I found your channel just last week, I subscribe and hit like, now I'm addicted to your channel lol, gorgeous garden, I could only dream of, and you are awesome host, you give us the name and details on the plant, but most of all those beautiful music with no lyrics from the birds ang bees super inspiring. Watching from Illinois USA. Cold and thick snow at the moment.
Thank you for subscribing Colleen, welcome to my channel and videos - I'm so pleased you enjoy the garden and the birds. Hope your Spring is not too far away - here it's starting.
Loved your garden tour. I love the fact that you have uncommon plants. One gets tired of watching garden tours with always the same plants over and over again. Your garden tour was a breath of fresh air.
Thank you for the lovely tour! My favorite season is spring... I enjoy everything coming back to life, new growth, and color! Nice time of the evening with the birds singing, very peaceful 👍👍🌸🌺
So beautiful. Love the way you make constant reference to the birds and the light which in my opinion enhance the enjoyment of a garden so much. I live in the very south of Ireland and have acid soil so my favourite months are March and April when my Camellias, magnolias and Rhododendron are in flower. Also lots of bluebells which I love 😊
Thank you Maureen. South of Ireland - what a magical place, I've been a few times and been captivated and charmed. I really like these acid loving plants - and I'll bet you don't get many, if any, frosts.
@@paultsworld True! We're blessed in that the hard frosts seem to confine themselves to the Midlands. Our frosts are not damaging. Delighted I found your channel 😊
Very lovely tour of your front yard and what a nice variety of plants and trees. Thank you so much for sharing and the reminders about spacing when first planting.
After watching your first video, I can’t stop myself to watch as many as video I could, love it! Thanks for sharing your garden with us. Sorry for my poor English, I am from Asia and English is not my first language.
I am so pleased you enjoy watching my videos and the garden. Your English is great Stef - I appreciate your comment and I really love hearing where everyone are from.
Paul T's World yes, it mostly consists of small shrubs I have planted over the past 2 years so I will have to wait a while before it’s anything like yours. Your comment about thinking 10 years ahead is true. I keep trying to fit more in than I need.
@@mywalledgarden I suppose the best plan is to plant the big shrubs with the "10 year plan" and then plant annuals in between so it doesn't look too bare in the meantime.
For me, May is the most exciting month of the year - everything is growing and flowering like crazy in the garden - I wonder what your favourite month is?
Paul your front garden is every bit as amazing as your back yard. I can’t believe how many different varieties of plants you have. A joy to see. Happy Gardening😊
Another fantastic video Paul, thank you. Great camera work, thanks for showing us the shrubs in full bloom, gives us an idea as to what they look like in their full glory. Very informative. Keep up the good work. Kind Regards. Charlotte
Most beautiful precious garden, full of interest. Inspiring, and apart from gardenias, you also are skillful with filming and explainations Thank you for sharing your garden and your knowledge
It’s great when they have all their buds Stephen - we know what’s coming, and as you say, they’re going to fill the garden with fragrance. Is yours similar to mine with long hanging stems?
They do droop Paul under the weight of the flowers but not as much as yours. Mine is philadelphus 'belle etoile' its more compact than the huge varieties, gets to about 6 feet, but a scent to die for especially on warm summer evenings
Actually I think I have the belle etoile as well - I think it's the one with the lithodora growing through it - mine's the dwarf variety; it's near my path to the house so I get to walk past it and enjoy the fragrance every day.
Well the flowers are only there for a fleeting moment throughout the year so we've got to appreciate them while they're there. Look forward to your June video Paul, keep safe mate
Paul T, hello, bravo and many thanks for the delightful tour of your beautiful, inspirational English garden. I garden in S W France and hope to one day renovate and expand an existing English style garden on my property. Thanks again.
I planted an English lavender in a corner of a raised bed garden thinking it would spill over and look beautiful in bloom. I only dead headed the spent blooms and let it get big and round. The problem was that I also planted a Bobo hydrangea next to it because I loved the two together... well 5 years later and the hydrangea got swallowed by the lavender and I don't want to get it out and make a hole in my lavender bush! 😂
Bite the bullet - grow on another lavander and pop it in the gap - after a year no one will see the join - that gap I've got with a new small plant will hopefully blend in next year. That's the theory anyway. 😎
Potentilla - 'the motorway bush' - planted along stretches of main roads and in car parks, so just 'hoover' it when the men are strimming! It's very pretty and in different colours.
