Matilda Goad's imaginative, low maintenance city garden | House & Garden

- Cobblestones inspired by a London mews street, borders made from reclaimed railway sleepers found on eBay, hedging which gives the space the feel of a secret garden, and planting that looks verdant all year round without a blade of grass in sight. In the fourth episode of our renovation video series 'Evolution of a Home' Matilda Goad takes us through the sparkling, unusual design of her garden.
As a novice gardener Matilda's brief to the garden designer Butter Wakefield was that the space had to be low maintenance but with some hardy flowers for cutting and bringing indoors, plenty of space for long summer lunches with friends and, crucially, a dash of the same character and whimsy that Matilda has applied to the interiors of her home.
'The Evolution of a Home with Matilda Goad' is a brand new renovation video series from House & Garden packed with ideas to copy. In 2018 House & Garden began following the renovation of the British designer and creative consultant Matilda Goad's new home. Our aim was to create a series charting the journey of a house over a period of years, to reassure people decorating their own homes that it doesn’t happen overnight. That creating a layered, interesting interior is something that happens in stages, and that those stages aren't always linear or smooth.
Tune in on Friday November 26 for Episode 5: Matilda's Design Process and Sourcing. If you can't wait until then read our story on Matilda's home:

I loved her whole house and now i love her garden aswell. She is such a charming person. I want to be friends with Matilda Goad.
Right? She obviously comes from great privilege, but she has a genuine, down-to-earth quality.

me too!
The moment I say "gardendesigner" my wallet empties from shock.
Love the garden!!! Enjoy.
LOVE the snaking garden. Would be so fun to play in as a child; you’d feel that you’re in your own little world, off from the grownups.
I think what I find so refreshing is the mentions of budget restriction and or usage of IKEA or otherwise. It's been so nice to have that realistic touch serve as ACUTAL inspiration for our own spaces.
I love this woman. So thoughful and creating space she connects to, vs. what we in Canada see, cookie-cutter white and gray spaces. Please bring more like these!
I’m Canadian and British and this is what keeps me in the U.K. - I love the quirkiness of people’s homes and especially their gardens here. Gardening is a national pastime! I think with my family in the GTA part of the problem is that so much of the year it’s either too hot or too cold to spend too much time outside. Of course, we’re also blessed in the U.K. to have perfect conditions for gardening: summers with long daylight hours, mild winters, and lots and lots of rain so it’s not expensive at all to keep things watered.
I couldn't imagine your garden any other way. It is simply perfect! Everything is within scale and there is charm and mystery and the appropriate balance of color and greenery. Thanks so much, I have thoroughly enjoyed!!.
I love that you said' we had a budget' you got me at that, so often you see wonderful gardens with crazy budgets, your's is wonderful because of your budget
Love her style and personality. A little bit uncontrolled!
Wrong for you
I’m glad to see beautiful, rich, upper class people, finally getting a break in this crazy world.
I’ve watched this series 5 times, I love it!
Love the garden. The free, loose, and flowing style is the base of its beauty and charm. Ah! "Everyone let's all moved to the garden". 😉
I love this series!! Her home is sooo beautiful and welcoming
I'm sad this series is over, I loved every single room 😍🥺
Beautiful garden, love the winding aspect and how it's revealed over the cobbled walkway. Full of life and so green
Love them both. Thank you for being so generous with your advice. It really helps us folks x x
So many awesome ideas! I love the bath planter with the hydrangeas! And the lights painted red are so beautiful!
She is so good. Give her a show!
Very precious. Spare me.
My two favourite roses, Gertrude Jekyll and Munstead Wood, both vigorous and gloriously scented 🇬🇧
Matilda is amazingly talented and I love watching every episode!!
i am officially addicted to this channel now... and I absolutely love love Matilda's home.
What a charming secret garden! 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
So charming, whimsical, flowers, I love it all. So inspiring in so many ways. I need an outside sink too.

