She Created An AMAZING Garden - overgrown yard transformation

  • This elderly lady created a beautiful garden, and is now sadly no longer here, having passed away. The house had to be sold and has now been purchased by someone else. During this time, the garden has become overgrown and now her son has asked me to spend a little time giving it a makeover, before the new owners move in.
    I thought this was an truly lovely thing to do for the new owners, and also a chance for me to pay homage to the horticultural creativity of this lady who, up until she became ill, managed this garden by herself.
    Join me for this journey around this lovely garden, created and cared for by this lady who has passed.
    We'll take a look at some of the plants that she chose and how they have given life to this outdoor cottage oasis. As well as cutting back and weeding this place back to the garden it once was.
    I hope you will get as much from it, as I did.
    As always, thanks for watching.

    What a beautiful garden and the ladie's sons tribute to his mother by having the garden cleaned up to where the new owners too can hopefully care enough to keep this garden going and cared for the way it deserves. Love the lupines. and appreciate all yourhard work as well as putting a name to some of the plants you were working around. Thanks for an excellent video.

    You got such a lot done in the 4 hours. It will make arriving so much nicer for the new people. And maybe you get to do one more hour.
    I hope you left your contact info for the new owners.
    I agree, groundcovering plants instead of weeds, although some weeds are pesky enough to grow through (I am thinking of twitch, dandelions and convolvulous).

      You can also tell your sister that the flowers are going, she can dead head them, and sometimes you'll get more flowers later on in autumn.
      And then, in early spring, cut it right back to the ground, and it'll start all over again 😁😊👍

Thank you for doing this for the new homeowners, and I hope they attend to the wonderful job she did here. As I Texan, I appreciate you saying that Lupines are your favorite flowers. We only grow the short blue ones, but seeing a whole sea in a field of them truly makes you think you are in Heaven. God bless you Martin.

    New to your channel. Love that you show care to the garden and not just destroying everything. Very cool that you label the plants. I learned some new names. Just one note to do edits without as many cut-ins with the go-pro style, especially for lawn work with movement. Plenty of good material without and close ups are rarely helpful. They are good for seeing plants up close, though! Thanks for posting. Cheers!