The rose-like flowers of the ornamental hawthorn look great in the light l, I just got an ornamental hawthorn myself recently, Crimson Cloud. Hawthorns are good wildlife plants especially with the berries for the birds in autumn.
@@paultsworld Wasn't able to buy the Crimson Cloud online after all because of a law about stopping spread of fireblight to where I am so I got aesculus indica sydney pearce instead.
@@faunalife2906 Wow, I've just looked up your new tree - it's fabulous! You are going to have lots of interest with flowers and colour in Spring, Summer and Autumn - great choice.
Yes it looks amazing the ornamental horse chestnuts are as nice in flower I think as the hawthorns but more unusual looking flowers. Apparently they are quite good for pollinators too. Hopefully I will be able to keep the tree relatively small to medium size through pruning as it can grow massive eventually!
I’ve grown fuchsias forever but only in pots. I think I’m a mite embarrassed to say I guess I’ve never seen a fuchsia shrub in 25 years of gardening - in 3 zones. Speaking of which, Mr. T. If you see this - which zone are you in?
Hi Molly Wolly, I am at zone 9 on the US hardiness system. Most of England is zone 8 but as I'm right on the West Coast near the sea I'm zone 9. If you want to see big-time fuchsia shrubs, Ireland is the place. Check out my Dingle Ireland video at O:46 and you'll see how the Irish use fuchsia as a hedging plant along country roads - they go for miles. ua-cam.com/video/s7oEm5UbacU/v-deo.html
Another great tour Paul! This will be my reference video for lovely plants & shrubs. Theyre in their full glory here. Sucha lovely garden! Thanks for sharing! And did you figure the one you were blanking on was a fuschia. But i love it had yellowish leaves. Never seen that before!
So pleased you found the video useful Joy - aren't April and May the most exciting months! Ha, ha - yes the word fuchsia 'eventually' arrived into my conscious - better late than never 😃. It performs really well and is flowering still in late November.
Superb as always.. any chance you could show us pics of your front and back garden when you started , if you have them .. because they look superb and to see how you have improved them would be great
You have a lovely property Paul ! You must give a lot ove love to it and it shows ! It’s a paradise for the birds and butterflies and also a great treat for humain’s eyes 👀 Have a great week ! H&S 👩❤️👨🌈
Mr T, I've just turned green with envy! Actually, I'm greener than your beautiful hedge ;-) By the way, due to the current situation, the city authorities seem to have delayed the regular cutting (slaughtering) of the grass in my neighbourhood. I have discovered lots of lovely wild flowers in the new meadows today. It is incredible how quickly nature can reclaim the previously human-controlled territory.
Wish you could hire that black bird to sing your whole video. Your garden is absolutely gorgeous. What do your temperatures look like in the winter months. Didn’t think Azaleas handle cold temps. Glad I found your channel with the backyard tour. Tfs cheers
Thank you Victoria, welcome to my channel. I'm really pleased you enjoyed my garden and particularly the blackbird. He's the one at the front, "my" other blackbird is in the back garden and his song is a bit louder - I featured his singing when he was ensconced in the holly tree. I'm on the North-West coast of England and am in Zone 9 of the US plant hardiness zone system. Winter temperatures are normally around 3C/37f to 10C/50f and every now and then a light frost and maybe once or twice a year down to minus 4C/25f or so.
The one I had, I put in a pot for a year or so then got round to putting it in the ground - it then grew much better - but I just can't remember how long before it flowered - but if it's already 2 yrs old I would expect it to flower next year or year after. You've just reminded me I need to dig up a couple round my white lilac.
Good afternoon Paul, What a super large front garden you have. I love the wedding cake tree . My hubby and I were looking to buy one but at £159 we could not justify spending that sort of money on a garden that we don't intend on staying.