Fantastic Brilliant plantings and Beautiful flowers and beds
Made with passion ❤️
I love Matilda Goad and her style!!! 😍😍😍
A wonderful colorful and green extension of your home! Your garden is absolutely amazing! ❤️
Has Butter ever worked with bread? Hehehe. Can we just also acknowledge the great video….not sure about the music in the background though, did it really add anything? The exterior is such a fit with the interior. How divine.
I'm glad there was music, but think they could've made a better choice - some relaxed classical, maybe some slower jazz? this feels a bit like elevator music haha
Butter and Butter's jacket are the show stoppers/stealers here !!
This was so good, I really enjoyed this, so much inspiration, such a beautiful garden.
Oh,men... I love it, it's beautiful. I wish i was rich
So beautiful! 💛
LOVELY! So much color! All things beautiful... perfect video.
As usual Matilda’s taste/vision are perfection is❤
Stunning design!
just glorious!!!
How beautiful and so imaginative. Well designed Matilda and your friend. Love Valérie.
I love this series - more please 😊❤️
So good for the soul!
How beautiful 😍
It’s so pretty
Beautiful house and garden
I love the whole place!
What a wonderful place!
Omg I can’t wait for the next episode! As someone who sources for a living and for my videos. I can’t wait to see where she sources across the pond.
What is sourcing?
@@lynnharrell9598 basically shopping, it's going to vintage stores, fabric stores, furniture stores, and looking for items to design your home with ( or a clients home)
Beautiful♥️💕
So inspirational
Loved the garden, good job.😃
Love this series! This is amazing. Great design. Also she reminds me of the actress Lily Rabe (American Horror Story)
LOVE!
beautiful.
Just 😍😍😍😍… she can do no wrong.
Very lovely. 😊
Lovely
Oh my god can I just say I LOVE Butter's accent
How amazing! I've had lots of experience with butter too! On toast, on baked potatoes, in baking cakes and cookies, in ...... Yum! My only question is: since I love butter so much, why didn't I name my daughter Butter? That was a brilliant move by Butter's mom. Can you imagine her calling her daughter to come in the house: Oh, Butter! Butter! Wherefore art thou, Butter? I need you!" Wonder what the neighbors thought? :-)
I'm sure that's not her real name.....can guarantee it!!
Show!🍀
Rumah yang cantik dan taman yang menarik. Bagaimana bisa memiliki inspirasi yang luar biasa seperti ini? Saya sangat menyukai tentang rumah dan taman atau kebun
Hi. Love your garden and has been a massive inspiration to me for my new garden renovation. I've started to look into buying some sleepers and wondered if you used creosote sleepers and wondered if it's safe as most reclaimed ones are creosote?
I didn’t know birds nest in ivy. Lovely garden
exquisitely
Tell me, where did you source the bedrolls? I have one from Graham & Greene, but want a paler grey stripe. Love your posts!
Merci! Delicious...
Can we just see the garden for 2 min straight without interruptions of camera switch
i was entranced until butter poured MIRACLE GROW onto the plants. What an absolute shame. How about something organic like kelp or fish emulsion..c'mon..
Agree. And sincerely hope they aren’t using it on edibles!
If the fabulous Butter Wakefield visits you in your personal garden you are a fortunate soul.
Lovely garden!😍
Is the battler sink's legs made out of wood?
I love it
"Butter Wakefield" sounds like the parody of a British name
I found her accent to be more American with a slight British inflection and it turns out she's from Maryland. So funny that her name does indeed sound so British!
that ladies name is actually butter I'm dying
The parents called her Butter? When I told my daughter Margarine she fell about laughing...🙂
It is beautiful! However, railroad ties/lumber tends to be treated with creosote and not appropriate for food growing container building. So hope you have your pieces of railroad lumber tested before planting food plants in them!
I don't know if it is the case in the UK, but used rail ties in Canada are saturated in creosote, and, out of health and environmental concerns, are no longer commonly used in gardens and retaining walls.
What is creosote? I have a feeling that’s not the case in the U.K., as we have no shortage of health and safety laws haha
But tell me WHO, in their right mind, would tear all of that down and begin again?!?! Impossibly impossible. It was an oasis and lovely....now even more divine
We 👏need 👏more 👏Rita 👏Konig!!!!!!!!!!
😍
Hi what kind of music is that? it is so nice!
unfortunately the ivy can cause damage to a building, so what can we use instead that will encourage birds to nest in it ?
I am so obsessed with the series! Does anyone know where Matilda’s cream vest is from? The one at 4:41
It’s from Zara. I have to admit I bought it too, after watching this video!
@@sandys5083 Thank you! ☺️
the names of these people, oh my god
I love the garden, but why oh WHY do obviously wealthy people pretend to be on a tight budget?
On a tight budget means she haggled when it was 'bought from a Hungarian dealer' 😆
I've wondered about this too -- Matilda Goad seems like a big enough deal that surely they have money to not be so budget-conscious?? -- but have come to the conclusion that perhaps a big part of their budget was in all the structural changes of the house (to say nothing of buying the thing...), and the 'niceties' are where they have to get more creative. (Which sometimes means a better result!)
Everyone fixing up these houses is extremely wealthy so budgeting is a relative term. They budget. Roman Abramovich does not.
Natasha WHO CARE
@@mariac.gonzalez3041 it comes across as disingenuous because they are so obviously wealthy. It's grating and it stands out to me.
Is it possible to buy a land to build in Heidelberg?
lové eeeee🤍
She was great! Movie, not so much.
She's using mirclegro - 😱
Hey momma named her Butter
that lady's name is "Butter"?
Oooh… can we please get a list of the plants they used?
The video provides this information. Play the video again and you will see it.
@@Nicole-js7rb Yes, I could try to catch some of what they shared but I was looking for more of a complete list. Thanks!
Oh no, not Miracle-Gro!
Mr David Nicholls, deputy editor of ‘House and Garden’ (UK), designed a pictograph of stick-figure corpses, arranged in a numbered grid of equal columns and rows, upon a piece of paper. He then, with a pencil, filled in the lines between the bodies so as to outline a Swastika, laughing: “This game is called - Connect the Jews!”
Think this anecdote to be bullsh*t?
Ask him flat out to deny it.

