I could sit and listen to you all day – you are my new favorite creator!!!! 💗🌷 thank you for sharing your wisdom
I don't think much about worrying about how to do or what to do. Gardening is about nature my connection to it. I just love to be in the garden anytime I want to. It just talk to me what needs to be done. We always have a conversation. I listen and it talks to me. It is a great teacher. We have our own language. Just go out to yr backyard with open heart and mind and take it from there. That's how I start. After 5 years I have been so happy to see what we both achieved together. Remember that we are part of nature. I am still learning and its so exciting. Go out plant a tree if you can plant a tree you know for sure how to live.
What is the name of the program you are using?
Adding the compass aspect to the garden plan is imperative. As it decides where you get sun and shade, thus affecting where you want to sit, where you want to grow as well as play. Add that before deciding on what areas go in what places.
Love your video!
My issue (and this is an issue that just exists in my head when I try to think of planning the space) is I live in a subdivision with a lot of front and side lawn. The space behind the house is smaller in comparison. There are not rules against gardening, but I can’t quite figure how to make all that area a big lovely wild garden without offending the neighborhood that has traditional landscaping.
Such a lovely video, thank you! I’ve been stuck in my own small rectangular yard that has a few challenges inherited when we purchased the home. We have a lack of privacy from the house at the back and our yard slopes sharply down to our back fence, It eats up about 6 ft and is a mess of very large basalt rock. Then there are our 4 Greyhounds…😂 my cottage garden dreams have to be integrated a little at a time!
Very thoughtful and helpful ideas thanks
Such great inspiration in this video! My "problem" is that we have a corner lot so our front and side yard is the big space, where our back yard is just a strip running the length of the house… Its hard to imagine these kinds of private spaces when we are fully exposed, and I don't necessarily want to make a whole wall of privacy screening. But I am inspired! Thank you for sharing these tips!
Great designs 🙂 Do you have any ideas of how to add interest to a home fruit tree orchard with plants, flowers, shrubs etc that can complement the orchard visually? We have a small apple orchard and a small citrus orchard (20 or so trees per orchard). Or any other ideas to bring beauty to a fruit tree orchard other than the trees themselves? Thank you very much!!!
Would you draw me something up if I sent you pictures??? I’d pay!
"It's all experimental". My gardening motto.
This was fabulous! I have a large front lawn sloping slightly downward towards the road and thinking about adding a section or two of wildlife meadow. Suggestions on creating one would be wonderful

I know this is random but I love your makeup. It look so natural and pretty. Please share what lippie you use if possible!
This woman is gorgeous!
I love cottage gardens!
Amazing!
I just got one of my succulents pots trimmed: https://youtube.com/shorts/0Dlfz-VhSX4?feature=share
Great video. But the fact you struggled to gove an example of where we can observe nature and then were only able to provide parks is really sad. We need to do better conservatikn work.
Awesome! Loved it!
Fantastic video! 👏🏻 Thank you 🌿
Hi 🙂 Just found your channel. For the moment I live in an apartment and just have a small patio that is 10.5 feet length and 4 feet depth. Most direct sun in the morning then shade for the rest of the day. I love Wild English gardens. Do you have any videos that I could watch for inspiration for small patios? I love your format and engagement! Thank you for sharing your passion!
I don’t understand why we’re looking at you more than we’re looking at a garden. We should be looking at plans and flowers and listening to you not staring at you when we’re talking about gardens.
You’re freaking hot!!! Like I’m having a hard time paying attention lol.
I’m loving your videos my question is what do you do about mosquitoes? We live in a somewhat wooded area and the mosquitoes here are horrible. I can’t go outside after dusk and who wants to smell like bug spray? Lol