Hello Joanna, wow £159! There must already have been a few tiers for that price, mine was very small when I bought it - can't remember the exact price but I wouldn't pay more than £30 for any plant - I know that plants have got expensive this last few years. I buy the smallest, cheapest plants I can find - they tend to 'take' more quickly and can often 'overtake' larger plants that have been in pots longer. I hope your garden is coming along nicely.
@@paultsworld It was smaller than your tree !! I hate spending money so the cheaper the better so I head straight for the clearance or bargain plants. I have moved recently to wales and garden centres are really expensive compared to England . I can't wait until I move back.
Hi Colleen, 14 years - but some of the shrubs such as the large rhododendrons and trees were already here. The lavender hedge looked good just a year or two after I planted it and the azaleas flower the very next year, so some plants perform very quickly. How is the renovation going? Hopefully your lilac and other new plants are busy establishing themselves?
Hello Paul, Can you grow oak leaf hydrangea in your garden? Beautiful leaves and long lasting flower. Your garden is beautiful and plants are much loved!
Hi Elizabeth, I had to look up oak leaf hydrangea as I've not heard of it before. I see it's a really nice plant - thank you for mentioning it, I do love plants that have interesting leaves and long lasting flowers. You've made my day - I'm going to have to get one now and I know where I'm going to put it!
Have to pull those unwanted little babies from the roots, it could be a problem later on ,one is lodged between my rose bush and have no intention of dying, am going to have to use a saw to the root
Have you tried using foliage fertiliser? I’ve used it for almost a year now and had great success using it - flowers become much healthier even their colours become richer.
Paul T's World I use Grow Fast liquid fertiliser, I pour some into my pressure sprayer mixed with water and spray all my plants’ foliage. Make sure to do it very early in the morning or late in the evening, there’s a risk you might burn the leaves if it’s full sun.
hiya Paul! bummer about the down thumbers. i gave you one tipped up. i wish i had time to give this the full watch. loved the audio adds that i caught. the birds are truly a special treat. looking good!! :P
Welcome to my channel and thank you for your charming comment. Yes, the garden is in England - in the North West near the coast. I know - those scorched leaves! Would you believe it was caused by the incessant sun we had in England for the whole of April and May.
@@paultsworld Yes....we have plenty of flowers here...but in my garden i only have Bougainvilleas/Orchids and Mango Trees. At the back yard of my house is a Rubber trees Plantation. Thank you and good morning from North Borneo.
"Only have bougainvillea and orchids" Zaleha these are magnificent plants! And the orchid family is the most numerous of all - and I bet you can grow all of them. Good evening from England.

Hola Sra. Marta, como esta Ud hoy? Me siento agradecido que me escribe in Espanol y no en el idioma tan lindo del Portugues! Me gusta mucho su idioma pero hacer una frase seria casi imposible!

7.41 I was surprised to see the name Photinia as it comes from the greek word fwteinos or fwteini , φωτεινος, φωτεινη which is an adjective , the first male and the second female meaning bright full of light.
I absolutely love your “trial and error” approach to gardening, and in particular your ability to literally laugh at “errors” you’ve made which can induce palpitations in other types of gardeners. If we can’t laugh in our garden, what’s the point? So! To your Golden Showers - beautiful! I have one that looks nothing at all like yours for way too many reasons to enumerate, but I am curious (yellow) - I’ve dated myself - how do you have it affixed to your wall? Or do you? It looks vaguely espaliered but that could be just your (wise) horizontal training. I know of gardeners who suspend climbers from eaves with fishing wire, etc...is there a trellis there that I simply can’t see?
Thank you for the compliment - you've made me laugh with the palpitations remark! I have horizontal wires about two feet or so apart, attached to the wall with rawl plugs and screws. I attach the branches to the wire with string. If you look at frame 22:24 on the video you can just make out the three wires. Hope that helps. (actually at 22:42 there's a clearer view of them.) By the way I saw your fuchsia comment and have replied on the other thread.
