I loved the methodology. I honestly thought I was the only one. I can't sleep sometimes because my designs bother me on paper, and I move them around my flip chart at 4am. I loved this episode so much I'm watching again. Picking up my shrubs and trees on Wednesday. I've got a bare grass, clay soil, south westerly and windy in Devon. Only moved in last September and agonised for months over this 20m x 35m bare space every day. Thanks for shouting about cornus kousa - this will be spectacular in both yours and my garden. I've got pond planning after all my hedging and structures done. Can't think about much else. Fabulous advice.
So funny to hear that, I too have sleepless nights when I get one of my crazy ideas in my head! Having the channel is great as I can vent my ideas and then someone may tell me something I hadn’t thought of which always leads to a better design and avoids all the pitfalls we used to make when we were new to gardening! Good luck with all plans, I’m sure it will be fantastic!! Jenny
I’m so excited to watch the rest of the videos about this space. I’m currently planning out my backyard and wanted it to be full of trees and shrubs. It happens to be around the same size as the space you’re working on. The tip about cutting out the trees to move them around on the plan was great, I will definitely be doing that.
Thanks so much for this episode. Having made the wrong choice of trees in the past- Gorgeous Heritage River Birch had very invasive root system and deer peeled the beautiful bark before we could enjoy it, and Regents Scholar tree had beautiful form but dropped messy seed pods and fruit periodically- we have learned a very expensive lesson. Both trees have since been removed. Thorough research is critical when making tree selections. Love your very methodical approach. 👍👏👏
I am looking forward to seeing them get planted and learning more about them!!!! And your channel is mutually beneficial!! I love seeing what is popular in other parts of the world. And surprisingly, most of the time, it is the same in my area of the US. My zone is too warm for many many of the really great evergreens. But, I still enjoy watching and learning from others. Many years ago, I moved from my home area of a zone 5 to a zone 8b! Lol, that has taken some getting used to hahahaha. I do greatly enjoy your channel. And am thankful that Daniel introduced her audience to you!!
I have a forest pansy. Love it , reminds me of a glass of expensive red wine . Flowers are often missed as new leaves are the same color. Fall color is lovely and the dark grey bark gives me enjoyment in winter. Tx for your comments re planning ,drawing etc good ideas
I will say that through the camera, the Strawberry tree seems to be camouflaged against the hedging behind it. I didn't notice it at first until you pointed it out. But I am sure that would probably change in time with some growth & the paths put in and other plant choices to come.
Yes, you are right, maybe we need something that contrasts with the hedge, I will look into whether we should switch out for something else. Good point and thanks for pointing this out Jenny
The arbutus will make a bit of a mess with the fruits when they drop but I think you guys will genuinely fall in love with it as a tree they have all year round interest and look like a giant Pieris eventually as tue leaves are similar as are the flowers. Also keep an eye on tue cercis for scale insects mine was attacked and survived but it did affect some stems.
Thank you! I really love your videos because they are so full of information. Love the tours too. Just curious, are you wearing a microphone? Sometimes the sound fluctuates quite a bit. Not a big deal because I just adjust the volume but thought I'd mention it. I can't wait to see you plant all of your new trees!
Yes, I noticed that when I edited. Not sure what happened, I bought a really good mic recently so don’t know if I hadn’t turned it on properly (most likely user error!) but thank you for the feedback, hopefully the next one will be better!
I am in Los Angeles and I love my two RedBuds: a Forest Pansy Red Bud and a Flame Thrower Red Bud. I also have a beautiful ginkgo. I also have 75 foot LiquidAmbar, which I hate. While the fall color is glorious, the seed pods with the spikes are a nightmare.
AND OMG!!!!!! I need that little bitty digger!!!!!! Hahahaha how helpful & fun! At that size, I could let my little 3 year old grandson operate it and do the work lol. (kidding. Maybe when he is 5 😉)
Yes, it’s fab. Wish we owned it, it’s so handy. We are lucky to have such a good farmer friend who lets us have it whenever we need it, we get so much done when we have it. Thanks for watching Jenny
My little cutie one wasn’t expensive but then it’s only little. I don’t think the bigger ones were too bad at the nursery, just tried to zoom in on the plant labels on the footage I took but can’t see a price. I will look next time I go, are you in the UK?
Thank you very interesting and informative 🌳

Greetings from Iowa, USA; you’re doing such a lovely job of educating us!🦋thank you 💕
delighted for you 🙂 enjoy each and every one of them
I can’t wait to see all of the trees planted.
Awesome strategic planning!!
Love it!!

Can't wait to see it all come together!
Great video. Good luck on this new project. Seeing the size of some of the trees, they may need to be staked for one year.
Thank you. Yes, we will definitely stake them

Wonderfully informative 🥰👏. Thanks and looking forward to the planting videos Be Blesses
Thank you for the dedication to these videos, and to the earth really. It’s lovely ma’am.
Really very informative..thank you for sharing.
Can’t wait to see them grow!

So thorough thanks!
So inspirational and informative ❤
I love this sensible video about trees. Very helpful!

Thank you for your advice, we will need to bear in mind the fruit fall and make sure it’s not near a path
Many thanks

Glad to here that, it sounds from your experience like I’ve made the right choices- that’s good to know. Many thanks
Jenny
You can get varieties that don’t from the seeds.
Well done 😊
Lovely trees. Can I ask which nursery you have purchased your trees from please?thanks
The Dingle Nursery in Welshpool, Wales
Thanks for watching
Jenny
Very informative video, enjoyed it a lot, thanks for sharing. Where is the tree nursery you are using?
We use The Dingle and The Derwen in Welshpool
Would you consider also using the common names as well as the Latin names when talking about plants, shrubs and trees?
Thank you for your feedback and I will do that in future videos
Thanks for watching
Jenny
Beware of the Arbutus. It’s very messy. Those strawberry fruits fall and get stuck in your shoes and make the ground quite slimy.
Good to know, we will make sure it’s away from the path
Thank you

Ginkos are so expensive
My little cutie one wasn’t expensive but then it’s only little. I don’t think the bigger ones were too bad at the nursery, just tried to zoom in on the plant labels on the footage I took but can’t see a price. I will look next time I go, are you in the UK?
