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.

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.

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!

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.

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. 👍👍👍👍

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.

Gosh. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your garden adventure and your interesting and motivating words. Thank you. What I'll do different in 2024 is installing hoops with nets over some of my raised beds ... the rabbits and deer had a grand graze and I hope to enjoy some of the produce this coming year. Thank you again.

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.

What you said about microclimates is so true. I live in a zone 12 but I can only grow really drought-resistant grasses and flowers in the summer months in the back garden. It's such a sun trap, everything bakes.

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. 💕

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 🙂

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.