Oh, thanks loads! Now I can move my GS to a better spot, conquer the black spot and I’ll use your method of support. I also learned down thread that you’re in zone 9. Jeepers!! No wonder you’ve so many more blooms than I do (6a here). Did a couple of years in zone 10 (palm beach FL) which is another story for another day. Not much fun but I did stubbornly try tulips 3 years in a row to no avail - so I moved. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 And I realized downthread
Of course my zone 9 represents the Winter temperatures for hardiness - our Summers are not very hot - although we do have our moments - very occasionally.
@@paultsworld Another reason I'm so incredibly drawn to your garden is because it appears that you share my devotion to/perhaps obsession with(?) fragrance. I've never seen so many mock oranges in one garden (and don't you have a couple of varieties of philadelphus?) as well as, of course, your MANY lilacs and fragrant roses. Many plant devotees I know will tolerate one or two lilacs since they are, admittedly, not the prettiest of plants, and they do sort of just sit there, hulking, for the 5 warm months that they're not in bloom. And then they drop their leaves. BUT...a huge bouquet of lilacs on a bedside table is the stuff of fantasy, to me. I've worked in the fragrance industry forever and so of course plot literally everything I plant along those lines; I would rarely insert an unscented plant into a spot if a scented one is available and meets those environmental conditions. Which has resulted in many, many peonies, roses, lilacs, summersweet, mock orange, and DAPHNE!!! (do you know daphne odorosa? You must try to sniff it sometime!) - and I even have a decent-sized bed of narcissus that can be smelled from 2 blocks away. Or so I like to think. Nice to meet a kindred spirit, of sorts!
@@mollywolly4201 One of my philadelphus plants is right on the pathway to the house. It's wonderful to walk past and without even thinking, take in the fragrance. I like to get in the habit of stopping at each of the two climbing roses by the front door and having a good sniff. Somehow the world is a better place after taking in the fragrance. Now, would you believe I've never had a daphne? - I don't know why but I'd better put that to rights now you've mentioned daphne odorosa. I've just googled it and read up about it. I've visited Grasse, France a few times - have you been? I'm sure you'd love the Musée International de la Parfumerie.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment.
The RHS use a category to judge the spacing of plants, and when it’s done right it’s called good horticulture. I like my lavender like leggy 🦵 too 😂
I must check out good horticulture sometime - so far I've tended towards trial and error gardening 😂.

The one I had, I put in a pot for a year or so then got round to putting it in the ground - it then grew much better - but I just can't remember how long before it flowered - but if it's already 2 yrs old I would expect it to flower next year or year after. You've just reminded me I need to dig up a couple round my white lilac.
Good afternoon Paul, What a super large front garden you have. I love the wedding cake tree . My hubby and I were looking to buy one but at £159 we could not justify spending that sort of money on a garden that we don't intend on staying.
Hello Joanna, wow £159! There must already have been a few tiers for that price, mine was very small when I bought it - can't remember the exact price but I wouldn't pay more than £30 for any plant - I know that plants have got expensive this last few years. I buy the smallest, cheapest plants I can find - they tend to 'take' more quickly and can often 'overtake' larger plants that have been in pots longer. I hope your garden is coming along nicely.
@@paultsworld It was smaller than your tree !! I hate spending money so the cheaper the better so I head straight for the clearance or bargain plants. I have moved recently to wales and garden centres are really expensive compared to England . I can't wait until I move back.
Clearance plants can be a great place to pick up a bargain - first place I look!
Thank you for providing me with such inspiration. May I ask how many years you have been gardening in that location?
Hi Colleen, 14 years - but some of the shrubs such as the large rhododendrons and trees were already here. The lavender hedge looked good just a year or two after I planted it and the azaleas flower the very next year, so some plants perform very quickly.
How is the renovation going? Hopefully your lilac and other new plants are busy establishing themselves?
Lovely garden.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed my garden.
Hello Paul, Can you grow oak leaf hydrangea in your garden? Beautiful leaves and long lasting flower. Your garden is beautiful and plants are much loved!
Hi Elizabeth, I had to look up oak leaf hydrangea as I've not heard of it before. I see it's a really nice plant - thank you for mentioning it, I do love plants that have interesting leaves and long lasting flowers. You've made my day - I'm going to have to get one now and I know where I'm going to put it!
