Fab video Alexandra! What stunningly beautiful gardens at Cloudshill ~ the result of incredibly hard work and very clever planning. I can imagine sitting there, taking stock, and soaking it all in (I hope Jeremy Francis gets a chance to!). I love your highlighting of the role of hard-landscaping in order to showcase the wonderful border planting, trees & hedge forms. Built garden structures seemed to have slipped out of fashion for a while, and I'm so glad they're now making a comeback :)

Good afternoon Alexandra, what a magnificent garden. Such beautiful plants, trees and the hedges in each section. This is so well planned and much thought put into selecting these plants. I am sure a few changes have been made, nothing is perfect to start off with, yet, look at the outcome. It is so inviting, and peaceful. I think the big trees help by controlling the noise level from any angle. I do not think there is any improvement here, it looks so completed and the goal has been reached. Adding the potted up terracotta pots just adds more interest. It is a lovely video, and yes more than one viewing should be done. Thank you for showing and sharing, I am sure many appreciated and enjoyed this. Do take care, many blessings, kind regards.

Love your videos. So informative. One of my favorite videos is of the Moskovitz garden (How to get a Wow Border). I have followed much of Frances’ advice - lots of horse manure from a local farm, propagate plants from seed, plant closely, deadhead often (or at least I try), and not pay too much attention to color schemes. The Moskovitz tips work for me in my garden in Massachusetts.

What is particularly great about this example, is the layering - so inspiring and so well executed --- leveraging evergreens and tree marcescence. That is something we should be doing more of, even in more informal spaces (like mine). BTW I think it also useful to note, that many of these plants (same genus, different species) could be worked into our spaces to achieve these goals. For example, the Japanese plum yew can even be grown in the Northeast US Zone 6 - and gold-tipped cultivars like Korean Gold, could be used to bring out the yellow of plants in those spaces.
@TheMiddlesizedGarden

Yes, I agree, it was interesting when I was checking the 'hardy down to...' facts as to how many of them would grow in really quite cool climates. Agree with you about the layering, too, I really loved that.

Structure to break up the monotony of a fence line . I lost the African Daisy due the severe heavy frost in December which obscured the fence , so have to wait a few years before it regrows to the same height . Another trick is trellis shapes ( square or V ) . I place these for my climbing roses and the tops of the wooden fence . These need to be preserved on a regular basis ( linseed oil is the best option as it keeps the natural wood colour )

@gardenjoy5223
@gardenjoy5223 Год назад
The structures are nice. Love the paths and the arches. Yet, somehow, this garden is a bit too 'messy' for my personal taste. There's too much competing with each other. I like to allow more very low plants at the edges and also some in between. So plants get to stand out a bit more to glory in and of themselves. Those six cut of hedges look weird in this construct. Or any, for that matter. Then again, the difference in foliage colour makes this interesting. Love the dark red trees!

When Don Burke came back to Australia from his trip to North America and changing the pronunciation of certain words was quite novel in the beginning. But honestly, I'm over it. I find it quite annoying actually. No disrespect intended x 🌺🌸💮💜🙏😇🇦🇺🕊️

I'd never consider the way I pronounce words to be correct - having grown up around different English-speaking cultures (US and 'English' English) and also interacting with other different English-speaking cultures (Australian, US, Canadian, English,Scottish, Irish and regional variations etc) on RU-vid, I'd just count it as a win if someone actually understands what I'm talking about!

@@TheMiddlesizedGarden that cracked me up. You truly are a marvellous woman. I just read my comment and didn't even mention any of the words. I have to admit that I was surprised that a British subject such as yourself opted for the USA version. I have mentioned this topic in comment to the RU-vid channel 'The Gardening Symplified Show'. I have also noticed different Americans, not just in the gardening world opt to start pronouncing certain words in the original English pronunciation which is refreshing I have to admit. No harm intended ever with any of my comments to anyone but I do have strong opinions on certain subjects. I am so grateful to all the RU-vid channels that I regularly follow for their content. So, so much better than anything on TV. I don't watch TV and realised last night during a talk from one of our church pastors that I stopped watching TV very early on around the time I became a teenager. I don't even own a TV. I'm quite happy to just sit here with my little phone although I can't sit still for too long. I often pause something I might be watching to get up and fuss with something either inside or out. I'm a Spirit filled born again Christian as I have obeyed the one true gospel of Jesus the Christ to be born again of water and of the Spirit. Water is baptism by full emersion at an age of understanding and Spirit is to receive Gods gift of the Holy Ghost and Fire with the Holy Bible scriptures evidence of speaking in an unknown tongue as the Spirit gives utterance just like on the day of Pentecost. I could elaborate further but the Sun is up and my garden beckons me. Much love to you dear Alexandra x 💜💚😇🙏🇦🇺🕊️
