- Welcome to my English Garden Tour in June 2021. I am in Essex which is on the south coast of England. I live about 30 miles from London in one direction, and 30 miles from Southend in the other. I’ve always lived in Essex and have been in my current hone for just over 15 years.
I’ve just recently cut away lots of my lawn to create an oval grass area with more space to plant in. It was an awful lot of hard work but I’m so pleased I did it.
So far I haven’t bought that many new plants, but I’ve spent a lot of time transplanting existing shrubs and perennials from one spot to another, so I’m gradually filling up all my new borders.
I hope you enjoy this June garden tour as I take you around and try and remember all the names of my plants!!

Omg I love that pathway, and that little mirror door trick is so unique!!! I love it
Hello lovely Moya and thanks for visiting. The gate is very cute isn’t it? I’m sure you can find a corner for one. I’m loving your new fountain pathway too. Did you pick a name for the area yet? Hope you’re ok because you give me loads of inspiration, and enthusiasm, although I’ve not yet gardened in the dark 🤣😍
Beautiful garden, lots of beautiful things to look at. Your pathway with the boxwoods is very unique. And the way you have planted so many varieties of plants without the garden looking overcrowded is absolutely beautiful👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hello there and thank you so much. But … the Boxwoods have all gone 🥲 sadly I suffered badly with box tree moths and caterpillars for about 4 years and just gave up and dug them all out about 2 months ago. I’d had enough. There’s a video all about it if you’d like to see (will make you sad though) 😍 thanks for watching xx
The beautiful gate and I love it it’s a mirror at every everything reflects back into your garden such a beautiful view of your beautiful garden
Thank you, I love my gate and thank you for watching 🥰
Your lawn is coming along thanks to your hard work.
Hello Shoetoe!! Thank you so much for watching 😍🙏
The lady bugs on the fence beautiful yard thank you so much for sharing it with us really enjoyed it
They were from the Pound Shop, I love them too, thank you 😊
The white flower next to the potentilla looks like sweet woodruff. A ground cover herb 😊
Oh thanks again Pat!! You are brilliant 😊
Monty has given me some very good advice in the past as well. ☺️ I also got a kick out of when you were talking about heucheras and said “I only remember the dark secrets.” Out of context that takes on a whole different meaning. 🙊😆 I love the expansion of the garden and the way it is evolving. So cool that you’ve been able to carve out more planting space! I love it. 😍
Haha yes the dark secrets are easy to remember 🤣🤣 I look forward to Gardeners World and an hour with Monty every Friday night 😊 thank you for watching 😍😍
your garden looks great, your hard work is paying off. The line of your new path is lovely.
Thanks so much Maria, it’s certainly been a busy Spring so I’m hoping to slow down a bit now. If that’s such a thing in the garden!! 😊
I love your garden, so many wonderful plants and great landscaping, less grass to maintain.
Oh thank you. I’m putting the July garden tour out today and it’s changed quite a bit in one month, so I hope you like that too 😍
Hello
There's so much interest in your garden. Never a dull moment. I think the grass has perked up a lot compared to before you sowed the grass seeds. Your lavender is beautiful. Yes it has bloomed late. My one bloom died back ages ago. I haven't got a mahonia but i would sugggest you cut the two higher branches to keep the height. Then of course it will become bushy but you can always decide where to trim next year. It takes time with some plants to create just the shape you want. So much to comment on. Only you know what looks and feels right in your own garden. I agree it's well worth it. There's so much going on in your gorgeous garden😍😍
Hello lovely Sharon, that is a good idea to cut off the two higher branches. I do absolutely love my mahonia. It’s poured down all day today so I’m having a nice lazy day cuddling my girls and watching TV. I’ve had this week off work (school half term) so it’s been fabulous. Hope you’re doing ok 😍
Your hard work shows! What a transformation!💃🏻🍹😎celebrate!
Hello Teresa, thank you. I’m like you, keep thinking of new things all the time. It’s never finished, but I guess that’s the fun of it. Hope you’re ok xx
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener all is great here the weather is going to cooperate for several days! Yipee May even spend a day out on the lake not gardening lol 😎
@@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994 oh that sounds like a perfect day Teresa!!
Beautiful. Your hard work is paying bacl.
Thank you so much 😊
Looks fabulous Janette, all your hard work has paid off 😍
Hello there Lil, and thank you. Yes, Spring has certainly been exceptionally busy this year. 😍
What a sweet, cheerful garden you have!!