Beautiful images
Thank you.
Beautiful Paul!
Thank you Casey for your visit.
Have to pull those unwanted little babies from the roots, it could be a problem later on ,one is lodged between my rose bush and have no intention of dying, am going to have to use a saw to the root
They're tough aren't they - hiding away, growing their long root systems.
Have you tried using foliage fertiliser? I’ve used it for almost a year now and had great success using it - flowers become much healthier even their colours become richer.
Thank you for the tip. So far I haven’t but if you’re having success I’ll try it. Is there any particular brand or type you would recommend?
Paul T's World I use Grow Fast liquid fertiliser, I pour some into my pressure sprayer mixed with water and spray all my plants’ foliage. Make sure to do it very early in the morning or late in the evening, there’s a risk you might burn the leaves if it’s full sun.
Safiye Sultan Thank you for letting me know and for your advice - I’m going to get some and try it out!
Stunning
Thank you! 😊
hiya Paul! bummer about the down thumbers. i gave you one tipped up. i wish i had time to give this the full watch.

Hi Nate - Thanks for the thumbs up - appreciated. All the best Paul
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Very beautiful
Thank you Ali.
You are such a lovely man creating this amazing garden. Is your garden in England? I can see scorched leaves.
Greetings from a greek lady!
Welcome to my channel and thank you for your charming comment.
Yes, the garden is in England - in the North West near the coast. I know - those scorched leaves! Would you believe it was caused by the incessant sun we had in England for the whole of April and May.
Those Azaleas are beautiful....i love it...
May i have one Flower of Azalea...Sir?
Thank you and happy Sunday...
Azalea - one of my favourite shrubs - of course you can have an azalea flower 🌹
@@paultsworld Thank you very much...Sir!!
None an Azaleas in my place...very sad...😢
But you have lots of fantastic flowers in North Borneo right? I wish I could grow some of them!
@@paultsworld Yes....we have plenty of flowers here...but in my garden i only have Bougainvilleas/Orchids and Mango Trees. At the back yard of my house is a Rubber trees Plantation.
Thank you and good morning from North Borneo.
"Only have bougainvillea and orchids" Zaleha these are magnificent plants! And the orchid family is the most numerous of all - and I bet you can grow all of them. Good evening from England.

Thank you so much for letting me know. All the best.
stunning do u have help or do u do it all yourself?
There's help and I get two guys to clip the large beech hedge each year - it's so big, it would take me a week!
Hola Sr. Paul !! Hermoso Parque , como Ud. Mantiene las Azaleas ? Son hermosas👏👏👏👏🐞🌷🌈🐦🌱🌼🌲🍁 🌸🌿❤🌱🦋🌷🐝🐦❤🌳🌞🌿🌱Saludos . Marta
Hola Sra. Marta, como esta Ud hoy? Me siento agradecido que me escribe in Espanol y no en el idioma tan lindo del Portugues! Me gusta mucho su idioma pero hacer una frase seria casi imposible!
Quiero contar que hago tales cosas para mantener las Azaleas, pero en realidad las doy aqua de lluvia et un poco de los abono ericaceas de vez en cuando. 🌸🌿🌷 Saludos, Paul
@@paultsworld Gracias por responderme, observé que Ud tiene las Azaleas en macetas , en el suelo , de las dos maneras está hermosas 👏👏👏👏🌸🌼🌹🌷🌿⛲🌈❤⭐🎻🏡🌿🌳🌞🐝🐞🌷Saludos. Marta
Agradezco a Ustede por ser tan amables de escribirme en Español, soy de Brasil, pero vivo en Argentina a 30 años, feliz por su respuesta , gracias por su tiempo . Saludos Sr. Paul ⭐
Creo que Las Azaleas sean "a casa" en el suelo y en macetas equalment - mejor para nosotros. 🌷 Saludos Paul
Es mi placer Sra.Marta de escribirle en Espanol. Me gusta mucho el Espanol y el Portugues - pase mucho tiempo en Espana y Portugal cuando era joven. He visitado: Portugal, Madeira, Las Azores, Cape Verde y por supuesto Brasil! (y Argentina) Es Ud en BA? Saludos Paul
7.41 I was surprised to see the name Photinia as it comes from the greek word fwteinos or fwteini , φωτεινος, φωτεινη which is an adjective , the first male and the second female meaning bright full of light.
