How lovely. I am now 75 yo and when I was younger I had a wonderful garden full of flowers and lilacs and lived on 2 acres. I now live in an apartment with a small balcony and have potted flowers every spring, summer and fall. You've inspired me, I think I will add more this summer. Bees and Hummingbirds will love it even more. Thank you very much for your video. Well done.
Thank you so much for your comment. Potted flowers are the best, and wildlife will really thank you for having them. There is always room for more. Have a lovely Summer xx thank you for watching :)
“Amazing what you can do with packet a of seeds.” Absolutely.
Thank you :)
that is stunning...I bet your neighbors love living next to you. thank you for being bee friendly.
This is similar to my gardens.i grow all my own veggies. Potatos everthing.sunflowers pumpkins .it gives u sence of nature
That’s so kind thank you!
You'd be surprised. I'd bet some neighbours think it's a mess. My Dad was often lobbied to have his garden on Garden Walks - never would since our backyard was his trial garden. He did everything wrong so he could be even more knowledgeable about plants when inevitably as a garden show host and Horticulturalist he would be asked how to save such and such dying plants.
Our neighbours on the other hand hated our garden because it looked like a jungle apparently and it wasn't by any means a wildflower, vegetables in the front yard or cottage garden.
Every time I watch something like this , I feel somebody is taking care of the small insects ,pollinators ❤️ it's makes me really happy .
Thank you :)
I have been sowing, growing and planting for over 60 years now and you’ve no idea how much it warms my heart to see the love of plants that will carry on past my time. I wish everyone could experience the joy of growing just one plant. Keep on doing what you do now. xx
What a lift this gave me in the middle of dark times.
I could just stare at this little garden forever!
Thank you :)
Perhaps one could be invited to this garden for tea and take a few cuttings away
So beautifully inspiring! I wish they included gardening in schools so everyone got to learn and connect with nature in a real way and as early on as possible. So many of our problems as a society arise from a disconnect with nature. Thanks for sharing your garden, its SO DREAMY!
My grandfather came over to the US from Scotland and worked for the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. He always had me out in our small backyard planting or breaking up flower pots or digging holes for bulbs and crushing dead leaves to put in first. He died when I was 12, but once I became a mom and had my own home that gardening instinct and all that he taught me came back. I have a small pond and garden beds and raised beds all over, There is nothing as peaceful as sitting on my porch in the rain and looking out into the garden.
Aww...I used to volunteer at the Herbarium at BBG. That garden holds a special place in my heart!
@@anmnou really? How many years ago was that? I mean my grandfather passed in 1978 so I doubt it was at the same time but he built so many of the structures that were in the Japanese garden and I have photos of him building a fake tree inside this beautiful greenhouse area.
The smell of tomatoes growing in the greenhouse takes me straight back to childhood. One of my favourite smells in the world
Oh me too! Such a nostalgic scent :)
This is the kind of garden I would like to have.
Thank you Carol :)
Carol u dont need a huge yard.e en a little garden can become wonderful
I love your cottage and cottage garden, it is stunning! You look so pretty with your floral dress and the backdrop of flowers. You have done a great job of creating a beautiful space!
Thank you Cheri :)
I love that dress, too
Agreed, I love it all, simply enchanting ❤
It’s a dull dreary day here in North Germany. Your video has lifted my spirits. When I saw the picture of you in grandads wheelbarrow, I needed a handkerchief! That was my childhood memory of my grandad, wheeling me in his barrow down to his allotment garden. We always stopped under a beautiful pear tree to look up into the branches. Magical days. Thanks for the lovely memories and inspiration.
What a beautiful comment and so touching thank you xx
How nice that young people love plants and gardening! The world is becoming a better place!
Thank you so much! Your flowers are happy and beautiful!
Thank you for your kind words
Absolutely gorgeous! A very romantic color palette.
Lynnette G thank you as you can see I’m a fan of colour
My favorite theme for my garden too
I too luv gardening I have flower beds around the whole house. I love growing flowers for cut flower arrangements. I like the English flower garden style too.
Just proves you don’t need a huge garden to make you happy and contented. Be careful that for me going to a garden centre is like going to a sweet shop! Many thanks for your flower recommendations.
Oh me too! I never leave a garden centre or nursery empty handed
A cheerful , bright , happy video on UA-cam, just what we need at the moment, thank you.
I agree. We needed something lovely
You are a real asset to your village. Bravo.
