Turning a square piece of grass into my dream cottage garden 🌱

- From the beginning to now, here is a look back at my journey to creating my dream cottage garden. I have a small semi-detached garden, and it began as a simple square piece of grass. Over the years, I have layered on and created my dream space. It is always evolving and changing, and I am excited to plan for the season ahead. My growing x zone is 8, and I am on the east coast of Ireland.

Your ‘cheat’ for the brick floor inside your greenhouse is genius. 😊
AW, glad you liked it x
I just said the same thing out loud to myself! I am so stealing that!
Can you explain how you created that? I just love it!
I'm wondering of it's waterproof. It looks stunning.
😍😍😍
People are always asking me when my garden is going to be done. Never. Some projects will be completed but there is no actual done with the garden. You’re doing a lovely job with your garden. I added a special patio for yoga and meditation. Will feel completely walled by greenery in a few more years.
I love the sound of your yoga/meditation area in your garden, such a good idea.
That sounds amazing and I totally agree!! I said to my 14 yr old “wait till you see the garden this year” She said you say that every year & I told her that’s because it’s never done 😂
That’s my favorite thing about gardening. It’s constantly growing and shifting and changing. ❤
I recently heard someone say that if you don’t have bugs in your garden, then it’s not part of the ecosystem 🐛
It’s amazing how much you have accomplished in truly a short time. I’ve been working on my garden for over 20 years…still learning, still moving plants around. As our friend Monty Don would say, a garden is not a place, it’s a journey. Just gotta love him 😁. Blessings in the New Year!
Yes I LOVE that saying, so so true x
Two to three years? Only?? Wow!! You have created a beautiful garden paradise in such a short time! 💚
Thank you! Iv been here 10 years, but most of the work in the back was from 2020 x
What a fairytale garden.
You’ve worked so hard and your garden is giving back in abundance. Wishing you a Happy New Year Catherine 🥳
Happy new year sweetheart! X
Thank you for this video. I’m sitting here in Ohio, USA, watching it snow. I’m sooo ready for Spring and this video was a breath of fresh air. It boosted my mood.
Wow! After watching your videos since just before COVID, you've made an amazing transformation in your garden Catherine! Especially this past year, it seems, because everything you had started in previous years seemed to come into it's own, and then the raised beds added so much more definition and interest. Your flowers are gorgeous, the way you've embellished your cement walls with the mirrors and faux brickwork....it's all a visual feast for the eyes. You've given us hours of happiness watching you garden in your lush, green garden in Ireland while we're still bogged down in snow here in Canada most winters. I'm so happy I found your channel! Best wishes for the coming gardening year.
Aw thank you so so much for the lovely comment! Im so happy with how it has come along, and excited for the. new year x
Hello my dear. I have watched your garden grow for some time now. I love your greenhouse and all the colors you have in the garden. Just like you, I started my indoor plants during the pandemic. I started the garden many years ago. I love the projects you create since I love projects in the garden also. I enjoy watching. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍👍
This past year I have learned how much working in the garden feeds my soul. There is something about it that I can’t quite but into words but I do know that it is something I need to do. It just brings me such joy! Thanks for sharing your journey it’s always so much fun watching how your garden has evolved over time.
Yes, it is like medicine for the soul! Happy new year sweetheart x
We moved house last July and now have a pretty large garden for which I have lots of plans - first time greenhouse owner and it's full to capacity already. Thanks for the inspiration - cottage garden is exactly what I'm looking for.
This year I am focusing on a healing garden with herbs, plants, and statues that represent positive healing. I am thinking of lights entwined with lavender, rosemary and peace flags. 💗
Adore this idea 👏🏻🙏🏼
I love the sponged on bricks, beautiful garden
My garden win was pulling out tons of Jimson weed which was taking over (from previous owner), reviving the lawn, which had been destroyed by dogs, and starting a garden, a dream of mine since childhood. I hope to just keep adding more and more because there’s still lots of blank space. I’m mainly aiming for edible perennials and native plants. 💕
Wow! It is so pretty! Your hard work pays off. Flowers and your garden look beautiful!
