    I’ve watched lots of “Cottage Garden” videos and this is by far the most helpful 💕I’ve always kept my garden neat and tidy but longed for this style of garden. This years I’m going for it 🥰 and your tips have helped so much. Thank You ❣️ I have subscribed and liked and now I’m going to get a cup of tea and watch the rest of your videos. 🌿🪴🌹🪴🌿

      Hello Jennifer! I’m so so happy you’re here 😊 welcome! I cannot wait to start getting out into the garden, I’m also hoping to make some changes, learn new things and grow as a gardener, I’m always learning and have made lots of mistakes but it’s all fun! Have a great weekend 🤗

    Your garden is gorgeous Angela! 🌷🌹🌸
    I’m completely with you on the subject of colour … I love blues, pinks, purples in my cottage garden at the front in the sun … but my back garden spends a lot of time in deep shade, so I’m developing a mostly green planting plan, with reds & oranges for colour. It’s only in its very early days! It’s lovely to see yours looking so beautiful. And I love your jam pan planter, I’ve often wondered about doing exactly that whenever I saw one in a charity shop, so next time I’ll buy it! 😊
    Many thanks, Ruthie x

      Hi Ruthie, oh your garden sounds wonderful too! Mine is only small, but I like it that was as it’s manageable.. love the idea of having two different sets of colour schemes, best of both worlds. Let’s hope we both have bountiful blooms all summer long x x

    It would be very helpful if you could name the plants as you tour .I think many people watch these videos for inspiration and to see certain plants true form ,height and colour so it's useful to know varieties 🙂

    Your garden is better than a 'beginnier's garden' Angela! Passing your garden for the first time, I would never believe it was a beginner's garden. Your flowering plants are so healthy and gorgeous. I live in a climate very similar to England and have many of the same flowering plants in my garden. However, I'm always struggling and feeding the soil which is very poor in nutrients. I also love the curve of the flowering beds. Lovely, charming vlog. Thanks so much.

    Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful garden, and Its the bees knees. Our front garden has four flower beds and fifty eight pots. My wife has no interest in gardening and she tells me it looks like a mini garden centre. We have a bigger garden out the back with grass, a glasshouse, water barrels and a no dig veg bed. Our front garden is a mixture of cottage garden flowers and prairie flowers both of which the bees and butterflies love. Next autumn I plan to create two big no dig flowers beds, I will divide flowerers from the front garden and plant them into the new beds. I have loads of homemade compost so I might as well use it in the beds. I grow annuals from seeds and they can be planted into the new beds. I had no interest in gardening twenty years ago and learned a lot over the the years from books and the internet.

Wow, I think your wife’s description, that it looks like a mini garden garden centre, is actually a compliment 🌸🪴like you, I didn’t start getting into gardening until later in life, now I get so much pleasure seeing things grow!

    When I use containers that I have to drill holes in I stack my stones rather than lay them flat. They drain better. Such beautiful flowers. We don’t have plants like those here. It’s just basics. So I use seeds but this year cold got them and other plants I had potted. I also lost plants that I’ve had for years. I thought I lost my Ginger Lily but thankfully it recovered. Thanks for sharing 😊

      Ooh I know the feeling of losing a plant, I have lost quite a few too, my white agapanthus (which I’d spent ages hunting for around garden centres) didn’t make it through the winter….I’m glad your Lily survived 🎉 whereabouts are you from?

    Hello Angela, thank you for the pretty tutorial video. I always loved this look and last summer I started to transition my 20 year old garden to cottage style. My neighbours walk by and tell me how much they love the changes that I made. I have some injuries, awaiting hand and knee surgery and so I am forced to let things go more which is actually so much prettier and easier. I love the pastel tones too, I do have a little bit of red flowers for the hummingbirds and some pale yellow flowers. I am buying more white flowers to light and brighten my garden.

That’s also why I like the cottage style garden, it can be a bit more relaxed (less weeding!) lovely of your neighbours to compliment you, proof you’ve made a beautiful garden 🪴 I hope your surgery is soon and very successful…🤞🏻 wishing you good health & happiness, happy gardening 🧑‍🌾 xx

    Loved your advice and your garden! I have a cottage garden in Florida full sun. Quite a challenge. It helped me to realize that it is always a work in progress & never gonna be perfect.
    I hated weeding until i learned to enjoy the process. I grow mainly for cutting flowers too.
    My big complaint is my cats like to rearrange my flowers for me & sip the water from them.😡

My garden is far from perfect either, in fact, after the working week I’ve said to my husband we must get on in the garden🌸👍

    A real beginner tip: If you're on a budget (or not) avoid those crazy expensive garden centers and get your plants at nurseries. You'll save hundreds and hundreds of pounds.

    • @RunninUpThatHillh
      @RunninUpThatHillh Рік тому +2

      Another: when you're confident about plant families and what looks salvageable, buy plants at ANY store that has a rack of dollar plants (ones they forgot to water, etc that look half dead). I've gotten loads this way. Swapping cuttings or bulbs with neighbors another. Shopping perennials at the end of the season when they're on sale also.

    • @hideawaycottage