Thank you :)
Oh, it's so pretty. Cottage gardens are my favorite also. I live in a large desert city but with love and lots of water even I can grow certain flowers. Cosmos and zinnias do very well, but nothing as lush as what you created. You certainly found your calling my dear girl ! Thank you for sharing this. You've contributed to smiling faces today.
Oh how lovely and how lucky you are to have the warmer climate for more exotic plants, although I imagine you must have to do a lot of watering? Xx
Such joy in seeing your garden and can almost inhale the perfumes as they waft in the wind. thank you.
Everything about this was perfect! Thank you. Lovely story. A bit of brightness much needed.
OMG ! You have inspired me..to re-invent my garden..which is for Australia a small garden. Container gardening will help my garden through the hot summers.
I am lucky that i have a 60 year old frangipani tree..but my garden is so dull.
I adore your magnificent cottage garden, it not only gives you pleasure it also must bring pure joy for anyone who walks past your garden.
Australia
😘🪴🌹🌺🌻🌼🐞
I adore Cosmos and Queen Anne lace..
What a stunning garden. Not only are you bringing joy to yourself but to your neighbours and everyone who views this video. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
You are so lovely thank you for your kind words
Your garden is amazing. I fell in love with cottage garden when I first visited England and I am very grateful for this video. Love from Mauritius.
Thank you to you in Mauritius :)
I fell in love with your gorgeous doorstep garden when I saw it on gardeners world last year and have been thinking about it ever since! Can't tell you how happy I was to see your video pop up in my recommendations, I've had lots of ideas from your stunning garden!
Thank you so much :) cx
Beautiful! My Father gave my brother and I a small garden each to grow flowers in during the nineteen fifties. I loved my little plot, and tended it for many years.
Thank you, there is nothing better than your own plot to grow on and do anything you like with
I can't take my eyes off! It looks like an organized chaos....n I loveee it!
You re so kind! Thank you :)
This is my absolute favourite garden and my favourite garden video
you are beyond kind x
You and your garden are so beautiful,I live in Bath and will lookout
for your beautiful garden when I go walking ,thank you so much for your time, Sandy
Thank you Sandy :)
This is my future goal. Bring nature back to bloom in all its’ glory right by my home.
Everyone should turn their attention to growing a vegetable garden to see us thru this time. Get our body working rather than waiting for govt to bring solutions to us. Our bodies were made to tend the land, not sit behind the desk then go to the gym to squat muscles. Smh
I agree - you should plant native species to your state ;)
Native species brings more pollinators and birds than ornamental species
@@slappinpumpkins new learner. Appreciate advice. I love 2 c all the different colours, shapes Nature creates. I’m just in awe, in love w growing stuff. 👍
You have taught me more than anywhere else. Thank you ! Lovely flowers
Gosh what a lovely thing to say
How is there a thumbs down🤨 Absolutely beautiful!! I'm inspired!!
Pamela Toombs : Just playing Devil’s Advocate here, but I wonder if it had anything to do the the sound quality which sometimes dropped off and became almost inaudible. Slightly frustrating really. It’s possible that some people got a bit fed up although they started off enthusiastically. Just a thought!
@@sylviaroberts8103 I hear that
It was my first ever video so I apologise for the sound content.
I’ve learnt through making mistakes how to make the sound better for future videos :) hope you enjoy
Flower & Land : It was kind of you to respond. Visually your video was very beautiful and also inspiring, (exactly as Pamela Toombs has said), so thank you for that. 🙂
@@sylviaroberts8103 thank you so much :) I tried my best at the time.
Assalamu alaikum beautiful nice sharing friend
Columbine is also a fun & pretty flowers that grows as well as cosmos. You can save the seeds to replant all for free :)
the thumbs down are from those who havent found the joy in creating maintaining and enjoying their garden yet.
The bouquet matches the floral pattern on your dress perfectly!
Her dress is beautiful.
I love how the cottage gardens looks so full and thick with beautiful flowers... I love to grow flowers in the yard, some of them bloom year round here in far northern California.
Wow I wish we had flowers that would keep blooming all year round but we get frosts and cold winters here in the uk.
Thank you for your kind comment
참 아름다운 정원을 가꾸고 있네요. 꽃과 함께 앉아있는 당신도 너무나 아름답습니다.