Simply SPECTACULAR 💚
PS: I'm with you ~ I only wanted perennial flowers, flowers and flowers in our front & backyard garden 💐
The last two nights I’ve fallen asleep thinking about what all I want to plant and where. For some reason your videos haven’t been popping up like they used to, but as soon as I saw this one today I immediately clicked to watch. I always love your content, especially the garden ones. I can’t wait to see what all you plant this year!
Soon the brave snowdrops will appear, peeping through the cold brown earth. So much more than a small, white bell. Courage, purity and hope in such a delicate flower. Happy New Year to you and planet earth 🌳 and indeed to gardeners everywhere. 🌱🍃☘️
I am so so happy at the thought of the snow drops appearing x
Oh I'm here for this. I have so much enjoyed watching your garden develop. My favourite episodes were tackling the spider shed, what a transformation! And the greenhouse and raised beds. You have created an oasis that I am so envious of 😁
Haha, remember the spider shed!
Ive never been so intrigued in someones journey as i have yours, ive never planted anything before but im going to give it a go for this summer as have moved into a new home and would like to make it more homey and pretty for my family, this video helped ALOT xo
Congratulations on the new home x
Hi I've been watching your channel for months from the USA NC. You and your content gives me great joy!! And Just now I was watching when my signed book arrived. Love This!! Have a Beautiful Week. Just wanted to say hello and Thanks for all you do on your channel.
I am so so happy it arrived, all the way to NC x
You can also order packages of live ladybugs/other beneficial insects as a natural pest solution!
It’s absolutely gorgeous…❤❤❤
It's amazing how much work you've put into your dream garden. You are so resourceful and skillful! I love the result 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
Loved this, your voice is sooooo soothing, Thanks for sharing your garden journey!
Your garden is really beautiful and it is just so enchanting...
First time visiting this site. Your voice is so soothing and real to listen to while you give us a tour of your garden. Beautiful.
You are hands down my FAVORITE gardener. 🤍🤍🤍. I bet your Dad is smiling down on you and your beautiful yard. You’ve come a long way Dainty 🤍🤍🤍
I am really impressed with your garden full of flowers, they are very diverse and beautiful. 🌷
I've been here since the bare patch of grass...slowly building your own magical space has been so inspiring to watch!
You’ve done so much work!!!
Oh my goodness, how beautiful your flower garden is!
My garden lesson is about the importance of improving your soil quality by working in compost, coconut peat, vermiculite and then mulching regularly afterwards.
I am planning on building a garden pathway with gravel surrounding broken pieces of concrete that are meant to act as stepping stones.
this is a wonder podcast. I love her garden. It is beautiful!
Wow 🤩
Aww, how beautiful!
Эпидемия ковида внесла большие изменения и в мою жизнь. Садоводство стало самой большой отдушиной. После напряжённой и нервной работы работа в саду успокаивает и отвлекает от всех проблем. Чтобы сад не выглядел зимой неприглядно, может быть стоит подумать посадить побольше декоративных трав. Процветания вашему саду😊
Gorgeous!
Isn't it WONDERFUL to watch the video (almost in fast forward) because you show a LONG road with the garden in the short video. You've done well - it looks so lovely - a real happy place.
I absolutely loved this video! I really wish I had a yard I could work in to see God's beauty appear!
I enjoy your videos so much!!!
Love, love, love your garden !
Beautiful💖
My garden lesson for this year was to give myself grace throughout this new process, as I just started a flower garden for the first time this past year. I am going to make mistakes, and that’s perfectly fine and part of it!
Yes, grace, I love this word. Gardening humbles us, Mother Nature is the best teacher x
It had been a joy to watch, over the years, your little yard come to life with such beauty. You have learned and taught us so much in your secret garden. Thank you!
Oh your flower garden is so wonderful 💓💓💓👍
Oh how lovely! I so enjoyed watching you design and plant your wonderful gardens. I agree, we are NEVER done....as we continue to learn, change and grow! I look forward to more of your beautiful videos!
What a fine green thumb you got! And what a paradise you have made!
Beautiful
Love the brick stamp idea!!!
Thank you for sharing a bit of you! 💕💕💕
OMG, how cozy and how dreamy....
Thank you, Catherine. I really appreciate you making these videos for us. I find them so calming and they help me to relax (working two jobs and consulting for a third). It's the mental escape that I need.