That is so interesting telling me about the Greek origins - I love that as I’m very interested in languages and I don’t know Greek.
I absolutely love your “trial and error” approach to gardening, and in particular your ability to literally laugh at “errors” you’ve made which can induce palpitations in other types of gardeners. If we can’t laugh in our garden, what’s the point?
So! To your Golden Showers - beautiful! I have one that looks nothing at all like yours for way too many reasons to enumerate, but I am curious (yellow) - I’ve dated myself - how do you have it affixed to your wall? Or do you? It looks vaguely espaliered but that could be just your (wise) horizontal training. I know of gardeners who suspend climbers from eaves with fishing wire, etc...is there a trellis there that I simply can’t see?
Thank you for the compliment - you've made me laugh with the palpitations remark! I have horizontal wires about two feet or so apart, attached to the wall with rawl plugs and screws. I attach the branches to the wire with string. If you look at frame 22:24 on the video you can just make out the three wires. Hope that helps. (actually at 22:42 there's a clearer view of them.)
By the way I saw your fuchsia comment and have replied on the other thread.
Oh, thanks loads! Now I can move my GS to a better spot, conquer the black spot and I’ll use your method of support.
I also learned down thread that you’re in zone 9. Jeepers!! No wonder you’ve so many more blooms than I do (6a here). Did a couple of years in zone 10 (palm beach FL) which is another story for another day. Not much fun but I did stubbornly try tulips 3 years in a row to no avail - so I moved. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
And I realized downthread
Of course my zone 9 represents the Winter temperatures for hardiness - our Summers are not very hot - although we do have our moments - very occasionally.
@@paultsworld Another reason I'm so incredibly drawn to your garden is because it appears that you share my devotion to/perhaps obsession with(?) fragrance. I've never seen so many mock oranges in one garden (and don't you have a couple of varieties of philadelphus?) as well as, of course, your MANY lilacs and fragrant roses. Many plant devotees I know will tolerate one or two lilacs since they are, admittedly, not the prettiest of plants, and they do sort of just sit there, hulking, for the 5 warm months that they're not in bloom. And then they drop their leaves. BUT...a huge bouquet of lilacs on a bedside table is the stuff of fantasy, to me.
I've worked in the fragrance industry forever and so of course plot literally everything I plant along those lines; I would rarely insert an unscented plant into a spot if a scented one is available and meets those environmental conditions. Which has resulted in many, many peonies, roses, lilacs, summersweet, mock orange, and DAPHNE!!! (do you know daphne odorosa? You must try to sniff it sometime!) - and I even have a decent-sized bed of narcissus that can be smelled from 2 blocks away. Or so I like to think.
Nice to meet a kindred spirit, of sorts!
@@mollywolly4201 One of my philadelphus plants is right on the pathway to the house. It's wonderful to walk past and without even thinking, take in the fragrance. I like to get in the habit of stopping at each of the two climbing roses by the front door and having a good sniff. Somehow the world is a better place after taking in the fragrance.
Now, would you believe I've never had a daphne? - I don't know why but I'd better put that to rights now you've mentioned daphne odorosa. I've just googled it and read up about it.
I've visited Grasse, France a few times - have you been? I'm sure you'd love the Musée International de la Parfumerie.
最美花园👍🌹
太感谢了 😊

No lockdown hardship with gardens like yours, Paul...a credit to you, Sir. Many thanks and keep well 🍀
Thank you - yes, I appreciate it even more now during these restrictions. I feel lucky to have this garden.
Leaves getting to much sun !
Thank you Juanita - you are correct. Britain had an unusually lot of sun in April and May last year.
Fuchsia
Thank you - I knew it began with an 'F' but my poor mind went blank. 👍