Oh thank you so much Orchid Garden 😍
I do love the mirrored gate! I love Dusty Millers, but couldn't find any this year. Janette, your space is so inspiring! You have done an amazing job young lady!
Oh thank you Nikki!!!
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener YW
How i wish i have those beautiful plants🥰🥰
Hello Clarissa, it’s certainly doable you know 🥰 thank you for watching 😊
Love that gate. Had no idea, lol.
Hi Sue, it’s a really good idea isn’t it? Good job there’s not another garden through there, I’d never get it all done 🤣😍
Hi Janette. And yes of course I am watching your video!!! Regarding the Mahonia, definitely remove that top story to see if you can create a bushy plant from the bottom up and then next year you can shape at will.
I can see that roses certainly like your garden. Hard to find a healthier set of leaves!
I love your Heucheras, such lovely colours. In particular the peachy/orange one🥰
Messaging you about this now!!!
Hey Janette, while you were talking I couldn't help but stare at your alliums. Ahahah! They look glorious!! All jokes aside your garden is really coming along oh so beautifully! That is neat trick with the mirror in the gate, very whimsical....I love that!
My goodness that POPPY is POPPIN!! LOL
Richard laughs at the twig LOL, its a grower not a shower HAHAH!
Labor of Love!! Have a great day!
Yes a grower not a shower, he should know that’s a thing 🤣 oh yes my alliums have been great this year, definitely planting more of those this Autumn. Thank you AJ? 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 🥴🤣🤣
What a transformation you did an amazing job.
Thank you so much Dessy, I’ve done a lot this Spring so hoping to take Sumner a bit easier. I bet I don’t though!!
Looks beautiful 🤩 Janette! I did my brother’s garden using almost all existing plants - divided all the perennials in his garden. I did plant some new plants for some colour in a corner of his garden....so i think it’s very fun gardening on a budget.
Your rhododendron doesn’t flower? It likes acidic soil so perhaps you need to give it some diluted coffee when watering or add some sulfur to your soil.
Your Barbary is pinkish....cute!
Very envious of your cosmosmia bush...these tubers don’t do well in my previous garden - love their red striking blooms.
Hello Tracy!! Coffee? I did not know that, very interesting. It seems to bloom maybe every third year or so. So maybe that’s the answer. Your brother is very lucky having you as his garden designer. Hope you’re doing well 😍
I love your beautiful garden tour such a beautiful garden
Thank you 🙏
Moxie Gardens, I'm on my way. Love finding new channels. Your tour is excellent!
You won’t be disappointed!!
Pouring down today! Lovely garden Jenett 😁
It’s rained all day!!
Slugs are definitely attracted to hostas and dahlias. I don’t have any hostas. I couldn’t take the destruction or manage the slug population! But I’m using the organic slug pellets near my dahlias. I’m loving this tour. I have a lot of the plants that you have. I’m thrilled to see that. I’m in Ireland so similar zone to you.
Hello Anya. I get what you say completely. I said I wasn’t going to do hostas ever again because of the slugs, even though they’re one of my favourite plants. But then I saw these in Tescos, right by the paying section, they knew I would be tempted when they put them there. And before I knew it they were in my trolley 🤣 but yes, so annoying. And they’ve eaten my little coleus too, which I looked after for weeks in my greenhouse. I should have known that was going to happen. Slugs are my most annoying problem. And we have lots of the same plants as you in Ireland! That’s fun to know. I must go visit Ireland, I have never been! So lovely to chat to you, have a great weekend 🥰
So beautiful enjoyed the walk about
Hello Carrline and thank you for joining me around my garden 😍
Fabulous garden! your hard work is really paying off. Painting the fence has really set the plants off.
Hi Julie and thank you. Yes I agree, the fence makes everything look nice. Do you know, that was over a year ago now? Time has flown by. Hope you’re doing good 😍
It's looking lovely Janette your heucheras are gorgeous, the dreaded vine weevil ate all of mine. I think the plant you thought was a pieris is a choisya sundance. They love lots of sun and won't perform otherwise. I'd cut all of the dead off & put it in a very sunny position & you should be rewarded with lots of lovely white fragrant flowers next spring. And the plant you called wild berries? Looks like a skimmia to me, anyway that's today's lesson 😂😂😂😂. Keep up the great work!!!