Butter.
Butter ?
Don't use old wooden railway sleepers, they are carcinogenic!
Ah interesting !
Good share.
...why are they? Could you explain?
@@moonbeeps They contain creosote.
@@TheAcatoy So does a lot of plastic and a lot of things we use on a daily base. I think you do not know what you're talking about. It sounds extremely absurd.
My greenspaces mean the world to me. Don't know how else to put it. I also understand that 'garden' means something different to everyone. The garden here, for me has far tooi much cement which can never be translated to warmth or serenity, especially with a young child.
That said I respect her choices.
I don’t see any cement, just packing and pathways, which have been used in gardens far longer than lawns have.
@vanya A 'lawn' is not a garden. Plain and simple.
I understand the lights, but its actually bad for animals. Look up light pollution🙌 maybe you could just use them when your in the garden with Friends or something like that😊
Do you have this conversation with lamp posts too?

Am I the only one that didn't like the result??? Lots of wasted space. I've seen smaller gardens with more functionality.
Beautiful home but I wouldn't want an overlooked garden.
It isn't though, They keep saying its a secret garden cause everything is really high, you cant see anything from the outside.
I don't think breaking the space like that was a good idea. It makes it look so small. Besides, you want to see the wonderful dining area from the house but, of course, you can't because of the green walls in the middle.
It’s never a good idea to have the boundaries of your garden visible. Nothing makes it feel so small and restrictive and flat as that. Cover your fences, create little paths and borders, it gives the illusion of more space because there is more to EXPLORE.
