  • Filmed over 20 years ago… This video sees Bunny makes over her younger sister’s small London garden with a firm brief: low maintenance, easy, hide the neighbours and a place to entertain that is easy on the eye. The initial weedy patch surrounded by old larchlap panels, and on view to the house it backs onto. Bunny uses home made trellis, fake doors with a trompe l’oeil to create the feel of ‘extra ‘ space, removes the grass and creates a simple paved garden.

    Loved this makeover - how about a video showing the garden now in 2023? Please Bunny!!

      She’s probably moved a few times since owning this house .

      She became a drunk, accidentally set the house on fire and the garden was destroyed. On the up side it’s now entirely maintenance free.

    I'm no Bunny, but this brief between Bunny and her sister is so similar to a lot of conversations I have with family. 😅

    What a change! My favorite part was when you called your sister a toad. I would like to see what it looks like now but I bet she moved. Another great video Bunny. Thank you.

    Love everything but especially the door at the back of the garden and the fineals.

    What a terrific way to disguise a long, thin garden behind a Victorian Row House. It looks so chic and in keeping with the style of the house. The faux back gate and trellis surround do so much for the space. Your sister is lucky to have you yo help her, but I did have to laugh. Just like my sister, left to her own devises, there is a patch of weeds and not much else.

    You are very gracious Bunny. I hope your Sister can make the time to stop and smell the roses.

    The trees completely changed the space. Before, your sister's garden was like a fish bowl. Now, I don't notice the neighbor's house behind her at all. Beautiful transformation!

    What a stunning transformation! ~ that certainly is a beautiful cohesive trellis structure, wonderful paving and ingenious planting. As a gorgeous classic design, it is timeless and would enhance any garden today, 20yrs on. Sofia is lucky to have you as her sister Bunny :)

    Yes, definitely need an update, even if you have to knock on the door if there are different owners! We need to see what twenty years has done. Beautiful transformation. Love the use of lighter trellis on the darker solid fencing.

    Haha love how different Bunny and Sofia. One completely in the family tradition of horticulture and the other rebelling against it
    Re. her garden; if someone can afford a place like that in London, they can get a gardener in for a half day a week to do all that needs doing to keep it looking great.

    beautiful garden in a small space - I love clematis. But watching from Australia, I always cringe when I see ivy planted - it is such a curse in my small regional town. Has the fashion for it changed after 20 years, or does it not become a massive pest in the UK?

    • @walksthroughlife900
      @walksthroughlife900 11 місяців тому

      It's native to UK. Invasive to places other than Europe.

    I'm sorry, this shall not last long. Give your sister a concrete garden with a rock in the corner. As with all of your work, this is beautiful. I just don't believe your sister shall ever invest any time in caring to appreciate your skill and talent.

  • @rwight3611

    Hire a gardener once a week or every two weeks.

    @annieterminetschuppon7232 11 місяців тому

    What a rude client to deal with. You are offering your incredible knowledge, just asking for an hand which can help the client to invest interest in her garden then, she turned you down for a working appointment 😮

  • @cmnr8487
    @cmnr8487 11 місяців тому +1

    sounds like she wants something nice without doing any work, I bet it fell in disrepair right away, she seemed too lazy to take care of anything, and didn't even want to help put it together. I'd of left her mid-way with the mess.

  • @giennefarcais6834
    @giennefarcais6834 11 місяців тому +2

    Have you ever had a real client that was so down on gardening? She seemed so opposed to every aspect. I found this to be sad.

    • @merrim7765
      @merrim7765 11 місяців тому +1

      Right? She seems incredibly intimidated and convinced every plant she touches will die. Ironically, all they want is a drink of water and they'll thrive!

  • @patriciapatricia9040
    @patriciapatricia9040 11 місяців тому

    I don’t know why anyone plants ivy. It is so invasive and will overtake the entire garden in no time. Such a destructive plant. It chokes out & kills everything including trees.

  • @neillambert8713

    God her sister is a bit negative. How hard can it be to water some plants.🙄