Just love your cottage garden and how it has involved every year. Keep sharing you garden journey with us! 👍🏻💕🇺🇸
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year 🎉
Oh! You have to be so proud of yourself, it’s a lovely journey, a life project.
Can’t wait to see what you doing this next year🤩
Absolutely amazing❤
Catherine your beautiful garden has established it's style. Eyes immediately travel to the tall greenhouse surrounded by pots of plants and trees. Raised beds full of colorful flowers waiting to be cut. Beds full of bulbs and tall sunflowers. Fresh mowed grass and big lawn chairs to relax with a cup of tea when your work is done. Where you marvel at the birds and butterflies and turn you face to the warm sun. Light up the greenhouse and have a Blessed and Happy New Year 2024.
Awww this is such a sweet comment! Thank you Donna, Happy new year x
Ohhhh, your channel brings me so much joy❤
What a Beautiful garden 🪴
Thank you kindly x
I’m so happy TH-cam recommended this video to me! Your garden is lovely and I enjoyed the video style - felt like chatting with a girlfriend over coffee ☺️ I’m an amateur gardener in zone 6 in the States, but I’m addicted. I love it so much and agree that a garden is never fully “done” (and surprisingly that doesn’t bother me one bit haha!) Keep up the great work 💛
Aw I am so glad you found me x
What an absolutely dreamy cottage garden!
Catherine, you are so talented and creative with your beautiful home and garden. You've accomplished so much. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a great New Year and all the best for 2024!!
You are so kind, thank you for your lovely words, Happy new year x x
I always enjoy your gardening videos. You've worked very hard to create a gorgeous backyard.
Lovely garden!
lovely lovely garden
I liked seeing your guiness crate. Happy days! You know you've made it as a gardener when the birds visit. Like you i relax when i'm out in the garden, which gets more care than my cottage!
I LOVE seeing your garden evolving over the years. I’m currently working on a cottage style garden in the front of my house.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your garden. Your right a Garden is never done. still working after 25 years.
Love the colors n the greenhouse❤
It's a beautiful garden.
Beautiful little yard
i live in Texas and we have a wonderful season for wildflowers. I strive for an english style garden but with a western flair. Lots of bluebonnets, paint brushes, mexican hats, and indian blankets to name a few annuals. Lots of salvias/sages, turks caps, etc for perennials. We do well with roses too here.
Happy New Year, Catherine and the world. Wishing everyone the best. x
Love Your Garden ❤❤❤, Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
It hard to believe your garden has only been growing 2 or 3 years! You’ve done a brilliant job with it! Thanks for sharing your tips.
So nice of you, thank you! Happy new year x
Very beautiful garden!
Time to begin the winter sowing!
This was such a treat to watch your journey to a whimsical garden ❤ cant wait to see it full and lush in the future
ワクワクするお庭😍
Love your videos. Thanks😊❤
Catherine, you have such a lovely garden. Thank you for sharing.
This garden is stunning! This would be my goals if I ever got my own house :)
That is so kind of you x
Would love to see a how to clean and disinfect your garden tools and any other tips. Your videos are so helpful not to mention absolutely gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful I love it! Hope you have a beautiful year full of everything you love! 🥰🥰🥰❤️
I love The sneezeweed which you might call her a Hellenium
Thank you for sharing your joyful journey with us! It's beautiful!
❤ Happy New Year Catherine
If you plant calendula, the aphids will gravitate to that and pretty much leave everything else alone. Calendula is an aphid magnet. 🌼☺️
Such a beautiful garden!!
Than you, that is so kind x
My big win in the garden last year was that, when I needed to relocate my tomato plant plot, I decided not to dig up more grass but simply to create a no-dig bed. It was so easy to do and I felt I was feeding the soil with the decomposing sod instead of ripping it out and losing a lot of soil - and had very few weeds! My hope this year is that the tulip bulbs my daughter brought back from a stop over in Schiphol Airport on her way back to the US come up 🙂
Amazing transformation!!!❤❤❤
So beautiful Catherine, always lovely.
Gorgeous 💚💚💚
Thank you! 😊
Very Pretty! Well done.
I love your garden! It’s gorgeous!
Your garden is beautiful. I love how you have so many little decor items around your yard.❤️
You take care of your garden so well, it's beautiful!☺
Gorgeous.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful vlog!