Real life fairy garden :) wonderful
Thank to my Sophie 🌷
What a joyful garden. So lovely
Thank you 🌷
Hello! This was a lovely delicate film, that exuded 'gentle and sweet' with your little cottage, fairytale flowers and you with your cup of tea .(coffee?).I felt very touched by this especially as when I was a litttle girl, my grandpop grew runner beans and sweetpeas at the bottom of their garden and my Nanna looked after the flowers. Plus I've dabbled in textiles for a long time but now have been concentrating on putting all my creativity in creating my garden. (plus you remind me of a lovely friend of mine who used to work at Kew Gardens ..) I love all these 'coincidence's or similarities..touches my heart x
I'm so envious, living in Australia I couldn't keep the water up or heat off those beautiful flowers. Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, so beautiful your tiny little garden. 🙋♀️ from California USA
Your garden is sumptuous. When I heard you were in Bath it warmed my heart. My mom was raised in Bath and her family still lives there, she moved to Canada in the late 60’s and had her family here. Bath is such a special place. Your garden has extra special meaning to me now. ❤️
You have encouraged me with this. I have a large garden, but so much shade from large trees. My patio, however,has a lot of sun, so I see that I should try more in containers!
Love sweets peas. They grow & grow and remind me of happy times.
Eye gazing and enjoying. Container gardening myself and getting commercial. Hi from Germany.
Hello to you in Germany :) Thank you for your comment
What a lovely little garden, and YES🎉🎉🎉🎉 flowers and plants bring joy to our lives.!!
It's so inspiring when you see someone really enjoying something. I plan to try this year...😊
Fantastic display, I also grew up in Essex (Southend) but moved to Florida in the 80’s. Wild flower seed assortments can be great. Part of the excitement is not knowing what’s going to come up where.
So wonderful to see. We have the exact same taste. I am also a professional gardener. God bless you 🐝
Gods way of giving us peace in our life. BEAUTIFUL 💞
Thank you! Very true 🌷
Beautiful 🙏🙂
Any tips on successful seed germination?
@Solmaz Dar if they’re mostly seed started, not much! Very accessible and achievable for nearly everyone ☺️🌱💞
Please don't spoil this beautiful video with religious nonsense
Very inspiring! Just beautiful and you’ve encouraged me to start flowers from seeds this spring! Thank you. ❤️
Supposedly, let flowers to generate more seeds 🙏❤️ As ever, my so favourite flowering plant is cosmos as well as morning glory etc❗️Thanks for sharing❗️🙏
Wish you were my neighbor so I could enjoy your garden. Gorgeous!
How lovely, the garden and the gardener.💐
Thank you Teresa 😊
Hello from the Philippines! Your garden is so charming! 😍
That was great, super to see you with your grandad. The flowers are particularly striking against the mellow aged stone of the old English cottage, Blake’s Jerusalem indeed dwells in your garden.
Anyone who needs to think of beauty can listen to the the hymn “Jerusalem” it says a lot about the English country.
A beautiful front garden! Inspirational. I long for summer days with my own flowers.
So inspirational, thank you! I have a small patio space with trellises on either side and plan to fill it with container annuals to harvest and dry for my floral design business. My neighbour in the cottage next door to me has allowed me to use her patio should I need additional space. Planning it and choosing seeds has been a welcome distraction during lockdown and seeing your lovely video and garden has given me more inspiration.
it is the most ancient Earth mother in all women that we love the Earth..it gives life and so do women
I just found this channel this morning.im glad i did.when so much is going on we can have our gardens.i spend hrs.in my gardens.sometimes i even forget what time it is ha🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
@Gin Women conceive and give birth,but it's God Almighty who gives us life.
As a Bloke, I rather think I agree with that - not least because there's something subtly 'sexy' about a beautiful garden, and - conversely - something rather sad about a 'barren' plot of land.
wow cosmos blooms are the brightest
They are very eye catching
Beautiful garden, lots of colorful flowers. Great info about it. Thank you for sharing...❤👍👌💯
First time the garden amateur in me is as much stunned by the charming garden as he is by the charming gardener.