Yes!!! Stephen!!! You’re right, choisya and skimmia. I never remember those two names. Been puzzling me so thank you 🤣 right, I am going to trim off the old bits on my “choisya” and it only gets morning sun so I’ll move that. I love my heucheras, sorry to hear yours got eaten though. Why do our favourite things get eaten? So annoying. Well it has poured down with rain all day today so I’ve been very lazy and sitting watching TV with my dogs today (I have a week off work - school half term). Thanks for watching and for my gardening lesson ✅ I’ll try not to forget ... choisya skimmia ... choisya skimmia 🤣
Nice job, Jeanette. Looks great. 👍
Oh thank you Jake, so lovely of you. I’ve filmed another tour for this Friday and everything has just show up since this video. Hope you’re doing well 😊
Good morning ,lovely. Thank you for that little walk around your garden.Saw so many things we've watched you doing over the last couple of months.I now know the names of three plants that I never knew before.You should be proud of yourself. Keep your lovely smiles going.See you in the next one.
Hello Allan, you’re the best at boosting me!! I got 2 of the names wrong 🤣🤣 so I hope you didn’t learn them wrong. Someone kindly told me the real names in these comments (skimmia and choisya, I called from wild Berry??? And pieris???). Anyway I’ll try not to forget those now. I think the others were right though 🤣🤣 I think (hope) you will like Tuesday’s video, it’s a bit of fun and a celebration 🎉 🍾😊
Love moxie gardens!
Me too!!! 😊
First of all the gate illusion was amazing 👏 !!! I was ready to walk through this gate. Well done!! I can relate to the morning tour you take each day. Unfortunately I have to wait until evening to do my walk about. You have a wonderful garden. I love to meet all the wonderful people who share our passion for our gardens!
Thank you for the kind words you had for Moxie Garden's! You are officially my first friend from across the pond. Thank you!!
Hi Mike, as I said before, your new channel is amazing and I just know you are going to wow just about everyone now. So glad you decided to be a RUclipsr, I’ll be watching every episode and I’m just delighted now to know you!! And I’m glad you like my garden illusion gate too, maybe you can make yourself one 👍 speak soon no doubt 🤩🥰
Your garden is so beautiful thank you so much for sharing it hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy
Oh thank you so much Grandma Sandy 🥰
Looking lovely. I'm enjoying your channel very much. Your hard work is paying off. 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍.
Hello Mandy and thank you so much for watching. I’m hoping to actually sit in my garden and enjoy it 🤣🤣 but I keep spotting things to do. Must sit and “smell the Roses” as they say. Have a great weekend 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I know what you mean. Mine is out of control I've been looking after my father for couple of years. We lost him in November now I'm trying to get back into it. We live in a bungalow but the garden is on a hill (higher than the house). It is hard work but love to see it all blooming. Have a lovely weekend x.
Oh Mandy I’m sorry, I lost my dear Dad in February to Covid so I know how that feels. I do think gardening is a good way to forget things for a while so it’s really good for our well-being. Hope you get back into it, it will do you a lot of good 😍
Lovely Garden! 💜
Thank you so much Lisa 🥰
Ohh Jeanette your garden looks fabulous!!!!! Love the garden path and why you don’t want to go to work 😛. Fabulous gate with the mirror. All the plants look so nice and healthy. It’s really good to see year to year how our plants mature. I love that big blue ornament by the twig tree. It looks like a tomato. I love your sense of humor - it’s subtle 👩🏾🌾😜. Una is a garden gem. Love her channel. I love Sedum Autumn Joy I love it’s round habit. Love the stepping stones. Can you tell I loved your video??? 👩🏾🌾👩🏾🌾👩🏾🌾. I have subscribed to Moxie. Can’t wait to watch.
Oh Renee you are just the nicest !! Thank you for your lovely kind comments. I love that you call it the twig tree 🤣 that blue ball is a pumpkin actually, I’ve had it so long I don’t even notice it any more!! The gate is a good optical illusion isn’t it, I really like it and I too love sedum for its big round shape. Yes, we all work so hard in our gardens and I for one need to find time to sit and enjoy it more. Might be easier now summer is coming because, as you know, Spring just seems to be so incredibly busy. So lovely chatting to you 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener my pleasure. You are a joy to watch.
Wonderful. Marvellous.
Well thank you Mooj 😊
Love your garden!
