your amazing new/mature garden and look forward to picking up tips along the way. 🎉
Well, I’m subscribing! What a great journey this will be! I’m so looking forward to it. ❤
Love from one of your 4 subscriber 😂😂.am delighted that you are on ytube now .
Good point on rewilding that even 2 acres is too small a space to 'rewild' BUT we can all garden to help wildlife (senstive planting, wildflowers, leaving some untidy spaces, provide nesting, food, water). It doesnt just mean letting the garden go to wrack and ruin it still needs a human hand to edit and manage (garden it). Great channel, hope Ann-Marie and James have subscribed.
Brilliant video. Three legends of the garden design world - I love the incisive design terms like Ann Marie Powell asking if you're going to "rip it all out and bodge it"😅
How Fun Joe! I just loved this!
Loved this. What an amazing garden 😊
So lovely to see the fun and friendship between the three of you. Also so interesting to see the three of you have some similar and some very different ideas for your garden.
I love it. I will get caught up here this week on all your past videos. The 2 acres look lovely. I am excited to see what you do with them. I have always wanted to get in on the “ground floor” of a vlog garden.
That was brilliant thank you for sharing 😅😊
It’s such a beautiful garden! Something I can only dream of! I am very excited about what you are going to do, and I’m delighted you’re taking us along. As a mom, I agree about the pond. Wait until the kids are bigger!
Never invite gardener friends to your new garden…😂
That said this was a wonderful video and should be picked up by the BBC.
I have a big garden and 10 years later I tackle a section at a time like that part is my only garden. Sooner or later it starts to gel together. Lovely garden Joe. You need some workers in there that don’t give design advice. You know what you are doing 👍👍
😂😂 James the judge and his sharp eye...comment feature arch especially with the baroque grill😅 Hilarious....I got say we could be witness to the next G=W new home. Well done all Ann-Marie such a great character...Fair play gardeners are such nice people 👏
Very funny ending 😂
So great to see you having such fun but one plea- Please rake those leaves from the wild garden if you still want the orchids and finer grasses to get through.... I'd hate you to be disappoiinted in what comes up........
Don’t worry Charlie!
Most entertaining video Joe and I’m looking forward to following your journey and as for a pond it can wait till you grandchildren are older and by the look of it you have plenty to be getting on with for a long time yet 😂
We are patiently waiting for your next video Joe! We know you are working out in the garden 🙂🙃🙂🙃
😂 AMP and JAS are in their element! This reminded me of "take three gardeners" and " real gardens".
Love watching you. Our soil is sandy and acidic. I use raised bed for veggies and I grow hundreds of herbs. Added over the years, organic chicken coop muck outs and horse compost and tons of mushroom compost. I now have awesome soil after many years.
Hahaha very good Joe. Crack on with the work there as I've just landed myself an acre with very similar features, blocks of small pointless unthinned trees, heaps of empty lawn surrounded by beautiful mature trees in various states of neglect. Need to assess everything once we're in but I'd really appreciate watching you "make mistakes" before I do 😂 Only been gardening 7 years. I think Ann was right about deep pockets, we scale up the land but never think of the scaled up cost 😂 A 5m path turns into a 100m path with two 5m thick borders. Oh no problem at all 😳😳😳
Brilliant!!! Loved this some real banter going on but deep down you know they’re as excited as you are for what’s to come. Regarding the grass I’d get the Arsenal groundsman in 😉
Fantastic video, I for one am looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds 🤩👌 good banter, nice to see you all together in a non organised telly situation, just relaxed and having fun 😅
We too hesitated over a garden pond for safety reasons, and now I don’t think we have the energy to maintain. However, I am planning a rain garden flowing from a rain water tank. Maybe this is worth thinking about as you plan your drainage?
The thing is, you ask ten experts and each one of them will have a different idea. You really need to go with what makes you happy and there will be mistakes along the way. As James said in the beginning, no point in getting stressed about it. An expat in Florida.
So funny. Not sure how helpful it was but great banter! You are so going to enjoy yourself in this garden.
Joe your a gold Chelsea winner, take no notice of the RHS judges 🤣🤣no silver gilt with the way your ideas are looking for your garden, great video... ,Steve
Enjoyed video looking forward to watching you in the garden
Loved the banta Joe with your special guests. Very funny.
I’m with you on the fencing-we don’t want to fence our garden. We have deer and rabbits and were pretty concerned initially, however 2 years on they really haven’t been as much of a problem as we thought. We quite enjoy hearing the call if the deer at night and the occasional glimpse too. We are embracing the wildlife now and it really adds to the garden.
I look forward to the greenhouse tour. And I’m really enjoying the channel!
Greenhouse tour! It’s about 2m x 2.5m!
Very entertaining and fun 🌳🌳
Light tinkly bells hanging between branches or posts are a great deer deterrent. The one night we forget to set them up, and the deer are in. This is roe and fallow
Superb! Made me wish I could be walking around with you just for the company. In a way we were!
Yeah, the hard landscaping, improving drainage, tree & plant removal etc is going to occupy you for quite some time. You have deer🦌, we have kangaroos 🦘Gardening & kangaroos are completely incompatible here & I’ve no doubt you’ll find it so with deer eventually. You either have a deer park or a garden. I’ll be interested to see how that fancy plays out in the long term.
Pity about the telecommunications mast in the middle of the vista behind Anne Marie.
Can’t have everything- I strategic have plans to block it visually from key angles
Joe! You have got to have a hay meadow! 😊Their nearly coming to the point of extinction in Britain!😢
What fun watching dear friends walk around your new garden. Wonderful video Joe. Its cold in Nova Scotia -12 c so great to see a garden !
Love your visitors great fun but I’m afraid you’ll need deer proofing of some kind cos they’ll drive you mad cos they’ll eat everything in winter 🙈
Very entertaining! 😅 But it looks like a lot of work...😊
Wait for the summer before making a decision
Oh dear, deer. Definitely need some fencing. Some advice from Scotland 😂
Is ‘Charlie’ Charles Quest Ritson?
Fun 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Naughty friends !
Hilarious!😂
Hilarious! 😂😂😂😂
Good belly laugh
Great video but would have liked to see more scribbling
Oh there’ll be more! X
Friends 😂
That was really funny, but don't think you'll bother with anything they said 😂😂
Well, there is no deadline... you've got everything already there and no deadline. Besides, all gardening is really just a matter of selective elimination.
Nope, weeds like nettles does not belong in my garden, I fight those every day.
😂😂