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching
Lovely inspiring cottage garden - here in South Australia we have cold wet winters and hot dry summers 0C-45C so the northern hemisphere cottage garden is a challenge but I’m learning what can thrive in this ‘Mediterranean’ climate - I’ve bought a 60 year old house and garden which has a lot of shade and full sun to balance so I’ve decided to kill the front lawn (too much water to keep alive) and establish a cottage/rose garden dominated by 20 climbing roses of the old french and german varieties and hardy tall perennials like lavender, gaura, Shasta daisies, coreopsis, rudbeckia, salvia, cosmos etc - we get BBC TV dramas here that are set in beautiful villages so I take a lot of photos for inspiration.- thank you for sharing the therapy - John in SA
Thank you for sharing your lovely flower garden. Gardening is impossible where I live with the voracious deer and squirrels....in a desert climate, so I love to watch videos of gardens. I’m a landscape painter, and may just use one of your videos to inspire a lovely painting to hang in my home.
Your beautiful garden is like a fairytale !
So pretty! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden. Who would have thought that from a simple small seed comes life. 💐🌼
This video was simply adorable!
I saw your garden on Gardeners World and it is stunningly beautiful and so inspiring.Your dress is so lovely too!! Kind regards Georgina.
Absolutely breathtaking...you should be so proud!
Oh thank you xx :)
Beautiful. I have a very old cottage & I'm now going to plant up containers with annuals. Thank you for the inspiration. Love the Flox 💞
With best wishes from North Wales
Beautiful colourful garden👍❤️🙏
:) thank you
Simply Lovely ~ I would Love to step out of that door in the morning
the scent would be delightful ~and then pick a few blooms to enjoy
inside the house.........🌿🌸🌿
Lovely, I am growing a lot of veg and now will grow flowers in a smaller area just like yours.
Your garden is stunning! I love this style of planting.
Thank you 😊
So happy this came up in my feed! I loved seeing this on the show 💗 beautiful work!
Thank you Brittan
You are an inspiration. You are SO LOVELY. My heart was so full listening to you speak of your grandfathers impact on your love of the garden. Thank you for sharing with us
Merci! Delicious - charming, indeed...
Thank you
My lottie my sanctuary, especially with these tough times.😊
Someday if i have a wife who loves plants very much, i'll make large garden and small lovely house then we grow our garden with some many variants of plants through love and happiness 🌳🌱🌹🌸♥️
Love it
😊
I was looking for this video for so long, I'm so happy I found it again! I feel as though this was one of the first cottage garden videos on youtube. When I first watched this, I dreamed of having a home and garden of my own. I feel very grateful to say that I now have my home and recently started working on my very first garden.
I also have to say, I absolutely love the organic look of your garden and videos. They are both works of art and very unique. Your voice and way with words are also so soothing and poetic. I very much love your videos and I hope you continue to make more. Sending you lots of love.⚘️
Wanted to thank YOU for sharing your lovely garden. Because of YOU… last year I bought Ammi Majus seed and they grew wonderfully. I love them. They’ve reseeded and are coming back strong this year. Thank YOU again. Stay well!
Thank you for such a lovely message! 💛
As a fellow designer flowers and fruits and shrubs are a huge inspiration, both in and out of work. Your little garden makes me feel all sorts of wonderful inside 🌸 I hope one day I'll be able to have a little front garden where I can make passers-by's day better (I know it makes my day better to see a garden in full bloom).
Pollinators must love this house
Your Garden is truly wonderful....i love it....
Thank you for sharing your fantastic garden...Flower&Land.
Enjoy your day....
Thank you Zaleha 😊😊😊
Cottage gardens are my absolute favourite of them all! 😍 Yours is certainly a lovely one! 💕... well done! 👏🏼
I’ve been trying to grow a cottage garden in my balcony here in Brisbane, Australia. It’s been a real challenge specially in summer as it can get really hot and the flowers don’t stand a chance to survive for long. I have grown a variety of annuals and perennials flowers including roses, lavenders, daisies, dwarf sunflowers, orchids, etc. 🥰💐🌹🌼🌻🌸
Beautiful garden and beautiful video 💚
Beautiful
My biggest dream is owning a medium chalet with a flower garden somewhere between the switzerland's mountains🥰❤🥀🌺🌷🍁 adoooore the video. Ur blessed🌱💙

Thank you Nena 🌷
So pretty and peaceful 💐🌾
The wild look is just amazing👌👌👌👌🔔👍❤️🌱😍
you have the loveliest garden i wish i live near your place to appreciate it in person
I enjoyed your video. It was very informative and full of tips. It was also very relaxing and I appreciated it after the difficult evening I’d just had.
I like love flowers and I don't care it they are wild. I have worked in my flower beds and planted 50 tulip bulbs and daffodils. Come spring I am hoping for spring full of blooms.