Thank you so much Ilene 🥰
The tour not too long, everything looks so beautiful. The grass looks good and the oval is perfect. I'm in Boston and my verbena looks just like yours.😊.
Hello Adra, Boston sounds so lovely. I’ve never been unfortunately so I’ll book a ticket and come and see you 😉 I think our verbenas will start shooting up real soon, I do love them 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener me too love them. Sadly Boston isnt lovely, it's too congested.
@@adrabruzzese7610 oh is it? Like any big city I guess. I’m still coming to visit you 🤣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I wish I could visit your garden.😊. I'm hoping in the next ten yrs to move to a small town and have much more land.
Oh that sounds like a plan 👍
Super precious
Oh thank you Lulu 🥰
Hello!!!! I just found your channel and love your garden! So beautiful! I also just found Moxi Gardens too and you are right, his garden is gorgeous. I love the mirror...what a clever idea!!!! 💕 I am an avid gardener too and garden in Richmond Virginia. Thank you and happy gardening! 🌷🌺🌼
Hello Anna and thank you so much for watching, it’s so lovely to have a new gardening friend 😍 💕💕
Lovely garden. Your rhododendron needs ericaceous feed. Hopefully then it should bloom for you every year. Also they make their buds this year for flowering next year. It looks like new leaves that's growing at the tips 🙂
Oh thank you Pat, I will try that then. And so they’re not flowerbuds then? I wasn’t sure, but at least it’s growing!! I’ll give it a feed. Hope you’re doing well and great tips, thank you!! 🙏
Beautiful!
Hello Angela, how are you? Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful garden 👍
Nice post 👌
Hi there and thank you so much. Hope you’re doing well!
Garden is looking lovely 💗💗
Hello there and thank you so much for joining me around my garden 😍
Janette, I don’t know where to begin but your garden looks just like an American thinks an English garden should be💚, so beautiful. Everything is coming together nicely, I love your aeoniums I think that’s what they are, the tall purple flowers🤩. I’m going to visit a few garden centers this weekend, once again you inspire me, planty hugs from NY💚.
Ah planty hugs back to you xx and how fun to know my garden is how Americans think of English gardens too!! Those tall purple plants are alliums, they are bulbs you can plant in Autumn, from the onion family. And I’m definitely going to plant more of those this October because I think they’re fabulous. Thanks so much for always leaving me such wonderful comments, love them!!
Janette you are very welcome, I mean it, you inspire to get into our gardens and make them better, it’s always a work in progress☺️. I want to plant those alliums, omg they are just stunning and I love how tall they get in between the smaller plants, they really put on a show, and the color 🤩, purple is a show stopper in the garden. I will now be on the hunt for those bulbs I don’t want to miss them 😂. I will follow Garden mole too!
@@elizabethgreco-nieves3667 😊😊😊
☺️☺️
Lovely garden tour and a much deserved gin and tonic. I love how you put light and dark plantings together really creating a strong contrast. The alliums are gorgeous, I have planted a few white and yellow Iris in-between my Alliums which seems to work, although the Iris are a bit slower in coming out. Your metal baskets are beginning to look a treat. You and Richard deserve your lovely garden because you are always working at it. Cheers : ) : )
Oh thank you Penelope, and I love those aliums too, I will definitely plant more this Autumn. Loving my new planters too. Spring has been a lot of work in the garden (and workshop) so hoping for a bit more of a rest 🤣😍😊 hope you’re ok xx
Your garden is so dear, just like you. Thank you for sharing your hard work and passion. Soooo much to learn and love here.
Hello Stacy and what a really lovely comment, thank you so much 😍
Lovely and Lovely....
Ah thank you Zaleha 🥰
Absolutely gorgeous and I love the color combos!! 🌺🌼
Thank you so much Shopna 😊
So lovely and I will have a look at Moxie Gardens!!
Oh you must, it’s a fabulous channel!
Absolutely gorgeous and I love the color combos !!!
Thank you so much Erlinda. 😍
Hi Janette, Clearly you’ve been very busy and your lovely garden is your reward.👏 I have purchased a few plants you have in your garden which I probably wouldn’t have looked twice at in the garden centre like the huechera and dusty millers so thanks for the inspiration. I too am growing strawberries for me the first time, I would say mine are slightly ahead of yours but fingers crossed all looking good and waiting to try them. Can I suggest a perennial you might want to consider for one of your spaces! Alstroemerias, I have 4 and each one a different colour. They flower for about 3-4 mths through summer and look stunning. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next upload. Jason.
