    I think the glass roof idea is an inspiration, thank you Bunny, you are amazing and so kind to do these videos for all the garden lovers out here

    Ms. Bunny, you've done an excellent job, designing this place. I can't wait to see more of your work. I'd love to see some tutorials, as I really enjoy how in-depth you explain things. Thank you!

      I couldn't agree more. Not Unlike when she showed us the bottomless pots tutorial. I have been dreaming of ways to incorporate them into my own garden. Alas, we are in the middle of winter here in 🇨🇦, battling minus 20 degree weather but one can dream.

      Yes, and you do it without endlessly belaboring & explaining the same point using different words. So many on TH-cam do.

    Very very well designed & executed. The murals look extremely fresh for 20yrs, must be v sheltered. I love both gardens.

    Great to see the gardens you designed so long ago have been maintained so well and are maturing beautifully. Built-in seating is a real added bonus. I love the way you have transformed these small courtyard gardens into real gardens with usable space.

    Hi! These are some really smart solutions for creating gorgeous spaces! Loving all your videos but I’m truly amazed and inspired by these 2 examples. Looking for a new home with some garden to enjoy and all your tips are gold! 🙏🙏 Thanks so much for being so generous with your knowledge and experience. 🤗

    Thank you for showcasing these smaller spaces. What would normally be a patch of lawn edged with a boring, rectangular, narrow border, you have brought in interest and architecture and layers. So inspiring.

    Hehe - I think your fans would consider your arm twisting a lovely massage. You have a brilliant vista on structure and function that radiates the beauty of your concepts through the heart as well as the lanscape.

    As I live in the country I almost did not watch this particular Bunny video but what a mistake that would have been! Your inventiveness and joy at creating solutions to gardening problems is inspiring and made me laugh out loud. Please please keep making these videos.

  • @JoannaLouise200
    @JoannaLouise200 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love your instincts and inventiveness Bunny...the way you get an idea, and run with it. The trompe l'oeil garden mural is amazing, and the garden with the pergola constructions dramatizes and utilizes what could have been just a small back garden. People often forget that 'hard landscaping' forms the back bone of a garden, and I like the way you emphasize strongly this important aspect - which showcases beautiful planting.

    Such a joy taking in the essence of horticultural and architectural design from you Ms. Bunny! I appreciate you sharing your thought process in remedying challenging spaces; thereby creating magical 'rooms' your clients/friends enjoy for years to come! I am currently in the tech business but passionately desire to be a landscape architect. Once I become more stable financially, I will eventually take the leap. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I have recently discovered this channel and I really admire your design thinking. Its not just pretty garden TV, there's much to unpack in these videos. I find myself watching them multiple times and taking notes. I have a question for you as a gardener with access to so many interesting plants...How do you contain the plant collector's garden? How do you keep a garden full of interesting and varied plants from looking like a squirrel's hoard?

    so much interest is achieved within different levels. If it was my home you would have twisted my arm to install a glass roof.

    I learn so much from you and look forward to your videos. Q. The soil in my large containers lose several inches of soil from spring - fall and the plant/shrub lowers within the pot too sometimes 6 inches or more. How do I maintain the plants proper height and soil level? Thank you again for a wonderful video today and your inspiration

      Hi, I’ve just noticed the garden is on TH-cam and you can see the glass roof in the garden there. The video is called ‘willow flower beds made by Sue Kirk’ and is a bit from the BBC Chelsea program from 2011. Hope you like it!

  • @inglishhomeandgarden8386

    I love what you did with both these tiny gardens.
    The 'Venice' garden is amazing!
    Especially with tiny gardens, good garden design becomes scenography.
    .
    Your idea with that glass roof/floor would be a win-win solution.
    I assume you would mount it with a slight inclination, to lead rain away from the house?
    Would it be an idea to run a strip of gauzy cloth underneath the glass floor,
    like a visual 'gangway'?
    I would perhaps, psychologically, prefer to step out onto at least a frosted 'path'
    rather than a completely opaque 'void'.

    • @bunnyguinness
      @bunnyguinness  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Many thanks! Yes I would lay the glass to a very slight fall and I think instead of doing a huge sheet of glass would put a wide decking area around the outside and a big rectangle of glass in the middle. You are right with the glass floor/roof at Chelsea visitors were cautious about walking on it initially.. but some decking would reassure them. Keep watching and making suggestions please!

    Very LOVELY work on YOUR design part. (Shame the 2nd garden is so dingy; but a lot of TLC will do wonders.)