Hi Jason, I just googled alstroemerias and you are right, very beautiful and so I will try and find myself one (or two). I’m glad to have introduced you to heucheras because they are one of my favourites, so many different colours and have year round interest, you can divide them and they very tough plants. And I like dusty millers, although they do go through the winter for me, I do like to buy new little ones each year because they grow very big and then get quite leggy. Plus they’re very cheap too. They have yellow flowers but I don’t really care for them much. Let’s hope we both have success with our strawberries too, I think I need to net them before the birds find them. Thank you for your lovely comments and of course for watching 😍
Thank you for sharing
And thank you for watching Rocquel 😍
Looks lovelly Janette! Thanks for this walk. You have acompished so much this year.
Thank you so much Magnus 😊
Janette you have beautiful garden 😍and lots of beautiful peranial and Anuals shrubs 🪴beautiful flowers💐 and beautiful young tree 🌳and its Amazingly planted 👌
I am in Essex in clayhall also and I Love watching and learning from other anthusiast gardner🙋♂️I have also seen Moxie Garden on You Tube video its brilliant. Enjoy enjoy your hobby 😊
Hello Pinakin how lovely to chat to another Essex gardener 😊 thank you so much for watching. Everything has changed so much in the past month so I do hope you will watch next Friday’s July garden tour 😊 take care 🦋
Oh, thank for recommending Moxie Gardens! I love finding new channels 💚 Your garden is looking lovely 💚💚💚
Hello Nicole, thank you so very much and I promise you won’t be disappointed when you watch Moxie Gardens! You’ll be hooked like me 😊
Beautiful garden and tour! Love ❤️ everything! You must so happy enjoying your free time there or tending to your garden! Your hard scrape is beautiful!
Thank you so much Lidia 😊
Love this!!! Enjoyed every minute of it 😍😍😍 well done!! Xxx❤️👍🏻
Thank you my lovely!!
Wow very very beautiful I love how charming your garden is, I like the bugs idea 💡 on the fence....... very stunning Jeanette I had to watch your garden tour twice 😁❤️❤️.
Oh my goodness Rich did you really watch twice? I keep thinking I’ll have a bit of a rest but I keep seeing things i can move 🤣🤣
Love this tour - everything is waking up. The poppy, allium, euphorbia, cloud prune all looking healthy and happy. Your greenhouse is amazing!
Maverick was barking at Lottie - saying hello to her I imagine.
Am I the only one who didn't realize your illusion gate led nowhere? I thought it was hung on a gate...the stepping stones threw me off...the operative word being 'illusion'...duh me!
Ah little Maverick!! Barking on the TV always sets my two off as well. Oh yes, my illusion gate goes absolutely nowhere 😊 I just assume everyone knows that 🤣 I love my little greenhouse too, it has been so useful already this year. Thanks for always watching Deborah 😍
Aww everything looks gorgeous 🪴🌺🪴
Hello Jasmine and thank you so much as always 😍
I love all the variations of color and height differences along the grass line! My alliums are exactly the color of yours last year they were lighter in color. I wonder if weather has to do with the shade of the flower??🧐. Beautiful!🌺🪴
Hello Mary and thank you very much. I only planted those aliums last Autumn but I’m thinking the weather probably has something to do with their colour too. I hope you’re doing great 😍
Great garden tour..
Love the view from the corner and your mirror.. Nice tribute .
Hi Chris, thank you. I love that view too. And my mirror. Have you finished your pond joining yet? Mind you, our gardens are never finished are they? Moxie Gardens is a jewel of a find, you must have a look, and Mike makes everything so interesting with his stories 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener
Correct.. We never are done.. Been planting around the pond.. Also have been working on my veggie gardens and my hydroponics/aquaponics.. I wanna get some staining in as well. Lots in the list..
I will give him a look just because you asked
I’ve given up on vegetables for the time being. I was eating tons of the lettuce but it’s turned bitter so I’ve pulled it out. I do have tomatoes ive grown from seed though so I will plant all those out. I think it’s because I don’t really know what I’m doing with veg. Plus Rich isn’t really keen on salads so I’ll end up with loads of stuff for just me.
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I keep the lettuce in small container pots.. Trick is to pick in the morning.. Wash and allow to dry.. It wont be bitter.. Something about the water content in cooler temps in morning makes them taste better plus I have 4 or 5 different types.. I grow a lot of tomatoes some peppers cucumbers but mainly fruit..
@@stubbsaquatics6080 oh ok really good tips!!
How about using a breathable membrane around the bay to stop the suckers? Might be worth a try x
Oh Deborah what a good idea. Yes I could try that. Thank you!! 🙏😍🥰😎
Your garden is beautiful! I saw your garden tour on Linda Vater . I garden in US in West Virginia. My daughter lives in Ipswich, UK and has a beautiful garden also!
Hello Peggy, thank you so much 😊 Ipswich is not too far from me, maybe an hour’s drive, it’s the next county. I know a few gardening friends now in Virginia. Linda was so kind to feature me on her channel and I watch every single one of her videos, she’s one of my favourites 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I will be anxious to see your next video also!
Absolutely gorgeous looking garden over view dear, most awaited 😊 soo soo loved it, soo healthy looking plants all growing soo beautifully, wow can't take my eyes off it, want to see it again n again. 👌👌👌👌👌👌☺️
Oh Tanu you are just the loveliest!! Thank you as always my friend 😍
Just beautiful! I joined just in time to follow you update your space. I’m amazed at how beautiful it is! And all of your hard work! I do so enjoy your channel.🥰
Oh Ellen thank you, that’s so nice of you and I’m so pleased you are following along. Whereabouts are you? 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I’m in the US in Tennessee. My hubby and I just built a house on a river. We have woods and water. Very beautiful here, but I have a ton of work to do. I’m still living here and figuring it out, as well as watching some great gardeners like you! 😀
Ellen that sounds just magical to me, and peaceful and tranquil. Beautiful. I hope you’ll be really happy in your new home and how exciting to be able to create a whole new garden from scratch. You should tackle a little area at a time I think and not try and have the whole scheme in your head before you start because I think new ideas will evolve. You are going to have so much fun doing that. I think creating new areas is the best bit 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Agreed!! Plus I’m too old to tackle too much at once!🤣
Little and often and we soon get there 😍
What a lovely garden tour! Thank you so much. New sub here 😃
Hello there, so lovely to have a new gardening friend 💕💕 thank you so much for watching 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you. It's great to connect
Oh Janette, seeing your beautiful garden makes me want to rush over to the garden centre. You have some gorgeous plants, I especially love that dark heucara . I've been desperately looking for coleus but can't find any :( Have a lovely weekend xx
Hi lovely Debbie 😍 I love the heucheras too. I think they are some of the best plants you can buy because they come in so many colours, you can split them and make more and they have all round interest. Love them. Yes ... rush to that garden centre right now!! I’ve put your video tour and pictures in for this Sunday I hope you like it. Have you found spots for your new obelisks yet?
Lovvvly…
Hello Nigel and thank you so much!! Not long now until Spring and we can start all over again 🌷🎉
Janette what a treat to see your garden - it is beautiful!
I have a question about the illusion gate - did you buy it or make it? I'm thinking I might need one... it's funny how you say that every morning you walk around your garden - that's what I do and I wonder if all gardeners do that!
I love the new oval shape of the lawn and all the new planting space - everything is flowing together so nicely. I will be putting in similar pavers to create a path to the back garden (must watch some DYI videos).
Your plants that I can relate to best are the ones that I grow myself of course... your blue fescue grasses are phenomenal - they love it there! And your fabulous euonymous topiaries (I have you to thank for my love of euonymus. Your mahonia is amazing (I hope Una helps you figure out what the leaf browning is all about) - hose stunning berries (mine has like 10 berries total due to the harsh winter). What you call the flamingo plant we call here the dappled willow (hakuro nishiki) - I have one but it is not on standard like yours. You will love it - the various color transformations that it goes through and how graceful and playful it is. Mine is a shrub form that I limbed up a bit and it is a monster. Oh and the vanilla fraise hydrangea - I bought one last year and I hope it blooms the way it did when I bought it - most fabulous hydrangea flowers ever!
The plants that you grow and I don't, but you've endeared them to me: the stick plant (truly special), all the lovely roses (I'm crazy over the old yellow one that's hiding). The laurel on standard!!! The lemon cypress topiaries (can you leave those outside in the winter where you live?). And your holly cloude pruned masterpiece - yes!!!!!!! And all the gorgeous clematis - I need one in my life. Lastly, love your new annual planters, esp the Bollywood mix!
So I stumbled upon moxie gardens the other day and I love it! The guy is so talented with hardscaping and has a good eye!
I think this is the longest comment I've ever written haha!
Hello lovely Iza and I think that yours is maybe the longest comment I’ve received too 🤣🤣 thank you. I bought the garden illusion gate from primrose.co.uk and they have other styles too plus they do little windows and shutters etc (I have one by my fountain) and I think they’re so lovely. You could make one though I think. My friend actually came round the other day and took pictures and all the measurements and she is going to try and make her own. It’s not actually a mirror like you’d have in your house, but some sort of acrylic sheet so it is ok being outside. I love my blue fescue grass too and my standard willow, I hope it turns pink like the picture. And my euonymus topiaries and of course my new little cloud prune one. I’m glad I’ve given you some good ideas. I am trying to think of your other questions because if I try to read yours back while I’m typing, I have to ‘discard’ what I’ve written and dismiss my reply so far and start again 🤣🤣 oh yes, I can leave my lemon cypress out all year and in fact I’ve just remembered that it snowed in February so they survived that ok. I love stepping stones I have them dotted around everywhere which is very handy. So lovely chatting to you, and I hope you have a fabulous weekend 🎉🎉🎉
So of course that primrose company is UK only. Serves me right if you can’t buy bonide products 😂
Yes It is a UK company, but there’s bound to be something similar over where you are. Perhaps Google garden illusion gate or similar. If not, maybe you can make one and then start up a new company and sell them - a new business venture? 🤣👍🥰🍾😎
Moxie Gardens is great! He used gardening to fix problems with his home.
Hi there Joan, yes he is amazing!!
I really like the oval garden.. I would almost be tempted to take out all the grass and put mother of thyme.. Soft, you can walk on it but never need to cut it.. Hmm I hope I didnt ruin your surprise
Mother of thyme ... I had not thought of that !!! I’m not sure you are going to approve of my surprise, but then you don’t have grass either (I’m pretty sure you don’t anyway) so I don’t think you’ll be mad at me 😉
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener lol.. I could never be mad at you..
I like mother of thyme.. I have grass at front and side of the house.. No grass in the back. All decks gardens and ponds

Be careful. Propagation of patented plants can land someone in a lawsuit. Lovely garden!
What do you mean Sarah? You’ve got me worried now!!
David Austin roses are protected by patent law. You are probably safe bc no one is traveling to sue people right now.
OMG!!!! Well Sarah thank you for letting me know that 😮
Hello sweetie where are your long blue planters from please ❤
Hello there Southern girl, those were actually second hand from a car boot sale quite a number of years ago so unfortunately I couldn’t tell you, so sorry about that. Hope you’re having a great weekend 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you for the super fast reply yes thank you hope you are too 🤗 love a good car boot ☺ they are gorgeous 😍 I found you because I bought a bargains of fruit trees with gardening express so now I have 11 of them 🤯 😂 how are yours doing? Would love an update vlog please 🙏 x
Oh wow 11 fruit trees is going to be amazing!! Mine were tiny when I planted in Feb 21 and now 2 years on they are really getting established. I had cherries last summer and they’re growing again now, and first time this year I have plums growing and apples on one of them. Nothing on the other apple or the pear but I like the structure of them even without any fruit, so give them time and I probably should spray them or something but I haven’t, and this year I fertilised with rosé fertiliser (it said on packet good for fruit trees too). I’ll probably do an end June garden tour in 2 weeks time and I’ll be sure to show you then ♥️
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener that will be amazing to see thank you 🤗 mine are only small 5 x 5ft trees and 6x dwarf pillar ones I've put in pots
So fingers crossed they will be OK 🤞 I'm not a green finger gardener yet ☺ but learning from you and others on here 🤗 ❤
Can you just imagine all those fruit salads you’ll be having 👍 🍎 🍉 🥰
Your garden is looking so lush and beautiful. I am a home gardener in west midlands and my garden is also in the process of evolution but doing well. I have uploaded the tour of my garden recently if anyone would be interested to check out.
This year it feels a bit behind as compared to last year thanks to the weird weather.
It is always so inspiring and helpful to see how other people gardens are doing.
Hello there, thank you so much. Just looked at your video and I love your front garden! I love the paving, it looks gorgeous. You have so many beautiful plants and vegetables 🥰
That guy's so full of himself.
Ok!! 😊😊😊
